Working with poets and film makers and writing custom music software to sync videos to their live performances, the band construct a multimedia experience where dense ambient textures and intricate rhythms underlie beautiful melodies highlighted by violin and viola.
Recorded at Cafe Music Studios in east London (Orbital, Brian Eno, King Creosote) and produced by Mark Sutherland & Cherif Hashizume, ‘The Narrow State’ is a collection of beautifully crafted compositions and features the work of poet Steve Willey.
Rumour Cubes were formed in mid-2009 and are united by their shared love of pushing the boundaries of music and technology beyond the everyday. Their debut EP, ‘We Have Sound Houses Also’ was lauded by The Silent Ballet as being “enough to …put the band in the running for the title of ‘best new artist’” and The 405 had this to say about the band;“They make music to make and break hearts, full of cinematic sentiment that gets stuck in your soul. Think of them as the soundtrack to your daydreams.”
In the past year they have received radio play from BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson and appeared alongside Three Trapped Tigers and Her Name Is Calla.
‘The Narrow State’ is available for pre-order now from Bandcamp and will be launched at The Horatia in Highbury, London on Saturday 18th February.
