Release Date: 16th October
Movietone's second album with a lovely and long-awaited reissue. The 90s band from Bristol find their music in a time where their featherlight melodies that hold and float to the floor is just the medicine for a world turning to genres like slowcore where one wishes to pull back from the maximal and the overwhelm and just allow life to sit for a moment.
The first ever reissue of Movietone's seminal album Day And Night since it came out in 1997. The record is an overlooked diamond of British 90s music – a perfectly crafted slice of atmospheric post-rock, the tracks wander and meander like rivers, blooming into hushed climaxes. The band spawned out of the collective of groups that gathered around the Bristol-based Planet Records label in the early 90s, including Flying Saucer Attack, Third Eye Foundation, Crescent and Hood. In recent years, Movietone have gained a cult following as their music has found its way to a new generation of fans - tracks from Day and Night have been gradually populating NTS tracklists and their eponymous debut was reissued by World of Echo in 2023. All physical formats come with a new booklet designed by Kate Wright, from the band, with captions and images from her archives alongside brand new liner notes by Stephen McRobbie (The Pastels).
