BBC 6 Music, Clash Magazine & Rapidshare

BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson featured "Radio Silence" on his show last Friday. He played the full 7 minute album version - rather than the Radio Edit.

Meantime, "Endless Air" has been given a very positive review in next month's Clash magazine where it was rated 7/10.

Sadly, the new album is being heavily bootlegged on the internet. We'd urge any true music lovers to buy the actual CD or the official download version to enable Admoog to carry on making music.

Above all, please don't download the album from those Russian mp3 sites that sell songs for $0.10. The money funds illicit activities and musicians never get a penny.

Endless Air - reviews

We've just heard that our new album has been awarded 4 out of 5 by the highly respected country publication "Maverick". The review's due in the June issue.

Meanwhile, for our Dutch supporters, here's a review from "Alt Country NL" who also gave the album 4 stars :

Van synthesizers zijn we niet echt verrukt in rootsland. Maar soms… Wat te denken van bijvoorbeeld een band als Additional Moog. Met die groepsnaam begint het al. En jawel, die ouderwetse Moog-synthesizer komt er inderdaad aan te pas op Endless Air (eigen beheer) van deze Britse band. Maar, zoals ook al duidelijk mag zijn, hooguit als een toevoeging. Op het uitstekende debuut Thirty Three & A Third ging de band aan het werk in het verlengde van het Schotse Teenage Fanclub, maar deze nieuwe plaat is nog iets ambitieuzer. Quietly Through The Canyon is alleen door die titel al een fraai begin. Met Kicking Static doen ze aan het soort soul van Stillhouse, terwijl Harmonica Fuel brandstof zou kunnen zijn voor liefhebbers van Fleet Foxes. Holy Jukebox kent Byrdsy gitaarwerk. Het sleutelstuk van de plaat is Radio Silence, een ruim zeven minuten durend stuk dat begint met statisch geruis en iets dat lijkt op het draaien aan een radioknop waarbij geen enkele zender ontvangen wordt, en waar gaandeweg de ambities gaan richting het vernieuwende werk van Wilco. In Signs On Fifty-Four horen we het hoge geluid van de Moog in al zijn glorie, terwijl afsluiter The Slow Fade dan weer gaat richting westcoast door flonkerende gitaarboogjes en beheerste samenzang. Verkrijgbaar bij CD Baby.

Leicester and Oswestry this week...and BBC 6 Music

We're playing two gigs this week ahead of the release of our new single "Silver Diver" which is out on iTunes on April 20th.

The track's recently been played on the Stephen Merchant show on BBC 6 Music.

This Wednesday (8th) we play the Firebug in Leicester. £5. Stagetime 9pm.

On Saturday (11 April) it's a "hometown gig" at Oswestry's Ironworks. Full details to be confirmed but expect us to start making noises around 9pm.

NME Radio

NME Radio is the first station to pick up on the new Additional Moog single "Silver Diver".

The track - taken from the forthcoming second album by the band "Endless Air" - is released worldwide on April 20th via Fight This Generation! records.

NME Radio broadcasts on Sky 184 and Virgin Media 975 and also streams on line at www.nme.com

Silver Diver : Coming Soon

New single "Silver Diver" releases April 20 on Fight This Generation!

You'll be able to download it from iTunes, Napster and other digital stores including 7Digital.

Be sure to request a play on your favourite national radio station!

Big thanks to Tim Sheerman-Chase who provided the artwork for the single. Investigate some of his photography over at Flickr.

Back to the Future

Many thanks for those who attended our show at "What's Cookin" in east London. We had a fine time shaking the live rust from our boots. Shame about the 2 hour M25 road closure on the way home.

As you may now, April 20th sees the release of "Silver Diver", our new single and the first track to be taken from the forthcoming "Endless Air" album on FightThisGeneration! records. See previous (and future) blogs for more info.

In the meantime we have homework to do ahead of some special "hometown" launch gigs which we'll be holding at The Ironworks in Oswestry over the Easter holiday weekend and at Leicester's Firebug a few days beforehand. If there's time we're also hoping to slot in a couple of other shows. More info soon.

Live in London this week

We're here at The Sheepwalk in Leytonstone, east London this Wednesday.

Doors open 8.30pm.

Additional Moog plays from 9.30pm til 11pm.

This gig's part of the What's Cookin' series of Americana concerts held at The Sheepwalk and also features local band Jawbone.
