Pre- Order
Glasgow’s Urvanovic ‘let’s not be here’
Released 29th March via Common Grounds Records

Glasgow's Urvanovic (uhr - vah - no - vitch) are a noisy chamber-pop ensemble consisting of stalwart members Tom Irvine (songwriter/composer/lyricist/vocals), Seonaid Stevenson (vocals), Niall Sinclair (producer/noise-maker) and David Hill (drums/percussion) plus an extended line-up of string players.

"Let's Not Be Here" is a record about evolving through catastrophe - romanticising ruination as an incitement to action. On this record, Urvanovic indulge in the escapism of an imagined apocalypse as a catalyst for positive personal change. Forgoing their earlier alt-folk influences, "Let's Not Be Here" embraces Urvanovic's latent maximalism & experimentation. Veering between dense, wall-of-noise synthesis and abstract soundscapes - further embellished by colourful string arrangements, theatrical vocals and orchestral percussion - this is a dynamic, complex, and at times abrasive record

I genuinely can't remember being as excited about playing as I am about these upcoming launch shows.
Pianodrome is about as perfect a setting for these songs as I can imagine. The new album has been very warmly received, the band is sounding fantastic and we're champing at the bit to play for you all.
