Ashbury Heights - Three Cheers for the Newlydeads

Ashbury Heights - Three Cheers for the NewlydeadsThe day I listened to a song of Ashbury Heights for the first time I was in Granada, in a gothic pub called UNTOTEN. We had to ask about the song we were listening… It was so melodic and catchy!! They told us the name of the group, and the next day we were looking for info about them in the web.

I knew that Out of line was releasing their CD, as I check their web regularly searching for news… I had seen the coverart before in their ‘new releases’ section, but I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it as I was eclipsed with the UnterArt ‘Memento’! (And I’m still crazy about it! I don’t know why I extremely love their music above the rest… Sometimes I feel like a mad teenager fan… :S).

The thing is that after listening to the music of Ashbury Heights I think a new style in futurepop is coming… They make fresh tracks, they have wonderful melodies and high quality voice effects; but at the same time their music is so accessible, that it would perfectly fit in any MTV show…

You should listen to “Bare Your Teeth”, with a starting melody that augurs what you’re gonna find in the CD. I also love “Smaller” (a great chorus that makes you sing though you don’t want to), and “Penance”…

I’m longing for the day that dark electro music becomes successful out of the dark scene!

UnterArt Wallpaper from Out of LineThe next CD of UnterArt comes with a great cover design… I loved their first CD artwork, but I think this one is even better. The mixture of texures and the touch of reds and orange over white make it really powerfull. And I’ve allways admired the art of making something so bright look so dark…

We don’t have the CD in our hands right now, as the release date is the 1st of february, but I guess the designer of the cover is the same that their first CD artwork designer… Look that noisy texture over everything!. Check the website, a great portfolio full of CD sleeves with a peculiar style.

Out of line has uploaded an UnterArt wallpaper, which I’ve already made mine!! Now we just have to wait for the CD to be in the stores…
