Album Info

RIVAL CONSOLES – KID VELO The New Album. Released Track by Track, Week after Week. 11.4.-27.6. 2011 ABOUT THIS ALBUM VIRAL CAMPAIGN: London-based purveyor of intelligent dance music Ryan L. West aka RIVAL CONSOLES returns with his sophomore album KID VELO, released track by track over the course of 11 weeks. Every Monday will see a new album track being streamed exclusively from just one online portal connected to one exclusive online store, before going global on Fridays. ‘With brains supposedly adapting to online networks and attention spans reduced to 140 characters at a time, this is bite-sized music for a bite-sized world.’ – Robert Raths, founder of Erased Tapes Records The campaign kicked off on April 11 and will cumulate in the official album release on June 27, 2011. The album launch will be celebrated with a London show on June 23 at The Nest in Dalston w/Frog Pocket + Deadfader Ticket Link: http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=444497&interface WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR: TRACK 1: KID VELO – EXCLUSIVE STREAM via Drowned In Sound on April 11: http://drownedinsound.com/news/4142427-listen--rival-consoles-kid-velo 'There are a few labels which you can just trust. Erased Tapes is possibly one of them. One of their lot in Rival Consoles is doing something relatively novel and streaming a new track from his forthcoming record Kid Velo in various places across the internet over the next 11 weeks. We've got the VERY FIRST track and it's actually really, really good' – Drowned In Sound TRACK 2: INTO THE HEART I – EXCLUSIVE STREAM via The Line Of Best Fit on April 18: http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2011/04/premiere-rival-consoles-into-the-heart-song-of-the-day-237 'Rival Consoles is the geekiest band name of all time. It is lucky, then, that the music is so consistently entertaining. His second album, Kid Velo, is being released one track at a time over the course of 11 weeks, courtesy of TLOBF favourites Erased Tapes. We are very happy to have ‘Into The Heart’, the second track from that record, as today’s exclusive Song Of The Day' – The Line Of Best Fit Exuberant electro burner' – Boomkat TRACK 3: S.P.K.R.S – EXCLUSIVE STREAM via The 405 on April 26: http://thefourohfive.com/articles/6152 'It's bloody HUGE. Can you imagine hearing this at full blast? It's so intense it would probably blow your eyebrows off' – The 405 ABOUT TRACK 4: AMIGA Influenced by 80s/90s computer music, AMIGA, the forth track on Rival Consoles’ upcoming new album Kid Velo, sends the listener on an emotional journey through the history of video games. It starts off cold and unforgiving, but over time becomes reflective and warm, climaxing in a euphoric miniature symphony. West explains: 'Even though the sounds that have been used are entirely synthetic, like a lot of computer game music, they can create moments of human emotion – moments of hope. I really love it when electronic music can do this to you, such as in Aphex Twin's 'Alberto Balsam', which kills me every time.' What press had to say about Rival Consoles’ debut album IO: 'West’s Rival Consoles project revives the schism between the commercial house music of suburban hell-holes and the perverted beats of electronica’s golden boys. A massive slice of jagged grandiosity... 'IO' is a party record even snobs can enjoy.' (7/10) – NME 'A new sulphuric wave is about to wash over our dancing forms and reduce us to boogieing bones - and Ryan West, aka Rival Consoles - is riding it on an acid-proof surfboard… leading the crusade against tired welterweight club rhythms' – DJ MAG Fantastic Four Feature 'If you miss the Aphex Twin who wrote songs that lit up warehouse raves at 3 a.m. but still tied your brain into knots, do yourself a favor and check out Rival Consoles. West is a nascent IDM hero on IO' (9/10) – XLR8R 'Writhes in a field of its own, twitching and buzzing like little else... One of the best releases of its kind this year' – CLASH ‘I just got into this guy. The album's great. It turns from electronica into a real kinda disco groove. Superb’ – James Chapman, MAPS 'Rival Consoles finally comes in full album length and satisfies all along the line. His tracks appear to be little short of celestial, are catchy and contain several grandiose melodies' (5/6) – RAVELINE ‘Ibiza yesterday, Berlin today, Miami tomorrow. You don't need to get on a plane to explore the international club-scape: putting on IO by Rival Consoles will do' (4/5) – MUSIKEXPRESS
