Rumour Cubes announce a UK tour, and want their fans to choose where they play. Using image-tagging tool thinglink, they have created a map of 15 cities which they would like to visit during their tour. Each feather links to a facebook event for that city, and they will play the seven cities with the largest number of votes. Fans have until the end of May to register their interest and push their chosen city up the list.
Meanwhile, hot on the heels of the release of their debut album, The Narrow State, the band have returned to Cafe Music Studios to record two new tracks featuring poet Steve Willey. The songs will be released on 12th June and marked with a headline launch show at London's Cafe 1001.
Rumour Cubes are a six piece instrumental band that fuse violin & viola, guitars, electronics and visual media into extraordinary cinematic soundscapes. Working with poets and film makers and writing custom music software to sync videos to their live performances, the band construct a multimedia experience where dense ambient textures and intricate rhythms underlie beautiful melodies highlighted by violin and viola. Debut album, The Narrow State, was recorded at Cafe Music Studios in east London (Orbital, Brian Eno, King Creosote) and produced by Mark Sutherland & Cherif Hashizume and features the work of poet Steve Willey.
Rumour Cubes were formed in mid-2009 and are united by their shared love of pushing the boundaries of music and technology beyond the everyday. The Narrow State has been described as “…an accomplished debut effort from a potentially brilliant band.” (The 405) and praised as “...[packing] more inventiveness into 36 minutes than most bands of this ilk manage in an hour…an accomplished debut that displays their talent to its fullest extent” (The Blue Walrus). Sound Revolution said of the band “Rumour Cubes carry themselves with an essence of individuality that makes them all the more intriguing…six astounding songs that will coincide with you in a haze of resentment, melancholy and euphoria.”
In the past year they have received radio play from BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson and appeared alongside Three Trapped Tigers and Her Name Is Calla on Cheery Wave Collective and Sweeping The Nation compilations.
