Your chicks for free
21.07.10
The latest signing to Flying Nun Records, Die! Die! Die! have joined up with the re-born label to release their third album and our pick for the week, Form.
Produced and recorded by Nick Roughan (Skeptics), Form is Die! Die! Die! like 
you have never heard. It is the album they always wanted to write, and the one you knew they would.
It calls upon all the parts, plus more, that make this band so exciting but never allows you to stop and put your finger on one.
Remember the first time you saw a band that blew your mind right open?
Die! Die! Die! will do that.
The Arch Hill Free Range are a series of FREE album releases.
"They are albums we think are good and deserve to be heard - but they are free!
At Arch Hill we have always believed that a lot of really good music is small scale and specialist. You won't hear it on commercial radio, see it on the TV or on the charts. Sometimes it is even hard to find on the interweb.
But, that doesn't mean it's not good. It's just that it doesn't have mass mainstream appeal or a big marketing plan behind it - that's all.
We like these artists and want them to be heard. But these days it isn't viable to spend a whole bunch of money releasing the album on CD, marketing it and so on. So, rather than do nothing and see this good music disappear without getting heard as it should be, we've launched the Arch Hill Free Range.
The Arch Hill Free Range is (approximately) one bi-monthly album 100% FREE, available from the Arch Hill Recordings website. (Please note - not everything we do or release will be free!...we're not stopping you from buying other stuff!)"
The first album up for grabbing is the wonderful Haints Of Dean Hall album Sleeper if you like gentle but unusual haunting music - then this is for you. Head over to arch hill to pick up your copy http://www.archhill.co.nz/FREE-Downloads/
