Her Birthday
Tracklisting:
1. Her Birthday2. Electronic Renaissance
3. Radical (Infants Remix)
London-based trio Popular Workshop will release new single 'Her Birthday', taken from their Steve Albini-produced debut album, 'We're Alive And We're Not Alone' via This Is Fake DIY Records on 2nd February 2009.
The single, the third to be taken from the record following previous releases 'Reptilians' and 'PopSong', comes backed with a cover of Belle and Sebastian's 'Electronic Renaissance', and a remix of 'Radical' by Infants.
The band came together through a love of abrasive guitars and collapsing drums when pseudo-brothers Jake and Luke found Gypsy and forced him to "sing whilst playing the guitar". On record they create their own world of art-disco and discordant chaos inspired by and compared to a spazzed-out danced up Sonic Youth, Bloc Party, Shellac and Elastica.
Popular Workshop have played live with the likes of Los Campesinos!, Blood Red Shoes and Good Shoes to name but a few.
Popular Workshop are; Jake (drums), Luke (bass) Gypsy (guitar/vocals).

"Not since Cobain's 'Lithium' has such brilliant, self-depreciative paranoia been bellowed" - Clash
"If Popular Workshop doesn't know how to kick ass, I don't know who does" - Artrocker
