KSCOPE RELEASE THE RECEIVER'S 2015 DEBUT ON KSCOPE 'ALL BURN' AS A MID-PRICE CD
The synthphonic dream-prog brothers Casey and Jesse from Ohio, USA formed The Receiver in 2005 and were picked up after only a few live performances by New York-based Stunning Models On Display Records and released their debut album 'Decades' in 2006. Their sophomore album 'Length of Arms' followed in 2009 through Vital Music Records, before they joined the Kscope family in 2015 and released their third, 'All Burn'. They have been featured on MTV2's "Bands on The Rise" and have songs included on the FX Network's series "Dirt" as well as a number of independent shorts and films.
'All Burn', their self-produced third album, was mixed by Danny Kalb (Beck, Ben Harper, Karen O) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Sigur Ros, The Shins, The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys). Taking their musical influences from the likes of Mew, Blonde Redhead, Radiohead, Air and Pink Floyd the brothers boast their best material to date focusing on a dreamier aesthetic than their earlier work.
The band pride themselves on their use of a wide variety of instrumentation to create their signature sound utilising both analog and digital synths (Oberheim matrix 6, Korg MS2000, Omnisphere, Nord Electro), acoustic grand piano, bass guitar, drums/percussion and vocals. The first single / video promo track to be released from the album will be 'Transit'.
The Receiver are an incredibly active touring act having finished a 113-date tour in 2016 and soon heading on a new 5-week US tour starting in April 2017. They have previously shared the stage with notable artists such as St. Vincent, Midlake, The Album Leaf, Mono, Dawes, Royal Canoe, Maserati, Telefon Tel Aviv & Operators to name a few.
Kscope are re-releasing 'All Burn' as a mid-price CD presented in a digipak packaging complete with an 8-page booklet.
