Description
“Radiohead meets Philip Glass” – Si Begg

Layering manipulated guitars, bass, drums and electronics to create compelling, melodic instrumentals, the music of The Retail Sectors frequently threatens to spiral out of control, holding the listener rapt. From the pounding euphoria of opener ‘The First Steps to End the Life’ to the elegiac ‘Beauty of the Depression’, the Foregone Conclusion Mini Album is inventive and utterly engaging instrumental rock.

blog post The Retail Sectors Single Released
Category: News
Posted: Nov 13, 2007 at 4:33 PM

Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the release of the single ‘The First Step to End the Life (Si Begg Remix)’ by Japanese artist The Retail Sectors.


The Si Begg remix of ‘The First Step to End the Life’ may be one of the catchiest, most danceabale yet musically rewarding tracks of the year. The collision of Si Beggs brilliant sense of rhythm and feel and The Retail Sectors sonic and melodic complexity make for a track that simultaneously engages the head and the body. This is My Bloody Valentine for the clubbing set. - Press Release Excerpt


The track is taken from the forthcoming Retail Sectors mini album, Foregone Conclusion to be released through Hidden Shoal Recording on the 4th of December, 2007.


The track can be previewed in full and purchased here.
