Without losing a hint of his analogue aesthetic, where sound flows endlessly, Lumpen Nobleman returns with a release that travels far, far away, to galaxies inhabited by mutant radiophonic workshops and colonised by industrial forces that know better than us; where electronic music is just a ritual, and collision and seduction are the same thing. Celestial rhythmic Fluxus of the highest divinity, or earnest, earthbound power electronics; who knows? What we really can assert, though, is that something ominous and bloody physical is about to happen. – José Luis Villalobos (Electrónica en Abril, Madrid)
A Magnificent Stone Near Nazarovo will be released by Extra Normal Records on 27 May 2013 in a cassette edition and Norman Records will be taking pre-orders shortly.
Extra Normal Records will begin a monthly DJ residency at Mono in Glasgow on Friday 10 May.
From 21 June onwards, the night will run on the third Friday of every month.
A CDR edition of 75 of Lumpen Nobleman's Burns in the Expanded Field mix was produced on the occasion of a Burns Supper hosted by Jacqueline Donachie and Lucy Byatt at Hospitalfield, Arbroath.
Extra Normal Records is excited to announce that Lumpen Nobleman will perform at La Casa Encendida, Madrid, on Sunday 22nd July as part of a series of events spanning July, August and September 2012.
The programme of concerts will include contributions from Sonic Youth co-founder, Kim Gordon, in collaboration with DNA no wave pioneer, Ikue Mori; avant minimalist, Eyvind Kang, alongside vocalist, Jessika Kenney; and hypnotic jazz experimentalists, The Necks.
We're delighted to be contributing a guest mix to Jonny Mugwump's Exotic Pylon radio show.

Have a listen to the Exotic Pylon Radio Archive and we're sure you'll agree that this is the most forward-, backward- and sideways-thinking transmission on the airwaves. ________________________________________________________________________

To read their earlier report on the making of the Grusha LP, click here.
Scaling the Yablonois by Lumpen Noblemen (a.k.a. Lumpen Nobleman) set the ball rolling for London's deXter Bentley Hello GoodBye Show on Resonance FM on Saturday 10th September. To listen, click here.
It's probably not the first time this has been said but Hello GoodBye seems to be picking up where the great John Peel left off, with an emphasis on vibrant live studio sessions. More info here.
Lumpen Nobleman's Grusha, just one piece of wax in the five-figure record collection of David Barbarossa, got an airing on the first episode of the Glasgow disco legend's Wild Combination radio show. To listen, click here.
