SCREAMING TARTS PRESENTS Die So Fluid + PseudoNympho + The Idol Dead.

Wednesday April 30th 2014. The Duchess, York.

Die So Fluid are the modern incarnation of a 'power trio'. Their sonic

identity possesses the muscle of metal, the angular cheekbones of

post-punk and the bittersweet heart of grunge.

It's all very well declaring you're a maverick, a loose canon, somehow

above and apart from the herd but a picture is worth a thousand words, and

though the cliche doesn't extend to it, a 16 track album is worth a

million words. The 'Opposites Of Light' is the fourth from Die So Fluid

and represents the moment they jump without a parachute. Right from the

band's inception they always fit a bit awkwardly with their peers, who

were more inclined to adhere to the restrictions of whatever pigeon hole

we were all being stuffed into that week. But being the weird looking

stepchild of the British Nu Metal scene was a lifetime ago and with each

recording Die So Fluid have flaunted their individuality and found an

audience that prize difference above familiarity.

'The Opposites Of Light' began as a working title the band chose for the

new record because the material was going to be dark and heavy. As the

writing progressed the record started to live up to it's own name and so

became concrete. 8 songs featuring some of the heaviest playing the band

has recorded and 8 songs going into dark and introspective depths only

hinted at before. Egyptian violin virtuoso Samy Bishai returns to provide

strings on several of the recordings and he is joined by Ivan Hussey on

cello. The band entirely self produced the record to maximise the time

spent on performances and sounds and after extensive tracking Mark

Williams returned to mix. Also featured will be a mix by long time

supporter and renowned producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, System Of A Down,

Johnny Cash...), of upcoming lead track 'Comets'. The result is the most

complete Die So Fluid record yet with a flair for post punk

experimentation and yet on the other hand showing off the band's ability

to craft traditional and timeless songs.

The album will be promoted by a UK tour, calling at The Duchess in York on

Wednesday April 30th.
