So we wanted to do something a bit different for our debut album and getting 11 film makers to produce a video for each track seemed a great idea (thank you Liars ‘Drums Not Dead’). 

The entire album is now up to stream and buy HERE, and comes with a  special edition limited to 50 copies DVD/CD version featuring all the video’s and a DVD only track ‘Moon’ which stars a video game version of Bill Murray and Ellen Page saving the world from evil robots!

We did some filming over the weekend for a video that will make up one of 11 to accompany our forthcoming album Fanatical Love, the launch of which will be screened at Cardiff’s Chapter Arts Centre in November.

Despite running around Cardiff on the weekend of September 11th wearing some very dubious masks and fake moustache’s, we managed to avoid the attention of the authorities, here’s a little taster…

Lots to announce so here goes…

Our next release will be a double A side single featuring the tracks Shadows & Skin. Both tracks are taken from our forthcoming album Fanatical Love, recorded with former Test Icicles guitarist Rory Attwell (Male Bonding, Veronica Falls, Warm Brains, Fair Ohs).

The single will be released on the 5th September via Barely Regal Records as a download and super limited edition blue cassette tape.

The video for Shadows will be previewed at Chapter Arts Centre this coming Monday (1^st Aug) at the next Movie Maker night

We’re also thrilled to be working on an amazing project with the organisers of Chapter Movie Maker, details are as follows: 

KUTOSIS album launch: film makers wanted! 

Cardiff art-punk heroes KUTOSIS will be launching their long-awaited debut album Fanatical Love this November. 

To celebrate, the band will be hosting an album launch night in conjunction with Chapter Moviemaker, and the band want to harness the creativity of Welsh film-makers to provide a video for each song on the album.

The launch campaign will culminate with a visual album playback at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, home of independent film in Wales.

If you would like to get involved and make a video, this is what you need to do:

1.     Have a listen to the sneak preview clips posted below

2.     Email kutosis@yahoo.co.uk with ‘Fanatical Love’ as the subject, with:

a.     Your choice of song; and

b.     A link to something you’ve made before that you’re proud of - could be a music video, narrative film, etc.

The deadline to apply is 14^th August.  

Selected film-makers will be notified on 17^th August. If you are selected, you will be sent the song in full along with further details and lyrics. 

Videos must be completed by 17^th September.

The videos will be showcased on the launch night at Chapter, gaining both local and national exposure for the band and filmmakers. After the launch, the videos will be uploaded to KUTOSIS’s YouTube Channel and there are also plans to release a limited DVD version of the album.
