Nine Doors, the debut album by Manchester’s revered post-rock improv guerillas Levenshulme Bicycle Orchestra will be released on Monday 22nd February.
Exclusively available via Concrete Moniker, the album will be issued as a limited edition CD with hand made artwork and also as a free/flexible price download.
This is a first look at the artwork designed by Bicycle Orchestra vocalist Zeke (who, fact fans, also does all the design for the Skull Disco label). More of Zeke’s work can be found here.
Maybe it’s something in the air, but we’re feeling generous. Our last release – Rodrigo Constanzo’s Jew Point Owe - was one of the slow-burning successes of 2009; an astounding work and ear-gratifyingly good.
The CD version of the album is packaged in a beautiful hand-made book complete with scores and illustrations, all lovingly and pain-stakingly put together by the artist himself. What’s more, there are only 40 copies in the world, ever!
Didn’t get round to grabbing your own? Moniker has a special offer for the last few copies available… Use the code RODSPRING2010 to gain a copy for only £8.50 including postage (UK) – a saving of more than 4 quid!
Rodrigo Constanzo releases his latest epic composition I Am Your Density, coming in after the fabulous and poignant Jew Point Owe and his collaboration with Pierre Alexandre Tremblay, Drum and Bass: And The Horse You Rode In On. It’s a loud, noisy and long and a little bit brilliant. Go download it now, and get Jew Point Owe if you haven’t already downloaded it.

Concrete Moniker is proud as punch to announce our largest and most exciting release yet - Rodrigo Constanzo’s Jew Point Owe. Rod is currently making waves in Manchester’s experimental scene, and this brand new album is a jaw-dropping testament to his innovative talents combined with an ear for truly beautiful music.
The album also breaks new ground for Moniker as our first ever hard-copy release – a strictly limited edition hardback book, each lovingly handmade by the artist containing scores and illustrations.
There are only 40 copies worldwide, exclusively available online via Concrete Moniker. If you want to get your hands on one you better move fast, these will never be available again once they’re sold out! Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
