MOVING UNITS STREAM 'NEUROTIC EXOTIC'
IN IT'S ENTIRETY Stream and Share 'Neurotic Exotic Here Available September 10, 2013 on Metropolis Records
Tour Kicks off September 11 in San Francisco, CA "Rather than resisting change, the band seems to be fueled by it."
- Interview Magazine
Metropolis Records is pleased to give listeners and advance stream of, Neurotic Exotic, the critically acclaimed full-length from Moving Units. Hitting stores on September 10, 2013, Neurotic Exotic marks founder Blake Miller's return after exploring the world as a DJ and collaborating with a myriad of artists.Stream Neurotic Exotic here. The most difficult task for a scorching live band is replicating that energy in the studio. And on their third LP, Neurotic Exotic,Moving Units succeed with the same acrobatic agility, flamboyance, and dark erotic imagery they've channeled since their inception.
The tone is set from the title of the first song: Attack Everything. There is no time to hesitate and nothing is left behind. It is a 40-minute blitzkrieg of searing sexy guitar riffs, propulsive synthesizer riffs, and urgent drums fit to detonate any dance floor. Think a long-lost album of Italo-disco covers of Sonic Youth songs and you begin to get close. When you stop moving, there is something to hold onto. In essence: the attack never stops.
Neurotic Exotic finds Miller even more at home in the pocket. There's a balance of the warmth of classic house with the iciness of 80s European disco. Arpeggiated synths, vibrant drum samples and hallucinatory surrealistic vocals. But despite the rawness and serrated edge, there's a lush production value that you'd expect from a record made during the Me Decade-aided by Miller's close working relationship with producer, Cliff Magreta.
"I've never abandoned the concept that a live band can put on a really hot dance party," Miller says. "It's about conveying that energy and allowing people have a visceral and euphoric connection."

Peter Hook & The Light “Movement” and “Power, Corruption & Lies”
Peter Hook & The Light Kick Off “Movement” and “Power, Corruption & Lies” North American Tour on September 10th
Peter Hook To Sit In With The Roots on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon On September 12th
“Say what you will about Peter Hook, the man has got balls” - The Times
Beginning their “Movement” and “Power, Corruption & Lies” world tour following select, sold out UK dates in early 2013, Peter Hook & The Light are to begin their acclaimed performances of the first two New Order albums first to North American audiences with a string of dates in September 2013.
Since the original launch of the tour, further dates have been added in Ferndale, Michigan and Austin, Texas. The band will also appear at Riot Fest in Chicago where the band will perform a tour exclusive Joy Division set.
For fans in Chicago and those attending Riot Fest, it has just been announced that The Light will also perform both of the New Order albums at an after show the night of the festival at Double Door in the windy city on Sunday 15th September.
As with The Light’s previous shows, both of the seminal albums are to be performed in full, sequential order and will also include all of the singles and B-sides from New Order’s early period including the post Joy Division debut single “Ceremony” and “In A Lonely Place”, the raw, futuristic “Everything’s Gone Green” and the band’s two breakthrough hits which came between the two albums, “Temptation” and “Blue Monday”.
Looking to reproduce the albums and materially as faithfully as possible, on “Movement” The Light stay true to the techniques and tricks employed by Martin Hannett on the final album he was to produce for Hooky and co. “Movement’s reputation has grown stronger amongst fans since release for its experimentation showing the bridge between Joy Division’s and New Order’s material and Peter Hook took vocals on two of the album's key tracks, opener “Dreams Never End” and the seminal “Doubts Even Here”.
Widely critically praised, Rolling Stone termed “Power, Corruption & Lies” “a landmark album of danceable, post-punk music”, and the album contains many of the fans favourite LP tracks including the soulful, organic “Age Of Consent” and the sublime electronic ballad “Your Silent Face”, as well as the technologically advanced “586” and “The Village” while it ends with Hooky’s favourite ever New Order track “Leave Me Alone”.
“New Order could craft songs on two opposite ends of the mood spectrum, with almost equal adeptness. Power, Corruption & Lies was a huge leap forward for New Order, and remains one of the most affecting and influential alternative albums of its era.” Sputnik Music
