Art of Dead

Austin’s art-rock punk …And You Will Know Us by the Trail Of Dead return with their 11th album – XI: Bleed Here Now – set for release on June 10th, 2022 via Century Media in Europe and Dine Alone Records in North America.

Five years on from the release of their previous record, Austin's beloved art-rock heroes .And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead return with their tenth album - X: The Godless Void and Other Stories. Expansive yet concise, this album nods to the band's traditional touchstones - the feral scree of Sonic Youth, Rush's symphonic anthems, the textured bliss of My Bloody Valentine - while morphing effortlessly into newer forms. The synth-orchestral swell of curtain-raiser "Opening Crescendoes" recalls Hans Zimmer and Tangerine Dream, before "All Who Wander" descends from guitar-soaked high drama into simmering, murky psych.

Series in which art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon tells the incredible story of Russian art - its mystery and magnificence - and until now a story untold on British television.

The arresting sight of Sister Wendy Beckett, all teeth and glasses, burst on to our screens in the 1990s. An instant star, she travelled the world in her habit telling us the story of Christian art and painting but revealing little of her own extraordinary story. Arena goes in search of the 'real' Wendy, who, at 82, talks frankly, humorously, and profoundly about her life and spirituality for the first time.
