Factory Star "New Sacral" review on The Big Takeover website

There's a terrific review of Factory Star's new 10" mini-album which has just appeared on the website of The Big Takeover magazine - long-time Occultation supporters. This piece is by Joseph Kyle and can be read here.

Vital Weekly reviews of Factory Star and The Distractions

Another review, this time from the Netherlands and covering both Factory Star and The Distractions.

End Of The Pier/New Sacral orders now being taken

We're now taking orders for both Factory Star's New Sacral 10" mini-album and The Distractions' long-awaited second LP The End Of The Pier. Both come with CDs thrown in and these are in the usual special Occultation packaging, i.e. outer and inner sleeves (see pictures above). We hope to have the vinyl within the next couple of weeks. You can buy the records individually on the Occultation Shop's "Vinyl" page or you can buy both together on the Shop's "Packages" page, or else you can choose to buy either together with the group's previous Occultation releases, if you've missed them. 

Both vinyl versions are cut from the original high-resolution masters. We got the test pressings for "The End Of The Pier" yesterday; the album was recorded, mixed and mastered at 24/96 and sounds absolutely stunning on vinyl. We know a lot of people like to have a CD as well, for the car or elsewhere, which is why we decided to include them. More news will follow soon.

Below is another video, this time of Wise, side one, track two on The End Of The Pier. Our colleagues at Fishrider are currently working on a video for Weird World from New Sacral...
