Tru Thoughts 12th Birthday Party at Koko
We’ve been writing about Tru Thoughts Records since the very beginning of Meme Magazine (in fact it was Tru Thoughts and Ubiquity Records in the US that were the main inspirations for starting this whole damned thing). We made a big noise about TT’s tenth anniversary and, at the time, wished the label continued longevity and [...]
Hidden Orchestra – Antiphon (Video and Free Download)
With a new EP, ‘Flight‘, out soon on Tru Thoughts Records, here is a chance to watch a new video of one of the tracks, ‘Antiphon’, from their masterful debut LP, ‘Night Walks‘.

Hidden Orchestra – Flight EP (Tru Thoughts)

So, make yourself comfortable and get to [...]

The initial single release, which we shared with you here, had us very excited that the album release would be another TT classic. But, the big challenge for long-playing records from largely instrumental jazz-influenced [...]
Hidden Orchestra – Footsteps (Tru Thoughts)
Tru Thoughts seem to have done it again – their latest signing is Hidden Orchestra, a Scottish band led by Joe Acheson, and, by all acounts, this is going to be a outstanding album (‘Night Walks’ is out on September 20th). Your first taste of the band is one of the very few tracks from [...]
