My Education, The Angelus

Since forming in 1999, the membership of My Education has expanded and contracted while their sonic landscapes have grown with each release - 5 full length albums, several singles, compilation appearances, and a 12" vinyl collaboration with avant-hip hop duo Dalek. Recordings have been remixed by members of bands Kinski, Pelican, the Red Sparrowes and Dalek. Albums include 5 Popes, Italian, Moody Dipper, Bad Vibrations and the latest - Sunrise - out on Strange Attractors Audio House in the USA & Canada.

Sunrise, a new album of pieces from their original score for F.W. Murnau's 1927 silent masterpiece "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans", finds the band in peak form . Having perfected the material with live film performances over the last two years with sold out shows across the USA, My Education has captured 40 plus minutes of a soundtrack to the long dark night of the soul. Sunrise is an aural experience that is original and unique. This soundtrack finds parallels with the soundscapes Popol Vuh created for Werner Herzog's films. All told, this is their most diverse and mature release to date.

Several tours throughout the country have kept fans abuzz with My Education's unique blend of drones and tones. The music of My Education takes you on a journey of mischief & mayhem - from sunset to Sunrise.


Stirring hearts and unhinging jaws all over Texas with their flat out glorious hymnal rock epics The Angelus are as difficult to pin down as they are to forget. Led by the enigmatic vocal powerhouse Emil Rapstine, whose brooding tones and mesmerizing stage presence bring to mind any number of iconic front men from Morrissey to Nick Cave, The Angelus quietly summon up epic sounds that build like storm systems and burst into bone rattling sonic downpours, The Angelus often leave even the hardest hearted hipsters teary eyed and shaken.

The Angelus released the Josh T. Pearson produced full length record, "On A Dark & Barren Land" on Gutterth records in 2011.
The band previously released a self-titled EP on Pyramid-Scheme in late 2004.

The Angelus has had the fortune to share the stage with bands such as: The Angels of Light, Wovenhand, The Black Angels, Thee Silver Mount Zion, Akron Family, Calla, Celebration, Mono, Do Make Say Think, This Will Destroy You, Wooden Wand, School of Seven Bells and The Album Leaf.
