MEDIEVAL ANARCHY

WIGMORE TO DROP NEW ALBUM IN JUNE Kiwi expat GinWigmore is readying the release of her highly anticipated third LP, which is due in-store on June 29. Blood To Bone was recorded primarily in her home base of Los Angeles with various songwriters including Joakim Åhlund from Swedish band Caesars and producer Stuart Crichton, who has written for the likes of Delta Goodrem. The first single, New Rush , was co- written with Alt J producer Charlie Andrews.

As reported last month, Guy Pigden’s first full length feature I Survived A Zombie Holocaust is released this month simultaneously on DVD and at cinemas. And the filmmaker is already looking forward to the release of his next film Older , which he describes as a comedy drama about sex, love and relationships. “It’s actually a romantic drama so it’s very, very different!” Pigden told STAC K . “It’s more of a love story and we shot it using crowd-funding and some of our own money. I’m editing it at the moment but hopefully it will

But I also have another couple of genre films that we are looking at lining up to see if we can make sometime next year.”
