Atlas Sound – Walkabout

2009-07-20T11:20:00.004+01:00

Atlas Sound, the amazing star of such delightfully fuzzy projects as Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel, and (as alter-ego Brandon Cox) the band Deerhunter, has a new album on the way, and it's called Logos. Apparently, it's more of a "pop direction", as this MP3, Walkabout ft Panda Bear of Animal Collective, attests: http://static.4ad.com/audio/atlassound/walkabout.mp3

2009-07-16T09:39:00.004+01:00

Our bass-fixated brothers at FACT are throwing another party at the Lock Tavern, with Sinden, Untold and the beyond-awesome Hot City playing. A few more are under wraps/TBC, but you should go down anyway, because, you know, it's free and it'll be really good. Sunday August 16, Lock Tavern in Camden.

Young Turks party this Friday

2009-07-15T21:59:00.003+01:00

We like Young Turks and we like free parties. So this chance to catch some rather good young producers including Jamie from The xx doing their thing at the Lock Tavern this Friday gets a big fat 'recommended'.

How many Spaniards does it take to change a lightbulb?

I love how revealing the artwork for an album has become an integral part of an artist's digital promotion plan.

Micachu is very busy

2009-07-09T10:29:00.002+01:00

Mika Levi and her shapes will be working on music with the London Sinfonietta early next year. In the meantime, she's (jesus) playing every festival around (inc Field Day on the first of August), working on a song for Concrete and Glass, touring in October and releasing another single.

Amazing music documentary

2009-07-09T10:26:00.001+01:00

Can you imagine anyone making a film called Datarock saved my life?

Envelopes play rare London show + Secret Garden Festival

2009-07-08T17:34:00.003+01:00

One of our favourite Swedish bands, Envelopes, play a show at Barden's Boudoir on 25th July. If you haven't seen them before you should come, they're amazing, and they're probably going to play some new stuff. I can't wait. Oh, and before I forget...Good Shoes are DJing too...

Ohio shitgazers Times New Viking release second album, Born Again Revisited, in September. If you were worried that the sound quality would be any less shoddy that that of debut, Rip It Off, fear not – the album was delivered from VHS tapes.

Here's a link to an MP3, No Time No Hope. Artwork below.

Monthly Big Pink Round Up

2009-07-06T10:32:00.002+01:00

The Big Pink, easily the best Badseed-free band we saw at Glastonbury, have announced tour and release dates.

Exxxcellent single Dominoes will be out in September, followed very quickly by an album called A Short History Of Love.

Robbie and Milo will be wrapping themselves in icy coils of dry ice like near future warlocks to promote these, check their myspace for dates.

A fairly daft video directed by Tim Saccenti is below.

The Fucking Champs

2009-07-03T15:15:00.002+01:00

One of our favourite nights returns to the Corsica Studios tomorrow night. It's called the International Amalgamation of Champions (part 17), and it features people like Zomby (whose Float is above), MJ Cole and Dummy fav So Bones, who did us a really good mix a bit ago.

It's like 1991 all over again...

Amazing Glastonbury pics!

A pal sent me this link today which helped blow away the post Glastonbury blues. They're the best Glastonbury photo's I think I've ever seen. Totally capture all aspects of the event. Check them here.

...Like Planet Earth itself

Blur's disco ball on the Pryamid Stage at the weekend reminded me of this amazing article from Frieze from a few months back, on the aesthetics of the disco ball.

Crystal Fighters, Filthy Dukes, We Have Band and the Phenomenal Handclap Band are playing a gig for War Child in a converted church in Notting Hill on the 15th. It looks fun!
