With the release of his first solo musical project ‘Crazy Clown Time’ through Sunday Best Recordings on November 7th, David Lynch marks a departure from his revered and influential musical collaborations in the past with Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks), Polish pianist Marek Zebrowski (Inland Empire), and Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse (Dark Night of the Soul). […]
With their debut LP “Welcome to Condale” just around the corner, the duo Summer Camp are announcing the release of a brand new single, “Down”. While their album evokes a cinematic microverse of teenage lovers and loners, freaks and high school geeks in American suburbia, “Down”, appropriately enough, comes across as a cry of frustrated […]
Platinum selling British duo The Ting Tings are set to embark on a string of intimate shows with a creative difference as they team up with some of the best arts and music courses in the country as part of their ‘Show Me Yours’ UK tour. Renowned for their artistic edge the band are on […]
Symphonic pop band The Leisure Society have released a Bandstand Busking session on the eve of their support tour to Laura Marling’s UK Cathedral tour. Full details of all the dates are below. The Bandstand Busking session shows what people can expect from the current tour, which will be an acoustic set featuring band leader […]
‘Somewhere Over the M6’ is the first single from Benjamin Shaw’s forthcoming debut album ‘There’s Always Hope, There’s Always Cabernet’ – out November 21st. Born to soiled genes in ‘80s Blackpool and loathed in soiled scenes of 2011’s London, Benjamin Shaw was perhaps best described by one reviewer as “a ‘singer-songwriter’ who obviously isn’t happy […]
The Victorian English Gentlemens Club, who released their third album ‘Bag Of Meat’ via This Is Fake DIY Records in June this year, have just announced details of a Europe wide tour. The album, the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Love On An Oil Rig’, was recorded over Autumn/Winter 2010/11 in Cardiff, with producer Charlie Francis. The band […]
Givers released their debut album ‘In Light’ last Monday, via Glassnote/Island Records and to mark the release they’ve made available a remix of their current single ‘Meantime’, by Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier. Bombay Bicycle Club have also remixed the tune, which follows their debut single ‘Up Up Up’. Givers was formed by Taylor Guarisco (singer & […]
The Joy Formidable follow a summer of worldwide festival performances with a UK tour and a new release this month. ‘The Big More’ is a digital accompaniment to the band’s debut album and features exclusive new tracks and a remix alongside lead track ‘Cradle’. The EP contains a Fang Island remix of ‘Cradle’, a live […]
Herman Dune have announced the second single from their latest album Strange Moosic. The French duo of David-Ivar Herman Dune and Cosmic Néman follow their first single ‘Tell Me Something I don’t Know’ with ‘Be A Doll and Take My Heart’, an upbeat pop ditty fuelled by acoustic guitars, David-Ivar’s distinctive vocals and fun-filled “oohs”. David-Ivar […]
For their loosely Halloween-themed EP ‘Horror Tour’, Moon Duo veer away from the sun-drenched tone of their recent LP ‘Mazes’, and towards driving themes from an antique book of spells they discovered at a library sale in rural New Hampshire. Three of the four tracks are instrumental – the titular ‘Horror Tour’ is the exception […]
