love cry

the new single from four tet is a nine-minute percussive-dance track with ghostly female vocals. the artork is inspired by the cyclical pattern of a 'rainbow' of downtempo electronic sounds. it looks like hebden is scheduling a release for the new four tet album, 'there is love in you', to be january 25th 2010.

the limited edition 12" single can be purchased here which features the b-side 'our bells', an interestingly beatless, ambient track.

bye bye bayou

the new single from lcd soundsystem gives a taste of what new material is sounding like. apparently while the band is recording their new album in an old mansion in LA, they are all wearing white clothing from top to toe at all times, an interesting idea.

i get a kick out of you

ella fitzgerald is undoubtedly one of the greatest female jazz singers of all time, and through her career she won an astonishing 13 grammy awards. this particular song i'm posting is ella doing a cover of 'i get a kick out of you', which has then been remixed by the cinematic orchestra (a british-based jazz and electronic outfit). the acoustic guitar fits perfectly with ella's purity of tone, and it really feels as if this track has been tastefully brought into the 21st century.

pre-order the cd or vinyl

wolf club / moth

below you'll find both tracks from the new burial & four tet 12". upon listening it appears it's likely to be more collaborative than a split ep, as both tracks feature signature burial beats/atmospherics, and four tet's organic sounding layers. if you like what you hear there are still copies available for purchase here.

truck festival '09

truck is a small, independent, quirky, not-for-profit festival located at a farm in the village of steventon, near abingdon, oxfordshire. truck is usually a place for smaller bands, and often an opportunity for the annual average of 5,000 festival-goers to discover new bands they havn't seen or heard of before. the festival prides itself on its family atmosphere and community ethics, and farm itself remains a working farm, shutting down only temporarily to allow the festival to take place. bands which have played at truck in previous years include british sea power, the futureheads, goldrush, biffy clyro, the magic numbers, the mystery jets, regina spektor, the young knives, the electric soft parade, laura marling, foals, metronomy, youth movies, and many many more.


the lineup for this year has not yet been released in its entirety, although several acts have been confirmed - local favourites supergrass will be headlining on sunday night, and ASH will be playing on saturday night. smaller bands playing this year will include the red light company and detroit social club. this year's festival takes place on the 25th and 26th of july and tickets are available to buy online at...

four tet/burial split release

with very few details to go on, word has it that a split 12" vinyl is being released by four tet and burial, named 'moth/wolf club'. according to bleep the LP, which is largely shrouded in mystery at the moment, is due for release on may 4th. there is no artwork, no sales notes, and no audio previews or promos; hopefully the music in this collaboration will do the talking. in the mean time, here's a track from burial's 2007 album 'untrue'.

anything but love

listening to songs you'd almost forgotten about is always nice. 'anything but love' featured on the libertines' 'legs 11' session. this particular session was recorded in 2000 and showcased the band's eight best tracks at that time. it has become one of the most popular of the band's many bootleg recordings probably due to the variety of instruments used, giving these demos a distinctive sound uncaptured in many other recordings.
