JAPANDROIDS // NEW MUSIC

New music out from our favourite good time garage rockers JAPANDROIDS. The House That Heaven Built follows on in a similar vein from 2009s excellent Post Nothing but we arent complaing. If it aint broke right? The song is taken from the new album Celebration Rock which is out this June and also includes last years epic Younger Us. If you havent seen the duo live yet too we suggest you remedy that asap (Soup Kitchen, Manchester in May yo!) as that's really where their noisy but melodic teenage anthems really come into their own.

AND we even spent the time soupin up this player so its all ROCKY VSVP GOTH CHIC for you too. 

We spoilin...TRILL!

LIGHT ASYLUM // NEW MUSIC

We've been waiting for ages to hear new stuff from one of our favourite bands from last year, Light Asylum (you need to search out Shallow Tears and A Certain Person if you aint already heard) and now we is bare happy to see that the Brooklyn synth duo are dropping their debut album on 1 May via Mexican Summer. In the meantime though they've just released new track IPC to get us in the mood, which ya can DL in that weird widget thing below.....and hoping there'll be some UK dates coming up soon yes? Please...

NO WAVE AT THE MOVIES

Can't wait to see this new film BLANK CITY....long-lost super-8 footage of the likes of Blondie, Patti Smith and Basquiat, as well as talking heads from Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore, Steve Buscemi and Lydia Lunch, the story of New York in its lawless, chaotic heyday is on display through the work of John Waters, Vivienne Dick and many more.

EXPRESS YOURSELFS

Looks like Diplo is fast on his way to redemption after t h a t body-popping BB ad a while back with this, his own take on New Orleans bounce. Express Yourself comes from ya man's forthcoming Mad Decent EP and interestingly the video was directed and styled by #Seapunk's own @LILINTERNET and @LILGOVERNMENT (yes yes we've read the NY Times and Vice pieces on Seapunk, we know....anyway its all about #SLIMEPUNK now yes?) Anyway check this vid ya'll. C'est cray cray cher! (and a bit NSFW....only a bit mind)

MAXIMUM HEALTH

So we're pretty stoked to hear that we'll be getting not 1 but 2 albums from one of our favourite bands, HEALTH this year. First up will be the soundtrack to new uber-violent game MAX PAYNE 3...which the band say has a particular Brazilian vibe to fit in with the game setting (and we're thinking HEALTH + RIO CARNIVAL = very exciting shiz, no doubt) You can catch a bit of the game plus score below..and if this wasnt enough we've also got the follow up to 2009's GET COLOUR on its way too...as Jake from the band recently stated: 'We've been sitting on these songs for a minute. We had to postpone everything to do Max Payne, but the cool thing about doing the soundtrack is that we were able to upgrade all our studio gear' Expect big things...

REMIX(X)

This new Beat Culture remix of this old(ish) song just dropped this weekend and we're loving it. Making us quite excited about the new The XX album. Definitely worth a check out:

STAY GOLD

We'd been wondering if the ex-vocalist from STAY+ would be doing something else musically and it seems now our wonder has finally been answered...cos he has.....and we're pleased to say it was worth the wait. The new band (solo act?? studio project?? :S) is called MOSES GOLD and we're also pleased to say debut tune, Luvsick picks up perfectly from where the Christian AIDS stuff left off; with haunting Ian Curtis-esque vocals echoing out of a pulsing atmospheric track that slowly builds into a death disco stomper....more..

NITE JEWEL / ONE SECOND OF LOVE

LA's Nite Jewel has always been a strong favourite of ours, but in the past we've always felt a little short-changed, that her actual output has never truly lived up to the idea of her (see also NYCs Telepathe) but it seems now, with new album One Second of Love she's finally created that lo-fi electro masterpiece that she always threatened to. Secretly Canadian are releasing the album properly on 5 March but if you get over there quick they're also currently streaming the entire thing on their Soundcloud. Wonderful stuff...
