Neon Indian

Friday, July 31, 2009

Neon Indian! Doesn’t the phrase simply conjure up magical images of happy native Americans trading the land that was their birthright for expanded gambling rights? No? Just me then? Right you are. Who Neon Indian are, then, is an as yet unidentified duo from Austin/Brooklyn (although apparently the Austin connection is Alan Palomo from Vega/Ghosthustler) [...]

Yuksek Australian Tour

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Following on from his rather large Splendour in the Grass campaign, (youtube “Yuksek Splendour” and you’ll know what I mean) Yuksek is bringing his batshit mental electro stylings to ol’ Melbourne town this Sunday the 2nd of August.

Set to be released on the 31st August by XL, Kiss of Life is the perfect teaser for their Paul Epworth-produced sophomore album, which [...]

Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars

Bang with Mom and Dad

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

‘Mom’ annoys me. Conjures images of hotdog laden, whining young ‘patriots’ at baseball games, extras from Sesame Street and diabetic Hispanic half-brothers from your dad’s third marriage.
Mom and Dad, on the other hand, are splendid. ‘Mom and Dad’s’ remix. Genius.
Love the original, love this remix. It totally bangs. Much like your mum and dad do [...]

Visitor – Los Feeling

Monday, July 20, 2009

Formerly Cobra Dukes, then formerly What She Wants, UK’s Visitor are giving us the first glimpse of their brand new Diamond Cut-produced material with the cosmically-charged Los Feeling. It’s a terribly pretty, stirring voyage into the realm of shimmery stadium pop, and it’s of course had the labels scratching feverishly at their door for more. [...]
