Ty Segall, das Wunderkind in Hamburg 04/11/2014 (Knust)

Hey Hamburg, Ty Segall is playing at Knust the 4th of November. We can easily say that he’s one of the most interesting artist of nowadays and you can trust us, seeing him live has been some of the best experiences we had so far.

His new album « Manipulator » (Drag City) is completely rad (again) so if you want to take part of the rock and roll history, you have to be there.

French awesome garage rockers J.C. Satàn will warm up this special night so it means a second good reason to come.

« Sei es solo, mit seiner offiziellen Band, als Teil der Epsilons oder Sic Alps, bei The Traditional Fools, mit White Fence und immer wieder mit Mikal Cronin - Mister "Hyperactive Rock’n'Roll Animal " Ty Segall findet einfach keine Ruhe, sein künstlerischer Output ist enorm. Allein seit 2011 war der Kalifornier an sage und schreibe 13 Veröffentlichungen mehr oder weniger beteiligt. Aktuell steht sein neues Soloalbum "Manipulator" kurz vor der Veröffentlichung und was man im Vorfeld so hört, wird es nach den spooky Akustiksongs auf dem Vorgänger "Sleeper" nun wieder schön laut und schrammelig in der 60s-Psycho-Garage zugehen. Und ganz sicher auch live! »


« San Francisco psych wunderkind Ty Segall continues a tireless musical assault on ears and minds. Over the past years he’s released records more often than most people do laundry, thrown himself in with the likes of Thee Oh Sees, White Fence and Mikal Cronin. 2012 saw two things of what TY does best: thick riffs on ‘Slaughtherhouse’ (In The Red) and deep psyche garage on his collab with White Fence ‘Hair’ (Drag City). Ty Segall grew up in the sunny surf of Orange Country California’s Laguna Beach where he spent his young days studying, surfing, and listing to the beach boys, the misfits, and black sabbath. Ty knew he had to get away from the sun in order to truly appreciate it, so he moved up north to the port of San Francisco and was amazed at how cold it was. Despite this fact, he found a new appreciation for psychadelic music and decided that he would give it a shot. Ty Played in the traditional fools, Party Fowl, The Epsilons, Sic Alps, and The Perverts. After meeting friend John Dwyer of Oh Sees fame, Ty was lucky enough to release a solo record on Dwyers Castle Face…the story began… »

x _ Holograms _ABC City

It has been a while now that Stockholm has been waiting and Holograms are finally here. Mike Sniper should not have hesitated to sign this young and fresh proto punk band on his label Captured Tracks. This is a great start for them as this collaboration could only result in good vibes. These young fellas are preparing their first LP which will be, according to their label, one of the big things of this year. We’re not doubtful to this forecast as ABC City is such a hymn. While waiting, you can get their first 7’’ with the brilliant B side Hidden Structure.



x_ Pow Wows _ Killing Me

We have some good news from Pow Wows , a new 7’’ Killing Me on Get Hip Recordings, and another good news: these guys are still great!



x_ The Limiñanas _ Tu es à moi (Come Now)

“No man is a prophet in his own country”, The Liminanas are a good example of the fact that the true rock and roll wealth from France is outrageously ignored. They come from Perpignan and play a pure garage rock with an obvious French charm. American labels such as Hozac and Trouble in Mind (between others) weren’t wrong in releasing their songs. It’s for the Record Store Day that Trouble In Mind released a brilliant “Cover Split” with Mikal Cronin, Paperheads, Apache Dropout and our frenchies who are, with all their elegance, covering « Come Now » from The Troggs…



x_ Radar Eyes _ I am

Radar Eyes are Shelley, Anthony, Lucas and Russ from Chicago. They released their first LP (which is amazing) on last February via Hozac Records and on the label webpage it says that they’re making « modern noise pop ». To be metaphorical, their music is a beachcomber smashing everything around and we love it.




x_ Blasted Canyons _ Holy Geometry

A new song and a hit from the Californians Blasted Canyons. They just released a new EP « 2nd Place », still with Castle Face Records. It is excellent and beautiful.



x_ Thulebasen _ Forever Grinning

These Scandinavian people… We have already talked about Copenhagen and Iceage, now let’s talk about Thulebasen. There is nothing to compare, musically speaking, but they crossed each other’s ways on the great Danish labels Escho and Tambourhinoceros. Their rock music is experimental and becomes completely addictive. They released their new EP Forever Grinning (available here on Tambourhinoceros), and it also contains a couple of remixes, one of them by our Swedish friends Hhappiness. To be continued…


x_ Moonbell _ Nothing Less

Moonbell Their 1st LP (S/T) was released on Loglady Records (from Twin Peaks of course…) and is a great discovery. We can dig into it and find an obvious connection to our heroes My Bloody Valentine and Ride (between others) but these Californians take up the torch with tremendous skills and a truly new edge while so many try, and fail, at this. Voices of Lisa Dawn Colvin (keyboards) and Garen Igleby (guitars) get tangled up while moving up to the 7th heaven, a melodic and powerful layer surrounded by the robotic and hypnotic drums from David Paslay.



x_ Permanent Collection _ It's Alright

Permanent Collection Moonbell (encore Loglady Records), they’re not making the same kind of music but they as well are from San Francisco. This was originally the solo project of Jason Hendardy with the first and bright EP 12’’ Delirium (2011). He then decided to form a band with Megan Dabkowski, Brenden Nerfa and Mike Stillman and this collaboration became fruitful as they soon will be releasing a new album « Newly Wed Nearly Dead » in which we find the fabulous song All Right. We’re looking forward to it !




x_ Hellshovel _ Summer's Over

Hell Shovel is Demon’s Claw’s Jeff Clark other band. After having toured everywhere in the world to play his joyful rock and roll, they’re real soon going to release their new LP « Hated By The Sun » on the wonderful label Slovenly Recording. The title of the song « Summer’s Over » is not really going along with the season but it shows perfectly how great the LP is. For all the parisian people, you’ll have to make place in your agenda for Hellshovel’s gig the 31th of May at La Mécanique Ondulatoire with War Toy Machine (via Inch Allah Records). Demon’s Claw are also playing at La Méca the 8th of May with Sic Alps. Busy schedule in may…


 
x_ Bazooka _ Monkey Town

Greeks and high powered garage, still thanks to Slovenly Recording (encore)(thanks for all of these releases guys !). Bazooka have the perfect name for their music and they just released an amazing EP, which also has a good title « I Want To Fuck All The Girls In My School » which is available on the label’s website. They’re soon playing in Paris, the 9th of May with Gay Anniversary still at La Mécanique Ondulatoire and still with Inch Allah Records.




x_ Actual Water _ Pencil-Legged

Actual Water is a great band from Toronto. Sharp guitars, innate melodies, we’ll meet all of these qualities on their albums and EPs. It’s kind of difficult to find some information about them so the best thing to do is to get their brilliant songs on their bandcamp here.
By the way, the last album is called The Paisley Orchard and is brilliant.



x _ Vermillion Sands _A Sweet Bitter Winter

Vermillion Sands are Italians. They have released plenty of things on several of the best labels around the world : Rijapov , Fat Possum, Sacred Bones, Alien Snatch !, Hell!yes , Trouble In Mind...
Today, they’re coming back on the excellent italian/portuguese Shit Music For Shit People who released the 7’’ Summer Melody. Here you’ll find 2 great songs that would have set perfectly with Billy Childish and his Headcoatees stuffs… Available here .
They’re currently preparing the release of their 2nd LP.




x _ Allah-Las _Sacred Sands

Allah-Las sounds as californian as we french imagine it: sun, sea, surf etc. This beautiful instrumental song is available on their new EP « Tell Me (What's On Your Mind) – EP » which was released a couple of weeks ago on the label Innovative Leisure. Here we can also find some of their great, older songs.



x _ Tonstartssbandht _Shot To La Parc

A weird name for a crazy music, it’s kind of like that with Tonstartssbandht. We discovered the two brothers Edwin Mathis and Andy White on the excellent mixtape Expressway and they recently released their first LP (Arbutus Records). For some extra information, they’re originally from Florida but they are now living between Montréal and Brooklyn. They will play the 18th of may at L’Espace B !



x _ Lotus Plaza _Strangers

Lockett Pundt is Lotus Plaza but is also known as Deerhunter’s guitarist and singer along with Bradford Cox (who took the picture above). The numerous and excellent projects of M. Cox could have outshone his bandmate but if you dig a little bit you can understand the importance and influence of each one in the american quartet. This can be experienced in Lotus Plaza’s magnificent album « Spooky Action At A Distance »(Kranky). His 1st one « The Floodlight Collective » was already amazing and we hope that he’ll soon come and play in France.



x _ The Fresh & Onlys _Do What I Came To Do

Tim Cohen’s Team is back with a new song which is devilishly good. Apparently it won’t be on the next record but it’s from their recent recording sessions. You can also notice that Fresh & Onlys’ , guitarist, Wymond Miles, released a couple of weeks ago a very nice EP, Earth Has Doors on Sacred Bones Records and he is preparing his first LP. A lot of things are going on in San Francisco. Anyway, it would be nice if Fresh & Onlys would come and play here soon, come on Tim !



x _ Ty Segall & White Fence _I Am Not A Game

At last, they did it !, Ty Segall and Tim Presley (White Fence) teamed up for their new album ! What else can you ask for… It’s called « Hair » ( Dragcity) and it’s a sick psychedelic punk joint on which they perfectly complete each other. I’m not a game sets the bar high and you can check it out live here.
This year only, Ty is to release 3 albums, one by himself, one with his band (Emily Epstein, Charlie Mootheart and Mikal Cronin) and so, one with White Fence. Same game for Tim Presley with his two volumes Family Perfume (one which has already been released and the other which is announced for the 15th of May thanks to Woodsist). 5 albums in total for the two of them in 2012 and all at the same quality, hats off to you gentlemen ! I tried to count their whole production but it’s obscene (40 for Ty alone !). Those guys are profoundly marking our generation. Now we can only hope that they’ll tour together around here, as they do at home.



x _ Mikal Cronin _Situation (Violitionist Sessions)

We don’t have to introduce Mikal Cronin. He is currently touring with his band, with Ty Segall in charge of the guitar, and with Ty Segall’s own band , where he’s responsible for the bass. Apparently, Mikal would come by France in June while Ty is announced for July. For now, there is no clear information and they are NOT announced for any show together except for a little festival in Brittany in august. Dear festival managers, you can’t miss these guys! It’s musical discrimination when considering the sad lineups of some festivals.
Situation is extracted from the first Mikal Cronin’s album S/T, from Trouble In Mind Records and an acoustic version has been recorded for the Violitionist Sessions. You can watch it here and also some other songs.



x _ Second H. Sam _Mama Was Right

Another nice release at Shit Music For Shit People, Second H.Sam is the solo project of Samuele Gottardello who seems to be Italian. His first eponym EP is taking us into a lo-fi fresh and touching blues. It makes us think of a kind of modern Johnny Cash. Thank you Shit Music For Shit People and you can get this new EP right here.

x _ Holograms _ABC City

Ça faisait quelque temps que Stockholm attendait ça et les Holograms sont arrivés. Jeune groupe proto punk brut de décoffrage, Mike Sniper n’a pas du hésiter longtemps avant de les signer sur son label Captured Tracks. C’est un très beau départ pour les suédois car il ne peut que ressortir quelque chose de bon de cette collaboration. Ils préparent la sortie d’un album qui selon le label américain, sera l’une des révélations de cette année. On ne peut que les croire et être impatient tant ABC City est un hymne. En attendant, vous pouvez vous procurer le 7’’ de ABC City avec en face b Hidden Structure qui est tout aussi jouissive.



x_ Pow Wows _ Killing Me

Des bonnes nouvelles pour les Pow Wows qu’on suit depuis un moment déjà. Un nouvel 7’’Killing Me chez Get Hip Recordings, toujours aussi bons les mecs !



x_ The Limiñanas _ Tu es à moi (Come Now)

« Nul n’est prophète en son pays », The Liminanas en est un bel exemple, celui de la richesse de notre patrimoine rock and roll, souvent scandaleusement ignoré. Ils viennent de Perpignan, font un garage rock dans la plus pure tradition, le charme français en plus. Des labels américains tels que Hozac et Trouble in Mind entre autres, ne s’y sont pas trompés en sortant leurs chansons. C’est à l’occasion du Record Store Day que Trouble In Mind a proposé un excellent « Cover Split » avec Mikal Cronin, Paperheads, Apache Dropout et nos frenchy qui reprennent avec toute leur élégance « Come Now » des Troggs…



x_ Radar Eyes _ I am

Radar Eyes est composé de Shelley, Anthony, Lucas et Russ et ils viennent de Chicago. Ils ont sorti leur 1er LP (qui est une tuerie) il y a quelques temps chez Hozac Records et sur la page du label on peut lire « modern noise pop » pour essayer de qualifier leur musique. Pour faire une métaphore, celle-ci est une déferlante emportant tout sur son passage et leur album se boit comme du petit lait.




x_ Blasted Canyons _ Holy Geometry

Un nouveau titre et un hit pour les californiens ! Ils viennent de sortir un nouvel EP 2nd Place, à se procurer de toute urgence et toujours chez Castle Face Records. En plus d’être bien il est joli.



x_ Thulebasen _ Forever Grinning

Ah, ces scandinaves… On avait évoqué Copenhague pour Iceage, passons à Thulebasen. Rien à voir musicalement, mais ils se sont croisés sur les très bons labels danois Escho et Tambourhinoceros. Leur rock expérimente et devient addictif très rapidement. Leur nouvel EP Forever Grinning (dispo ici via Tambourhinoceros), contient également plein de remix dont un de nos amis suédois Hhappiness. A suivre…


x_ Moonbell _ Nothing Less

Moonbell est un trio de San Francisco. Leur 1er LP éponyme est sorti chez Loglady Records (Twin Peaks tout ça…) et est une superbe découverte. On retrouve une filiation certaine avec nos héros My Bloody Valentine et Ride (entre autres) mais les californien reprennent le flambeau avec une formidable maitrise et une modernité certaine alors que beaucoup essaient sans y parvenir… Les voix de Lisa Dawn Colvin (claviers) et Garen Ingleby (guitares) s’entremêlent tout en faisant monter au 7e ciel des nappes mélodiques puissantes sur les rythmes robotiques et hypnotiques du batteur David Paslay.



x_ Permanent Collection _ It's Alright

Permanent Collection est copain de label avec Moonbell (encore Loglady Records), ils ne font pas la même musique mais ils viennent aussi de San Francisco. C’était au départ le projet solo de Jason Hendardy avec un premier EP 12’’ Delirium très prometteur sorti en 2011. Il a ensuite décidé de s’entourer de Megan Dabkowski, Brenden Nerfa et Mike Stillman, collaboration qui s’avèrera fructueuse puisqu’il en résultera prochainement d’un album « Newly Wed Nearly Dead » dont est extrait cette petite tuerie qu’est All Right. On attend avec impatience de pouvoir écouter tout ça !




x_ Hellshovel _ Summer's Over

Hell Shovel c’est le groupe du Demon’s Claw, Jeff Clark. Après avoir bourlingué un peu partout dans le monde pour jouer leur joyeux rock and roll, ils vont bientôt sortir chez le génial label Slovenly Recording un nouvel LP intitulé Hated By The Sun. Le titre de la chanson Summer's Over n’est, pour ainsi dire, pas vraiment de saison mais il illustre parfaitement la qualité de l’album. A noter et à ne louper sous aucun pretexte qu’ils joueront le 31 mai prochain à la Mécanique Ondulatoire avec Warm Toy Machine, concert organisé par Inch Allah Records. D’ailleurs, Demon’s Claw joueront aussi à la méca, le 8 mai prochain avec Sic Alps. Ça en fait des concerts en mai…


 
x_ Bazooka _ Monkey Town

Des grecs et du garage ultra puissant chez Slovenly Recording (encore), qu’on ne remerciera jamais assez pour les pépites qu’ils sortent. Bazooka porte bien son nom et viennent de sortir un super EP, le bien nommé « I Want To Fuck All The Girls In My School » dispo sur le site du label et chez les bons disquaires. Ils passent aussi en concert le 9 mai prochain avec Gay Anniversary à la Mécanique Ondulatoire toujours avec Inch Allah Records.




x_ Actual Water _ Pencil-Legged

Actual Water est un super groupe de Toronto. Guitares incisives, sens inné de la mélodie que l’on retrouve sur tous leurs albums et EP. C’est compliqué de trouver des infos sur eux donc on se contente de leur morceaux disponibles gratuitement sur leur bandcamp ici.
Leur dernier album s’appelle The Paisley Orchard et est génial.



x _ Vermillion Sands _A Sweet Bitter Winter

Vermillion Sands viennent d’Italie, ils ont sortis plein de choses sur plein de très bon labels du monde entier comme Rijapov , Fat Possum, Sacred Bones, Alien Snatch !, Hell!yes , Trouble In Mind...
Aujourd’hui, ils nous reviennent chez les excellents italiens/portugais de Shit Music For Shit People qui ont sorti le 7’’Summer Melody contenant 2 petites perles dont A Sweet Bitter Winter que n’auraient pas renié Billy Childish et ses Headcoatees… Dispo ici.
Ils préparent actuellement leur 2nd LP.




x _ Allah-Las _Sacred Sands

Allah-Las sonnent comme la Californie dans notre imaginaire, du soleil, la mer, le surf et tout ce qui va avec. Cette magnifique ballade instrumentale est présente sur leur nouvel EP « Tell Me (What's On Your Mind) – EP » sorti très récemment chez Innovative Leisure où l’on retrouve également quelques une de leurs anciennes et très belles chansons.



x _ Tonstartssbandht _Shot To La Parc

Un nom bizarre pour une musique partant dans tous les sens, c’est un peu ça Tonstartssbandht. On avait découvert les 2 frères Edwin Mathis et Andy White sur l’excellente compilation Expressway et ils ont recemment sortie leur 1er LP chez Arbutus Records. Pour information, ils sont originaires de Floride mais vivent entre Montréal et Brooklyn. En concert le 18 mai prochain à l’Espace B !



x _ Lotus Plaza _Strangers

Lockett Pundt alias Lotus Plaza est avant tout connu pour être le guitariste de Deerhunter chez qui il partage le chant (et la guitare d’ailleurs) avec Bradford Cox (auteur de la photo ci-dessus). Les nombreux (et excellents) projets de celui-ci avaient pu, à tort, éclipser ses compagnons de groupe mais en creusant un peu, on se rend compte de l’importance et de l’influence de chacun au sein du quatuor américain. Cela se vérifie d’ailleurs pour Lockett Pundt et son magnifique 2e album « Spooky Action At A Distance » (Kranky). A noter qu’il avait déjà sorti un premier et très beau « The Floodlight Collective ». En espérant le voir bientôt en concert en France.



x _ The Fresh & Onlys _Do What I Came To Do

La bande à Tim Cohen est de retour avec une nouvelle chanson diablement bonne qui ne sera pas sur leur prochain album mais vient de leurs récentes sessions d’enregistrement. A noter également que le guitariste des Fresh & Onlys, Wymond Miles, a sorti il y a peu un très bel EP, Earth Has Doors chez Sacred Bones et prépare la sortie de son premier album. Il s’en passe des choses à San Francisco… En tout cas, ça serait bien qu’ils reviennent jouer par chez nous, allez Tim, ramène-toi !



x _ Ty Segall & White Fence _I Am Not A Game

Ça y est, ils l’ont fait, Ty Segall et Tim Presley (White Fence) pour un album commun, mais que demande le peuple ? Celui-ci s’appelle Hair (chez Dragcity) et est une tuerie psychédélique punk où les deux comparses se complètent parfaitement. I Am Not A Game met la barre encore très haut et ça peut se vérifier en live ici.
Pour cette année, Ty Segall a annoncé qu’il allait sortir 3 albums (on ne compte pas l’excellent split avec nos frenchy Feeling Of Love), un tout seul, un avec son groupe (Emily Epstein, Charlie Mootheart et Mikal Cronin) et un avec White Fence. Pareil pour ce dernier avec ses 2 volumes Family Perfume (l’un est déjà sorti et l’autre est prévu pour le 15/05 chez Woodsist). 5 albums à eux deux en 2012 sans jamais baisser le pied, c’est beau. J’ai essayé de compter le nombre d’album qu’ils ont sorti mais c’est indécent (au moins 40 pour Ty). Ces mecs auront marqué notre génération. Maintenant on ne peut qu’espérer qu’ils fassent une tournée commune par chez nous (comme ils le font déjà fait par chez eux).



x _ Mikal Cronin _Situation (Violitionist Sessions)

On ne va pas présenter encore une fois Mikal Cronin. Il tourne actuellement avec son groupe (avec Ty Segall à la guitare) et avec Ty Segall (là, Mikal reprend sa basse). Apparemment Mikal viendrait en Juin et Ty en Juillet en France. Pour l’instant ils ne sont annoncés (ensemble) que pour un tout petit festival breton au mois d’août... Messieurs les programmateurs, vous n’allez pas passer à côté des ces mecs quand même ? C’est de la discrimination musicale tant on voit la tristesse de certains festivals !
Situation est issue du 1er album S/T de Mikal Cronin, sorti chez Trouble In Mind Records et cette version « acoustique » a été enregistrée pour les Violitionist Sessions et on peut même la regarder ici.



x _ Second H. Sam _Mama Was Right

Une autre très belle sortie chez Shit Music For Shit People, Second H.Sam est le projet solo Samuele Gottardello qui doit être italien. Son 1er EP éponyme nous ballade dans un bric à brac lo-fi blues très touchant et frais. On pense à un genre de Johnny Cash moderne. Merci Shit Music For Shit People et vous pouvez vous procurer l’EP ici.

French version here.



x_Iceage_New Brigade

Fresh wind from Denmark: some punk and speed and a first record called New Brigade on the label Escho. Iceage leads us on a crazy trip to a shady Copenhagen by spitting their rage on us. Now, the Danish city can claim its place on the rock and roll map thanks to its new rascals. They're playing at Pitchfork Music Festival at La Villette the 10/28/2011.




x_Blasted Canyons_Ice Cream Man

Blasted Canyons are resident of John Dwyer’s (Thee Oh Sees) label: Castle Face Records and they’re rad! They describe themselves as some “drag race music for mutants” and that’s actually a perfect résumé. Matt Jones, Heather Fedewa and Adam Finken are from San Francisco / Oakland and released their 1st album S/T some months ago. Go and check it out!



x_Jacuzzi Boys_Cool Vapors

Miami Boys released a brilliant new record, « Glazin » via Hardly Art. They’re still as cool and we’ll never get bored of them!




x_Mikal Cronin_Apathy

We have been following Mikal Cronin since sometimes now but today he’s hitting the sky! We already met him (between others) with Ty Segall and also with one of his band “Moonheart” which had a 1st killing album (cf Wol 7 Selection). Now, big time, he’s releasing on the 20th of September his first solo album through the brilliant label Trouble In Mind Records. It was recorded with Ty and with some collaborations like John Dwyer (for some flute solo) and there we can find some “Californian flavored” crazy and high level rock and roll and pop songs.
We can already say that this will be one of the best album of the year. It’s a MASSACRE!
Now, we’re looking forward M. Cronin to come to play in Paris. A common tour with Ty Segall could be crazy…





x_Lil Daggers_ Slave Exchange

A new great contribution to the rock scene. The Daggers released in August 2011 an excellent 1st record via Limited Fanfare Records. Dragged out in a devilish and psychedelic atmosphere, these 5 guys from Miami definitely keep up our first hope.




x_Apache Dropout_Shot Down

Amongst Trouble In Mind releases, Apache Dropout shot us in the heart with an epic journey in the Wild West… These guys are crazy!




x_Xray Eyeballs_Drums Not Dead

Xray Eyeballs is Carly (who’s playing with great Golden Triangle), O.J. , Rop and Sarah. They have released a lot of things with labels as Kanine, Hardly Art, HoZac, Night People and Party Store. Their new album “Not Nothing” prove to us that Brooklyn is still there!




x_Fungi Girls_Lucie

It’s always a pleasure to meet with Fungi Girls from Texas. Still at Hozac Records, they have released a little garage treasure in last july called « Some Easy Magic » and the Lucie song is introducing it perfectly.




x_Gross Magic_ Sweetest Touch

New comers from Brighton are surprising us with their fuzzy Britpop. Sam McGarrigle and his lads put England back in the good place for the rock and roll race with a first Teen Jamz EP released 08/08/2011. They’ll for sure play in Paris soon …




x_Innergaze_Shadow Disco

Still in Brooklyn where Aurora H. & J. Letkiewicz, originally from Maryland, hypnotize us with bass beats and dazzling noise. Some previous releases on the great label 100% SILK.




x_Greatest Hits_Girls On The Beach

Tyler and Zak are still prolific even when they are in Paris. After a crazy EP on Maman Records, they’re currently recording their 1st album that we’re really looking forward to listen to.
These guys are genius, they’re recycling and creating all possible sounds to launch some sick bombs which do make our asses move.
Here is their exclusive and brilliant new track Girls On The Beach!
Before going back to USA, our favorite buddies will be playing the 2nd of September at La Flèche d’Or which is impossible to miss (the great band Shimmering Star is also playing this night)! Who wants more?





x_Tunnels_Volt 1979

Tunnels is a lonely guy who is doing kind of kraut pop which is totally addictive. There are plenty of previous releases on Thrill Jockey, Sweating Tapes and a record called The Blackout.




x_Carousels_Here to me

New comers Carousel are a duo girl/boy, Lucy Wilson/Nick Benton, from Guildford/Cambridge. The steam coming from some rests of Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine is nice to see reappearing.




x_Raw Thrills_Laurel Canyon Dreamin'

Zak Mering from Greatest Hits has a lot of others project with different moniker. Raw Thrills is one of them. On its last release, « Raw Thrills and his Chain Gang », (downloadable for free here), we’re meeting lots of pearls and Laurel Canyon Dreamin’ is one of them.




x_TEENS_Die With You

TEENS come from Boise, Idaho and do a gorgeous rock and roll and garage music. I advise you to check on their bandcamp and get their first record released this year. We’re keeping our eyes on them!




x_Widowspeak_Nightcrawlers: 

A first record released the 08/09/2011 on the untouchable label Captured Tracks. Widowspeak is a great hope. Their album was recorded with Woods’ drummer and it’s in the American desert that we’re meeting Molly Hamilton, surrounded by Michael Stasiak on drums and Robert Earl on guitar.




x_Magic Trick_Daylight Moon

We already know Tim Cohen as being hugely productive (for the best!) with Fresh & Onlys and now he is coming with his Magic Trick for a new record called “The Glad Birth of Love” (Empty Cellar Records) released the 23/08. Apparently, Daylight Moon would be the shortest song. Here is an artist with an incomparable talent. We’re still far away from knowing all his mysteries…




x_Psychic Dancehall_Out Of The Vale, Into The Void

This is the project of Hollie Cook and the Crocodile Charles Rowell. Psychic Dancehall is a holy discover. Their first album, full of fog and reverb, will be released soon and will follow the already sold out single "A Love That Kills" 7" on Art Fag.


Enjoy!
