Electronic quartet Metronomy are due to return this year with a brand new studio album The English Riviera, but first they have served up a small bite of what's to come with She Wants, a delicious dark and funky synth pop tune with a creepy video to boot.  The English Riviera is Metronomy's third album and is the follow up to 2009's very awesome Nights Out.She Wants is released on January 28th in

A couple of days ago Memory Tapes revealed a brand new studio track from his forthcoming studio album through a compilation called Love SIC Disco, available for free on The Guardian UK website. Love SIC Disco itself is a cool 18 tracks and the new Memory Tapes track, Today Is Our Life really glimmers above most on the album. The video was released yesterday and it was put together by Jamie Harley

Ahead of his Button Factory gig on February 4th, Clark has just dropped a brand new MPC DJ mix on us. It was broadcast on 6Music last week and he now put it up on Soundcloud for us all to enjoy! As quoted from the Warp Records website Clark says of the mix: "So I thought I was just innocently putting some of my favourite dancefloor material together for DJ sets, then found out via dirty

The Horrors have always been an impeccably cool band, but they were seen to be more about style than substance before the release of 2009's Primary Colours album. Their debut Strange House was their effort at modern garage rock while Primary Colours gave them the "hip" status and recognition with the taste makers, as well as earning them a Barclaycard Mercury Music Prize nomination. Lead vocalist

So 2011 is the year we lucky people finally get to hear a full length release from Scottish rockers Twin Atlantic! The first taster from the album is new single Edit Me, three minutes of good solid rock which goes to prove that this band have more than another mini album in them. Earlier this week Twin Atlantic revealed that their new album titled Free, shall be released sometime in April, but in

While many artists have attempted to cover various Neil Young songs over the years and some very badly (I'm looking at you Tori Amos and Duran Duran), it's always quite a treat when someone gets it right. Last month Laura Marling released a version of The Needle And The Damage Done and it's superb.The track was produced by Jack White who seems to have a great knack for producing quality country

The mighty Snoop teamed up with Gorillaz earlier this year for the intro song on Plastic Beach, with Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach and they have just released the video to it. Snoop is on Plastic Beach and looks quite dapper in this top hat and embellished tail coat but I don't think you could expect anything less.

Last Sunday saw LCD Soundsystem take to the stage for a third time over the weekend to ensure it was one of the gigs of the year in Tripod, Dublin. Being a Sunday and a busy gig weekend about town, I almost expected a subdued crowd in Tripod, but wonderfully that was not the case as James Murphy and his band of merry men and woman, slammed out two fantastic hours of non stop party filled tunes.

It Goes, It Goes (Forever & Ever) from Halves is one of my favourite releases of 2010. The intricacy on each track is simply quite stunning and the one track in particular that I have taken to listening to the most from the album is Growing & Glow. Last night they performed a gorgeous version on RTE's The View with Jennifer Evans on vocals. The album version features Metric front woman and Broken

Shit Robot has released one of my favourite dance albums of 2010 with From The Cradle To The Grave. A real treat for dance fans this year. Take 'Em Up featuring Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem fame on vocals in particular, is an electro disco anthem in it's itself with it's breezy vocal and synth-tastic rhythms. The video has just premiered over at Pitchfork and it was directed by fellow Irish man

Squarepusher has joined a band or at least created one with "a bunch of people you may or not have heard of from other bands and projects" called Shobaleader One. In and interview over on the Warp Records site, Tom Jenkins reveals the aim of Shobaleader One "The overall aim is to articulate my music through the medium of a band.

Last weekend The Hard Working Class Heroes Festival took place over three days, in 6 venues at night and 16 venues during the day. With a champion lineup in place to keep you gloriously running around from venue to venue, it made me very proud to be part of something that showcased some of the incredible talent that's coming out of Ireland right now.

You might have guessed by now that I am a Memory Tapes fan since I post a lot of his remixes and reworks on this blog. So here is another, a wonderful rework of Babe, Terror's Havai and it's nothing short of stellar. Babe, Terror uses his voice and lo-fi recording equipment to make music, making it a fantastic template for the mesmerising stylings created by Memory Tapes. The accompanying video

Spies first came to my attention last year when a friend recommended them to play a gig I was putting on in The Twisted Pepper. They were then called Lumiere and I instantly loved their post punk tones, dipped in contorted Indie murmurs that were reminiscent of Joy Division and Interpol.So it is a year later and they are just about to release their first proper EP Liars Call Me King on 7"and free

I am addicted to the brand new single from Crystal Fighters called Follow. It's definitely one of those songs that keeps building in pace until you are practically dancing around the room like a lunatic. The video is a multicoloured event and was directed by Ian Pons Jewell.Follow is the song to start your weekend to - so watch, listen and dance and it's out in Ireland today and the UK on Monday

To coincide with the release of their third studio album Crush,  Abe Vigoda have dropped the video to album track Throwing Shade upon us. The song and album itself sees a departure of the tropical punk stylings of 2008's release Skeleton, inviting in a more danceable sound. Crush can take the nu wave route at times and Throwing Shade is a fine example of that, but the album as a whole is still

OK Go are definitely renowned for their pretty stunning video's and their video to the seriously funky White Knuckles is no exception. In fact it's quite fantastic and for dog lovers it surely gets a ten out of ten. This is the best 3.36 mins you will spend today as it shall certainly make you smile (unless you hate dogs).White Knuckles is taken from Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.

Clare Maguire is probably going to be championed as 2011's Florence, Adele or Ellie Goulding as it seems someone needs to fit into these hype machine shoes each year. Vocally though Clare has an old school bluesy folk style, similarly sounding to Sandy Denny or Maddy Prior. Her music however, is not of that ilk and Ms Maguire is more pop than 70's blues folk. Memory Tapes has just finished

Scottish rockers Twin Atlantic played a blistering set in The O2 Dublin in support of headliner's Blink 182. They played to a packed and eager Blink audience for about 45 minutes and it's safe to say they won them over by the time they finished with fan favourite, A Guidance From Colour.

I stumbled across Dam Mantle at Field Day last weekend on the XOYO/Lock Tavern Stage and instead of queuing for a pint which was my initial plan, I danced, because I couldn't quite help become absorbed by the gorgeous hypnotic glitches, throbbing dubstep bass lines and overall intergalactic feel of the set.Dam Mantle is Scottish producer Tom Marshallsay who has remixed for Gold Panda and more

It's always nice to get free stuff and Cut Copy want you to have a free MP3 of a brand new track of theirs called Where I'm Going. It's a taster from their third studio album due out early next year and it is mixed by Ben Allen, who has previously worked with MIA and Animal Collective.Where I'm Going has a vintage air to it, as if the band were fresh out of the 1960's and were fused with Panda

The first act I am thrilled to be catching at Field Day in London's Victoria Park next week is Beth Jeans Houghton. Her brand of kooky and serene folk is one that has been done in some context before but few can pull it off so well.Her comparisons to Laura Marling are undoubtedly obvious, but her vocal is has a slightly more fragile air that would remind me more of Hope Sandoval and even François

My favourite Scottish band Belle and Sebastian debuted a brand new song at a gig in Helsinki earlier this week. Taken from their first studio album in 5 whole years I Didn't See It Coming is a radiant indie pop song that will have you humming or singing along after one play (that's what happened to this listener anyway).One can only hope that the rest of their new material is as compelling but

It was a busy week on the photo front and Saturday last I snapped three excellent bands at The Retro Revival Club in Sweeney's on Dame Street, Dublin.The Doo Wrongs & The Vagabonds played support to The Urges, whose organic psychedelic garage rock distinguishes them as a must see band and the best part about it all is they are local. Steve Van Zandt signed The Urges to his Wicked Cool label two

Playing for just under two hours, Snoop oozed charm and charisma and proved a real hit with females of the audience, with half of his set dedicated to "the ladies".Gin and Juice, What's My name, Sign and Drop It Like It's Hot provoked a vigorous response, while Gangsta Love from his current

I found this remix post originally over at the 514 Blog and thought it was definitely worthy of re-posting. The latest single from N.E.R.D, Hot N Fun, features Ms Nelly Furtado and is taken from their forthcoming album Nothing due out in September.What I love about this though is the random selection of remixes for Hot N Fun. You get the signature funky house beats from Hot Chip, the thumping

Okay a here are a couple of remixes for you before I hit the sunshine for the afternoon.So first up I have a remix of Yeasayer's O.N.E from London based DJ & music producer Rich Clancy. This is the second remix he has thrown my way in the past couple of months and you can check out his excellent remix of Delphic's Halcyon HERE.While His Delphic remix was an electro stomper, Clancymusic's

A small intimate show with 70 people attended this stunning low light show from Halves. They were supported by excellent local quirky folk duo The Ambience Affair. The main means of lighting throughout the show was from image projection and candles hence the a lot of silhouettes and low light shots!For a look at the full set go HERE.HalvesHalvesHalvesThe Ambience Affair

Ahead of the release of their third studio album Serotonin out in a couple of weeks, Mystery Jets have dropped the first official single from the album Dreaming Of Another World.It's accompanying video was filmed in a French mansion on the outskirts of Paris, embracing a wistful 60's sentiment and directional duties is courtesy of Yoann Lemoine.William Rees takes on the lead vocal on this shiny,

The singles are coming out thick and fast from Foals second record Total Life Forever, with Miami being the third track to be released. It's a funky one with a fantastic video directed by Dave Ma, that slightly reminds me of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker and all it's weirdness. Miami is certainly a step away from Foals video's gone past and features transsexuals and body builders having a bit of a

For those of you in attendance at the Graham Day & The Gaolers gig in Sweeney's (formerly Le Cirk) you will certainly agree that it was a fantastic performance. Graham Day is somewhat of a legend when it comes to the garage rock scene and received a hero's welcome when he took to the stage on Saturday night. He even managed to play three Prisoners songs much to the delight of the animate crowd.

From their 28th studio album Your Future Our Clutter is the brand new video to The Fall's Bury! PTS 2+4. It's pretty safe to say that this is a cracking tune and the video is as equally slick.It was directed by ThirtyTwo who previous duties have included videos from Elbow and Franz Ferdinand.

This is easily one of my favourite tracks on Sisterworld and keeping with tradition of Liars videos gone past, The Overachievers is no less menacing and eerie. Crazed man on a treadmill, check. A bag hanging from the ceiling dripping of blood, check. It keeps in with the sinister theme and the video was directed by the bands own Aaron Hemphill.Sisterworld is out now on Mute Records and The

Freshly squeezed from the bands second album Latin, due on the shelves this Friday (May 7th), Holy Fuck return with Latin America as their first hint of what to expect from their new material.The video to accompany lends a nostalgic note and also becomes some sort of video blog of the bands live shows, mish mashed together with random scenery and general everyday moments.It works however and it

Last nights Jools Holland was always going to be quite special with Gorillaz in the lineup and they proved why with two stunning performances. With both Mos Def and Bobby Womack on vocals, Stylo was their opening choice and rightly so as the flagship single from Plastic Beach.This was followed by the special Record Store Day single White Flag featuring The National Orchestra For Arabic and the MC

If blistering garage rock is your thing then you won't want to miss the next Retro Revival Club night on May 8th in Le Cirk. Authentic as it gets when it comes to garage rock, Graham Day & The Gaolers are set to headline proceedings and they already boast an army of fans from Steve Lamacq, Ian Brown and the Horrors to Noel Gallagher, but don't let the latter put you off.Graham Day has played with

LCD Soundsystem return next month with their third studio album This Is Happening and in a nutshell it's awesome. The first official single to be taken from the album is the tumultuous and brazen Drunk Girls, an all out sing-a-long from start to finish. The video is as equally raucous as the song and quite funny too.It's safe to say James Murphy and co have come back with a bang leaving few

Mystery Jets return with some brand new music for you to salivate over with Flash A Hungry Smile. This is the first track taken from their third studio album Serotonin due out on July 2nd in Ireland and 5th in the UK on Rough Trade Records. The more I listen, the more I love Flash A Hungry Smile, it's wonderfully happy with a nice vintage pop sound. Serotonin was produced by Chris Thomas whose

Sage Francis returns with a new track taken from his new studio album Li(f)e, called The Best Of Times. It's a welcome and wonderful return from the poetic rapper and storyteller and you can hear it over on the Zane Lowe website. Li(f)e is released on Anti- in Ireland on May 7th and features music written and/or performed by Calexico, Buck 65, Yann Tiersen, DeVotchKa, Mark Linkous of

Another fine tune from the wonderfully paired electro kings Boys Noize and Erol Alkan. Lemonade is as big as it gets as they help fill up the playlists of DJ's all over the globe in good time for festival season.

They are a vivacious quartet from the UK who play tremendous raw rock n' roll, garage and 60's influenced R & B, ladies and gents it is your duty to check out Thee Vicars. These boys have two albums under their belt (Back On The Street & Psychotic Beat) and a handful of E.P's/singles, which is great going for a band only 3 years together.Fans of The Sonics, Thee Mighty Caesars The Horrors and The

I love it when a top remix comes my way and hats off to London music producer Rich Clancy, for sending me over his cheeky remix of Delphic's Halcyon. The CLANCY remix gives an already enslaving Halcyon a bold and far more vivacious feel and is a perfect way to start the party this Easter weekend.Check it out over on Soundcloud.

You Me At Six played a blistering sold out show in Dublin's Olympia Theatre on Sunday night. Despite suffering from laryngitis, front man Josh Franceschi and the rest of the band brought it full throttle to an ecstatic crowd. Their setlist was made up of some old favourites from Take Off Your Colours but mostly consisted of tracks from their new album Hold Me Down with Safer To Hate Her, Liquid

Judesays is responsible for yet again another video from Indie electronic duo YACHT and this time it's for the uber addictive The Afterlife, from their album See Mystery Lights. The video sees both Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans being immersed in various masses of water as if being cleansed or baptised. From waterfalls to even a paddling pool, it is visually quite a gorgeous and serene

Hot Chip always bring a quirky quality to their video's, but their video to I feel Better takes quirky to the next level (in a good way). Directed by friend and comedian Peter Serafinowicz, the video to I feel Better highlights the ridiculousness of reality TV shows such as the X Factor in a fantastical story of a boy band as Hot Chip.Humorous, strange and slightly insane at times but

London trio We Have Band like to deliver a bit of kookiness when it comes to their video's and their new offering for Divisive is no exception. Divisive is projected with a similar artsy flair as one of their excellent previous video's You Came Out and is definitely a floor filler you will want to keep playing.

I'm quite excited about the release of Foals second album. Yesterday on their various social networking sites the band revealed the release date for Total Life Forever, will be May 10th 2010 (May 7th Ire). Perfect timing for festival season I think.The album was recorded in the latter part of last year at the Svenska Grammofon Studion in Gothenberg, Sweden and you can hear a first listen to their

As quirky as ever, Late of The Pier return with the video to their cheeky new single Best In The Class, out on Phantasy Sounds on March 1st. This is part of an exclusive double A side single with another new LOTP track Blueberry.

This is a great video to Liars new track Scissor, from their new album Sisterworld.It's a pretty bizarre visual from the trio but it suits the track accordingly and sounds like they have gone back to the days of Drums Not Dead, which is a great thing. This finely shot video features Liars eccentric front man Angus Andrews lost at sea trying to survive flying rocks. Yes an unusual concept but of

My preference lies with the Labrinth remix which has a bit more impact and who also did a fantastic remix Hockey's Learn To Lose last year. Enjoy!Gorillaz release Plastic Beach on March 5th (Irl).

Errors are a band from Glasgow that make terrifyingly fantastic electro rock sounds. Their first album It's Not Something But It Is Like Whatever was released two years ago on Mogwai's label Rock Action Records and the follow up Come Down With Me is out February 26th (Irl) and March 1st (UK).

I love the Local Natives album Gorilla Manor and they have just made a delectable video to Airplanes, a wonderful song with stunning harmonies that represents Local Natives finely.They are due to play in Academy 2 in Dublin on March 10th and tickets are a steal at €13.50.Take a peek at their video and enjoy what they are about.

So after disembarking from the soul train with Jim, Jamie Lidell returns with a taster from his forthcoming new album Compass, which is released here in May and includes some interesting collaborations with Feist, Grizzly Bear and Beck.This track Compass is far removed from anything in Lidell's back catalogue which makes it all the more intriguing. It sounds much more raw than the polished

Saturday night was a great start to 2010 for the Retro Revival Club as their first gig of the year in Le Cirk went down a storm. It wasn't all about the headline act The Len Price 3 who drew the biggest crowd of the night, as both The Pacifics and Moutpiece both played dynamic and spirited sets, warming the growing crowd up very nicely indeed. You can check out some of the action below.The Len

The illustrious Frightened Rabbit give us another taster from their forthcoming third album The Winter Of Mixed Drinks with the delectable Nothing Like You.Released through Fat Cat Records on February 26th in Ireland this is one album I cannot wait to delve into. Scott Hutchison stated that The Winter Of Mixed Drinks was not going to be another very honest and frank break up album and as much as

A collaboration I was surprised to hear about was the coming together of indie rockers The Maccabees and Roots Manuva, while despite being slightly sceptical at first I am glad to say this works a treat.This track is featured on the bands current album Wall Of Arms under the title No Kind Words, but with the new lyrics input from Roots the song itself was re-named Empty Vessels. It was released

Dublin collective The Retro Revival Club are back after a wee Christmas break with some great gigs for the new year and with a new venue for you to snoop out too.The first gig takes place in Le Cirk on Dame Street on February 6th with garage combo The Len Price 3 headlining proceedings. The Wicked Cool signings are renowned for their organic yet fierce performances with fast paced garage rock

Fresh from their new album Black Light out at the end of next month, Groove Armada return with the electro-disco, fuelled floor filler, Paper Romance.It's an anthem to say the least and the vocals on this track are courtesy of SaintSaviour and Ben from Fenech-Soler. Other collaborations on Black Light include Bryan Ferry and Nick Littlemore from Empire Of The Sun/Pnau so it makes for an

The brand track from Gorillaz, titled Stylo leaked on various sites today. This is from the hugely anticipated new album Plastic Beach which is released on March 5th in Ireland and 8th in the UK on Parlophone records.Having heard the album I can confirm it's a cracking release and already an album of 2010 for me. It is innovative and fresh and the genius that is Damon Albarn is clearly not afraid

One Life Stand is the 4th studio album due for release from the mighty Hot Chip on January 29th (In Ireland). After releasing, in my opinion three top albums with Coming On Strong, The Warning and Made In The Dark in the space of five years, they return with yet another excellent release.Each album has seen the band evolve from an eccentric lo fi pop band to an all out disco club outfit, so the

You Me At Six were the main support act for Paramore last night in The O2 and they certainly know how to bring it live. They played mostly tracks from their debut Take Off Your Colours including the super catchy Kiss And Tell, Finders Keepers and Save It For The Bedroom but also included one of their fantastic new tracks, The Consequence.You Me At Six are set to release their second studio album

The second track on The Dodos 2009 release Time To Die is the alluring Longform, a pounding and fast paced concoction of drums and guitar that they have just made a video to.The video to Longform has me dreaming of summery days in the countryside and temporarily wipes away the winter blues. The perfect antidote to a cold day. Enjoy the warmth!

This track has been knocking about for a couple of months but finally there is a video to go with this belter. Chromeo's Night By Night is electro disco at it's finest and the accompanying video is like Dirty Dancing in a Strictly Ballroom haze with a touch of T.J Hooker but, without the grainy 80's quality and more of a polished 00's vibe.Skream has also done an incredible remix for this track

U:Mack’s 15th birthday is set to be a banging affair in Tripod on December 10th with huge favourites Battles heading the line up. Battles have played 4 or 5 gigs in Dublin over the past three years, each time to a bigger crowd, bigger venue and with more energy than the gig before. They quickly won over the minds of the Irish music lovers with the release of the debut EP's and anyone in

Chris Clark's nebulous and frenzied electronic style has earned him a few fans since his Clarence Park album was released on Warp Records in 2001 and this was pretty much proved when he played to a packed crowd at the DEAF festival last month.Totem's Flare released earlier this year, gathered him a new breed of followers, but it's hard to say if his remix of Maximo Park's Let's Get Clinical will

The Fever Ray album is definitely one of my favourite albums of this year. It's eerie demeanour throughout is somewhat unusual, yet comforting because of that and an array of ghostly video's have accompanied the album's strange manner since it's release earlier this year.So Keep The Streets Empty For Me is no exception to their ongoing theme. It's dark and features a girl creeping around a

Last month I blogged about the new release due from Late Of The Pier.It's no secret that Fantasy Black Channel was my favourite album of 2008 and just as the withdrawal symptoms set in and I waited eagerly for some new LOTP madness, they go ahead and announce details of their brand new double A-side single.

Twin Atlantic return with the raucous What Is Light? Where Is Laughter?, the third single to be released from their sterling debut album Vivarium. The band shot the video in sunny LA last month and despite no sun actually featuring in the video it's still extremely slick.The lads have just announced details of another headline tour of the UK to kick off in January with Irish dates to be added

There is a debate amongst Crookers fans right now over the Italian duo's latest single featuring Kelis (now you know what she has been up to of late) called No Security. Basically is it good enough? Famed for their electro based remixes of tracks for Kid Cudi, U2 and The Chemical Brothers to name three, Crookers have come up with a dub step track for their latest offering but surely that's not a

Vampire Weekend return with a harder edge to their sound and image with their brand new single Cousins. Gone are the chino's and polo shirts that sit nicely with Oxford Comma and Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, to reveal a slightly less polished sound and image.The video to accompany Cousins is of the usual high quality you would come to expect in a Vampire Weekend video and this quirky number is

Warp Records are yet again on the ball when it comes to signing decent talent and Portland Oregon's Nice Nice are no exception. Duo Jason Buehler and Mark Shirazi have been playing together for about 10 years and their music is all about the loops which they prefer to do rather than use samples and the result is ace.A wonderful mish mash of hypnotic rhythms and intense, consequential guitars all

Last night I got to witness the superb Biffy Clyro live @ The Olympia Theatre in Dublin.Their live show was insane and the crowd were, it has to be said, a fantastic contribution to the whole proceedings. From grand opener Golden Rule to anthems such as Who's Got A Match?, 9/15ths, Mountains and current single The Captain, Biffy Clyro brought it all. Screaming guitars, pounding drums and huge

Blackchords are from Melbourne, Australia and I think by the end of the year they shall be on every hot tipped list for 2010 if they are not already. They have been likened to early Radiohead, Elbow, Jeff Buckley and Explosions In The Sky and while yes, there are elements in their sound to suggest such comparisons Blackchords stand out on their own.Despite drawing from various influences they are

If you haven't checked out Jamie T's second album yet then do so as it's pretty damn awesome.

This video has been doing the rounds over the past week and a bit but I love the track too much not to mention it here. Swim Until You Can't See Land is another cracking song from Frightened Rabbit filled with gorgeous melodies and swooning backing vocals all surrounding Scott Hutchison's distinct lead vocal. which as always, lends itself to a certain amount of vulnerability.
