This is part of an exclusive double A side single with another new LOTP track Blueberry. What is so exclusive about it is there are only 500 limited edition coloured vinyl being pressed up and if you like what you hear then you can head over to their site www.phantasysound.co.uk.

Video: Liars - Scissor

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 course it works here.

Sisterworld is release March 5th (8th Uk) on Mute Records.

Gorillaz - Stylo remixes (DJ Kofi and Labrinth)

Today I bring you two new remixes of Stylo from Gorillaz, the first from DJ Kofi and the second from Labrinth. 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 A Rumour In Africa - Video


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). Errors don't just make straight forward electro rock but add plenty electronics and post rock nuggets to the equation mixing it up nicely.
Below is their new video to the brilliant
A Rumour In Africa. Puppets on a string anyone?



Happy Birthday to Hazel. x

Errors play Academy 2 on Thursday March 25th.

Local Natives - Airplanes Video.

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.

Listen to the new Jamie Lidell track Compass.

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 quality of Jim and far less erratic than the frenzied electronica on Muddlin' Gear and instead he takes a stripped back approach.

Compass is released through Warp Records on May 14th (Irl) and 17th (UK).

The full tracklisting is as follows:

1. Completely Exposed

2. Your Sweet Boom
3. She Needs Me
4. I Wanna Be Your Telephone
5. Enough’s Enough
6. The Ring
7. You Are Waking
8. I Can Love Again
9. It’s A Kiss
10. Compass
11. Gypsy Blood
12. Coma Chameleon
13. Big Drift
14. You See My Light
