Carrying on with their career-long tradition of not being remotely appreciated enough, Ladytron are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their second album Light & Magic, as sublime a piece of electro-pop as has been created this century… and hardly anyone is noticing. The official date of the anniversary is September 17, and leading up to […]
Last week, Warpaint rolled out another video from Radiate Like This – a strange and compelling clip summed by by director Jim Hosking thusly: ’Hips’ has a scuttling intensity to it. It sounds like someone desperately trying to find something. Or at least that’s what it seemed to me. I listened to it repeatedly and […]
When Interpol’s landmark debut album Turn On The Bright Lights turned 10 back in 2012, the band marked it with a fancy-pants deluxe edition full-court press of interviews and recollections which I helpfully collated and notated last year: But time has munched on we’ve hit another nice round anniversary for a record which has, thankfully, […]
Here’s another complete live set from the good people at Primavera Sound, though this one is plucked more from their inbox than their vaults. It dates back to this past May and the 2022 edition of the festival, and features Dry Cleaning doing their thing in front of throngs of thousands. Anyone looking for a […]
“Temptation” might be one of New Order’s most famous and beloved tracks, but given the song’s twisty history, it’s not unreasonable to ask, “yes, but which ‘Temptation’?”. And there’s actually a very simple answer to that one, but we’ll get to that. The first documented appearance of the song was in the live film Taras […]
Dreampop fans who like their guitars chorused and the melodies buoyant would do well to not miss out on Patina, the just-released second record from Toronto’s Tallies. Any press around it will reference The Sundays, Smiths, and Cocteau Twins and the band would likely take these comparisons as sincere flattery (the “None more 4AD” artwork […]
Mathematically, Spring 2019 wasn’t that long ago but watching live footage from then now seems like a window into another dimension. Here, for example, we’ve got Hatchie performing at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound in May of that year, still a couple weeks away from releasing her debut album Keepsake. Half the set previews that new record, […]
Uber-producer Nigel Godrich recently revived his From The Basement web series, which captured full-length sessions from various bands who passed through his studio, and one of the first new ones is from Warpaint, presumably recorded this past May when they were in the UK touring their latest record Radiate Like This. I saw them in […]
London’s Sorry would probably bristle at being simply described as “post-punk” – their glitchy, groovy, art-rock has so much more going on than that – but there’s no denying there’s a strong through-line from their sound and the experimental aesthetic of that original ’80s scene. Plus it justifies me posting about it, so I’ll go […]
The year of Wet Leg continues, as the duo are wrapping an Australian tour and will come straight back to North America for a short North American run – their Toronto club debut sandwiched between major festivals – before more fests in Europe and back to North America for more shows through October, then back […]
