See Joyce, except this one is actually Scandavian. Beatrice Eli is Swedish and demanding love in a big way. Conqueror is dark and moody and comes with some gigantic production. I don’t think listening on my headphones is doing this justice, particularly the gigantic drums surrounding the killer line –  ’I demand that special part – [...]

by Andrew Sacher Arthur Beatrice, aside from being the reversed name of Beatrice Arthur, is a four-piece from London with a knack for creating infectious art pop. Like other female-fronted art pop groups who have caught our ear lately (Austra,...

We’re really digging this remix that Canada-via-Leeds producer Bwana put together of melancholy indie singer Arthur Beatrice.

Stockholm, Sweden artist Beatrice Eli has a new video for her excellent track "The Conqueror" . Digging this track, real dark and lovely. Seems she will be releasing a new single/EP soon. Definitely an artist that sparked our interest. We will be keeping an eye out for her. Beatrice Eli - The Conqueror by BeatriceEli

Words: Saam Das Another day, another mysterious new act. Yesterday we discussed the slowly building hype of the still somewhat enigmatic Arthur Beatrice . While I wrote about Arthur Beatrice comparatively late on, waiting it out till enough details were revealed, I intend to pounce upon new solo artist Pale early to see how things pan out. Much like another veiled act Father Sculptor , Pale supported Spector recently. Alas, not much information has emerged regarding that appearance. But now some tracks have emerged on Soundcloud so we can all hear for ourselves. And see how the hype machine rolls on... Lewis ...

Words: Saam Das There have been plenty of whispers around London for the last six months or so about Arthur Beatrice - playing their own sporadic clubnights while deliberately holding back any studio recordings from making their way onto the internet. But they have now begun to show some of their cards, in good time for their debut single, 'Midland', making its way onto limited 12" vinyl this month. Their "mysterious" approach is one that I find generally infuriating, although I did enjoy the fact that their website URL is online-presence.info . That's witty to some extent. This charade has ...

Can this be right? A gig by Jandek in Manchester this month? Indeed it is. An ultra-rare appearance by the ultra-elusive outsider folk-blues musician put on by a partnership of enterprising promoters Buried Bones and MIE Music . For all his shadowy elusiveness and absence of biographical information, Jandek has an extensive discography – 50 albums and counting . For this live show, ' The Representative of Corwood Industries' will be joined by drummer Alex Nielson (of Trembling Bells and numerous collaborations) and experimental guitarist Richard Youngs. Tickets here . In a cruel clash on the same Saturday is the 11th Carefully Planned All Dayer ...

We featured Leeds UK via Toronto producer Bwana and his stunning mix for Arthur Beatrice just a few days ago. We’ve still got that on some serious rotation. Today, Mad Decent dropped Bwana’s latest the Erykah Badu-sampling “Can’t You Just”. Yes! Featuring a sharp kinetic glide and some really nicely layered synth flourishes, “Can’t You [...]

With its pure, candid lyrics and delicate 80s guitar shimmers 'Midland' would undoubtedly need a video of equal purity to accompany it, thankfully director Rita Lino was on hand.

Not only does Beatrice Eli have a new video for her solid single "The conquerer", apparently she's also recently been picked up by Razzia Records. Check it!
