When guitar bands release their debut album, they usually get forgiven if their sound is a little rough around the edges. In fact, they are often criticised if they are too pristine too soon. For electronica artists however, their debut is expected to be highly evolved, eclipsing everything that has gone before it, in line with technological progress. For Barcelona-based producer John Talbot (real name Oriol Riverola), the way around this weight of expectation was to reboot his career. Previously releasing music under the name d.a.r.y.l., he ditched this moniker just as his skills were reaching ...

It's a big hello and welcome to electronic newcomers No Gold, fresh on the Altsounds radar. Hailing from Vancouver, this trio's evocative electro pop is reminiscent of early 80s Arthur Russell, as well as the more recent likes of Panda Bear and Caribou. With one album already under their belt, No...

Time off from being one-half of the Fiery Furnaces (with the other half being her brother Matthew) has been treating Eleanor Friedberger quite well. She’s on tour with a backing band featuring Matt Asti (MGMT), Ahmed Gallab (Yeasayer, Caribou) and John Eatherly (Be Your Own Pet, Turbo Fruits), and she’ll also personally be joining Carrie [...]

Shigeto is an alter ego for Zach Saginaw. He is signed to Ghostly International. He is set to release his new album 'Lineage' through said label on January 30th. That's about as simple as it gets. 'Lineage' - for all its languid tempos and soft tones - is a complex work that draws on Saginaw's own family history as well as a mosaic of different electronic influences. A wonderful release that seems to slow down the outside world to unfold at its own pace, ClashMusic recently asked Shigeto to introduce the new album. He agreed. This is what he had ...

Eleanor Friedberger hat jüngst ihre Live-EP zum kostenfreien Download bereitgestellt. Darüber hinaus hat die Popsängerin kürzlich ein neues Musikvideo zu ihrem Song "Heaven" veröffentlicht. Für die Visualisierung wählte Produzent Scott Jacobson ein unprätentiöses Selbstportrait der Popsängerin, das ihre nicht ganz ernst gemeinte Vorstellung vom Himmel andeutet. Das Video könnt ihr euch »hier ansehen. An dieser Stelle habt ihr außerdem die Gelegenheit, die fünf Live-Tracks gegen Aushändigung eurer E-Mail-Adresse herunterzuladen: Eleanor Friedberger – "Live-EP " Zusammen mit ihrem Bruder Matthew, der im letzten Jahr stolze fünf Soloalben produzierte, ist Eleanor Friedberger Teil der Indierock-Band The Fiery Furnaces . 2009 veröffentlichten sie ihren siebten Langspieler ...

Time to move on... I dont know about you, but I've had this strange nagging prejudice about digital labels for some time. It's obviously born out of my chronic love for vinyl and while I have nothing against wav's and mp3's as such, it's when they exist without a more credible partner release on the black stuff, that i loose interest. Of course I am aware there are many labels doing great things via the digital medium and I'm aware that I have probably missed out on some very special music as a result ...

Fiery Furnaces' Eleanor Friedberger released her first solo album, Last Summer, this past July to glowing reviews. It featured an all-star cast of Matt Asti (MGMT), Ahmed Gallab (touring member of Yeasayer & Caribou), and John Eatherly (Be Your Own Pet & Turbo Fruits, as well as many excellent songs -- like "Heaven". She released the video for that one in particular today

Mitte Januar haben die Londoner Krautpopper Walls über Kompakt mit "Into Our Midst" die zweite Single ihres letztjärhigen Zweitwerks "Coracle" veröffentlicht, zu dem uns jetzt auch ein neues Video vorliegt. Der Song selbst präsentiert sich als über siebenminütiges schwebendes Stück Ambient-Electro, welches sich aber dank seinem dezenten Beat nicht vollständig in die Traumwelt verabschiedet, sondern auch zum hypnotischen Mitgrooven einlädt. Der Kurzfilm regt hingegen unseren Geschmackssinn an, denn Regisseur Sean Rogg filmte den Enstehungsprozess eines nicht näher definierten Konfekts. Werft an dieser Stelle einen Blick auf das Kunstwerk: Walls - "Into Our Midst" Der Italiener Alessio Natalizia und sein aus Manchester ...

- Frequenze mix - JAMIE XX vs. CARIBOU - THE BOILER ROOM - 100 MIN SET - OCTOBER 2011 Djset a quattro mani registrato durante la serata di presentazione di The Kings of Limbs Remixed l'ottobre scorso. Conclusioni: la selezione è concettuale, la platea è ben disposta ma nel complesso piuttosto tiepidina. Da rimarcare l'assenza di un laptop e la comparsa saltuaria del vinile. Jamie XX sente di piu la pista, mentre Caribou compensa ad una carente tecnica di missaggio (nonostante i servigi del cdj 1000) la scelta di perle come Optimo dei Liquid Liquid . Nel complesso tra i due preferisco il primo ...
