I’ve never heard of Mansfield.TYA before but I thought they must be cool if they got Planningtorock to remix a song of theirs. After checking out some stuff by the French duo I’m not so sure about that, but hey, this Planningtorock take on ‘Cerbère’ still rules. It’s taken from their new double LP entitled [...]

I headed down to Bristol for Simple Things festival this bank holiday, and had a pretty good time. Having been stuck in a house for a few days with two poorly housemates, I was glad to get out and away from Nottingham for a couple of days; however I hadn't quite escaped their sickliness and managed to contract some sort of virus that made my legs feel like lead whilst being plagued by a horrible nauseous feeling, which didn't make for very good festival-going, but I did what I could. First of all, I'm going to start ...

Hot on the heels of their well received debut album ‘Yesterday Was Lived and Lost’, playlisting on BBC Radio 1and XFM, a fantastic night at Corsica Studios in London, sold out shows in New York and a trip to SXSW, *New Build* return with a very special release just in time for Record Store Day...

New Build are set to release their track 'Medication' as a pill-shaped USB stick in time for Record Store Day. The growth of the internet has led to a collapse in demand for physical releases. As a result, new groups are thinking outside the box, leading to a gradual reinvention of what can be termed a 'format'. The Flaming Lips have a psychedelic gummi skull, Nicolas Jaar has a cube and now New Build have... a pill? Extracting 'Medication' from their recent debut album, New Build are planning to give the track a full release in time for Record Store ...

Remember those films in the eighties you loved, the ones you think you are too cool to admit to liking these days? Remember how good they made you feel? New Build’s Yesterday Was Lived And Lost , released on their own Lanark Recordings, makes you feel like that. And frankly, I don’t think New Build give a stuff about being part of the ‘hipster’ musical mob, which is one of the many reasons this album is such a joy. Perhaps an odd allegory, but there is no doubting the eighties electro influence in this album. The synths and upbeat ...

We formed in London about 6 years ago after Simon (the singer) moved there from Sweden. After a 2 year period we accumulated the right members and got rid of some too. We're all wildly different from one another in terms of, well, pretty much everything, but the years have created a special kind of unity. We buzz with creativity as a unit and disagree almost constantly.    Listening to:  We formed over a love of Neutral Milk Hotel, Sufjan Stevens, Belle and Sebastian and Olivia Tremor Control which spawned our first album. Our tastes have individually evolved dramatically and ...
