There's a fine line between melancholic and morbid, a light division between pulling at your heartstrings and simply going too far. Thankfully, Funeral Suits know how to tread this line. A Dublin oriented four piece, the band's output thus far has been epic in size, scale and construction with famed producer Stephen Street on hand to lend them a few tips. Not that they need it. Funeral Suits come buoyed with the confidence of a band who simply know where their limits are - and how to brush past them. Debut album 'Lily Of The Valley' is set to ...

Bespectacled Sydney four-piece Cameras will embark on an east-coast tour in support of debut album In Your Room in July.

It was mastered at Air Studios in London by Ray Staff (Muse, David Bowie, Nick Cave). Since forming in 2008, the ...

Wymond Miles' previous Sacred Bones EP, Earth Has Doors took me quite a few listens to absorb. It’s a dense, untethered pop gem that works some fairly esoteric ideas into winding paths of song. I'd expected more of the same on his subsequent LP but it seems that while the grandeur remains, the songs on Under the Pale Moon are much more grounded and tangible. The album pulls from the moody, grandiose, dark pop of the 70's; bits of Roxy Music, Echo and the Bunnymen and The Cure. Its clear that this period in pop had a ...

This month’s compilation is from London menswear designer Lee Roach. Italian Vogue tagged him as the London fashion scene’s purist and his A/W ’12 presentation was a standout from the LFW menswear day. Here, Lee gives us an insight into the sounds of his studio by picking his favourite tunes and why he loves them so much. MADONNA ‘LIKE A PRAYER’ “Madonna’s Blonde Ambition tour, 1990; stylistically this was her most incredible period.” DEPECHE MODE 'BEHIND THE WHEEL’ “Featured in the brilliant Depeche Mode 101 documentary, which follows the band and a group of fans who ...

A delightfully creative work, Floratone’s second effort presents soundscapes that trigger wonder and a drive to spot the allusion. Guitarist Bill Frisell and drummer-percussionist Matt Chamberlain turn Chinese in “The Bloom Is On” (don’t miss Jon Brion’s weird, echoey keyboard flares), lay down the best instrumental Roxy Music never wrote in “More Pluck,” and stretch New Orleans second line with exquisite drama in the segue from the spectral “Snake, Rattle” to the sunnier “Parade.” For rocking out, try “Move”; for funk, traverse “Do You Have It” and the Ry Cooder on Mars-styled “Gimme Some”; for hard, electric ...

A lot of thought and planning, that's what. Allan Glen explains the clout behind Sunderland's progress towards becoming music's new Liverpool or Manchester What is it that transforms an area's local musical landscape into a national credible scene? Wearside acts The Futureheads , Field Music, Hyde & Beast, and Frankie and the Heartstrings may have achieved critical success in recent years but that is merely part of the story of how a city regenerates its music industry beyond geographical borders. Behind the NME features and music press hyperbole many others in Sunderland have been working tirelessly over the ...

“I feel like my brattiness was seriously lacking on the record,” admits Catcall aka Catherine Kelleher about her long-awaited debut album ‘The Warmest Place’. In this track-by-track guide, Kelleher speaks about her many collaborators, inspirations and influences – from Roxy Music to The Go-Gos and ESG. ‘The Warmest Place’ This is an a cappella track that opens the record and leads into ‘August’. It was written in 2006 after my dad died very suddenly of a heart attack, sort of a cathartic exercise which I think became a catalyst for me trying to do something solo (which at the time was ...

New-York no-wavers Cellular Chaos have made their latest, self-titled studio EP available for streaming! Featuring the wily, writhing instrumentation of multi-instrumentalist Weasel Walter, bassist Ceci Moss, and free-jazz drummer Marc Edwards, alongside the animated vocals of Admiral Grey, the EP is a loopy, livid production that draws from punk, jazz, and probably even theater classes (some of Grey’ intonations remind me of the expressive exercises I was subjected to at theater school). It also includes a blistering cover of Roxy Music’s “Re-Make/Re-Model,” the opening track of the group’s eponymous debut album. Most and best of all: it ...

Das am 27. April erscheinende fünfte Album "...Little Broken Hearts" der Soul-Sängerin Norah Jones gibt es bis zum Release bei tape.tv im exklusiven Pre-Listening. Der Langspieler, welcher via Blue Note Records veröffentlicht wird, wurde von Danger Mouse  produziert. Der DJ machte zuletzt durch seine Zusammenarbeit mit Daniele Luppi  für das gemeinsame " Rome "-Projekt auf sich aufmerksam. Ihr Fünftling überrascht mit einem neuen Klanggewand – der aktuelle Langspieler verbindet den seichten Jazz-Gesang der Grammy-Preisträgerin mit schwungvollen Beats. Die Platte handelt – wie bereits am Titel zu erahnen ist – von ihrer letzten, gescheiterten Beziehung. Hört an dieser Stelle exklusiv in die gesamte Kompilation ...

There are a lot of bands referencing the past, and that’s a little disturbing to me. I love Deerhunter and Serena-Maneesh, I think they’re great. They strike me as sort of what Medicine was trying to be, this ideal teen makeout music. I think of Roxy Music’s Avalon – was that a precursor to shoegaze because it’s a great makeout album? Maybe!

Having shown off their takes on the Pet Shop Boys ' "Rent" and "Heart" for a Record Store Day single, Sunderland's Field Music have announced that they will release an album of covers to coincide with their UK fall tour. The tracklist is still to be announced, but it will feature both previously released covers as well as new ones, like their take on Syd Barrett 's "Terrapin". They've also covered the Beatles, Roxy Music, Leonard Cohen, and, of course, the Pet Shop Boys in the past. David Brewis explains in a press release: "Over the years we've ...
