Art rock mavericks TNP have left their home on Angular/ Domino Records and inked a new deal with the London based Infectious Music, with whom they plan to release a new album. The reasons behind the move are unclear, with the band posting a typically terse statement on their website; “we are making a new album. we spent months with lawyers and are pleased to have moved to Infectious Music for its release. from george, tom and jack” Curiously Sophie Sleigh-Johnson’s name is absent from this statement, suggesting that she may have parted company with the group. The last ...

Outside MTV's Brand New showcase in Camden, a crowd of music fans are doing what can only be described as "clucking". They scurry around looking concerned, with abrupt high-pitched exchanges and urgent hunches over their iPhones. At first you may think something awful has happened, and then you see a hastily-printed sign and realise it's worse: "Lana Del Rey is unable to perform tonight due to illness." After the critical panning she got after her Saturday Night Live performance it's no wonder that Lana's not quite feeling herself. Her billing tonight was a strange fit, slotted ...

MP3: El Jesus de Magico – Bone Knife It seems like a lifetime ago, but it was 2008 when I saw El Jesus de Magico at the Wexner Center with These New Puritans. It was an odd pairing, an empty … Continue reading →

Nachdem die Londoner von Breton zuletzt die "The Blanket Rule EP" zum kostenlosen Download angeboten haben ( motor.de berichtete ), werden die Details zu ihrem anstehendem Debütalbum konkreter. Ihr Erstling "Other People's Problems" wird hierzulande am 30. März via FatCat Records/Rough Trade erscheinen. Für das Album reiste das Quintett aus Roman Rappak, Adam Ainger, Ian Patterson, Daniel McIlvenny und Ryan McClarnon nach Island, um in den sagenumwobenen Studios von Sigur Rós ihre Songs zu erarbeiten. Sowohl der Düsseldorfer Hauschka , der Pate für die Streicherarrangements stand, als auch These New Puritans -Schlagzeuger Thomas Hein waren an der Entstehung des Albums ...

Have you heard the new Fall album yet? You're going to buy it sooner or later, I know, irrespective of what anyone says. You always do. And why not, when it contains a song as powerful as Greenway ? Now everyone assures me that this is a none-too-subtle dig at These New Puritans, a band named after a Fall track, but I've never been one to listen to Fall songs for what they are about. No, I listen because they continue to sound extraordinary, and this is one of the most breathtaking things they've done since 1998's ...

Welcome to the fourteenth edition of New Music by Region . Every fortnight we aim to present the best new music in 8 major cities and regions from across the UK (and Ireland). With the help of regional correspondents, we plan to present our shortlist of new music in Birmingham, Brighton, Cardiff, Dublin, Norwich, London and Oxford. New Music by Region #13 can be found here ! Name : Health & Efficiency – ‘Severn’ For Fans Of : Sonic Youth and These New Puritans Website : Official site Correspondent : Lyle Bignon A slow cooker that eventually descends into a magnificent wall of scuffed-up fuzzy noise, is carried along by an undercurrent of tremolo guitar, piano and vocals plus some awesome skills on the skins. Named after a 112-year old naturist magazine (possibly), the Brum outfit heave with the unbridled pleasure of 21st century experimental art-rock. Previous slots with vintage pysch-rock band Arbouretum, retro-futurist electronica trio Seeland and at alt-fest Supersonic go some way to mark out their musical intentions. Beautifully disordered. Name : Astroid Boys – ‘Trouble Out Tonight’ For Fans Of : Foreign Beggars & Odd Future. Website : Band website Correspondent : Emma Dudley Astroid Boys are taking over Cardiff with their infectious rap and raw hip, hop including a fan base at Radio 1. About to release their first album at Christmas after the immense response to their EP ‘Space Jam . For fans of a more serious GLC but not for people who think swearing is an uncool as a drunken grandmother. They will be the band everyone should see in 2012. Name : Land lovers – ‘The Cinema Bell’ For Fans Of : Weezer and Stephen Malkmaus and the Jicks. Website : Band website Correspondent : Barry Peak A couple of years ago a group of passionate kids, sick of a stagnant music industry, got together and did it themselves. The result was the popical island collective and one of the progenitors was Land Lovers ' Pádraig Cooney. After releasing a well received debut record, Cooney put together a full band and now has the power and dynamics to compliment his supremely catchy pop songs. Name : Stapleton - Full Beams Down The Mountain For Fans Of : American Football, Cymbals Eat Guitars Website : Myspace Correspondent : Rory Cargill While not a new band (by a long shot), Stapleton formed in 1997 and with four albums under their belt, they have still not been recognised beyond a very intimate and lucky cult following (less than 5000 listeners on last.fm is a travesty in my eyes). Recommend to me by the new singer of This Town Needs Guns and previously Pennines who are two of my favourite bands, I had to check Stapleton out. At the recent TTNG gig at King Tut's, members of the crowd shouted the band's name after seeing Henry Tremain's band t-shirt; the Scots are proud of this band, and righty so - huge elements of American Football style 90s emo meets Cymbals Eat Guitars. The album Hug The Coast is on sale for £2 on ...

Angular Recording Corporation have been responsible for bringing Bloc Party, Klaxons and These New Puritans to the attention of the world. For a tiny independent label run out of a weeny Dalston office, they punch waaaay above their weight, and have a fair bit of form when it comes to backing a winner, basically, it’s always worth checking out what they’ve got going on- so here’s their latest artist, Fresh Touch . Produced by Richard Russell (the man on the desk for Gil Scott Heron’s recent highly acclaimed come back album) and xx collaborator Rodaidh McDonald, Fresh ...

Waiting at dawn for a tarpaulin shipment? Trying to outshout the fruit and veg guy? Just some of the challenges of setting up tomorrow's Independent Label Market in London's Spitalfields The first time we tried to set up an indie label market was a nerve-wracking experience. I found myself hanging around Berwick Street in London at dawn waiting for 20 market stalls to arrive in confusing-looking pieces on a lorry that had been driven through the night from Derby. Would it turn up? And when it did, would indie bigwigs such as Domino's Laurence Bell or Bella ...

If there is one thing we love at The 405, it's vinyl; pretty limited edition vinyl even more so, and the Independent Label Market: Spitalfields has today revealed some of the treats that will be on offer come December 10th. Highlights include the only signed copy of Elton Johns ‘Are You Ready For Love’ on pink vinyl, test pressings of Mogwai’s ‘Come On Die Young’ as well as releases from Bo Ningen, Interpol and John Cale. In addition to the exclusive vinyl on offer to support those affected by the PIAS warehouse fire earlier this year there will ...

Rulo entrevista a These New Puritans

Sophisticated, sensitive and rather lovely, Look! Stranger’s debut single is a perfect soundtrack to those wistful Autumn afternoons we’re only just getting used to. Leaves, lust, and a fair bit of escapism; all put together in somebody’s attic (apparently), for an intimate and stylish sound. The Guardian have already dubbed them the “new Wild Beasts” (whom, in their less famous days, once put up a tent for this Rockfeedback scribe, so that can only be a good thing, if sweetness counts for much) – and certainly they share a refreshing sense of playfulness and wonder with the Kendall ...
