A Place To Bury Strangers
Dead Oceans, an independent record label from Austin is giving away the School of Seven Bells‘ remix of So Far Away by A Place To Bury Strangers. A breathy and mellower version of the original, the addition of drum machines and synth accentuates the moody athmosphere. The remix also brings the heavily feedback guitar closer...

Death Rattle
My favorite band Los, who became That Mouth, have split up in September and I didn’t even know about it until recently, when I saw this feed on my facebook for this new band called Death Rattle. I’ve had the great privelage of organizing a gig with them on the bill last year and am...
Chocolate Robots
If you caught a whiff of the Strokes with this and felt like it’s an American version of the Libertines, then you’re not alone. I kinda like the shambolicness of it all and the story about this band is actually more than meets the eye (and quite impressive.) Chocolate Robots is Mike, Marco and Mutt...
School of Seven Bells – The Night
Yeah, that’s the new School of Seven Bells line up. My first thought was, what happened to Claudia? And then I remembered she left like, last year. :( Sad times. Vagrant has just hit us up with this brand new track, The Night from the upcoming album Ghostory and their signature dreamy harmonies that I...
Yacht – I Walked Alone (Larry Gus Remix)
I have a love / hate thing with Yacht. I don’t exactly why. The first time I was introduced to this guy, I convinced myself that I didnt get it: all that overblown, self important art school fluff. He’s probably single-handedly started the hipster-y triangle craze. Wasn’t really a fan of The Blow either. It’s...
NEW VIDEO: Housse de Racket – Chateau
Housse de Racket‘s new album, Alesia is out now in the states and you’ve probably already seen the video for the track Roman on the NME. New single Chateau just been given the video treatment by none other than Sanghon Kim, the fine art graphic designer who did the album’s cover. Watch it – it’ll...
Cosmo Black
A rather straight to the point e-mail from Australia’s Cosmo Black: “I got my heartbroken this week. Between hangovers I put together a track. Uncleared samples so might not be able to release it (it didn’t get her back so maybe it’s not good enough anyway)” [Cosmo Black - We Drink To The Sound of...

The Glaswegian band will also digitally release a single for the last time on 7th November. It’s called Think & Feel taken from their 2nd album, There Is A Way, produced by Ross...
RBMA: Iron & Wine
Firstly, my apologies, and many of them for not having written anything for a while. If there are any personal grievances please get in contact with me and I’ll happily make amends, through manual labour, washing dishes, dog walking, hair pruning, under arm tickling……whatever really. The point being I feel bad, the summer ran away...
In Photos: Crosswave 2nd September, Leeds, Bar Room Bar
Last Friday was just fucking incredible. Crosswave, which is our clubnight that we co-organize with the guys from Deathray was absolutely massive. For one night, we transformed the entire upstairs bit of Bar Room Bar in Leeds into a dark, smoky lair with our smoke machines, lasers and visuals and pump out the kind of...
The Touch – Sermon
Sometimes I battle with myself. The self that you see and the self that hides inside my head. We talk sometimes, but his voice is so quiet that by the time it reaches my lips I can only sigh. Do you want to talk about it? Lets talk about it. Conflict. And fear, like the...
