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...
Kitsune Club Summer Hits
It’s Monday. And you need to cheer the fuck up. This is something from last week that I’ve saved until the right moment to publish. Yeah you’ll like this one, it’s an easy winner, something to soothe that weekend comedown you still havent quite got rid off. Kitsune‘s got their Summer Hits comp out and...
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...
Is Tropical – The Greeks (Free Download)
Kitsune is giving away the new single by Is Tropical, 2 months ahead of their June 13th debut album release. The Greeks is a jaunty pop track, that would have been easily shelved as another unimaginative and predictable output by another same-ish London band had it not been for the synth stabs punctuating perfectly and saved...
LOGO – BAAB
LOGO produced these 2 tracks below a while back and I waited to hear more from them. Now this new masterpiece arrives in my inbox courtesy of Kitsune yesterday and I got reminded why I was so obsessed with these Parisians in the first place. This new one’s called BAAB and it has their signature...
Is Tropical
Just in time for this one: London’s masked trio, Is Tropical is heading back up north again tomorrow at Nation of Shopkeepers in Leeds and what better day to announce their debut single than now. South Pacific will be released via Kitsune come November 22nd and comes ready with remixed versions and all that. To...
LOGO – La Vie Moderne (French Fries & Tony Senghore Remix feat. PiuPiu)
I first featured Logo at the start of last month, completely possessed by their sound, so much so that the post written seemed druggy. Then I got this in the inbox last week but didnt get a chance to write about this cos I was on holiday, at the beach, away from computers. Coming back...
Logo
Logo embodies the kind of off-handed, cannot give-a-shit attitude not unlike the dumb obnoxiousness of punk, but more like some kind of early Kierkegaard discourse. It’s not because they cannot be arsed with anything or that their music is not good, but rather, a philosophical leaning towards doing something because it is there to be...
Florrie (KITSUNE x PONYSTEP)
I got an email from Beataucue about a heads up on their remix of Florrie’s track for the Kitsune / Ponystep compilation mixed by Jerry Bouthier (one half of JBAG) that’s gonna come out in the UK on July 5th, but I’m more impressed with Florrie to be honest. Not just another London scenekid, Florrie...
Le Corps Mince de Françoise
Kitsune gave Bad Fotography the heads up on Le Corps Mince de Françoise just last week through one of their newsletters thingys. To be honest, I’ve never heard of these quirky Finnish girls with a french band name before, thought it wouldn’t kill me to check their video out, and boy, its a real gem....
Kitsune Party, Nation Of Shopkeepers, Leeds, 23/10/09
Last night I went to the Kitsune party at Nation of Shopkeepers. Delphic and Two Door Cinema Club were on the bill – it looked like it was going to be a night of epic proportions – ish. For one, I made the mistake of coming late, missed Two Door Cinema Club and had to...
Two Door Cinema Club
[Delphic - This Momentary] Such a brilliant video, presumably shot in somewhere like Ukraine, where masses of pre-war abandoned buildings still remain intact. Delphic‘s This Momentary makes an apt soundtrack – tense high treble bass build-up and then dissipates. Certainly Manchester’s answer to a less annoying the Whip, more eloquent and then some. (Remember how...
