Bjork Concocts New "Earth Intruders" Single
Front page photo by Ashley WilliamsonAh, now this is the kind of Björk story we like to report. Nary a torn shirt in sight. Just a remix-laden single for "Earth Intruders", the thunderous leadoff track from last spring's Volta. It's available from One Little Indian, who will ship the "double pack" by February 4.
And what an early Valentine's Day gift it'll be! You and/or your sweetie can nab the heavyweight vinyl 12" version featuring four remixes of "Earth Intruders" from the likes of Spank Rock's Armani XXXchange, Jimmy Douglas, Lexx, and Mark Stent or the CD version, featuring all that plus a radio edit of the Lexx mix and a DVD of the Michel Ocelot-directed clip for the song. Who needs the roses and chocolate when you've got a blippy anthem of interplanetary invasion?
One Little Indian is only making up 10,000 of these sets, so you'd better switch your intrusion target to dad's wallet, and pronto. And, hey, while you're at it, why not score yourself some plane tickets to any one of the exotic locales Björk will be playing over the next few months? I won't tell if you won't. [MORE...]
Radiohead Plan In-Store Webcast Tonight
Our Radiohead radars are going all blippity-bloop this morning, which can only mean one thing: Thom Yorke and his cronies are up to something yet again.This time our sources have determined that the In Rainbows operatives are planning another webcast, following hot on the heels of that quite amusing Thumbs Down dissemination and their New Year's treat, Scotch Mist. The "Rough Trade East" broadcast, as we'll code name it, will indeed be filmed at the new-ish Brick Lane location of the Rough Trade record shoppe in London. Look for it "round about 8" UK time tonight on Radiohead.tv. Say, that's mighty soon!
The Radiohead transmission we've intercepted indicates the band will "play a short set of In Rainbows material." Those in the vicinity of Rough Trade East are advised to leave their computers immediately and line up in the vain hope of securing admission to this evening's free in-store performance (also set to commence at eight UK time). For detailed, confidential documents pertaining to this occurrence, please consult this.
Still under surveillance: those cities Radiohead are expected to infiltrate on tour, the studios of "Later... With Jools Holland", and Zane Lowe's radio dispatches. [MORE...]
These New Puritans Bring Pyramid Across the Pond
Also prep singles, line up shows
Photo by Dean Chalkley
To our British readers, there's nothing particularly new about These New Puritans' Beat Pyramid, which Angular issued in the UK in November. UPDATE: THE ALBUM ISN'T OUT IN THE UK UNTIL FEBRUARY 4. But, as promised, Domino will deliver the band's full-length debut March 18 in North America. The disc, produced by occasional Wire/Liars knob-turner Gareth Jones, falls in line with the knotty, trance-inducing post-punk of the aforementioned mavericks' early works.
But for Puritans fans on either side of the pond, there's plenty of New stuff to go around. Domino will issue a 12" single for the recently-Forkcasted "Navigate, Navigate"-- a fifteen-minute track head Puritan Jack Barnett crafted as the soundtrack to the runway show for Hedi Slimane's Dior Homme Autumn '07 collection-- on February 5. The single will come backed with a remix from DFA co-owner Tim Goldsworthy's the Loving Hand project. UK audiences, meanwhile, will be treated to a single for Beat Pyramid's "Elvis" January 21 February 11 from Angular. That arrives on both 7" and CD.
And Puritanical sorts the world over can cast off their rigid value systems in favor of rock'n'roll, as the Puritans are touring. They'll stick to the UK in large part, but they plan to join the sunburnt sorts at South by Southwest as well. [MORE...]
Good Shoes Issue Think Before You Speak in the States
British sensations Good Shoes felt no need to put any additional shine on their rollicking debut, Think Before You Speak, in the near-year that's passed since its initial UK release and now. Why would they when it already kicks so hard?So expect the same effective vocal affectations, the same bright and bouncy guitar rock, and the same high quality footwear at low low prices March 18, when Brille issues Good Shoes' Think Before You Speak in the U.S.
These Good Shoes are no loafers, what with a couple of sturdy new tour dates to their name later this month in the UK. [MORE...]
Decemberists' Colin Meloy Readies Live Solo Album
Includes covers, unreleased songs, stage banter
Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy has released tour-only EPs where he Sings Morrissey and Sings Shirley Collins, but what we really want is for him to sing himself-- to remember his spirit, as Oprah would say. He does it all the time in the Decemberists, and he's done it all by his lonesome on his solo acoustic tours. Meloy's self-singing on his 2006 solo acoustic tour is documented on Colin Meloy Sings Live!, which Kill Rock Stars will release April 8 on CD and gatefold double LP.
Included on Sings Live! are songs from Meloy's first band, Tarkio, as well as cuts from every Decemberists full-length pre-The Crane Wife. There is also a tune from the 2006 EP Picaresqueties, two previously unreleased originals ("Dracula's Daughter" and "Wonder"), bits of covers of songs by the Smiths, R.E.M., Pink Floyd, and Fleetwood Mac, and a traditional folk song in debt to Shirley Collins' arrangement.
Squished in between all these goodies are stage banter interludes.
Meloy will head out on another solo acoustic tour this spring, and before then, the Decemberists have those four previously reported dates in their native Pacific Northwest. [MORE...]
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Prep New LP
The long-winded globetrotters in Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin have announced the details of Pershing, their second album and first as members of Polyvinyl's roster (though the label already reissued the band's debut, Broom).
Pershing is an 11-song set of indie pop tunes due out April 8, and the band will precede its release with a Midwestern mini-tour and an appearance at SXSW in March. A full U.S. tour is planned for the spring, but for now, the live fun starts January 25 in Columbia, Missouri.
Check out "Glue Girls", the lead off track from Pershing, available for download below. [MORE...]
Fiery Furnaces Hold Caucus to Name Next LP
"The Mobilization Movement needs to be flipped over onto your record player"
And so, our Furnaces have announced an "On-Line Non-Binding Caucus to Determine the Fiery Furnaces' Next Album". The setup is fairly simple: on their website, the Furnaces have proposed eight album titles with accompanying descriptions and split them into red and blue candidates. Will you choose Sweetheart and Co., with found material as lyrics and "Gershwin imitations as the tunes and changes"? Or maybe Catamite Corner, a disc jam-packed with tracks "like 'Kashmir', but faster, with real strings, and different sorts of lyrics"? The discs, as you can imagine, all sound weird and difficult on the page-- and somehow, it's not impossible to imagine the Furnaces pulling off each and every one.
So, uh, how do we vote? The Furnaces urge us to "go stand over in the corner of the Internet next to the album of your choice" and, if so moved, "stomp your feet and chant your candidate's name." We're guessing that means you may have an impact on the name of the next Fiery Furnaces LP (which, barring a massive write-in effort, apparently won't be called Back to Begamo after all) by weighing in on the comments section of the post. As the Furnaces urge, "Voice of the People-ize!"
As with the general election, we'll let that spot of weirdness hash itself out while we busy ourselves reminding you about Fiery Furnaces tour dates. [MORE...]
Clipse, LSF, Man Man, Portishead Do Primavera Fest
Plus: Okkervil River, Silver Jews, Deerhunter, Mission of Burma, Six Organs, Eric’s Trip
Other confirmed acts include the Shipping News, Scout Niblett, Pissed Jeans, Edan & MC Dagha, Fuck Buttons, MV & EE With the Golden Road, Holly Golightly & the Brokeoffs, Model 500, and the Felice Brothers. Our pals at All Tomorrow's Parties are sponsoring a portion of the festivities, which pop off May 29-31 at Barcelona, Spain's Parc del Fòrum.
And well, folks, it's really happening. Big opens April 10 at Atlanta's Fox Theatre and will feature the man born Antwan Patton moving his body about artistically alongside members of his Purple Ribbon Entertainment troupe and the Ballet. Act fast though; the extravaganza of sound and motion only runs for six performances and closes April 13.
According to NME.com (UPDATE: via Spin magazine), the production will feature a full live band, with musical selections from the Outkast catalog and Big Boi's own forthcoming solo album. There's also talk of taking Big, which was choreographed by Lauri Stallings, over to Europe later in 2008.
Fuck Buttons Start Horrrsing Around on LP, Tour
We're still learning a lot about Fuck Buttons, the Bristol duo with but a few tunes and more than several surprisingly rabid fans to their (filthy!) name. And all that without an album (seems like that's becoming a trend these days). But we'll all play catch up real quick-like with these fornication fasteners March 18 when ATP Recordings releases Fuck Buttons' full-length debut, Street Horrrsing.
The band will have plenty of chances to get into their Horrrs-play on a ton of forthcoming tour dates, primarily with Caribou. They'll land fairly close to home at May's ATP vs. Pitchfork festival before heading Barcelona way to Primavera Sound. [MORE...]
M.I.A. Visits Liberia for Television Show
Episode to air in March
In the show-- available right now at "4Real"'s website-- M.I.A. meets activist and Youth Action International founder Kimmie Weeks and goes on a tour of his country. She also speaks with Liberian president Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, drops in on Liberian children in an art class, and checks out one of Weeks' YAI programs.
Through his work with Youth Action International, Weeks seeks to rebuild war-torn African communities. A particular goal for Liberia is the rehabilitation of the thousands of child soldiers conscripted during the nation's horrific civil war (1989-1996) and the despotic rule of previous leader Charles Taylor.
Past "4Real" episodes have highlighted spots across the globe and featured such musical guests as Mos Def and Flea. The latest season, including the M.I.A. episode, airs on MTV Canada, Canada's CTV, and National Geographic International channels (outside the U.S., UK, and Canada) this March. The series is available online as well.
Black Mountain Add Bonus Disc to In the Future
Just when you thought Black Mountain couldn't cram another jam into the deep grooves of the gargantuan In the Future, they go and do something like this. Jagjaguwar will release a limited edition 2XCD version of In the Future that crams three tracks into the fold: "Bastards of Light" and "Thirteen Walls" from this fall's tour 12", and "Black Cat". I can't speak for "Black Cat", but sound-wise, the other two could've easily fit on In the Future. Or, uh, a disc conveniently affixed to In the Future. Either way!The band also plan to bring the Future kicking and screaming into the present, as anyone who pre-orders any edition of In the Future will get an MP3 download of the record before it hits shelves on January 22. (Pssst, if you go to Black Mountain's MySpace page, you can check out the whole of In the Future streaming right this moment. No foolin'!)
Black Mountain will make their national television debut on the Conan O'Brien program February 21. Beyond that, they're touring with some fine, fine bands over the coming months. Full dates after the jump, with a few new Midwestern additions since our last report. [MORE...]
