new from Fenech-Soler, “lies” drops official this November 2. catch’em on tour with Groove Aramada if you can.. but if you’re like us and you can’t because you don’t live in the UK… then we’re TOTALLY FEELIN YOU! this track comes with an absolutely KILLER melody! can we say that enough? well, we’ll repeat (while we get down!) KILLER MELODY! KILLER MELODY! yeah! blahblahindie-electro with a tune that clearly sets these guys in the company of rising talent. The Phantom Revenge, Alex Metric and Tom Staar also lend their paws in remixes on the upcoming release. dig it dec..
“You Can Tell It To Everybody”, new from Air’s Love 2 LP released yesterday, sounds eerily (or coincidentally? or monotonously?) similar to the duo’s previous releases; ie: ethereal atmospheres , whimsical arrangements and a “delicate” vocal delivery. it does what Air do best, dig it dec
from their up and coming release 3, frenchies Nouvelle Vague enlist the pipes of the king bunnyman himself for a remake of the Bunnymen classic “All My Colours”. McCulloch’s vox add a stunning compliment to the delicate, loungy, bossa nova atmosphere that Nouvelle Vague create so well. we’re digging it, and feel the Vauge are one of the few acts that can actually do the “covers” thing right.
the new album also features tracks by the Sex Pistols, Soft Cell, Talking Heads, The Police and more. other collaborations include Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore, Terry Hall of The Specials and Funboy Three, and Barry Adamson (Magazine, Buzzcocks and Nick Cave to name a few). 3 drops in the U.S. via Peacefrog on Oct. 20.
everything everything are an exciting new band emerging from the manchester scene. fusing pop-conscious r&b, avant-garde experimental and classic madchester, the band pay no mind to traditional genre boundaries! everything everything are one ambitious bunch, but to the band’s credit, they seem to temper that ambition with at least an equal tonnage of wit. we’re right psyched on ee.’s potential, and for now the smokin’ chorus on “MY KZ YR BF” will hold us over until we’re able to get our grimy yank paws on an official full length debut. the “MY KZ YR BK” single is available on download & 7″ oct. 5, 09.
straight from the tracks of damon albarn’s studio 13, the horrors new single “Whole New Way” was originally a Japan only b-side release. re-recording it was definitely a good idea, the tune is clearly more than a b-side. it shines a solid pop track with the sort of creepy feel-good dance vibes that could only come from the horrors… and well quite a few other bands. it totally makes me think of the “i’d fuck me” scene from silence of the lambs too. the single drops november 2 via XL, and the track is available to stream on their website right now.. what could you possibly be waiting for??
“Rise From the Shadows” is new off Alberta Cross’ debut LP The Broken Side of Time, which officially drops tomorrow (available now for digital download on their website). it’s yet another killer track from these guys.. epic and mid-tempo rock done right. and from what we’ve heard thus far, this debut just may be borderline incredible. “can you feel it??”! dig
“Heart of Stone” is off The Raveonettes forthcoming LP In and Out of Control dropping early october. it showcases The Raveonettes doing what they do best.. throw-back minimal rock and roll with infectious riffs, dark melodies, harmonies and killer songssongssongs! “last dance” is dec too. dig..
“we share the same skies” has marr’s signature all over it. sure blahjohnny.blahblahmarr, but gotta hand it to the man.. he’s a barnacle when it comes to a good project. since his days with morrissey and co. he’s added his influence to projects with Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, Beck, Oasis, The Pretenders, Bernard Sumner, and Black Grape to name a few, in addition to current status as official member of Modest Mouse and now The Cribs. And until The Smiths get back together, which most likely won’t happen unless i win the lottery and offer them all my money, his work here with The Cribs will definitely suffice..
The Cribs fourth studio LP dropped last week in the UK and it will have an “official” US release mid-November (available now for download). it showcases Jarmen bros. and co. in fine form. “Cheat On Me” really grows. they’ll be in NY and LA for 3 days amidst their current tour schedule.. can’t, won’t, must-not miss them
this song makes me want to break stuff. basically.. eddy current = aussie ruckus = rock and roll. off their new sophomore album Primary Colours. we couldn’t be more pleased to find out that they formed during a random jam session at a vinyl pressing factory company Christmas party. and just in case you were wondering, as their video proves.. there’s not too many things more punk rock than a beach party
so who gave editors the synthesizer?? really.. Editors’ new single “Papillon” is off their 3rd LP In This Light and On This Evening, and is without a doubt a departure from both The Back Room and An End Has a Start. the track propels Editors into the heavy synth and dance beat territory, which is yet to prove welcoming or not. Maybe a new sound will prove some magic as heard on The Back Room. maybe I’ll run into the band at a dive bar 80’s dance party. and maybe they’ll be partying with depeche mode… while interpol watches jealously in a corner?
as much as we’ve grown to hate the term lo-fi for all of it’s contrived and consequently lo-quality contributions to the indie-music world, London’s Trailer Trash Tracys release “Candy Girl”, a solid yet such sounding new single on a double A-Side with “You Wish You Were Red” this September 14th. the song’s minimal hook latent arrangements showcase it’s most important strength… an incredible melody that sits perfectly within a sensible pop song.. excited for more to come from these guys
“Come To Grief” is the first single off The Molotovs debut “mini” LP And The Heads Did Roll, due September 21 via Fierce Panda. these London lads make use of a punchy brass section to counter the track’s ironically positive-toned melancholy refrain. “City’s Guest” is unique in it’s own right as well, with one of our favorite vocal arrangements of ‘09. basically The Molotovs are both everything and nothing else happening in the indie rock world, with some of the best written songs we’ve heard yet this year..
Yourself and The Air are heading out on tour again in September and will be making their way to MusicFest Northwest in Portland, MidPoint Music Fest in Cincinnati and more… including LAs beloved Knitting factory 9/10. Which we will in fact be at, but only after we snap our picture out front with big bird and rock that step circuit class upstairs at la fitness. concert venues + shopping complexes = why the fuck not
b3science had the chance to chat with this up and coming group from Chi-town not too long ago, hot off the heels of their daytrotter session. they do it proper. check it

( UPDATE: recently got our paws on the original track as well )
