The Raveonettes – I Wanna Be Adored (The Stone Roses Cover)

raveonettes1

The Raveonettes do their take on the madchester classic, “I Wanna Be Adored” by The Stone Roses. we think king monkey might be proud but you never know.. either way we’ve been waiting… and waiting to hear this cover for quite some time.

this Dr. Martens’ artists cover classic tracks from the last 50 years thing has produced pretty awesome results (get familiar here). Cass Bird and Molly Schiot direct The Raveonettes video for the track. and while we’re on the topic, check out our b3sci Manchester mixtape HERE.

The Sand Band – Set Me Free / Lover’s Spit

the-sand-band

gotta love a song that’s replay worthy… like 2 days straight now replay worthy. “Set Me Free” is previewed from The Sand Band’s forthcoming All Through The Night release. needless to say, we’re into it, and their take on Broken Social Scene’s “Lover’s Spit” is rather nice too.

word on the street is that Noel Gallagher has been on the prowl for a new backing band… enter Liverpool’s The Sand Band. one listen to “Set Me Free” and we get it. that plus degrees of connection to The Coral, and the fact Chris Sharrock’s son (Jay) is in the group, and it all comes together.

so the good news is that these guys are pretty awesome. the less-good news is that noel’s upcoming tour won’t be solo. guess that’s ok, we still have moments like this to hold on to…

Natural Self – Midnight Sun (Jeremy Sole Remix) / The Black Angels – Telephone / Breton – Penultimate

jeremy-sole2

Jeremy Sole adds his touch to “Midnight Sun” from Natural Self’s My Heart Beats Like A Drum LP. that, + some sultry vox from Elodie Rama = one pretty bad ass track.

off the heels of a collabo on UNKLE’s latest release, along with their recent announcement of a co-headlining tour with Black Mountain, and more, The Black Angels are stirring up some noise in 2010. “Telephone” is a great track previewed from their forthcoming Phosphene Dream LP expected September 14th.

another favorite from Breton‘s Sharing Notes EP. this EP is pretty boss, and not short on innovative ideas to back it up. one fan took special note to the group’s direction and put together this sick video for “Penultimate” (see below).

The Twilight Sad – The Wrong Car / Quadron – Slippin (Natural Self Remix) / PS I Love You – Facelove

the-twilight-sad

The Twilight Sad are back! “the Wrong Car” is the lead and title track previewed from their new EP, expected September 27 via Fat Cat Records. their sound? we would describe as the feel/dynamic of expansion/unfurling vs. collapse/narrowing/dwindling. we absolutely love it.

quadron-cover

UK’s Natural Self touch up the soulful and irresistibly melodic gem from Quadron‘s self-titled debut.

“Facelove” the once B-side to last year’s single “Diamond Rings” will also find itself on the group’s debut full-length, Meet Me at the Muster Station, due October 5 from Paper Bag Records. this track is guitar crazy done right, like almost everything ever glorious about alt-rock tones all in one take. it’s a big claim… but it is a pretty big song.

Arcade Fire – Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

“Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” is previewed from Arcade Fire’s new album The Suburbs, expected August 2 via Merge. word on the streets is that this record has gotten out of its cage… but we say do yourself a kindness, take this track as yet another taste of what’s to come, and get the whole thing once it’s ready. why? well to begin with, not only does it not disappoint as the next chapter in the the musical take of one of the most relevant bands of the last 10 years, but it also comes packing some killer collective artwork (see above). we dig.
