Weekly News Roundup feat. Team Ghost, Liverpool Sound City, Bo Ningen, Fawn Spots, Beach House, Suuns,

Team Ghost, our muchly missed former half of M83, and muchly loved rock/electronic/avant garde music have finally announced a date for their debut album, and judging from their past EPs and various YouTube videos, it's going to be a cracker! 'Rituals' is out on March 18th in Europe. Previously released single 'Dead Film Star' is lush and a taster of what to expect. 

Liverpool Sound City last year was one of the finest UK festivals we've ever attended. The host city compliments the choice of bands and displays an artful and DIY ethic lacking from a few of the similar sized festivals around at the moment. TFor this eyars event taking place from May 4-6, they've added a whole host of new bands to the line-up this week, including the likes of Savages, Alessi's Ark, Melody’s Echo Chamber to compliment an already full stack of talent. Full line-up HERE.

Bo Ningen have announced their UK headline dates for the year! Yeah! The dates will include their biggest London headline show to date London at Dingwalls in Camden on the 4^th April, prior to shows in Brighton and Sheffield on the 28^th and 30^th of March respectively.

Fawn Spots have released ace new track in the shape of the slow-building thrashathon, ‘National Anthem'. Listen below NOW!

Suuns' second full-length album, 'Images du Futur', was released by Secretly Canadian on 4th March 2013 in the UK.  We're loving it! It continues perfectly from their debut, and looks like it will on our stereo for a long time. Lead single 2020 is sublime.

Really ace new video from Beach House, featuring the devil from one our favourite US shows.

Fawn Spots release new track

With their split LP, 'Wedding Dress' out on 18 Feb, noisy dinge-poppers Fawn Spots have shared a track from the record, in the shape of the slow-building thrashathon, ‘National Anthem'. The band are on tour right now - you can catch them on the following date:
