Weekly News Roundup w/ CocoRosie, Gum, Deerhunter, M83, Dirty Beaches, No Joy, The Besnard Lakes and more!


Pretty stoked to hear that CocoRosie are back and will be releasing their fifth studio album, Tales of a Grass Widow, on May 27.  Taken from their forthcoming release, eerie, off-kilter After the Afterlife, is a treat in weird, fairytale melancholia. Have a listen:


Deerhunter has dropped a video of the title track 'Monomania' from their upcoming album release. It's an upbeat, grungy, jangley number - so we clearly love it. 


One of our favourite new bands Gum who we interviewed over Xmas have released their first official video. Check it! They also play 333 Mother Bar on May 11th. 


M83 has released a movie soundtrack for the latest Tom Cruise film Oblivion - isn't life great sometimes?



Dirty Beaches has unveiled new track Landscapes in the Mist. They're releasing a double, yes double, LP pretty soon, entitled: Drifters/Love is the Devil. 



No Joy are back in the game and releasing Wait to Pleasure on 22 April. Booyakasha! In the meantime, check out track Hare Tarot Lies; your day will win:



Au.ra - our New Band of the Week a while back, has released a new video for Pyramid:



Aussie grunge-poppers, Scott and Charlene's Wedding has announced a brand new full length record, due out in July on Fire Records. They've got a bunch of European dates coming up, including one with Upset the Rhythm on 6 July. 



Probably the best band from Canada ever, The Besnard Lakes, have their new album, Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO, streaming in full over at Pitchfork. Click through on the below image of their album artwork to listen.

The Field have remixed At The Drive In's One Armed Scissor! Need we say more.

New Band of the Week - 12/12/11 - WALLS

Not so much our newest band we've featured, but I feel compelled to give these guys our Band of the Week after they blew me away as the support band for The Field last Thursday.

WALLS are an incredible blissed out cut of shoegazed laden sonically challenging electronica, with some mean beats to get your groove on to. Veering towards a dancier sound, this duo pull influences from everywhere apparently, from everything to Mogwai to Daft Punk. Hints of early M83 lie scattered amongst the shards of echoey guitars and industrial landscapes.

 Again like all my favourite artists, they find a way to pull a plethora of sounds together to create real substance and real melody within the walls of sound they create (mind the pun). This is demonstrated rather well on their track Heat Gaze.



The future looks bright for WALLS. Rave reviews follow their every release, and their live show, as referred to earlier, is nothing less than ear bleedingly brilliant.
