Shows On Sale

Olga Zakharenko — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:15:06 +0000

Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit are heading two shows at Webster Hall this fall, one on October 24th and the second on October 25th. The group released their fourth studio album Pedestrian Verse in February of this year. The album takes the band in a new, and a bit more reserved, direction yet still manages to provide a robust spectrum of warm buzzy sounds and catchy lyrics. Key tracks include “Late March, Death March” and “The Woodpile“. Grab pre-sale for both shows today.

Charli XCX kicked some serious ass at her last set of shows in NYC, and the British beauty is making her rounds again. She’ll be headlining a show at Gramercy Theatre on September 21st. She released her highly anticipated sophomore album True Romance earlier this spring and has since been gaining serious momentum, booking bigger and bigger shows. This show absolutely will sell out, so grab pre-sale on Thursday at 10am.

HONORABLE MENTION:

Heaven, a NYC based psych dream pop group, will be headlining a show at The Mercury Lounge on August 1st. Pre-sale starts at noon today.

Portugal. The Man will be headlining a show at Terminal 5 on September 27th. Grab pre-sale at noon. This show will be killer.

METZ, “Get Off”

Peter Rittweger — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:26:16 +0000

METZ released my favorite album of 2012 so I get pretty pumped for anything even remotely resembling news from the band. Today they’ve released a new animated video for Get Off, a cut off their aforementioned uncompromising self-titled debut LP. It was directed by fellow Sub-Popper Chad VanGaalen.

Oneohtrix Point Never Releasing New LP

Peter Rittweger — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:29:44 +0000

UPDATE: Oneohtrix Point Never will celebrate the album’s release with a record release show at Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral in Brooklyn Heights on Tuesday, September 17. The show is being presented by (le) Poisson Rouge and Wordless Music. Should be the PERFECT setting for Lopatin’s dark experimental sounds.

——

Daniel Lopatin is moving his experimental electro to the big leagues, as Warp Records have announced that they’ll release the next Oneohtrix Point Never LP, R Plus Seven on October 1, 2013. Lopatin’s move to Warp will bring more than a change in distribution, as the press release advises that the record is a major departure from his previous work. While it will contain many of Lopatin’s familiar touchstones, his new music will come as close to traditional song structure as it ever has. The tracklist and album art is below.

01. Boring Angel
02. Americans
03. He She
04. Inside World
05. Zebra
06. Along
07. Problem Areas
08. Cryo
09. Still Life
10. Chrome Country

No Age “No Ground”

Carly McAlpine — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:23:43 +0000

Noise duo No Age recently, excitedly, announced An Object, their 4th studio album, to be released on Sub Pop August 20th. We’ve heard the first track “C’mon Stimmung” (also read album details and track listing at that link), and now NPR has an exclusive stream of second single “No Ground.”

Listen to it HERE. Unlike “C’mon Stimmung” it’s minimal: still loud but NO drums. Chanting, Ramones-esque vocals.

An Object will at some point be available for pre-order HERE.

Summer Camp Announce New Album

Peter Rittweger — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:54:03 +0000

It’s been a while since we heard anything from camp Summer Camp, but today they took to Facebook to announce the release of their second album, which will be self-titled and released just as everyone returns home from summer camp, on September 9 via Moshi Moshi/Co-Op. Check out the album teaser below, which features bits of a new song from the record, called FRESH.

Kimmel Premiere’s Funny ‘Tatum’ Music Video

Spadaque Volcimus — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:16:21 +0000

Generally speaking, most comic music videos nowadays, save for Weird Al Yankovic or the Lonely Island boys, are just overly thirsty attempts, by some advertising schmuck or PR wunderkind, trying to get us to buy their product through viral video sensationalism. The video for “I Wanna Channing All Over Your Tatum,” from the folks at Jimmy Kimmel Live, is most certainly one of those efforts. Which isn’t exactly a brain teaser to figure out; the song does feature Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, who have a movie to promote at the moment (a movie whose name I shall not mention here, cause I ain’t nobody’s corporate pawn!). But who cares, I’m a sucker for a catchy, stupid song that make one gaffaw at it’s utter wtf-ness. (Watch, sing along and giggle after the jump)

Although the song is about four months old, the music video premiered last night on ‘Kimmel.’

As a visual treat, a few famous, and sexy, faces pop up, including; Matt Damon, Miley Cyrus, and Olivia Munn. (Gabourey Sidibe’s in there too) One thing you won’t get though, is an explanation for what exactly “Channing” on someone’s Tatum is. That’s not for lack of trying on Tatums part either, he breaks it down in a rap for us. Alas, maybe we just don’t have the bandwidth to process the songs deep, hidden, philosophical meaning. Just kidding, it’s totally about c@#*%ing on someone’s ta#!%.

If you want to take a trip down the comedic song parody rabbit hole – and you know you want to, Alice – Lonely Island
dropped their new record, The Wack Album, on Monday. Check out the recent single “Go Kindergarten” feat. Robyn, below.

Also, the legendary Yankovic is currently on tour bringing that comedy and music fusion straight to yo’ grill fool. He’ll be on the east coast in late July at Symphony Hall in ATL, GA.

Kanye West Will Tour “Yeezus”

Peter Rittweger — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:53:34 +0000

If you missed him at Governor’s Ball a couple weeks ago, there’s a pretty high probability that you didn’t miss your only chance to hear Yeezus live in New York City this year.

As Consequence of Sound reports, Yeezus producer Mike Dean has confirmed that Kanye West will indeed tour behind the album. Dean would know, he’s going to be a member of the touring band.

We’ll have more on this as it develops.

Blouse Announce New LP, Share “No Shelter”

Portland dream poppers Blouse have just announced their new record Imperium, out September 17th on Captured Tracks. ”No Shelter” is the first single. I’m getting rockified “California Dreamin” vibes, I don’t know about you. Their signature dreaminess is still evident but my first thought was definitely “Whoa, ’60s pop.” Check it out:
