New HEALTH record available to pre-order

HEALTH

HEALTH

LA noise-rock-dance-whatever band HEALTH are currently gearing up for the release of their new album, the u-less Get Color on September 8th. Get Color is available to pre-order from Lovepump and the packages contain a T-shirt, tote bag, stickers, badges and, err, music – the album will be available to download by those who pre-order it from August 8th. If lead single ‘Die Slow’ is anything to go by, we’re in for a treat. The band certainly sound excited:

“The future of music is showcased on HEALTH’s noise opus GET COLOR. Two years in the works, it features future-world singles “DIE SLOW”, “WE ARE WATER”, and “NICE GIRLS” as well as noisy face-incinerators like “EAT FLESH” and “IN HEAT” and the quivering-sound balladry of “BEFORE TIGERS” and “IN VIOLET”. In short, 9 songs masterfully recorded and produced by HEALTH on analog tape; an album which sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before!”

Meanwhile, HEALTH have an extensive European and North American tour planned for the summer, with a show in London supporting Deerhunter at Koko on 24th August, where, presumably, concert-goers faces will be incinerated by noise.

February 2nd 2010
“I want to be on you”.  Ron Burgundy’s “immortal words” are those chosen by Mike Doughty to sell himself to the British public.
Doughty, formerly of alt-rock band Soul Coughing, is pretty popular in the States, but relatively unknown here.  My question referred to selling himself to us in the style of a dating [...]

Win tickets to see Casiokids in London

Casiokids.jpg

Norway's electro pop quintet CASIOKIDS play Camden’s Barfly on February 25, and we're giving away a pair of tickets.

After the release of a few stellar singles in 2009, 2010 is looking exciting for this lot. Their bouncy percussive basement music, eerie melody and distorted bass are the product of inspiration from such diverse sources as Paul Simon's 'Graceland', Ivor Cutler, King Tubby, Bob Hund, Cornelius And Fela Kuti.

To win tickets, just answer the following question:

Which label are CASIOKIDS signed to?
