Two of SOIWT's most-hearted London bands, A.Human and Erlend & The Carnival , have both recently leaked excellent new videos. A.Human's showcases a hilarious dance routine, a film so enjoyable that the insatiable pop-quality of the song, Take Me Home, a split-single with La Shark, is almost a bonus. Meanwhile, Map of an Englishman, the first spill from Erlend's second album Nightingale, sees the carnival heading to darker, but just as catchy, terrain - as reflected here.

Last night I was in Dalston thinking how nervous the eyelined guys and scarily hip chicks make me feel. Next time I'll seek out the company of locals A.HUMAN ; the (now) trio's wide-ranging songs, from dressing-gown rock melodies to kinky keyboard ditties to both combined, tell happily familiar tales of bittersweet worlds and sinister girls. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] No MP3s, as nothing from the new album, and post-sixpiece life, is available. They are playing White Heat [...]
it's these tuesdays that make you want to take chances. A Human - Come death and welcome ArpLine - Rope Now, Now Every Children - In my chest (acoustic version) The Jacobites - Silver street
Future-leaning disco pop kids from Leeds Heads We Dance are taking to the stage tonight in London for a headlining gig as part of the "Bloody Awful Poetry" night at Madame Jojo's. Doors are at 8pm, it'll cost you five...
A.Human plus support @ Bloody Awful Poetry, Madame Jojo's, Thursday 30th July, 2009 Bloody Awful Poetry return to the trendiest yet most louche of Soho haunts. The combination of live bands - tonight, the near - genius A.Human - the Confession Booth, the BAP Art Gallery and the world famous (seriously) Bloody Awful Poetry Competition - plus some surprises – is irresistible! Madame Jojo's, Thursday 30th July, 2009 Tonight's headliners: A.Human Dalston-based A.Human tell stories about the damned, [...]
You know those songs you here, that you've heard a million times, but have never worked out what they are? I know I've mused about this a gazillion times already but it happened again recently, when I heard a phylthy cover of a song I've heard many a time. I had very little to work on unfortunately; there's some "la-la-la"s, something about a desert and a horse, and I remember hearing the original at the end of that Friends episode where Joey goes to Las Vegas to pursue his big break as the lead in a movie but [...]
A. Human -'Third Hand Prophecy.' (Wall Of Sound) As I work through a large pile of stuff (sure I don't have to review everything I'm sent, but as I'm trying to get my own record company up and running, I think there's a sort of karma involved), it's inevitable that there are some albums that have kind of dropped to the bottom of the pile. And more fool me, because this debut from A.Human is fantastic. I've played it several times, and each time I do, I hear something else, another pleasant connection made, another great [...]
It figures that when I mentioned one of my favorite producers in yesterdays post ( Ocelot ), that I would wake up to a new remix of his over at our fellow Canadian blogger' site VoulesRandom . If you're familiar with Ocelot, this isn't much different from his usual heater styling. Some nice fidget-esque vocals with an unrelenting beat that drives the rock influences into your head and through your body to your dancing feet. I grew up listening to a lot of rock and metal music and Ocelot is always able to bring together the [...]
Ocelot and the Third Hand Prophecies of A. Human A. Human make creepy electro rock acoustic brilliance not unlike Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Ocelot is known for their fidgety vocal manipulations and overloaded but on point bass/mid attacks. They return with another massive remix with 'Pacey Singer'. This second single from London's alt electro outfit A. Human may cause seizures on the dancefloors if used in conjunction with a strobe light. I love the amalgamation of the rock lyricism, heavy as fuck beats and [...]
In theory, this is a great idea. Get a bunch of known alternative bands to do a cover version for CD1, then get them (and some record labels) to recommend a bunch of 'new' bands, and fill CD2 with songs by said recommendations. In theory. In the wider context, Independents Day 08 was a worldwide event raising money for the independent music community, as well as some charities, which included the largest ever auction of independent ...
dl: A.HUMAN - Pacey Singer ( Z - YSI ) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------- ------- A.Human are following up their first single, " Black Moon ," with "Pacey Singer," another song on the Nick Cave does Depeche Mode tip. This band seems to be rapidly developing into one of those bands to chase, appealing to all points of my fifteen odd years of music fandom in some way. They're brilliant [...]
Peu inspiré et assez fatigué d'avoir usé mes semelles dessus, confessons n'avoir pas grand chose à raconter sur les remixes qui suivent si ce n'est qu'ils sont signés d'habitués de ce blog et de louer leur extrême efficacité. Et de parier et espérer qu'ils seront sur bon nombre de playlists cet été. Dans le genre violent coup de soleil on a ces deux-là : Jukey feat. Sway "The Way We Go" (Herve Remix) Cheeky Cheeky & The Nosebleeds "Slow Kids" (The Shoes Remix) Et [...]
