El próximo 28 de junio nuestros amigos de Valle Eléctrico de Madrid, celebrarán su segundo aniversario haciendo lo que mejor saben hacer: fiestas con la escena local, esta vez en tres distintos recintos de Malasaña al mismo tiempo, una especie de SXSW. La cereza del pastel es una Pelea de Gatos, será un hermoso vinilo rosa de 7" en el que vendrá de un lado dos temas "Dropsong" y "Serotonina" de un supergrupo de la escena madrileña, y del otro lado el nuevo tema de los daneses Battlekat "Flow". Enjoy.
Originally written by Prince in the early eighties for his funk band The Family and then propelled to international fame by Irish priest Sinead O'Connor, "Nothing Compares 2 U" is still looking pretty hot at 30, and her latest makeover comes courtesy of the Copenhagen band Battlekat . The cover, propelled forward by a steady uptempo beat, begins with a burst of unrelenting M83-style synth and then breaks into a slanting dissonance and space-goblin vocal track that will make you wonder if Battlekat - whose SoundCloud page front-loads a melancholy missive that begins with "It's [...]
If this is your first time hearing Copenhagen's Battlekat and you like what you hear, bad news: it sounds like they're about to end things. But before you get emo over the loss of a band you just met, listen to their new song—the glitchy, feral cover of Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U." It has a [...]
In 2011 I had a fantastic year with a number of my "tips" producing albums which ended up amongst my favourites of the year (as well as a couple that split up and a few that were "tipped" too soon and albums that didn't materialise). I think it was safe to say I was going to struggle to match those results this time around, so now twelve months on from my picks for 2012, I'll revisit the year of my picks and find out if my Mystic Meg career has come to an end before it's even started... Below is [...]
Battlekat nos presenta el video de su nuevo sencillo "Rituals That Make The Rain Fall" el primer track de su nuevo EP Ocean/Wave/Form que estará saliendo próximamente. Enjoy.
Having spent pretty much all of 2012 working on new material, Copenhagen's Battlekat make a welcome return today with a brand new song - the epic seven minute 'Rituals That Make The Rain Fall'. Now augmented with a live drummer, the new clip features the group recording the track live in a darkened studio and acts as the lead single from the forthcoming debut album OCEAN / WAVE / FORM .

Battlekat : The Pain (Best Fit Session) - Video/MP3 MP3
TLOBF invited Danish Nordic-pop quartet Battlekat (formerly Just A Number 05272011) over in London and got them to play this stellar version of The Pain .
I almost didn't post this (there is an obvious element of repetition between this and my favourite albums of the year) but as it was half finished decided to see it through, posting the first half now and the second half a little later today... the following are twenty five of (let's face it there were a lot more than 25 great songs this year) my favourite tracks of the year, not specifically displayed in order, impossible task! 25. Wild Flag - Future Crimes Posted 7th September : "A guitar [...]
Following from my review of my 'Tips for 2011', the next five posts are going to be my '15 Tips for 2012' listed alphabetically. As with last years posts, my tips aren't necessarily fifteen acts I'm tipping for stardom (though a few perhaps will hit the mainstream) but are fifteen of (I could have picked more) the new acts (my only criteria to be in this list is that the artist cannot have released an LP previously) that I believe will offer some of the best releases of the forthcoming year, without further rambling, straight on to part one; [...]
So this is Christmas (well, the correct month at least so its sense of overwhelming schmaltz is nigh) and what have you done you say? Well, we've compiled a few lists along with everyone else equipped with online landfill where whimsical thoughts, Soundcloud links, transcribed scribbles and the like are to be dumped. Here are the tracks that made 2011 tick, tock, rawk, et cetera: from cacophonous shoegaze and the tropical frenzy of Zun Zun Egui all straight outta Bristol, to independent pop impeccability from Florrie and of course The Look, consider this a chart of sorts. If you'll be [...]
Praise be to all things holy that we've Rich Thane, of course for offering up The Line Of Best Fit but primarily for establishing Ja Ja Ja , a club night established in order to extravagantly celebrate the best ear candy Scandinavia and its neighbouring isles and distant outreaches have to unleash upon the unsuspecting clientele of North London. As such, certain cries of rejoice should also be reserved for all things both musical and Nordic of which tonight, at The Lexington, we're treated to three: much has rightly been made of Copenhagen headliners Battlekat , [...]
With their first live UK appearance set for this Sunday at SWN Festival as part of The Line of Best Fit’s stage at the Cardiff Arts Institute, Danish noir-pop quartet Battlekat have revealed two new tracks. Having previously emerged as a live recording from Roskilde, ‘Mother Nature’ is a sparsely layered, glitchy tapestry of beats while ‘All The Useless Things’ finds itself in richer textured territory. All The Useless Things by Battlekat Mother Nature by Battlekat
Battlekat, undoubtedly one of Scandinavia's premier exports right now, debuted two new songs via the ever-great No Modest Bear blog. Two, more than brilliant songs, that will have you drawn ever deeper into their frantic, dark electro-pop world. "Mother Nature" has the band channelling the heights of The Knife as the dark, dank sounds reverberate against enticing vocals, incredibly compelling. Second track, "All The Useless Things" is here presented as a Radio Edit, and this contained burst of such an energetic, hyperactive sound categorically sucks you in. Check them out below. STREAM : Battlekat - [...]
Anyone interested in some new music from Battlekat? Yes, you at the back, and you, oh, and you. Well here you bloody go. Here're two tracks from the Danish electro pop outfit. Enjoy.
