Final post for this week again. Have yourself a great week-end. We'll be back Monday morning. Oh and congratulations to the European Union. Once again it has been proven today that all it takes to get the Nobel Peace Prize is to be a subservient puppet of US foreign policy. The EU via NATO is directly co-responsable for all the misery and all mass murders committed over the last years in the name of "humanitarian interventions" around the world, as mandated by US foreign policy, but the Nobel Prize idiots prefer to live in their own parallel [...]
Stream: Iko - “Kites” Their EP “Dazed And Confused” is out November 12.

Es wird Zeit für schönen neuen Shoegaze – die britische Band Daniel Land & The Modern Painters bringen bereits seit einigen Jahren leichte Folkeinflüsse zusammen mit flirrenden Gitarrenteppichen und schaffen mit dem neuen Song «Sleeping with the past» vom im Mai erscheinenden Album «The space between us» den Spagat zwischen Atmosphäre und Melancholie. Daniel Land kennt man übrigens auch von den Engineers, so dass nicht wundert, dass die Musik durchaus kompatibel klingt. Die neue Single «Eyes wide shut» [...]

Keeping their momentum, the band’s releasing their one-off single 'Hands Down' this Halloween.

Tweet We run an occasional series on SGTMT called Keep an eye on... . The series highlights artists that we think you should 'keep an eye on'. Complicated I know. Today we bring you Black Casino And The Ghost . They've only been going since 2010 when Andy Treacey (drummer) got bored of touring with Faithless and alongside Ariel Lerner & Elisa Zoot teamed up to form the latest indie rock three piece to hit our inbox.

Another dank summer Shoreditch eve, another bunch of Brooklynites, and another set of impeccably polished, proverbially pretty indie sheen as The Hundred In The Hands continue their splattering of London tunnels, independent record stores etc. Essentially, there's nothing truly essential in Jason Friedman's darting Rickenbacker stabs as his limbs weave in and out of shadows and spotlights, and the duo's lack of commitment to live instrumentation is at best intriguing. Bolstered heavily by backing track and drum machine, the lasting impression is one of hindered humbleness yet it's the beguiling beauty of Eleanore Everdell, both [...]
