Click image to download full album Song: Dark Captain Light Captain - "Dark Captain Light Captain - " What's so good? I tend to look for songs that create a unique, entrancing atmosphere, and Hatchback's remix of "Questions" from Dark Captain Light Captain pulls this off with flying colors. It's one of those tracks that makes me forget about all of the stressful events in my life and allows me to focus on beautiful things that make me feel [...]
You could be forgiven for thinking we'd gone and forgotten about you, O!IW fans. But don't be afraid, for we have some pretty exciting news about what we have planned for the next couple of months. See below.... JANUARY 20TH O!IW's THIRD BIRTHDAY - OLD QUEENS HEAD - DARK CAPTAIN, LIGHT CAPTAIN, PROFESSOR PENGUIN + MORE TBA Yes, that's right, WE ARE THREE YEARS OLD!! Hard to believe that we're still turning up on a monthly basis at the Old Queens Head, drinking too much [...]
How about this, almost 10 minutes of pure ambience and by the end I am clamouring for more. The similarities with hugger favs Burning Codes drew us in and from there it was always going to be true love. And don't let the soft focus lead you astray there are even some curse words included! 'Questions' first appeared on the London collective's 'Miracle Kicker' LP last year and it is presented here in remix form by swirlymeister Sam Grawe (aka Hatchback ). I just adore the changing vocal intonation on this tune, so simple yet so affecting. [...]

I just received a message from fellow blogger Chris that his blog Music Of The Moment had – without notice and explanation – been deleted by blogger . Now that's a drastic move and one I simply cannot understand! First of all I've met Chris in person, and know he's a true music fan and everything he's done with and written in the blog has been for the love of music. Furthermore he's one of the few remaining loyalists, who spend a rather large sum every year [...]

DARK CAPTAIN LIGHT CAPTAIN RELEASE REMIX EP HATCHBACK'S REMIX OF " QUESTIONS ," AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD East London group Dark Captain Light Captain spawned a surprise hit in the US with their release of their full-length debut, Miracle Kicker, in fall of last year. The album received loads of glowing reviews and a place in some surprising end-of-year charts. Expanding to a six-piece live machine, they toured all over the UK before settling down for a well earned rest. Now the band is releasing a digital-only Remix EP, out now on UK label LOAF, and [...]
i'm not one of these people that reads great significance into dates like today's, but that doesn't mean i don't get a small thrill from it. plus it makes for a convenient mixtape title. i've been listening to lots of britpop lately for some reason, perhaps i'm homesick/nostaligic. but i've steered clear of that for this - if you like that kind of thing then you've probably got it, right? as usual, this is a pretty random mix of current listens, old & new... ::: years of rice and salt - plankton ::: the cravats - [...]
Great mini-mix from Milky Disco's Jon Tye. Keep an eye out for their new compilation out soon - sounds interesting. "There are tracks on the album that some people wouldn't consider 'disco' at all – but that's the point. When disco started, it was wide open, with people like David Mancuso playing everything from Van Morrison's Astral Weeks to Buddhist chants and Edgar Winter." Milky-Disco - Dummy Mix [...]

I think that Dark Captain Light Captain is going to be one of the buzz bands at this year's South By Southwest. Their debut LP Miracle Kicker was one of my favorite albums of 2008. The band, from East London, specializes in haunting, melodic folk-rock accompanied by electronic beats. Lead singer Dan Carney's voice reminds me of Robin Pecknold of the Fleet Foxes and Stephen Stills. They are playing 3/18-3/21. Shows TBA.

I Butcher Boy tornano sulle scene con un nuovo album "React Or Die", in uscita ad aprile per l'etichetta londinese How Does It Feel To Be Loved. L'album è un autentico gioiello, che delizierà i palati degli amanti delle sonorità indie pop (ascoltate le meravigliose "A Better Ghost" o "This Kiss Will Marru Us" e mi direte) e dei testi poetici à la Smiths. E' possibile acquistare l'album sin da ora sul sito dell'etichetta , in anticipo sulla data di uscita ufficiale. Se volete invece aspettare l'uscita dell'album nei negozi (come suona vecchia questa frase..), potete [...]

Gig Of The Week 1: Underage Club @ Scala Oh, to be young again! Under 18 special featuring some of 2008's best artists, and some great picks for the coming year. Headlining are the excellent White Lies, who have to be the favourite in the recent BBC Sound of 2009 longlist. Backing them are the immense Metronomy, currently riding high in the cumulative Best of 2008 charts. Also on the bill are the great live act Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, whilst the eclectic mix is topped off with Rolo Tomassi. Head down to Scala [...]
2008 turned out to be a great year in music. One of the disappointing trends is the death of the album. Purists may disagree, but more and more consumers are buying single tracks from eMusic , iTunes and other digital stores. I'm not saying that albums will not be recorded, but the buying habits will/have change. CD's will be a novelty in the next 5 to 7 years, similar to vinyl.; that is unless you like buying Britney Spears or The Jonas Brothers at Walmart or Best Buy. The good news is the sound quality of [...]
iTunes is giving away "Jealous Enemies" from Dark Captain Light Captain as 'Single of the Week'. It is actually a pretty good song from their debut album Miracle Kicker .

The crew is currently on tour & will [...]
"We hate it when our friends become successful" sang Morrissey, but as far as I can tell, he hated everything, the flower-waggling fop. Seasides. Sundays. Sex. Foreigners. However, walking into the Rough Trade shop on Brick Lane the other week and seeing a whole rack devoted to the new album by [...]
East London's Dark Captain Light Captain recently released its full-length debut, Miracle Kicker , and it's beautiful. They remind me a little of early Crosby, Stills and Nash and a edgier version of the Fleet Foxes. The album and EP are definitely worth checking out.
