CHOOKIE music's newest production talent KLP from Sydney, Australia has just released her debut EP and a remix release containing adaptations from collaborator and label boss DCUP , JAMES CURD (DFA Records), TORNADO WALLACE , MITZI , NYC's SAARID and more. We've been loving her new tunes here at the PURPLE SNEAKERS office so we thought we'd reach out for a quick interview with the young vocalist / producer and fire a few questions at her. What did you draw musical inspiration from to produce your single ‘Hands’? [...]
More of Martin's high-res photos from day 2 can be found on his Flickr. Bands of the day: Concrete Knives, Wolf People, Melody’s Echo Chamber Venue of the day: Screenadelica One not-to-be-underestimated benefit of an event being held in Liverpool is the impressive situational architecture. I chose a hotel based entirely on cost and availability, and yet it boasted a fine view of the Mersey estuary and is continuously watched over by that Liver bird which [...]
I feel like my ears were destined to hear KLP 's music this week. My boys in LBCK are currently in the studio working on their debut album and, as I am the one managing the label backing them, they asked me to look into an artist I had not yet heard of named KLP. Literally a day later I was hit with a bunch of things from this indie dance signer, including some cuts off her recent Revolution Remixed project which you can find below. Cool how that worked out.
Como habitual, por cá fica o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana esteve carregadinha de temas bastante bons que não se ficaram apenas pelas novidades do ano, mas também por algumas recordações do passado recente. Por exemplo, "I Still Remember" dos Bloc Party foi um dos temas que nos permitiu recuar uns anitos para relembrar tanto o

After almost three years after her much-lauded debut album, 2009’s Hands , Victoria Hesketh ’s second album abounds with the same propensities for hip-shaking disco jams that made Hesketh, a.k.a. Little Boots , a pop star. Her first album, Hands , garnered Hesketh that year’s BBC Sound of… poll, beating out big names such as Lady Gaga , Florence + The Machine and her rival for the longest-wait-for-second-album title, [...]

Hands release "Brave Motion" video from Synesthesia. Hands have released the official video for "Brave Motion" from their debut full-length Synesthesia out now on Kill Rock Stars. The video was directed and animated...
Os Hands são uma banda recente no movimento indie californiano e que se apresentam de uma forma tão acolhedora que o próprio nome da banda traduz a emoção com que lhes devemos estender as mãos. Depois do sucesso do EP 'Massive Context', a banda apresenta-se agora com o seu álbum de estreia, 'Synesthesia', de onde sobressai, entre muitos outros, o tema "Brave Motion". Muito bom e muito
From Hands' album Synesthesia out now on Kill Rock Stars.
Earlier this year, we posted " Trouble ," a catchy synth-rock jam from the L.A. band Hands. Now they've made a video for another one, "Brave Motion," and it works as a mini-action movie in trippily animated form. Director Johnny Woods tells us the story of a young woman on the run from nefarious forces, and you can watch her thrilling if confounding escape below. Read More...
Synesthesia , the new album from Hands , is out now via Kill Rock Stars .
Leading of this week's new releases are two blockbuster albums from veterans of rock and roll, two bands that no doubt have been, and continued to be, an inspiration to countless popular and obscure alternative and indie rock artists. First up, is the latest album from Iggy Pop and The Stooges, and it sounds excellent. [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Our favorite albums of 2013 so far with an RDIO playlist!
This year we sent some of our finest writers to witness SXSW first hand and mingle. This could have been a tale of new friendships, drunken friendships, confiscated platinum passes, lost emails and missed deadlines. Oh, and there was also a lot of music... Blondfire | Clive Bar (Mood Media Day Party) Blondfire kicked off [...] The post SXSW 2013 Day One (feat. Blondfire, Bonaparte, Sizarr, Hands, Japandroids, Local Natives & John Talabot) appeared first on Cougar Microbes .
You won’t find a better indie synth-pop album this year than Hands’ debut, Synesthesia.
"Magic Fingers", the lead single from Hands' 2012 Massive Context EP , is cringe-worthy. In a failed Michael Angelakos falsetto, singer/keyboardist Geoff Halliday soured faces with his crackling upper-register. Now 12 months later on their debut LP, Synesthesia , Halliday has improved his vocal control and taken a step to the background as the other three members entice an early-summer audience with a refined ear for percussion that adds a twist to trending alt-pop standards. Like Passion Pit, Vampire Weekend, and Foster the People before them, Hands make charming button-down collar rock, the type pleasing to both coeds [...]
