When Pelican announced they'd be doing their first UK shows in four years this April, the first thing Hugh Platt did was cry for joy. The second thing he did was call up their drummer, Larry Herweg , to chat about it. Whatever ludicrous post-metal tag you like to slap on Pelican , the power and presence the quartet's wield in heavy music's instrumental sphere is undeniable. Now that the band is gearing up for their first UK shows in nearly half a decade (spearheaded by [...]

Ein sagen wir mal "besonderer" Charakter und seine besondere Story über ein Ufo im Vorgarten und einen Platz an dem die Besucher sehnlichst erwartet werden. Sehr schön in Scene gesetzt von Mikey Livingston welcher es versteht die etwas kuriose Situation durchweg positiv und ohne Wertung zu porträtieren. "Welcome to Planet Earth is the story of the extremely unique Jody Pendarvis and his 30 foot UFO he built in his front yard in the small town of Bowman, SC. After a sighting of alien life forms, Jody built the [...]

Musical artistry comes naturally to the guys of Portugal. The Man . And for their forthcoming album, In The Mountain In the Cloud , they've released not only a teaser, but two full songs blended together in a short film titled "Sleep Forever". Featuring the two songs, "Sleep Forever" and "Got It All (This Can't Be Living Now)", we're guided through the lush landscapes of Alaska as front man John Gourley portrays a dogsled musher who meets his impending doom. You can check out the an interview about the inspiration behind it [...]
Castle - Disputed Truth "Ditch Effort" is a loose-concept album about me leaving planet Earth behind and venturing off into space. It's very existential, moody, and self-indulgent. I actually had no intention of releasing this album, but it didn't feel right bidding everyone farewell with another instrumental album. This is the last solo project I'll be releasing for a while. After performing for almost 20 years (since I was five), I've grown tired of seeking a record deal or independent recognition. Giving up music is not my intention. I don't [...]

Take That have followed up their Progress single "The Flood" with the bombastic "Kidz" in the UK. The music video finds the BRIT Award-winning man band acting as warriors from outer space whose ship arrives in the Earth's atmosphere. Consider this the second sci fi-themed clip of the day, following Lady Gaga's far out "Born This Way." Watch below. Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams & Co. are confronted by the military when they descend from their ship (the aptly-titled "Progress"). But just [...]
Ahead of the release of their debut album, Cape Dory , married dream pop duo Tennis have revealed their first UK single, 'Baltimore', will be released this month via Young and Lost Club . Drenched in reverb, Patrick Riley's guitar swirls around Alaina Moore's saccharine vocals whilst the crisp percussion driven melody is less hazily nostalgic than previous track 'Marathon' but is just as compelling. The Denver based pair also have some good news for Londoners in the form of a second live date to accompany their previously announced tour . So if [...]
After buying the singles and watching from afar as Nadia Dahlawi and Sara Jade used their musical crystal ball over the past five years to hand pick some of the best talent from these shores, I was gald to finally be able to make one of their events. Both their club nights and label as Young & Lost Club have been massive successes over the last five years, to celebrate this they released a rather impressive compilation and had a birthday party at XOYO a couple of weeks ago (yes I know this is late). [...]
Whether true or not, the last few years has felt like new acts have raised the bar for good emerging music. Though there are now many thousands of acts all producing interesting work for a dwindling, fractured audience, there are still very few tracks that have the ability to make you swoon on first listen. Whether heard through the many blog posts hyping the band, on the radio, or even in one of the many Topman shops that have been spinning the track in the last few months, Falling into Love is undoubtedly one of those songs, the descent into [...]
When I found out the Young & Lost Club girls, namely Nadia Dahlawi and Sara Jade, were a little younger than myself it really put how much they have done and how influential they are in the London music scene into some perspective for me. And now, celebrating their 50th single and 5 years as a label, they are releasing a double-disc compilation of 35 of their favourites. Their story is one of musical fairytale of sneaking out of boarding school to catch gigs around London, before starting a beautifully budget fanzine called Pyrrha,' [...]
Je te wenvoie au #1 pour plus de précisions… _ _ _ Plus je vieillis (et je peux dire que je vieillis au vu de la difficulté que j'ai à me remettre de ce weekend pavemento -soundsystémien), plus je deviens une fiotte. Attention, je n'en ressens ni honte ni fierté, je constate c'est tout. Planet Earth l'a bien compris et vient de sortir son second single rien que pour moi... [...]

The days have got longer, and the sun is starting to glisten through the trees making this perfect timing for the latest instalment of Summer days through the folkish haze (previously vols 1 and 2 ). As with all our mixtapes here on TBW, there are some bands you may know and others you wish you did - and all perfectly accompanied by a jug of Pimms... Big shout outs to the wonderful folk at Young & Lost , Song, by Toad , and For Folks Sake for pushing [...]
Because, dear readers, there are 3 lovely things you should be aware of. 1. Darwin Deez 's self-titled album is out on Lucky Number Music! A quirky, fun pop gem, do have a listen and order your copy here ! 2. Remember Planet Earth ?

It's called Falling Into Love and you can [...]
