Synth pop favorites Adventures! with Might and local pop outfit Pocketknife embarked on a friendly challenge last fall: to cover each other's favorite songs and release a glorious 7" together. Long time fans knew the results were obviously going to be fun, but this release is downright awesome. The 7" has been released in a limited quantity of 200 through Marlin Gonda of Pocketknife's vinyl-only label Vinyl Richie Records. The vinyl features one original song from each of the bands and one cover from each of the bands. Track listing is below and check [...]
Brooklyn based producer Pocketknife with a new 123 of exquisite pagan pop and gothic dub edits, "Canyon Dancing #23 is released on his own imprint Wilde Calm Records and features his takes on tracks from among others Wooden Wand & the Vanishing Voice, Mi Ami, LA Vampires, Zola Jesus and Religious Knives.

As if Let England Shake weren't a record momentous and spellbinding enough already, by the time the impatiently aroused bugle fanfare of The Glorious Land harnesses Jean-Marc Butty's gallivanting, expressive rhythms every last scarcely visible hair on the back of the neck stands to attention, wavering in startled chill. It's palpably warm within the Royal Albert Hall, yet the songsmithery of great British heroine PJ Harvey is intensely bone-shuddering, her latest compositions as comfortable in its vast, annular expanse as antique tat on a dusty, burnt-out fireplace. There may be no "stinking alleys" in [...]

Some great new tracks hit the web this week. My first pick is Pocketknife's "Willow Song" a very uncharacteristic Analog Giant track. Slow, accoustic track from a film called "Wicker Man." I have never seen it but this track is mellow. Nice work. Willow's Song (Pocketknife's Midnight Sun Mix) by Pocketknife The next is a can't miss remix by Skream of Chromeo's "Night by Night" track. Not new but simply fantastic. Night By Night (Skream Remix) by Chromeo [...]

![Pocketknife Feat Joe Worricker [Get Around To It]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2318446_lg.jpg)
This next track has a lot of great things going for it. Pocketknife feat. Joe Worricker Get Around To It sounds similar to the vibe Antony Hegerty brings to Hercules and Love Affair's Blind . Both tracks are impressively unique- Get Around To It is just a little newer to me. The powerful background beats that penetrate through at key moments throughout the track compliment it well. Adding those unique vocals give it that powerful feel. This is from the Arthur Russell tribute album Go Bang [...]
