Damien Rice gets constant spins at the Cafe. The only problem is, he is mood music. Not really good mood music. Rice's track 'Coconut Skins' off of his 9 album, which was released in 2006.

Matthew Herbert has turned in a stunning rework of Soap & Skin 's 'Big Hand Nails Down', somehow managing to find even bleaker depths than those plumbed on the original. Read our review of Soap & Skin's unremittingly bleak Narrow here.

Directed by Ryan Hope, Skin is a dark, stylish examination of tattoo culture as high art, & a film that tests the boundaries of art & the human body. Featuring contributions from Damien Hirst,... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Here's some nice news ahead of Wes Willenbring's forthcoming album Weapons Reference Manual .

Don't forget to download ' Consequences of Recklessness ', the free single from Weapons Reference Manual , while awaiting album pre-order availability on the 12th of April.
Well a lot has obviously been happening, hasn't it?! You can tell by how quiet I've been, despite there being so much good music lately that I can barely keep up. Have you all seen MIA's new video? I really liked the last album but people seemed put off by her ranga genocide video and the mechanical tenacity of the album. And then there are shitty new Madonna songs and returns of favourites Beach House and Miike Snow... The Shoes released a pretty cool video for Time to Dance, with Jake Gyllanhaal still managing to look hot while playing a [...]

Still a teenager, Austrian vocalist and pianist Anja Plaschg debuted her project Soap And Skin on Lovetune For Vacuum (PIAS, 2009). These piano lieder mainly exploit the melodramatic skills of the vocalist, capable of alternating ecstatic melisma and whispered laments. Consequently the mood ranges from the solemn, philosophical Sleep to the childish, bouncing Spiracle . The accordion-driven elegy Cry Wolf , however, achieves an otherworldly quality. She is at her most virile in the lugubrious Thanatos . She is at her most sentimental in the tender lullaby Extinguish Me (with a piano melody reminiscent of Beethoven's Pathetique ) and in [...]
The VPME I Am Harlequin is the creation of multi-instrumentalist Anne Frier, who we are told spent her early childhood in East Germany. Now in our experience many avant garde artists from Germany are often, well, how can we put this delicately.. a bit "bats" to be quite honest. This is of course a good thing. Thankfully, unlike her compatriot Nina Hagen, Anne's music is a lot more accessible and she has honed a sound that conjures up a dash of Kate Bush, Bjork without the "bollocks du jour" mixed with a more restrained, sonorous Florence. [...]

Harbouring a compulsive work ethic to rival any dope nosed rat running the proverbial hamster wheel that is Canary Wharf, it would appear that the time has come for Claire Boucher to play to a significantly more general public for Visions, her third LP in fewer years under her Grimes moniker, bristles with glinting pop hooks to hack open even the most tightly sealed of minds. Esoteric yet accesible, Boucher's baying for blood, bodies, ears and iPods. And it looks as though she'll be taking all she's clamouring for and more. [...]
Owl Vision - Antichrist (Skins) Owl Vision - Antichrist. Dear Franky.....
Se non conoscessimo a priori i nomi coinvolti nel progetto "If This Ain't Lov", nella parte introduttiva saremmo indotti a pensare di trovarci di fronte ad un brano rock coadiuvato dalla splendida voce di Skin . Poi parte il beat dance, quello di Erick Morillo che non risulta essere pesante, e t'accorgi che la storia è tutt'altra rispetto alle sensazioni iniziali. Ma la cosa che più salta all'occhio è che la cantante ci sta benissimo in questo genere. D'altronde non potevamo aspettarci qualcosa di diverso da un'artista come lei. Il [...]
The SKIN lays some euro-house spunk on me this Tuesday AM as I sit at me desk, sip on me peppermint tea, and the SKUNK ANANSIE's she-singer goes quicker than a ray of light on us in the ERICK MORILLO 's latest video, IF THIS AIN'T LOVE .

Claire Boucher's vocals are chameleonic, constantly bending in ways that compliment the mix and make her voice feel like something that was born out of the track itself. While in the past, Grimes compositions are often characterized by an unpredictable and manic energy, Boucher's upcoming release on 4AD, Visions , looks to be more composed and focused. Tracks like "Skin" are shining examples of something this blog has been hinting at for months now-Grimes is up to something special.

Whatever you think about Skins past or present, there's one indisputable fact about the E4 series: it is permanently on the ball, music-wise. Series 6 looks to be no different judging from the trailer, which, by featuring the full-throttle track River , is likely to break out unsigned UK quartet Kankouran , and their guest vocalist Evelyn Burke . This is a heady, cocktailed-up, car-crash rock: dense and enjoyably intense. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]
Video: BOY - "Skin (acoustic version)" BOY is the duo of Valeska Steiner & Sonja Glass, two young women making a ton of noise and hailing from Zurich/Munich, and they're prepping a debut album of indie pop numbers quite like the track "Skin" above, only not acoustic. To get a feel for the girls outside of the acoustic nature of the video, check their other stuff out on the Web for sure and keep watch for the lovely pair on tour in Germany (and hopefully the world soon). Godspeed!

Most of you have probably noticed that Grimes signed with 4AD two days ago. She said in detail via twitter " just want 2 say i am so honoured to be releasing my next album with 4AD - a record label I have admired since I was 13 and first heard the cocteau twins and realized girls can make music, and goth is sick ". Grimes Visions will be released worldwide March 12. Listen to two new tracks " Genesis " and " Skin ". This release will be amazing! Grimes - " Genesis " [...]

Tweet Today I'm introducing you to a duet called BOY . If you already gave these two girls a listen, forgive me, but I must talk about them a little bit. Valeska Steiner and Sonja Glass . Those are the names of these two girls who (and we don't know why) decided to call themselves BOY . Maybe because they're way too pretty and attract any kind of boy. Maybe because they're way too pretty [...]
