Frank Yang It's said that for bands seeking exposure, television is the new radio as far as reaching a mass audience is concerned. Sheffield's Slow Club can probably speak a little to that, having done pretty well as far as advert and show soundtracking goes. Not having cable or watch much/any broadcast TV, I had no idea about this - I found the duo the old fashioned way by having their 2009 debut Yeah So show up in my mailbox - but it did explain why [...]

The soaring vocals that define Sweden's The Mary Onettes meant that even a name (and language) change did little to disguise their identity on the very Swedish 2011 synth-based side project, Det Vackra Livet. And while "echoing reverbs, '80s guitars and big splashing drums" may be absent on the returning Mary Onettes' Love Forever EP , it is still unmistakably the same band that was also responsible for 20092s spectacular Islands . Singer Philip Ekström's vocals have led to Cure comparisons in the past, and the pianos and pain [...]

natürlich zeichnet labrador für die 4track ep "love forever" verantwortlich, das von dan lissvik produzierte teil erscheint am 28. februar digital und auf vinyl und klingt vertraut und damit ohrenschmeichelnd popversöhnt: the mary onettes - love's taking strange ways als one finger riot hatten wir faris mcreynolds bereits einmal vorgestellt, sein neues projekt trägt erste früchte, am 14. februar wird "take me forever" erscheinen, post planetary unterstützt ihn dabei: exdetectives - the lawn gleich einen sackvoll [...]

The Mary Onettes have been writing some of my favorite pop records over the last few years and recently they announced they'd be releasing another by the end of this month. However, Love Forever will be the first time they're reportedly ditching their 80s guitars and echoey vocals in favor of more avant-garde themes. New directions may not always be welcomed at first, but we'll see how well they're able to execute it as a whole. In the meantime, enjoy. Love's Taking Strange Ways [...]

On February 28th The Mary Onettes will release the new EP "Love Forever". For the first time, they have collaborated with an external producer, Dan Lissvik, which of course also affect how they sound. They write about the change: Gone are the echoing reverbs, the 802s guitars and the big, splashing drums. "Love Forever" is a wonder of genre-blurring fearlessness drawing on ambient textures, avant-garde rhythms and intricate arrangements. As a taste of the EP, they have released the first song, "Love's Taking Strange Ways", which you can listen to and download [...]

The Mary Onettes, who specialize in what reminds me of a kind of dreamy Scottish pop - even though they are Swedes - have a new release, Love Forever EP , out on February 25 on the amazing Labrador label. Love’s Taking Strange Ways is first teaser...

I've never wavered in my adoration for The Mary Onettes , and with the upcoming Love Forever EP , it looks like I won't have to change my position. You'll probably notice a slight change if you've been following the band, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. On this track, there's a bit more of a studio polish to the daunting pop number, giving more clarity to the lyrical element than you might have found on previous effort Islands . You can find this [...]

Neil Thomas Douglas As I understand it, yesterday was Robbie Burns Day and while I may have missed out on my annual tradition of posting something suitably Scottish to mark the day - a tradition I've marked exactly zero times in the past forever years - I'm going to make up for it a little bit by leading with some Scots-related content. Firstly, We Were Promised Jetpacks have finally scheduled a second North American tour in support of last year's In The Pit Of The Stomach [...]
Think I’ve been quite disciplined recently and done my best deleting mails from the inbox. Still the number has now reached and rapidly surpassed 10,000! Ten-thousand (or 10,103 to be exact)! Suck on that for a moment. If I spent one minute on each, it would take me a little more than 168 hours or exactly a week checking them all. So if you’re still awaiting a reply; forget about it and move on… As always one of the big challenges, when your mailbox is cluttered like this, is to spot the important ones from the [...]
