Ever since giving These New Puritans on Angular Records a listen, I've been scouring the internet sale bins for their back catalog. TNP hail from Southend which 40 miles east of London, from the same scene as the Horrors. I don't care much for that other band but I think TNP have a pretty refreshing sound. They seem to have a knack for building tension through their angular sound. I was surprised to read that they are massively influenced by the Wu Tang Clan, which makes sense because their [...]

Hat Domino Records wieder einmal eine Cash-Cow entdeckt wie damals mit Franz Ferdinand? Vieles deutet darauf hin, dass These New Puritans aus Süd-London nächstes Jahr durchstarten. Das schlagendste Argument dafür: These New Puritans werden wie die Cazals vom derzeitigen Ästhet-Papst und Liebling der Medien Hedi Slimane protegiert. Das Debüt Beat Pyramid erscheint am 28. Januar. These New Puritans - Elvis

Non facciamo nemmeno in tempo a disfare la valigetta che è mattino. E' ora di riporre nella cesta i panni da dj e indossare le ambitissime cuffie da podcaster. E i dischi? Beh, qualche bis fluorescente bisognerà pur concederlo, ma ci sono le canzoni da colazione a distendere il mattino. Tanti singoli e tanti EP ingiustamente trascurati negli ultimi mesi riaffiorano nella penultima playlist di un dicembre avaro di nuove uscite. Con la testa si è già al 2008 e riusciamo a captare i primi segnali dall'anno che verrà. Prima però, ci resta ancora da ripercorrere i solchi dei dischi [...]

I feel guilty for not having posted during the last week. It's been only six days, but still, I feel so guilty, that this is going to be a ridiculously long post. Alright, let's start with mail I've been getting, because I actually did promise to do a part 2 post...sometime. Well, this time is now, so let's get going. Starting off with 4 or 5 Magicians, whose single Forever On The Edge is out

This mysterious white disk with the label ' Beat Pyramid' has been sitting on my desk untouched, unloved, unappreciated for quite a while now and just as track 16 kicks off i find myself kicking and screaming the whole 9 second duration for letting the food marks and dust build up on the sleeve while it should have been safely enclosed in my cd player this whole time. The debut long player by UK four piece, These New Puritans, has some soft bits, it has some tuff bits, it has some colour; its an [...]

I feel like I havn`t even had 2 minutes to think lately....First Guitar Hero 3 entered our house and totally consumed both my mind and time.....then we had a Cat come and stay with us for a night....Long story, we basically babysat it....until it shit all over the place...I also managed to make it out to see Two Hours Traffic and Joel Plaskett on Sunday and Monday night....oh and to top it all off my site was shut down...Make sure you get the new track from These New Puritans...I`m really looking forward to the [...]

Is this the gadget that will finally make me give up my vinyl? I'm not sure, but it certainly looks a lot of fun. And a lot of sexy. It's a 120Gb MP3 player, that also lets you mix tracks together. A pocket DJ system if you will. I would question whether it's really a good idea to make it even easier for people to become DJs, as sometimes it seems these days that a fast internet connection
Enquanto eu fico em trancado casa me escondendo do papa e celebrando o maravilhoso dia frio que está hoje em São Paulo, aproveito para falar de mais uma banda que vai rolar na festa de sábado. E acredite, eles estão longe de ser um duo de electro. Foto do, meu amigo, kiko! Como estou com preguiça(!), vou traduzir um trechos da entrevista que rolou com o These New Puritans no começo do mês

With the run up to the show this past week (and I thought I'd give you all a bit of a respite before I roll out the big recap), I haven't had the chance to discuss some stuff I've been enjoying, both old, new, and new to me. Making up for it in a cluster, here's five... These New Puritans - "En Papier" These New Puritans continue to impress , even if their relative blog invisibility makes finding their songs a bit [...]
Not much has been said about young Brit art punks These New Puritans on this side of the puddle, in blog or print. They've gotten a nice chunk of press in their rainy native land, but that doesn't seem to translate into American press very easily anymore. In this case it's surprising, as the Southend lads (and lass) are all teenagers, which is always easy to slip into a lead paragraph (like so). They also have the most winningly inscrutable website this side of Thom Yorke, and are brought to our attention by the always [...]
Como é bom passar uma tarde no shopping bebendo Chopp com o Saul e conversando sobre qualquer coisa, mais legal ainda é ficar dando conselhos e bebendo Chopp digrátis. Eu só maior bom nisso, em beber e dar conselhos. A melhor parte foi quando eu no meio daquelas histórias cheias de moral percebo que estava aconselhando sobre uma situação que eu tinha acabado de passar e tinha feito o que ele fez mas condenei ele. Incrível. Faça o que eu falo total. Vou lá me arrumar pra sair em prudente-city à noite, Uruba alguém? [...]

This is a list of stuff I've been listening to, and while I suppose you could indentify a few common threads, the bottom line is mainly that they are all Jeff-ceptable. To make up for a lack of introspection into the specific quality that ties them all together in my admiration, I offer a whole bunch. All armchair psychoanalyis from the peanut gallery will be carefully considered... Pavement - "Type Slowly" (Live at the Tibetan Freedom Concert) Matador Records is not letting [...]
