Exactly 7 days ago, whilst awaiting the first play of Arctic Monkeys new single , we heard something that sent us (and everyone else who fondly remembers the first time they heard We Have Sound ) into a major flap. Hide and seek champion (it's been five years since his last public appearance) Tom Vek was making a comeback. Zane Lowe teased us with a 30 second clip of the new single 'A Chore' and gave us an album title - Leisure Seizure - to coo over (try saying leisure the American way and it drips deliciously [...]

After being on hiatus for five years, last week Tom Vek announced he is set to return with a new album called 'Leisure Seizure'.

After a six-year hiatus from the music industry, experimental alt-rocker Tom Vek is back with his first album of all-new material since 20052s breakout debut We Have Sound . The London-native's forthcoming LP Leizure Seizure is set for release later this year, with an official street date yet to be announced. Although there isn't a tracklist or artwork available, Amazon.fr has a short clip available of the album's first single, "A Chore"; the track is set to premiere on Zane Lowe's BBC1 radio program on April 18th. Keep checking [...]

Con esto de la venida de los Flaming Lips , me puse a revisar mis top10 de Last.fm, onda sacando cuentas, sobre cuantos de esos artistas había podido ver en vivo, y cuantos me faltaban. Ví que estaba Tom Vek y comenté que "pucha, a ese nunca lo veré porque debe estar más que muerto". Afortunadamente revisando los feeds, me enteré que no! que está vivo! y que sacará un nuevo álbum! Las buenas noticias son que el primer single "Chore" (que no alcanzé a escuchar porque lo bajaron [...]
In the greatest tidbit of Tuesday morning news, NME (and @frantaclaus ) is reporting that Tom Vek will return to glory in 2011 with the release of a new, full-length album entitled Leisure Seizure . It will be his first release since the nearly perfect We Have Sound record in 2005. Vek will be releasing the single "A Chore" via UK radio on April 18th. You can stream a snippet of said single via This Is Fake DIY . We'll try to get the song in it's entirety for you upon [...]
Whatever happened to Tom Vek? Well we are finally going to find out. Six years - yes, six years! - since the release of We Have Sound Vek has finally recorded a follow up. Leisure Seizure will be released later this year, full details to follow. Zane Lowe debuted the single 'A Chore' on his radio show last night, April 11th, streaming here (about 21 minutes in).
Dopo l'ottimo debutto ne avevamo perso completamente le tracce. Ora Tom Vek torna con un disco. "Leisure Seizure" esce a fine anno, il primo singolo "A Chore" il 18 aprile. Finalmente Tom Vek !!! pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES

You might have heard already. If not, rejoice, indie fans, for Tom Vek is not dead, retired or rubbish - new news brought to us by Zane Lowe, of all people. He will, in fact, be releasing a new album this year and will also be previewing a new song, A Chore, on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show next Wednesday. Six years since his much loved debut, We Have Sound , he soon found himself with a cult following who have been living off early demos and b-sides ever since. Rejoice, Vek followers, rejoice.
Never thought we'd have the pleasure to write the following words, but Tom Vek, yes Tom Vek, has announced he is set to return this year with a new album.

Matthew, if you hadn't realised, is rather excited about the return of Tom Vek. So excited, we decided we should let him explain just why the long (long, long, long) awaited comeback is so God damn amazing - Ed I am writing this with a quickened heart beat, breath heavy – I can almost feel the blood pulsing through my veins. I have always been one for hyperbole, but there is nothing more deserving to be blown up to the world-ending proportions that I have escalated this to. Oh god, oh god, oh [...]
There will be no new band on 12/4. Nothing - nothing - could come close to the news that tonight it was announced that Tom Vek will be returning with a new album, with a 30 second clip premiered on Zane Lowe - ignore the means that this was delivered and let's just bask in this. 6 years in the making, countless rumours of death, of him going bad, of him packing it all in, everything. Worry not about all that has gone before, nor the fact that the same New Zealander will be having the first play of a [...]
Well.....I mean....it's just.....I guess....ummm..... Tom Vek is back. I don't what this means for the world but it's happening. According to Zane Lowe there will be an album, Leisure Seizure, preceeded by a single A Chore which will get it's first play on his Radio One show next week. That's all for now. Blimey. * * * http://www.tomvek.tv/

Sound the klaxon, Tom Vek is back! Back!! Back!!! The long departed musician's last album, 'We Have Sound', was released back in 2005. Since then there's been lots of waiting, a few rumours, and precious little action, but now his return has been confirmed by Zane Lowe. The Radio 1 DJ has revealed that he'll be playing new single 'A Chore' next Monday (April 18th). The track will be taken from a new album 'Leisure Seizure'. DIY will now run around in circles trying to find out more. Tom Vek! Amazing. [...]
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I thought I might share a few songs that remind me of love. Tom Vek - C-C (You Set The Fire in Me) Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama Out Elliot Smith - A Song About You Regina Spektor - Fidelity (Morgan Page Unreleased Remix) OK, that's all I can get up for now. My session keeps timing out. If it gets back up, I'll add more more! [...]

Does anyone know where this is from? I think this Kisses song is in my top 5 songs of the year, I haven't stopped listening to it, I keep wanting to learn the lyrics and sing along softly, looking forward to this record, 1:20 and on pssssssssssssssshhhhh unreal. I do wonder though why I love it so much? is it because it sounds like something familiar? help me out here. When I press play I picture goths dancing in their bedrooms and completely not being goth anymore, it brings a smile [...]
