These New Puritans vs. Main Attrakionz - 3000
Bay Area mad-based badmen Main Attrakionz go in double-hard on "3000" from "Hidden", the recent opus by These New Puritans , swarming all over its monumental military drum clatter and ominously cinematic strings like the fiendish pack of brilliantly rabid road-dogs they are. "What you after? The whole wide worrrrrrld."

Look Again

Oct 6, 2010, 10:46am Transparent
Look Again London producer Dreamtrak muscles our recent single by Museum Of Bellas Artes , "Watch The Glow" into a pulsating dancefloor detonator - chest-tightening, propulsive disco bass throb, massive tribal drum anvil drops and euphoric horn flourishes dancing their way through a thick smoke of dreamy midnight atmospherics. Cop it below. First though, a reminder of the wonderfully sensual Jamie Harley directed video for the original: Museum Of Bellas Artes - Watch [...]

Ridin Solo

Oct 4, 2010, 4:10pm Transparent
Ridin Solo Pleased to announce one of several forthcoming singles for Autumn on Transparent, "Solo ('4' Claire) / Rot My Brain Away" - by Pittsburgh future-pop artist Christopher Laufman, better known as Wise Blood. The double A side 7" is to be his first physical release following the success of self-released, download-only EP "+". Wise Blood's songs are warped, screwed collages that are both weirdo party jams and finely detailed compositions, Laufman blowing-up tiny sample fragments into bombastic loops that equally reveal touches of R'n'B sass, psychedelic tropicalia and garage-pop snottiness in their hypnotic, sunshine mechanics. The amorous, irreverent "Solo (4 [...]

Made Man

Made Man Didn't get a chance to post this up before the weekend closed in on us but "Rubber", the bone-shivering new single by our beautiful babies Yuck dropped for streaming on the group's site recently, its devastatingly narcotic drone and leaden-souled chug proving a real curveball and boding wonderfully for this winter's debut full-length. Yuck - Rubber [Stream] "Rubber" drops as a footlong (copyright Dean ) single on October 26th. ( [...]

Deep Cut

Oct 1, 2010, 7:22am Transparent
More Holy Other sustenance for yr souls today - the official "Yr Love" video by London's Family dropping over at Dazed Digital . We'd struggle to think of anything more appropriate for the jam's knife-edge brooding and beauty than the exquisite footage it's been treated with here, straddling the line as it does between the ecclesiastical and the occult - perfectly illuminating the gorgeous twilight spaces of HO's music. Thanks to George and Esther for the video, be sure to check out all their work here

Blow Out

Oct 1, 2010, 6:43am Transparent
Blow Out We've been deeply entranced by the end-of-the-world dancefloor epics by Physical Therapy for a good moment now, ever since being pinned to the wall by the wind-tunnel emotion of his brain-blowing Alicia Keys re-fix a few months back. Goes without saying, then, that we were super glad when he agreed to turn his deft hand to our boy Holy Other 's "We Over", pumping some pure adrenaline into the original's beautifully narcotic heart until it's reincarnated as a lurching, ten minute zombie-house monster.

All The Way

Sep 30, 2010, 10:26am Transparent
All The Way Wise Blood keeps it bouncing with his speaker-blown magpie-pop collages - dropping this massive new jam on his new site a couple days back. "2 The Bitter End" sees the schmaltzy, pinstriped slow-jam earnesty of K-Ci and JoJo's late 90s muscle-strainer Tell Me It's Real contorted into an after-dark, soul-seance epic - our pained protagonists' hotel-lobby emoting malformed into freakish, fractured howls in the midst of all that bone-shuddering 808 snap and queasy drone. Keep a close eye on Wise Blood's new site for more lil miracles in the near [...]

Without A Blink [1]

Sep 29, 2010, 5:55pm Transparent
The visual content just keeps coming with this pieced together real time/slow motion home-video, holiday diary circa summer of '96 to accompany internet-absent Vondelpark's far away, half asleep drifter of a song that somewhat ironically echoes like it was recorded on a rainy day. The group will be playing one of their first ever live shows at our party in London on Nov 9th alongside Museum of Bellas Artes & Echo Lake with tickets still available to snap up here .

Gotta Continue

Greatest Hits strut back into view with a vid for another bombastic future-funk headfucker, Hurricane Ike matching the gloopy liquid riddims and space-aged sass of "Stop And Go" (a mutation of the David Grant original ) to some appropriately nutty second-hand footage of what appears to be a Croatian talent show. Todd from OESBEE gave us the low-down via a Zagreb local: "The video that you made for the band from your label is acctually from Serbian television station Pink that screens awful music called trubo folk, which is a mix [...]

Already been getting some heavy rotation in all the best places since the unstoppable Yours Truly premiered it yesterday but there shouldn't really be an inch of internet space that isn't occupied with a video as plainly beautiful as this. Tom Krell breathing his inimitable, after-dark magic on Kells' devastating hood heartbreak in a beyond-beautiful tribute to a recently passed loved-one. previously: How To Dress Well - Ecstasy With Jojo [...]

Strutting Up

Strutting Up Big high fives to our friends over at Young Turks for sending over this exclusive new cut from their forthcoming EP release of enigmatic, mask-wielding, vowel-phobic London producer SBTRKT . Staying true to form, "Hide Or Seek" kicks off with a growling, cavernous bassline before emerging out of the shadowy badlands and giving the dancefloor a sideways look with the introduction of a pulsing, cranking, string filled halfway house that lurks somewhere between the light and dark. 'Step In The Shadows' EP will be available on footlong vinyl from [...]

House Trained

House Trained Just made our escape from the soaking outside to find our inbox showered with love from Cloud Nothings in the shape of their brand new split release with brother-in-arms Kevin Greenspon . Unsurprisingly both sides are lined with bumper-to-bumper gems but we've decided to handpick the heart-dragging, bedroom burrowed melody and unshakable, red-eyed helplessness of Dylan Baldi's "I Apologize". Perfect anthem for a rainy day. Grab the CD through Bridgetown or cassette on Cass/Flick . Cloud Nothings - I Apologize [...]

TP020 - Museum Of Bellas Artes

Sep 23, 2010, 6:10am Transparent
TP020 - Museum Of Bellas Artes Proud to announce the new single from Stockholm magic-circle Museum Of Bellas Artes . Boasting an enormous, sky-spanning chorus but pared back with an unmistakable tinge of regret and yearning, "Watch The Glow" is a shimmering gemstone of balearic-house bounce and classic Swedish pop melancholy. The release is the group's first physical record and their first activity since last year's much-lauded "Who Do You Love" (released digitally through Swedish home Force Majeure ) in which they charmed The Sapphires' 1964 doo-wop / soul classic into a truly graceful, loved-up, party-time thriller. We're delighted to include [...]

TP019 - Holy Other

TP019 - Holy Other Delighted today to unveil the latest addition to our family - the debut offering from Berlin's Holy Other . Made up of two next-dimension slow jamz/space-age breakup elegies "We Over" (shared earlier in the year) and new cut "Yr Love", this is a deeply obsessive, dense and sensual record with a mood and tone all of its own, alien and warped but with real stomach-knotting emotional weight and grace in its contorted lurch and ghostly climatic moans. Released on September 25th. 300 7" only. Holy Other - [...]

Thought U Did Contorted with ecstasy to offer y'all beautiful babies the stream of our forthcoming Museum Of Bellas Artes single, dished up on a platinum platter over at Gorilla Vs Bear today as it was. "Watch The Glow" is a bounding fantasy-pop thoroughbred, as upliftingly beautiful and footloose as we've come across in ages and you'll hear a little more about how to make it yours in the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, a little sugar for the tip of your tongue: [...]
