Daros prisa porque puede durar online muy poco. “Octopus” es el primer sencillo y nuevo tema de Four , cuarto trabajo de Bloc Party al que después de escuchar este primer adelanto podemos vaticinar un brillante futuro. Con toques electrónicos pero con una clara vuelta al rock, se trata de un tema de poco más de 3 minutos de duración que constará como el tercer corte del nuevo trabajo. Un álbum que ha sido producido por Alex Newport, que ya trabajó con The [...]

It's here, it's official: Bloc Party have returned! For a lot of you this is is big news as the band have been absent for a good four years or so, some of you hoping to put the lackluster reviews and reception of their last album Intimacy behind you, even though it was a solid album. Their new album, the band's fourth, is called Four and will be released on August 21st via Frenchkiss , and after [...]
Stereogum : Bloc Party play some new songs in Glasgow. Not as good as the old songs. LA Times : Stevie Wonder's nephew accused of extortion, tried to get $5 million. Couldn't he have just quietly opened the safe? Too soon? Cause Stevie Wonder is blind... Vulture : In depth profile of Fiona Apple. NME : The British music magazine (or tabloid) celebrates 60 years by picking 100 greatest tracks of the [...]

Billboard: Bloc Party announce details for first release in four years, aptly titled Four, along with a teaser trailer. Pitchfork: Wolf Parade/Spoon/Handsome Furs supergroup Divine Fits release a preview of their album due out later this year. NME: The British music mag names its 100 Best Tracks of the '00s. Number 1? Beyonce's "Crazy Right Now". PMA: A "lost" Lana Del Rey album has been discovered from before [...]

We were just sent a great new song by Michael Coomer of Harlem , a guy who happens to be one of our favorite songwriters of the last few years (see " Someday Soon ," " Gay Human Bones ," " South of France ," etc.). He has a new "band-ish thing" called Lace Curtains , and " High Fantasy " is the first track he's unveiled from the forthcoming record, the garden of joy and the well of loneliness . Coomers says of the new project: [...]
New reworking by Russell Lissack (Bloc Party) and Jamie Ellis (Battle).

![[Album Review/Listen] – The Dodos – “No Color”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3608501_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album from Amazon - Vinyl / MP3 / CD There's something in my genes that loves percussion at a deep and primal level. I can't explain it much further than this: I remember my dad drumming along on the steering wheel to anything he was listening to. He never sang or hummed along to the melodies, just drummed it out. Also, my younger brother taught himself [...]
![[Listen] – New Song By Kasabian – “Days Are Forgotten”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3604133_lg.jpg)
Tweet Man, how much do you envy Zane Lowe? I envy him quite a lot. Tonight he debuted the first single from Kasabian 's forthcoming album "Velociraptor!" - as you do. (Yes, not only is the album named after the widely-acknowledged Most Epic Dinosaur; it also includes an exclamation mark. That's how you know it's good.) We've already had a taste of what's to come in the form of "Switchblade Smiles" , which I was unsure about. The drums sounded like Oasis [...]

![[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – The Royalty](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3593489_lg.jpg)
Tweet A quick update on the music news for the week before I get started: The Righteous Brothers ' cover of "Unchained Melody" is on jukeboxes everywhere; anticipation for The Beatles ' up-coming album "Help!" is reaching fever pitch; and The Ronettes ' latest, "Is This What I Get For Loving You?", has flopped, rather embarrassingly. That's right: it's 1965. Relax, you've not really gone back in time. But there are moments on El Paso-fivesome The Royalty 's self-titled debut [...]

Tweet If you're in the U.S. there's a very good possibility that you haven't heard of Kasabian , or you may have heard the name but not the music. If either of those are the case then allow me to change that for you. From Leicester, England, the band have released three albums to date, the one that garnered them the most critical acclaim and widespread success being their debut self-titled album from 2004. It was [...]

![[Listen] – Tom Vek – “A Chore” (Tom Vek’s Re-Edit)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3394711_lg.jpg)
Tweet Admittedly I'm not the biggest Tom Vek fan on the planet, mainly because I've only been listening to him for a handful of months, but the first time I did listen to his album I could hear why he's so revered. I could hear him single-handedly paving the way for bands like Friendly Fires, Test Icicles, and even future albums from Bloc Party and Minus The Bear, but he only ever released one album, 20052s "We Have Sound". There weren't even any singles or [...]

It may or may not be obvious at this point in time, but I've formed a pretty legitimate biased towards UK artists. That isn't to say what's under my nose is overlooked, but I tend to discover more local artists through proactive networks elsewhere. Clock Opera is the prefect example of this exact process, whom in an enmeshment of remixes have created a sound that is almost legendary and has exposed my taste to genres I would've floated over otherwise. With their most recent single, Belongings , frontman, Guy Connelly, demonstrates rather explicity his capacity [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Afrojack – “Replica” (Daft Punk Vs. Yelle Vs. Katy Perry Vs. Bloc Party Vs. Major Lazer)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3072355_lg.jpg)
This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing [...]
