After posting an album teaser on YouTube back in March, British techno master Jon Hopkins has shared the first track from his upcoming fourth solo album, Immunity , due out June 4 on Domino Recordings. "Open Eye Signal" is a rollicking cut that rolls along at a breezy clip, clocking in at nearly eight minutes in length. Hopkins will open for Four Tet on May 8 at Webster Hall in New York City, so here's hoping he shares a few new tunes during his set.
You may well, and rather conceivably play on through this one multiple times before twigging what track it actually is that Alexis Taylor and his About Group gaggle go ad libbing this time around, for this extempore take on Dionne Warwick's Walk On By eschews the Bacharachian minor key melancholy in favour of a wilfully erratic improvisation. I never quite got why About Group were never afforded a greater cultural prominence than that which they were afforded a couple years ago around the release of their decidedly good Start And Complete LP, not least as [...]
Villagers’ sophomore album, Awayland, is our “Earthly Pleasure.”
Photo by Shaun Bloodworth When you find yourself lost in a labyrinth-like museum, strolling through a grand lobby, or spitting from the 40th floor of your favorite skyscraper rooftop, your senses become tuned to architecture in ways that are not so easily explained, but nonetheless relevant to our appreciation of it. What does this have to do with electronic dance music?! If you haven’t noticed by now, EDM is presently being mainlined into our culture. The bleeps, booms and hi-hats are outgrowing their “underground” cage, and it is about [...]
After the glorious debut 'We Go Straight Ahead EP' (LUV004) for Luv Shack last summer, LeSale returns with his 'LeSymphSexeOny' release. When listening to the remixes (by Lee Stevens & Domino / Simonlebon & Jakobin) you can see the steady... READ MORE

Steve Mason est un grand artiste. Incontestablement, l'ancien leader du groupe Beta Band a cette classe écossaise que les autres n'ont pas. Avec son nouvel album Monkey Minds in the Devil's Time , le chanteur dévoile un côté éminemment plus politique. 11 interludes sous forme de reportages viennent s'intercaler entre les 9 chansons. Ces intermèdes ouvrent les yeux sur notre climat social tendu. Ce n'est pas pour rien si le titre de cet album s'inspire d'une expression bouddhiste qui désigne "esprit inattentif"... Ce "double album" a été enregistré à Londres avec le producteur Dan Carey (Franz Ferdinand, Django [...]

Katie Stelmanis et sa bande sont de retour avec un nouveau single! Nous avons maintes fois manifesté notre amour pour la pop synthétique de ce groupe venue de Toronto. En tant que dignes représentants de l'effervescence de la scène canadienne indie, Austra et leur premier album Feel It Break étaient parvenus à s'imposer sans difficulté comme un groupe de qualité dans les coeurs des amateurs de pop alternative. Aussi froide que le pays dans lequel elle a été mûrie, la dark pop des torontois nous avait fait dansé [...]
Domino Records is happy to announce the forthcoming release of Olympia , the new album from Austra , out June 18th. Olympia is an album of transformation. Though it has only been 2 years since Austra’s 2010 debut Feel It Break , it presents a quantum evolution in the Toronto-based band’s sound, structure & style. After 3 years of non-stop international touring with the likes of The xx, Grimes + the Gossip, when it came time to record Olympia , Austra had evolved into a complex [...]

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down / "City" I've enjoyed watching (well, listening, really) as Thao Nguyen 's sound has progressed over a few LPs. We Brave Bee Stings and All was a stunning debut ( "Bag of Hammers" still slays me), letting Thao and her voice and lyrics lead the way overtop rockin' but folksy guitars and drums. Know Better Learn Faster found her plugging in the guitar more often and playing around with lyrics and song structures. And now, with We The Common , she [...]

Alexis Taylor has long since been something of an unorthodox heartthrob – perpetually gawky, although recurrently heartwarming and with that, reliably reassuring. And whether it be with Hot Chip, About Group or owt else, his studied output has been consistently exceptional. The trend comes to continue with a newfangled collaboration with Cologne techno nut Justus Köhncke (a name which may ping a few sampled bells, given his recent soundtrack work with Irmin Schmidt of Can) as the duo combine to create under the guise of Fainting by Numbers . A pun on an artform renowned for its absolute artlessness, there's a commensurate [...]
