Record Store Day is here folks. It doesn't matter if you've got your eye on something new or a swanky re-release, the most important thing is to just get out and support the stores any way you can. Cool? Cool. Bristol label/musical hub of goodness, Fear Of Fiction , are again putting something out for RSD. This year it's a six-track, screen-printed, limited edition CD and we've got a premiere of the teaser video below. It's called Family & Friends and this is what they have to say about it; [...]

By now, we seriously hope you guys are familiar with TJH87 , aka Timo Juuti and Hector 87 . If not, we suggest you catch up with their latest release ' Break Away Kicks! '. Today we have something quite special from the Finnish duo: A mashup mixtape entitled ' Friends ' that boasts a whopping 32 tracks in barely four minutes. It's extremely impressive, and touches every base imaginable. Take one look at the track-list and try to tell us you're not intrigued in [...]

• TJH87 - Friends (Mashup Mix) + Video!

Loads of great tracks have trickled into our consciousness this week. Here are a selection of the best... Rhye ~ The Fall You may remember Rhye from the quite-stunning debut single that dropped earlier this year. Details about everything have been kept to a minimum, but we knew that The Fall is the title-track from a debut EP that will be released on November 12th via  Innovative Leisure/Polydor. More up-tempo than Open ( see here ), The Fall [...]

• AlunaGeorge - Your Drums, Your Love (Friendly Fires Remix)
• Keel Her - 'Riot Grrrl'
• Rhyemusic - The Fall
• SHIELDS - Mezzanine

I need to do something about my inbox. I thought I'd have to give some sort of disclaimer regarding how I'm a little late on the "new" part, but after wading back through several tabs of email, I realized this track was sent to me just two days ago. The music world is flying, and little ol' me is struggling to keep up (...mind you, I'm 24). Listen to "Get Me Golden," through to the end, because just as you think it can't get any catchier, it explodes. The nasal vocals may seem off putting to start but [...]

After releasing their solid debut LP Thrashin' , Brooklyn's Total Slacker are back with a new 73, Brain Slime . The limited edition of 300 pressings is out on Japan's Sixteen Tambourine Records . The band will also have a split 73 with fellow Brooklyn band Friends out sometime this month, as well.

Brooklyn’s Woods have been making underrated psych-rock over six records and are gearing up for the seventh, Bend Beyond , which’ll drop soon on their own label Woodsist. In the meantime, you can sample a single that sounds like its title: “Cali In A Cup.” This one’s a shimmering slice of sunshiney psych-folk, with the least corny use of harmonica we’ve heard in a long time and a laid-back, nostalgic vibe that’ll make you learn for backyard barbeques not for the drunken raucousness, but for the time spent with friends . It’s [...]

AlunaGeorge are doing some exciting things in the next-level pop space; it's a rare day that goes by without us playing "You Know You Like It." In what's perhaps a moment of stunning self-awareness, AlunaGeorge have remixed fellow pop startups, Friends , and their breakout hit "I'm His Girl." AlunaGeorge beatsmith George Reid has never been shy about influences and studio heroes, but we don't think he's ever been this shamelessly gushy. To our [...]

In a few days Friends drop their eagerly anticipated debut album Manifest! and in anticipation they've let another track from it see the light of day. 'Home', a taught pop-funk belter, continues the rich vein of form that has made Manifest! so anticipated in the first place. Crossing the grooves of Friendly Fire with early CSS, it will make you want to find the sun and walk with a spring in your step. No bad thing ay? Check out 'Home' below and follow the link for previous single 'Mind [...]

Whomadewho - Brighter The Weekly Froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy. Track of the week: ‘Below the Cherry Moon’ by WhoMadeWho WhoMadeWho will be releasing a new album this year, and I’ll be seeing them live in a few weeks and they’re magnificent while gigging, but sometimes [...]

Brooklyn’s Friends caught our attention in 2011 with the effortlessly cool, hyper-catchy girl-group sass of “I’m His Girl,” and, in a recent session with BBC’s Radio 1, they proved they’re not a one-trick pony with super-sexy synth-pop jam “A Thing Like This.” Continue reading: Check Out: Friends Read more articles like " Check Out: Friends " on PMA | Pretty Much Amazing .

'Friend Crush' is an electronic jaunt by Brooklyn outfit Friends , and is about a protagonist who, as the title suggests, wants to be someone else's friend. But don't let the blatant simplicity fool you. 'Friend Crush' is textured and clever. Cloaked in electronica, it's nothing more than an all-American pop song. Stream 'Friend Crush' below: Friends - Friend Crush .mp3

Having self-released a cassette EP earlier in the year and a 73 single in May, the female-duo of Christa Palazzolo and Sarah Brown - better known to you and I as Boy Friend - have unvelied the title-track to their forthcoming debut LP, Egyptian Wrinkle , which is set for release in early 2012. The album was apparently recorded in Austin "surrounded by dogs, bongos, and plenty of warm Texan vibes." The band have been compared to the Cocteau Twins and, if this song is anything to [...]

Just listening to Friends for a while can win you over. This new Brooklyn based quintet calls its sound "Tropicool" or "Rhythm and Post- punk". Their debut single, "Friend Crush" was out earlier this year and the catchy "I’m his girl" follows up. This latest single is set for release on October the 31th, and [...]
