One of my favorite parts of this whole blogging process is "discovering" new artists who have a great sound but just have yet to gain any type of international exposure. As terrific as it is to get submissions and new material from familiar favorites, (don't stop sending stuff!) there is just something special about the pleasant surprise ofquality jams from an artist that you've never been exposed to before. Introducing Thomas Barrandon : Thomas is a French musician and composer who produces what he classifies as Electro/Experimental music under the name 125#.

I've been meaning to feature Trophy Wife for a while and the release of 'The Quiet Earth'/'White Horses' gives me just that opportunity. The band, who humorously describe their sound as "ambitionless office disco", have made quite a reputation for themselves with the Moshi Moshi release 'Microlite' at the tail end of 2010. This double A-side release is [...]
![[Listen] – New Song By Trophy Wife – "Discovery"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3294956_lg.jpg)
Recorded as part of a new TV series being shown in the U.K. from April, Trophy Wife recorded this new song from their upcoming debut album for Abbey Road Debuts. The show is going to put a focus on some of the best new music around whilst at the same time having the artist record the songs in the world-famous Abbey Road studios in front of a small audience. The first two installments are for Trophy Wife and Mount Kimbie and although the Mount Kimbie piece is done, shortly after Anorak upped the song to their [...]
The EP as a whole is more mellow, chilling and isolated than euphoric, but it still has a human warmth and depth to it. Trophy Wife – The Quiet Earth /White Horses (Moshi Moshi) is an article from: Addict Music
Record Label: Moshi Moshi Release Date: 28/02/11 Link: Official Website Oxford trio Trophy Wife are releasing a new double A-side, and it will only help to continue their steady growth into the pop stratosphere. The Bowie-esque dark disco of 'White Horses' will be dominating dance floors soon enough, even if it's more of a head-bobber than a foot-stomper. Lacking the swagger of many other Moshi Moshi artists, 'Quiet Earth' is a moodier affair, with a steady drumbeat pulsing behind [...]
This Trophy Wife tune, The Quiet Earth , is as bright as frontman Jody Prewett's socks in the opening shot of the video. It's infectious from the start, with a big nod of the guitar neck to Foals. The video is pretty quirky too. So let's fly off in the wind for the weekend with Trophy Wife. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc9dQk NtRJk
As far as I know there's still no word on when Trophy Wife 's new album will hit the TV (they're only selling it via late night infomercial ad, not available in stores!) but they've been amping up their online presence over the last few weeks, releasing remixes, new singles, b-sides, infomercial pilots....you name it. A few days ago they upped "White Horses", the b-side to their latest single "The Quiet Earth" and it's still keeping par with their previous efforts, getting kinda ghostly off and on and playing with some U2 shit. Me likey, [...]
Trophy Wife are out of Oxford, and you might remember their track Microlite which came out last year. Doodly guitars (but not in the penis sense), and some really nice vocals. Well, the guys have got a new AA single out on Feb 28 through Moshi Moshi. The tracks are The Quiet Earth and White [...]
Office disco slash upbeat indie drawlers Trophy Wife secured a lasting impression on the fall out of 2010 with debut single 'Microlite' and are back in 2011 to consolidate their position with 'The Quiet Earth' on Moshi Moshi Records. Drawing on the progression of indie into the new year their sound has matured to fit an evolving audience from boppers to medium term dreamers! 'The Quiet Earth' is a foreboding track with quaint and focused harmonies much like the push foals made in their careers (for the better be assured). Fellow Moshi Moshi compatriot James Yuill [...]
If there's one city to keep an eye on for musical offerings in 2011, then it has to be Oxford. With the likes of Foals already established, and bands such as Alphabet Backwards, Spring Offensive and Trophy Wife hoping to stir up the mainstream, there's quite rightly an enthusiastic vibe around the city's music scene. Having signed to Moshi Moshi Records toward the latter end of 2010, Trophy Wife are beginning to make a name for themselves with their melodic, lush sound. Numerous comparisons have been made to math-rock outfit Foals, so it's no surprise to learn they are tour [...]
Audiovisuals // Trophy Wife - The Quiet Earth Jaunty and sharp rhythms get their visual match. Trophy Wife's new video comes with a sign-language translator who starts getting into the song and then, well, see the results for yourself.
Just a week after Trophy Wife gave us 'The Quiet Earth' they now have a video to accompany it, and a very unique one at that. Read More >>
When I first posted about Trophy Wife back in September, they went all cray cray on The Hype Machine, and just a few days ago they went cray cray again with their sparse and baltic "Microlite", their debut single on Moshi Moshi. As part of their followup single they'll release "The Quiet Earth" as a double a-side with "White Horses" (yup, that means some more sexy new vinyl to add to your collection). It's another cold and echoing tune, just like the others and I can see their full length being filled with anthems like these [...]

stream // Trophy Wife - The Quiet Earth One of 2011's brightest prospects in the form of Oxford trio Trophy Wife return with what can only be described as a fulfilling new single. You got the sense with ' Microlite ' that despite all its charming, soft-to-the-touch qualities, it might just be one of those heart-wrenching one offs. Not to be. ' The Quiet Earth ' has the same minimal core while the poignant melodies of old remain and it requires repeated listening almost immediately. A [...]
{CERTIFIED NEW} Today we can bring you a new track from the ever pleasing Trophy Wife . 'The Quiet Earth' is another classic example of the bands ' ambitionless office disco ' aesthetic, mixing the mellow vocals with the their soulful, funk tones. The new double a-side single will be released on February 28th through Moshi Moshi, more info on the track 'White Horses' when we get it. Trophy Wife have been one of the best breakthrough acts of 2010 , [...]
Le Matos est composé par 3 canadiens, que j'avais remarqué il y a un an pour leur remix du track Prend Une Photo Avec Moi de Omnikrom (les TTC du québec), mais ils ont refait surface récemment avec des remixs de We Have Band, Delphic, Terrestrial Super Receiver et surtout de Comme Des Enfants de Coeur de Pirate qui est vraiment extraordinaire. Seulement, pour cause de droits on ne peut pas vous le diffuser ici, mais si jamais vous tombez dessus (elle est notament sur leur myspace) vous verrez la qualité du résultat.Ils ont quelques tracks originaux à leur actif [...]

On connait surtout Le Matos pour leurs remixes aussi bons les uns que les autres d' Omnikrom ou dernièrement de Coeur de Pirate . Cette fois ils nous reviennent avec une prod plus posée, plus longue et toute aussi réussie avec un début très atmosphérique. A noter que nos amis québécois se produiront à Montréal le 31 janvier prochain, ça fait loin pour nous français c'est sur mais bon... Le Matos - Quiet Earth 320 kbps mulit-links > mediafire ▪ [...]
It is Sunday afternoon... at some point I started to ignore these loud church bells...(I was like hey Quasimodo, take it down a little...please....) my TV set went out the window a few years ago. you know that feeling when you are all by yourself after you got "home" from a long night? that's when you can focus most...that's when ideas just come to you...yes they beg you to love them back and give them life... This is the moment when you can either make a record, write poetry OR you can watch The Quiet Earth [...]
