Hello. I'm back from my self-imposed exile from blogging. My paternity leave ended this week, so now my life has become a whole lot easier, hence my return to here. It's been a funny old three weeks, but I'll not bore you with all the baby stuff. Suffice to say ...

EMIKA Other practitioners of doom are often found simply gazing at their shoes, as they wallow in their XX -induced depression, some try to scare you with their masks and mystery, but not Emika. She is as brooding and as heavy as anyone you've heard, from Portishead 's industrial paranoia, to DJ Shadow 's damp basement, to Burial 's bleak urban sadness. However, her outstanding vocals, that flick and skim back and forth are like silk on a razor blade. On occasion she has a kind of ghostly, banshee eroticism in her [...]

It may be the depths of winter here in the UK, but this London trio have sent the sounds of Summer 2010 ringing through my ears!!! Gary Barber, Simon Milner & Dominic Apa create an interesting lo-fi soundscape that's hi-energy. They have managed to create a uniquely varied and disjointed sound that works. The band release a debut single "When 'O' When" Jan 18th on Hitclub Records. The live shows are chaotic, mysterious affairs with the band masked and cloaked by self-made video projections. To dismiss them as gimmick-laden would be an injustice as they are infinitely talented. Check the [...]

Dagens första video är till Little Big Adventures låt Happiest Times och är gjord av Varelsen. Låten är det bästa spåret från EP:n The Hateful Eye EP som är släppt på Labrador Records. Vill ni ha låten som en mp3 kan ni ladda ner den här . I går tipsade vi om brittiska Is Tropical och berättade att deras debutsingel When O' When släpps i januari. I dag kom det ett mail där någon lyckats gräva fram vår mailadress för att berätta att [...]

Here's the official music video for "When O' When" by IS TROPICAL a London three piece band that's been making some buzz around the music scene lately. When I first watched the video, nothing special appealed to me except for the potato bag mouth pieces, but as soon as the first minute passed, the song took an unexpected turn and I fell in love. Directed by Gareth Phillips , check out the video for their single, releasing in January:

Is Tropical Masked avengers of wonderfully hissed-out, lo-fi jams, these Londoners drop their debut 7" 'When O' When' through upstart label Hit Club on January 18th. All crammed with hooky, playful melodies, fistfuls of shredded, reverb-heavy vocals and syncopated drums, these demos feel like diamonds in the rough..

Give Is Tropical's "When O' When" a couple minutes to heat up... and then feel uncomfortable. This track heads in a few different direction but never loses its raw pop roots. Reminds me of a mix between Test Icicles and the Klaxons.

Dos IS TROPICAL sabe-se que são três, que usam máscara e que o primeiro single sai a 18 de Janeiro com o tema do vídeo, "When O´ When" e "Seasick Mutiny". Podem ouvir no MySpace temas e demos. Gosto!!! Não serão os Is Tropical um alter ego dos Two Door Cinema Club?
