OH LAND RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM WISH BONE

OH LAND RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM WISH BONE DUE LATE SEPTEMBER VIA DAVE SITEK'S FEDERAL PRISM LABEL


Oh Land
  
Danish alterna-pop chanteuse Oh Land, aka Nanna Øland Fabricius, is gearing up for the release of her highly-anticipated new album Wish Bone. Due out late September, the album will be released via Federal Prism, the new imprint launched by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek. Featuring her distinctive brand of left-field pop, Wish Bone includes collaborations with Sia and Dave Sitek, among others. SPIN is exclusively streaming a sneak peak from the album, "My Boxer," asserting it "a slinky banger, which bobs and weaves with jabbing percussion, glitch electronics and a dangerously hummable melody."

Wish Bone is the long-awaited follow up to Oh Land's 2011 self-titled album that garnered overwhelming acclaim, with SPIN declaring it one of "20 best pop albums of 2011," and Details praising its "fizzy, danceable electro-pop in the mode of Lykke Li and Florence and the Machine.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for an announcement about Oh Land's upcoming single "Renaissance Girls"!

Soul singer Charles Bradley will continue to bring the "artistry, gratitude and boundless enthusiasm (Village Voice)" on display during his live shows to stages thoughout 2013, in support of his latest album Victim of Love (Dunham/Daptone). In addition to his previously announced late-summer tour stops including Lollapalooza, FYF Fest, Bumbershoot and a headline show at Williamsburg Park in Brooklyn, “The Screaming Eagle of Soul” just announced December North American dates. Fans can hear a preview of Bradley’s soul stirring live show today on World Café: http://www.npr.org/programs/world-cafe

By now, Bradley’s remarkable, against-all-odds rise has been well documented: how he transcended a bleak life on the streets and struggled through a series of ill-fitting jobs before finally being discovered by Daptone's Gabriel Roth. The documentary Charles Bradley: Soul of America, directed by Poull Brien, follows Bradley’s extraordinary journey during the electrifying and transformative months leading up to the release of No Time for Dreaming.  The film premiered at SXSW 2012 and will be screened at select theaters across the country in coming months (current screenings listed below). The film will also be available to purchase on DVD August 6 via the Daptone store (pre-orders available now) as well as digitally via iTunes starting July 16.

The year following the release of No Time For Dreaming was one triumph after another: a stunning performance at South By Southwest; similarly-gripping appearances at Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Newport Folk Festival and Outside Lands (to name just a few); television performances including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Last Call with Carson Daily, and spots on Year-End Best Lists from Rolling Stone, SPIN, GQ, Paste and more. Victim of Love sees Bradley emerging from his past heartaches stronger and more confident, overflowing with love to share.

OF MONTREAL ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM

OF MONTREAL ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM

SHARES NEW SINGLE "FUGITIVE AIR" VIA PITCHFORK

LOUSY WITH SYLVIANBRIAR OUT OCTOBER 8TH VIA POLYVINYL

STREAM: "fugitive air" - 
   
Defining of Montreal is impossible. There are too many perspectives to consider, angles to explore and layers to uncover. Just when you think you have a concept of what kind of creature they are they transform into something unexpected and new. As a result, each album holds the opportunity for re-discovery, re-immersion, re-appreciation.

On lousy with sylvianbriar, this paradigm holds true once more. The record was created with a new songwriting approach, a different recording method, and a fresh group of musicians. Seeking creative inspiration, Kevin Barnes re-located to San Francisco where he spent days soaking in the strange surroundings and channeling the city's energy into his writing. After a very prolific period there, he returned to Athens, GA and assembled the cast of musicians to begin the sessions.

Barnes eschewed computer recording, with its pitch correction, limitless effects plug ins and editing possibilities. Instead, with the help of engineer Drew Vandenberg (Deerhunter, Toro y Moi), he recorded lousy with sylvianbriar in his home studio on a 24 track tape machine. With no computer tricks to fall back on, the band - Kevin Barnes (guitars, bass, vocals), Rebecca Cash (vocals),Clayton Rychlik (drums, vocals), Jojo Glidewell (keys), Bob Parins (pedal steel, bass), and Bennet Lewis (guitars, mandolin) - could only get out of the recordings what they put into them. Most of the tracking was recorded live with the band in the same room together. They worked quickly, with the band members composing their parts on the fly with little second guessing. The album was recorded in just three weeks.

"I knew I wanted the process to be more in line with the way people used to make albums in the late 60s and early 70s," reveals Barnes. "I wanted to work fast and to maintain a high level of spontaneity and immediacy. I wanted the songs to be more lyric driven, and for the instrumental arrangements to be understated and uncluttered".

Opening track and lead single "fugitive air" feels like a Stones-y anthem, with sparks of Philip K Dick's psychedelic prose, Ralph Bakshi's cartoon violence and William S Burroughs' hyper-paranoia. "belle glade missionaries" finds Barnes lyrically at his most political, backed by a soundtrack that is pure Dylan circa Highway 61 Revisited.

Female vocalist Rebecca Cash makes several appearances on the album, taking the lead on the plaintive "raindrop in my skull," where her and Barnes share a Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris-inspired duet.

"she ain't speakin' now" ranks among of Montreal's all-time great songs, transforming its brooding acoustic guitar intro into a visceral angst-ridden rocker that sounds like the best moments of Neil Young & Crazy Horse. The album's closer "imbecile rages", a caustic and doleful epitaph for a crumbling relationship, is one of Barnes' most raw and personal statements.

Like the classic albums that inspired it, this is an album to be explored, to be lived with, to be listened to in happiness and in darkness, to be dissolved into. To be played very loudly at parties and with eyes closed, in headphones, alone. It should become dog-eared and dirty with use and it should lessen the blow of our enemies, in all of their forms.

The album will be available digitally, on tape, CD and 180-gram vinyl. 1500 copies of vinyl will be clear green vinyl and available through Polyvinyl's E-store exclusively, while the other retail copies will be pink vinyl. Cassette edition limited to 250 hand-numbered copies on green cassettes, courtesy of Joyful Noise Recordings.

Noisey Video Premiere: The Black Angels "You're Mine"





VICE loves The Black Angels so premiering their latest video/visual acid dose was a no brainer for us. This quasi-Satanic Z-gore homage is the latest video from the Black Angels, Austin's pied pipers of scuzzy iso-tank psych. In addition to a seemingly endless procession of babes, the vid features an occultish chicken dinner, an new age jam sesh, and "special" "effects" straight from a Herschell Gordon-Lewis fright flick. It's off their new record, Indigo Meadow, which you can pick up by clicking right here. And be sure to catch the Black Angels on tour this summer—dates are below.
