The Stranglers are the last true survivors, most highly revered and original British bands to emerge from the late 70’s UK punk scene. If the Sex Pistols were the iconic British punk band of the late seventies, The Stranglers were the most genuine, a real reflection of what was going on whilst being the most commercially successful without any compromise. Four decades, 17 albums, and 24 Top 40 hit singles later, the four-piece originally from Guildford, are making a welcomed return to North America for the first time in 20 years and will be releasing their 17^th studio album titled ‘Giants’, out on 05/28/13 (All My People & Fontana/INGrooves).

 

Hit singles such as Golden Brown, Peaches, No More Heroes, Skin Deep, and Strange Little Girl, have secured the band a firm place in the rock and roll history books. Regularly hitting the headlines with an instinctive nose for controversy and confrontation, the band’s genuine aura of danger and cool combined with tough, and imaginative songs, they created original and dynamic melodies and bass driven aggression that has influenced so many bands to this day.

 

 Their legacy has not only inspired countless bands across the globe, but they are also one of the longest standing, continuously successful and original bands of our time, thanks to their dedicated international fan base, a knack for writing killer signature songs, and an undeniable ability to deliver top rated live performances. Their return to North America is an opportunity to see one of the few British bands that still reflect so much of what that iconic period was really about.

 

In 1977 the Stranglers released their extraordinary debut album, Rattus Norvegicus and firmly established themselves as the world’s first progressive punk outlaws. Seminal long players like No More Heroes and Black and White followed before the band released probably the finest live album of that era, Live (X Cert). Later that year The Stranglers surprised and surpassed all expectations by releasing the gentler more evocative album The Raven and it is that album’s legacy that’s left its mark on latter-day Stranglers recordings.

With the forthcoming release of ‘Giants’, and their single ‘Mercury Rising’ out now and available as a free download in the US, fans and newcomers now have the chance to experience and enjoy brand new material that remains ever so true to that classic Stranglers sound, and at their very best. “The band are currently on a creative and performing high and are really up for a visit to both the US and Canada.” says Jean-Jacques “JJ” Burnel the man responsible for the band’s signature overdriven bass sound. Their upcoming tour will take the UK legends all the way from the mid-west, up to Canada, New York City and the east coast, then winding up in sunny California for the Iron & Ink Festival. Be sure to catch The Stranglers live this summer.
Tickets go on sale March 22^nd

The Stranglers are JJ Burnel (bass and lead vocals), Dave Greenfield (keyboards) Baz Warne (guitar and lead vocals) and Jet Black (drums).

 

'Giants' is out 05/28 in North America.

ADULT. Announce New Record Out 5/14 On Ghostly

 

ADULT.

"A good friend of ours said after hearing an advance copy of this record that ADULT. used to sit on the sidelines and critique the idiosyncrasies of culture, but now we are on the inside, sending our message out." So says Adam Lee Miller of The Way Things Fall, ADULT.'s fifth album and a record that genuinely deserves the oft-abused music industry epithet "long-awaited." Miller pauses before adding wryly, "We agree." The Way Things Fall is an album that looked like it might never happen, because since the release of Miller and his partner Nicola Kuperus' last record — 2007's Why Bother? — the duo have been largely absent from the world of music. "After a long world tour, we totally burnt out," Miller relates. "We decided we wanted to do something completely different." That something was a trilogy of films entitled the Three Grace(s) triptych, completed in 2010, along with a variety of other pursuits, including managing a major commercial building renovation and working on their visual art projects.

When Miller and Kuperus re-entered the studio in 2012, there was no intention of making another album — they planned to record a 12" containing two new songs they'd written in 2012 for their return to live performance at the Detroit Museum of Contemporary Art. But it turned out that the time away from music had recharged ADULT.'s batteries, and then some. "We were apparently a dam that was ready to break," says Kuperus. "We were writing frantically, as if in a frenzy."

The result is a record that sounds both focused and coherent, flowing with a conceptual ease. "[The album] flowed efficiently and agreeably for us," says Miller. "We have never worked better together. We believe this is because we exorcised all of our demons through our past records, we have no baggage, we started anew. We left behind the self-conscious adolescents." And indeed, ADULT. have never sounded so self-assured, so poised, and so vital.

The songs are some of the most memorable the band have recorded — Miller describes them as "the closest we have to come to writing traditional 'pop' songs, even though we know they are totally mutants," and he's right on both fronts. From the whiplash synth lines of the opening "Heartbreak" to the ship's bell sample that closes the record, the songs are full of the sort of memorably twisted melodies we've come to expect from the band. Analogue sounds predominate, and notably, there's no bass guitar at all: "This wasn't a conscious decision, but something realized at the end of the process."

The lyrics address issues that Kuperus describes as "personal and universal," illustrating themes of relationship-related fear and doubt with striking and occasionally surrealist imagery — "Nothing Lasts" finds Kuperus claiming "I can see in to your mouth/ Down into your throat/ Straight to your heart/ Tears me apart", while the somber "A Day Like Forever" deploys images of time stretching and disappearing, and "Tonight, We Fall" describes feelings as tangible objects that "stick to you, stick to me." The contrast between the reflective lyricism and the squelching analogue synth textures they inhabit creates music that's both deeply heartfelt and viscerally thrilling, something that's been a constant feature of ADULT.'s work over the years.

Previous Press / "Grim, stripped-bare techno, razor-sharp synth-pop, and snarling electro-punk...It's terrifically conceived and even more terrifically crafted, the sort of record so perfect in its own aims that parsing out influences or agendas seems a fool's game. These tracks, this duo, this entity that is Adult.: they're a great and interesting thing, this nation's best inducers of head-banging, high-speed driving, amazed chuckles, and giddy bedroom shout." Pitchfork "Itchy gothic synthcore...Detroit's eeriest, scariest, plain witchiest couple...Compressing the sound of gothic cathedral symphonics into the frame of a stuttering, cobwebbed Casio, Millar ratchets up the disco glitch into a ferociously minimal, hyper-tense techno rush." NME "Sterile, synth-soaked productions." XLR8R "Like snorting Paxil-laced Adderall off a Fad Gadget lithograph, Adult. is cathartic cabaret for the sketched out...The gnarled vignettes aim to alienate, which only further endears core fans, whether electro heads, electroclash survivors or no-wave fetishists. URB

WATCH JULIANNA BARWICK PERFORM IN PHILIP JOHNSON'S GLASS HOUSE

WATCH JULIANNA BARWICK PERFORM IN PHILIP JOHNSON'S GLASS HOUSE
7" AVAILABLE ON SUICIDE SQUEEZE RECORDS
TOURING THIS SPRING

Today, NPR is pleased to share a lucid & exquisite clip of Julianna Barwick performing "Offing", a new song off Barwick's upcoming record due later this year. The show took place at architect Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. It is the inaugural performance of a new series called Night Sounds, which parallels the Night (1947-2015), an on-site sculpture-in-residence program that sees a new artist whose work engages with the current sculpture on display. Barwick's piece features Ken Price's sculpture Doola (2011). Watch the video here.

Barwick also returns with two new haunting compositions for a 7" single out now on Suicide Squeeze Records. "Pacing" features Barwick's voice and layered harmonies, "but it's a bit of a diversion from the vocal loop-based songs I tend to make," she says.  "I absolutely love the piano. I wish I could play it better. For the cover, I chose my friend Peter Coffin's photograph of a piece he did based on the Newton color scale that corresponds directly to the musical scale. I absolutely love the image and it is also in accordance with the piano pieces on the single." The b-side,"Call," is a frail and passionate solo piano piece.

Wire To Release Change Becomes Us On March 26

 Wire To Release Change Becomes Us On March 26 

Download "Love Bends" At Stereogum 

Second Set In The Band's Legal Bootleg Series Available Now 

 Download: "Love Bends" via Stereogum

Wire has announced the release of Change Becomes Us due March 26 on Pinkflag. In anticipation of the album's release Stereogum is running an MP3 premiere of "Love Bends." Additionally the band properly launched the second set in the "Legal Bootleg Series." The newly released live recordings are from Wire shows and sessions at Nottingham Social (February 23, 2000), WFMU (April 4, 2011) and KEXP (April 13, 2011). More information and order links are available on the band's website.

In spring 2012, Wire's plan had been to convene at Rockfield Studios in Wales to review the rudimentary blueprints of songs that had never made it beyond a few live performances in1979 and 1980 - a time when the band-members were in creative overdrive yet the band itself was disintegrating. The aim wasn't simply to resuscitate and record old songs; in fact, many of them hadn't become proper songs in the first place, existing only as basic ideas or undeveloped parts. Rather, the objective was to approach that unrealized work as an oblique strategy, a potential springboard for Wire's contemporary, forward-looking processes - a possible point of departure for new compositions.

This took place with Wire firing on all cylinders, as a four-piece studio entity again, the core line-up of Newman, Graham Lewis and Robert Grey now enhanced by guitarist Matthew Simms. Simms had played a key role in helping the band to cultivate and shape its new sonic landscape throughout the preceding year's live work. Out of the exploratory Rockfield session and subsequent, extensive development and production at Newman's Swim Studio, the ostensible source material became, in the classic Wire tradition, something quite other than what it may have once been - or what it might have become if it had been pursued in 1980.

"Love Bends" is a case in point. Its roots lie in "Piano Tuner (Keep Strumming Those Guitars)" - the raucous, octave-hopping number performed in February 1980 at the Electric Ballroom in Camden and preserved on Document and Eyewitness. But it's now morphed, improbably, into an irresistible, totally modern pop song. "It had to be turned into something else," explains Lewis, "because it only really had one bit." Just as improbably, the gently lilting "Re-invent Your Second Wheel" is tangentially connected to the notorious "Zegk Hoqp," which was more of a one-time happening than a song at the Camden gig: mostly shouting and banging, executed by a stage- full of Wire cronies in funny hats. "It was written for performance, around people with newspaper headdresses; not with music in mind," Lewis emphasizes. Similarly transformed, "& Much Besides" is a six-minute oneiric-melodic interlude that gives no hint of its putative origins in "Eastern Standard" - a dreary, obtuse three-minute track from the Electric Ballroom concert.

Newman's songwriting and production on Change Becomes Us reimagines the past in ways that ultimately break any substantive connection with it, making entirely new pieces - and these songs themselves enact Wire's restless drive to become other, often thriving on a fundamental tension between opposing sonic characteristics. With its stop-start, soft-hard, quiet-loud structure, "Adore Your Island" veers between what Newman describes as "prog and unhinged punk rock," never quite resolving itself; the drama of "Attractive Space" hinges on a progressive splitting of the song's personality, between its calm, expansive, anthemic orientation and an increasing sense of intensity and claustrophobia.

Change Becomes Us encapsulates the paradoxical essence of Wire's creativity. The tendency of these new songs to refuse a single, settled identity is emblematic of the band's ever-evolving aesthetic - one that's always hinged on sustained tensions and oppositions: between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the comfortable and the unsettling, the melodic and the brutal, the cerebral and the visceral, the smart and the moronic, the obvious and the inscrutable, the rational and the absurd. This intrinsic, core ambivalence generates the essential otherness that has characterized Wire's most memorable, distinctive work - from the epochal innovations of Chairs Missing and 154 to the electronic-pop deconstructions of A Bell Is A Cup to Send's postmodern-punk expressionism and the widescreen lyricism of Red Barked Tree. Change Becomes Us is an undeniable part of that illustrious lineage. Definitely more than just a good idea at the time. - Wilson Neate (Author of Read & Burn: A Book About Wire)

The Knife-A Tooth For An Eye

 

A TOOTH FOR AN EYE

Directed by: Roxy Farhat and Kakan Hermansson

 

 

Today, The Knife unveil ”A Tooth For An Eye” from their forthcoming album Shaking The Habitual and premiere their video directed by Roxy Farhat and Kakan Hermansson.

“A Tooth For An Eye” deconstructs images of maleness, power and leadership, Who are the people we trust as our leaders and why? What do we have to learn from those we consider inferior?

 In a sport setting where one would traditionally consider a group of men as powerful and in charge, an unexpected leader emerges. A child enters and allows the men to let go of their hierarchies, machismo and fear of intimacy, as they follow her into a dance. Their lack of expertise and vulnerability shines through as they perform the choreography.

Amateurs and skilled dancers alike express joy and a sense of freedom; there is no prestige in their performance. 

The child is powerful, tough and sweet all at once, roaring “I’m telling you stories, trust me” (a quote borrowed from Jeanette Winterson’s novel The Passion).

There is no shame in her girliness, rather she possesses knowledge that the men lost a long time ago.

Watch the film on theknife.net

 

The track 'Tooth For An Eye' is available to download next week on Tuesday March 12th, 2013, Shaking the Habitual will be available on April 9th, 2013.

 

A TOOTH FOR AN EYE SONG LYRICS:

Under the sun
Look what we have got
And those who haven’t
Bad luck

We’ve been running ’round
Pushing the shopping cart
January twothousandtwelve
Even in the suburbs of Rome

A brick in a castle
A camp for those on the run
Dance as weapons
Release my

Eyes eyes eyes eyes tell me you
Some other kid is sucking on my thumb
Eyes eyes eyes eyes tell me you
Another kid needs to suck on my thumb

Under the sun
Picking piles of flowers for the flowers’ pot
It’s all that I’ve got

On my doorstep
A screaming hand
I’m telling you stories
Trust me

Rewrite history
To suit our needs
Open my country
A tooth for an

Eye eyes eyes eyes tell me you
Some other kid is sucking on my thumb
Eyes eyes eyes eyes tell me you
Another kid needs to suck on my thumb

Border’s lies
The idea of what’s mine
A strange desire
Drawing lines with a ruler
Bring the fuel to the fire

4/17 – Napa, CA – Uptown Theatre
4/18 – Monterey, CA – Golden State Theatre
4/21 – Indio, CA – Coachella Music Festival – Main Stage @ 7PM

Pitchfork premieres IN CONCERT version of “Children of the Sun” HERE

Dead Can Dance will release In Concert through [PIAS] America on April 16^th.  In Concert is comprised of a selection of recordings from Dead Can Dance’s 2012 US tour.   Available April 16^th on CD and an extended digital edition, the release includes songs from Anastasis, the band’s first studio record in 16 years, as well as cuts from the group’s extensive catalog.  A triple LP version is set to be released shortly thereafter.

The band has also announced a string of West Coast dates including a main stage performance at Coachella. Dead Can Dance’s current year-long world tour is their first since 1995 and features 85 shows across 4 continents. Performing to over 400,000 people, the band have appeared at some of the world’s most iconic venues incl. Sydney’s Royal Opera House, London’s Royal Albert Hall and New York’s Beacon Theatre. Dead Can Dance will also make various festival appearances this year and having confirmed slots at Coachella, Primavera and Roskilde.

“I would say without hesitation that this has been the most rewarding tour that we have ever undertaken,” notes Brendan Perry. “On one level it has been an absolute pleasure to perform in such beautiful locations with such a wonderful band and crew, but also to be able to connect on a personal level with the many devoted admirers of our art both old and new. It would seem in our case absence has certainly made the heart grow fonder and it has been an absolute joy to be given the opportunity to be able to share our music in the ultimate setting of the living work”

On the cover of ‘Anastasis’, Dead Can Dance’s first album in 16 years: a field of sunflowers, ripened, and then blackened, by the sun, standing with sad, slightly crowned heads. Less dead than dormant, the heads and stems will one day be chopped, but then via the roots, will return. For ‘Anastasis’ is the Greek word for ‘resurrection’ and the seemingly dead will dance again.

“I thought ‘Anastasis’ was a good title given our reunion,” explains Brendan Perry, who, with Lisa Gerrard, formed the band in Melbourne, Australia in 1981, releasing seven studio albums, and one live album, before going their own ways after 1996’s ‘Spiritchaser’. “’Anastasis’ also means ‘in between two stages’,” he adds. “Regeneration comes with the next season.”

‘Anastasis’ is perfectly apt given how the album is an astonishing regeneration of the legendary beauty, power and spellbinding nature of the duo’s unique sound and vision. Age hasn’t withered DCD, not the passing of the years; if anything, the album sounds bolder, stronger, more confident in its vision..

A Greek word to represent the album is equally derived from the music’s origins. While Perry can hear echoes of DCD past, “from right across our catalog,” he reckons the core of Anastasis can be found, “slap bang” in the near-Eastern Mediterranean, from Greece and Turkey across to North Africa. “The music I listen to and research becomes both unconsciously and consciously part of a new project, and for this album, I’ve been fascinated by the classic immutable elements of Greek culture, the depth of their music and their love for song that you don’t get as much in the west; the way they combine philosophy and love songs, and throw a bit of science in there too. I love the eastern influence that comes from being a crossroads between east and west, the kaleidoscopic mosaic of those fused cultures, while the further west you go, the more it’s a mono-cultural society.

Perry says the duo have been talking about another album since Dead Can Dance’s world tour of 2005. But that extensive tour was exhausting, and the incentive was lacking, so it was put on the backburner until calendars could again be synchronized – not so easy since Perry lives in the center of Ireland (the land of his ancestors), where ‘Anastasis’ was recorded (at Perry’s converted church studio Quivvy) and Gerrard lives in Southern Australia. Once upon a time, they left Melbourne for London, settling many floors up in a council block on the Isle of Dogs, putting whatever pittance they had into their music.

Signed by 4AD and releasing their first album in 1984, the duo drew rapturous reviews for albums that spanned neo-classical and folk across time and geography, each album selling to a progressively larger audience, the emotional drama of their coming to the attention of the San Francisco ballet, Hermes Perfume and a documentary on Hitler and Stalin; likewise motion pictures such as Heat, The Crossing Guard and Baraka. Gerrard developed her own solo film soundtracks - The Gladiator and The Insider, for example – while Perry worked on solo albums such as 1999’s ‘Eye Of the Hunter’ and 2008’s ‘Ark’. The pair dissolved their physical relationship in the early ‘ 90s but something keeps them together – a bond of deep friendship and musical compatibility and understanding, and so Anastasis is born, and Dead Can Dance regenerated.
