07 July 2015

LIBEREZ - 419 Chop Your $

With only a couple of weeks to go till Liberez release their new album, All Tense Now Lax, the Southend-on-Sea experimental industrial outfit are enticing us further with a new single. ‘419 Chop Your $’, offered with an accompanying video, is described as “a brooding collage of smudged percussion and eerie strings, with obscured vocals that lead up to the refrain of “It’s just a game”, the unnerving repetition at odds with the sentence’s meaning.”
Check out the video below and watch out for the album’s release when it drops on July 24th via Night School Records.

In other related good news, Liberez are performing a record release show on July 27th at Cafe Oto in London.

Naytronix returns with second album Mister Divine

03 July 2015

Naytronix - Mister Divine

We have been waiting for a new album from Naytronix since the Oakland based multi-instrumentalist and producer released his 2012 debut Dirty Glow, which was a Pick of the year then and remains a favourite. News of Naytronix’s much anticipated follow-up have finally emerged. Mister Divine will see the light of day on October 16th via City Slang. Crafted mostly on the road whilst also rocking the bass with tUnE-yArDs, as the press release explains, Mister Divine “sees him turning from the disjointedly funky party dance anthems of his debut Dirty Glow to a surrealist stream of consciousness poignancy.” The album is described as “the feeling of déjà vu between delirious post-show fevers and the road-torn sleep through the night on the way to the next city, driving the circumference of the Earth in nine weeks, dreams of Pangaea, of forever ago and infinity from now.”.

Nate Brenner, the project’s mastermind, recorded the album with the help of guitarist Mark Allen-Piccolo and percussionist Robert Lopez. Mister Divine also features contributions from fellow Beep! member Michael Coleman and fellow Oberlin Conservatory members Matt Nelson and Noah Bernstein.

It seems like a long wait till October but we can already hear a taste of what Naytronix will be throwing at us with the wondrous title track now available to stream. Listen to ‘Mister Divine’ below.

Watch Son Lux’s video for ‘You Don’t Know Me’

Son Lux - You Dont Know Me

Hot on the heels of the release of their new album, Bones, Son Lux are now offering a video for the mighty ‘You Don’t Know Me’. The effort was directed by Nathan Johnson and created by The Made Shop and it features Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) and Noah Segan (Looper).

Here’s what director Nathan Johnson said of the video:

“When Ryan first sent the album over to The Made Shop, this was the song that I kept coming back to. It touches a pretty raw nerve, and we wanted to explore the song in terms of the empty rituals we often see in relationships and, to a larger degree, religion.

We wrote the video specifically for Tatiana and designed everything around her performance. She’s such a phenomenal actor, and she brings something so compelling to the role – this powerful figure who is stuck in the vacancy of routines that have lost their meaning.”

Here’s the video.

Bones is out now via Glassnote.
