Liverpool natives Tom Dempsey, Barry Fearns, Stephen Johnston and Siôn Keir make up the recently formed experimental quartet Wired to Follow.
The foursome are currently working on their first EP, due out in February.
Ahead of it, Wired to Follow dropped their debut single in the form of a free download via Soundcloud. ‘I Wish I Could Talk in Technicolor’ grabs us by the ears quite gently as it slowly builds into an hypnotic and powerful track. Listen to it now.
Here’s the video for the recently released single ‘Catch My Breath’, taken from Beliefs‘ forthcoming debut album, due out in March 2013. Henry Sansom and James Mejia directed it.
Thom Yorke’s Atoms For Peace, the supergroup also comprising Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, Mauro Refosco and Flea, confirmed this week the release of their debut album, entitled Amok.

Atoms For Peace are offering a free download of ‘What The Eyeballs Did’, which was previously released as the B-side for the first single ‘Default’. Just head over to their website and scroll to the right through the stunning drawings till you find the clock tower. Grab the track there and listen to it below.
Elias Krantz‘s somophore album Night Ice came out last year via Country & Eastern, and earlier this year, it was re-released on vinyl.
The multi-instrumentalist, who hails from Stockholm, draws influences from various genres and bands. As the label describes, Krantz blends elements of post-rock, indie, instrumental, krautrock, neojazz, alternative, electronic, psychedelic, experimental and pop with “asymmetrical melodies, driving rhythms and ambient soundscapes”.
His latest single, ‘Young Ends’, has recently been complimented with a video, directed by Mexican artist Derzu Campos. Check it out below, and after the video, listen to the tantalizing B-side ‘Melting Point’.
Portland’s Eat Skull have announced the release of their third full-length album, aptly titled III. The quartet’s new effort is slated for a February 19th release via Woodsist.
III was created “on a fever train between states, cities, community colleges and jails”, as the band puts it. III is reportedly “a more psychedelic and perfectly circular outing” than their two previous albums.
‘How Do I Know When To Say Goodnight?’ is the the first cut to emerge and you can listen to it below.
Hot on the heels of their recently released album Dystopico, Swedish avant-garde trio Kriget, are releasing today a new digital single, ‘Holy Mountain’, via The Control Group. The single, backed with the B-side ‘Aghori Diet’, will have a physical 7″ release in January.
“With just bass, drums and a furious saxophone”, the trio of Christoffer Roth, Gustav Bendt and Per Nordmark, “take inspiration from pioneers in the margins of pop”, as the press release explains. Some of their influential outfits include Cybotron, DAF, Peter Brötzmann, James Chance and Ornette Coleman.
A video for ‘Holy Mountain’ is the works. Whilst we wait for it drop, be sure to listen to the frantic and fierce single below.
