January 15th will see the release of Mystical Weapons‘ eponymous debut album, as we previously mentioned.
The duo of Sean Lennon and Greg Saunier have already whetted our appetite with the first single ‘Mechanical Mammoth’, released in October. Today they’ve shared a new enticing taste from the album, ‘Whispers The Blue Tongue’. Listen to it below.
Last week we told you Sweden’s Kriget had a video in the works to accompany the excellent and electrifying single ‘Holy Mountain’, lifted from their recently released album Dystopico. The trio have just unleashed the video, a slightly unsettling and weird effort, directed by Fredrik Joelson. Speaking about video, Fredrik said it shows “a time honoured ritual celebrating and appeasing the approaching dark season [in it] a nuclear family introduce their Alpha male to the secret meaning of the five elements.” Watch it below.
‘Holy Mountain’ is out now digitally and a physical 7″ edition will follow in the new year via The Control Group.
Throughout the year, Night Works aka Gabriel Stebbing, has been teasing his debut album with the release of three singles, as we previously mentioned.
Stebbing confirmed today that Urban Heat Island will hit stores on March 4th via Loose Lips Records.
The forthcoming album “sees Stebbing plunging down very different streets on the pop landscape indeed, taking in glacial synths, off-kilter R&B, offbeat disco and more” as the press release explains.
Coinciding with the album release, Night Works will also drop the new single ‘Long Forgotten Boy’, produced by Stebbing’s former bandmate Joseph Mount, the brains behind Metronomy. The single will be released with an accompanying video. Here’s ‘Long Forgotten Boy’.
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. The album will see the light of day on February 25th in Europe and February 26th in North America via XL Recordings.
