Here's this week's newly posted

ANR
Stay Kids new single 27 June 2011
Lush keyboard intro, dreamy vocals, a sexy medium paced thudding rhythm track... the crescendo chorus 'Just Stay Young'... this is a top track. Hope the edit includes the great airy vibes created in this mix. (There are parts of the vocal melody which remind me of something distinctly 1970s - just cant place it... yet).
Here's the press release... ANR is a two-piece band from Miami Beach, Mr Brian Robertson and Mr Michael John Hancock. Each member enjoys Giorgio Moroder, Phoenix, Prince, Liars and Funkadelic equally. In 2010, the duo hunkered down and recorded the Stay Kids album. Influenced heavily by the events of the year, particularly those near to their coastal dwellings, the post-apocalyptic pop record is by far the bands strongest effort to date. The sonic influence of childhood heroes Brian Wilson, Prince, and Keith Emerson as well as the music of the psychedelic warriors of today are very evident therein and continue to inspire the band as they work on new releases and remixes in 2011. Stay Kids is a big fun ride through about ten million style; a ride without any bumps, spilled drinks or ruffled feathers and damn: if each each song isn’t an effortlessly spun pop classic. 60s psych, 70s soft rock , 80s glitter, a teaspoon of cosmic funk, starbound guitars all blend together with ease and, well, just brilliant song-writing. And the key thing here is it just zips by and begs you to play it again and again and again.
Stay Kids was a Rough Trade Album Of The Week on import last month and import 7” copies of Big Problem sold out in a week. A brief UK trip at Xmas brought slots with The Concretes, Porcelain Raft and MNDR; radio sessions with John Kennedy and Steve Lamacq along with plays from Rob DaBank and Huw Stephens. Onstage, the pair add a rawer dimension to their songs, pummeling through sets with a louder, more virtuosic style than one might expect from simply listening to the records, revealing their love of American punk rock and the British and German progressive acts of the 1970‘s. Blazing out a Sonic Youth cover was how they ended the last show we saw. Born out of gallery and warehouse parties, ANR has become THE most-likely-to band from the South Florida arts scene, and just finished dates with Yeasayer, MNDR, Washed Out and No Age. They have just remixed Hercules & Love Affair, the Naked & Famous, Kele, Visions Of Trees, Million Young. The group is also actively involved in the South Florida music and arts community, organizing shows and aiding the efforts of local peers with production, engineering and scoring a number of short film projects and video art.
