Bombay Bicycle Club
Shuffle new single
Another top tune from Bombay Bicycle Club, liking the jerky piano intro and uneasy rhthm track.. nutty!!
Bombay Bicycle Club release their third album, ‘A Different Kind of Fix’ on August 29th through Island Records. The album is preceded by brand new single, ‘Shuffle’ on August 22nd. Receiving its world premiere on Radio 1 - as Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record - ‘Shuffle’ emerges from a looped piano sample to burst forth into one of the band’s biggest songs to date, as the piano loop recruits gargantuan drums and bass that march to an epic chorus on their way to a house break of Balearic proportions. In a little over three years, the band will have released three LPs – an extraordinary and increasingly rare feat in the 21st century music industry. From the teenage indie kicks of their debut; to the sparse, timeless folk of last summer’s top ten album, ‘Flaws’ (nominated for an Ivor Novello Award); the quartet open a new and beguiling chapter with, ‘A Different Kind of Fix’, one that cements their place at the very forefront of British bands in 2011. Recorded in Hamburg, London and Atlanta, ‘A Different Kind of Fix’ captures the sound of a band effortlessly progressing and innovating at a startling rate. Guitars are firmly plugged back in for album number three, but added to the mix with potent results are synths, sampled loops, layered vocals from all four band members and washes of reverb throughout.
Production-wise, the album reunites BBC with Jim Abbiss - who produced their debut - and also introduces them to Ben Allen – noted for his work with Animal Collective - whilst lead singer, Jack Steadman co-produces throughout.
Indeed, Jack has been quietly making electronic music as a bedroom side-project for the past few years, and these sounds gently permeate throughout the rich and textured production on ‘A Different Kind of Fix’. An electric guitar album with a human heart for sure, but one with a bionic pulse.
BBC play all major UK festivals this summer including headlining Underage Festival, headlining the second stage at Latitude, playing the Other Stage at Glastonbury and the Second stage at Reading/Leeds.

Dry The River
No Rest new single 11 July 2011
This is good, left field, "Did you see the sweat on my brow, fear in my eyes..." Another kind of back in the day almost prog rock arrangement. Hmm tasty.
Here's the pr....
Dry the River have announced details of the release of a new single. No Rest will be released through RCA on Monday July 11th 2011. The single, to be released, digitally, was produced by Peter Katis (The National / Interpol) at his Connecticut home-studio and is taken from their debut album sessions – the album is due for release later this year. No Rest follows the release of their debut single, New Ceremony, which came out as a limited 7” through Transgressive earlier this year and sold-out on pre-order. Following rapturously received shows at this year’s SxSW Festival (The NME hailed them as one of the highlights of the week), sold-out London gigs over the last few months at the Lexington, Barfly, The Nest, the Luminaire and Bush Hall, the band make a significant jump in announcing a headline show at London’s Scala and a run of regional dates in September.

JUNE
24th Pilton Glastonbury Festival
25th Pilton Glastonbury Festival

8th Eastleigh Eastleigh Festival of Music

Tickets for the Scala show in September are priced at £9 (£7 in Manchester, Nottingham and Bristol and £5 in Kingston) and are available via www.musicglue.com/drytheriver.
Dry the River formed in spring 2009. Based in a shared two-bedroom house in Stratford, east London the five came together via circuitous geographical and musical routes. From singer-songwriter Peter Liddle, born in Norway and drawing narrative inspiration from university studies in medicine and anthropology, to once homeless drummer Jon Warren, with his background playing in DIY punk bands, via classically trained violinist Will Harvey, the band are a diverse bunch.
Musically the back-history is no less intriguing, with the band citing an esoteric list of influences - Leonard Cohen, At The Drive-In, Neil Young, Arlo Guthrie, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bruce Springsteen and Devendra Banhart. The last few months have seen the band play their first shows in the U.S., prompt an impressive response to their much-watched Black Cab and watchlistentell sessions and pick up support from Radio 1, 6Music, NME, XFM, The Fly and The Sunday Times.
Footage of the band’s recent incendiary live performance at Pianos in New York can be viewed here:

Dry The River are: Peter Liddle (vocals / guitar), Matt Taylor (guitar), Scott Miller (bass), Will Harvey (violin) & Jon Warren (drums).

Tribes
Sappho new single 15 August 2011
Oh yeah, loving this, superb intro, into the song in seconds... great lyrics, like a back in the day... loud then mischievously quiet... "How do you a child that there's a God, how do you tell a son that his daddy left his mom when he fell in love with a girl like you... with a girl like Sappho with a girl like you". Cracking new single from a great new band.
