M83 RELEASE EXCLUSIVE “REUNION” 12” FOR BLACK FRIDAY RECORD STORE DAY 11/23

M83 are pleased to announce the release of their next single, “Steve McQueen”,on November 27th. Celebrating this exhilarating track the band decided to draw from their biggest inspiration and support system-the fans themselves. Partnering with Genero.tv Anthony Gonzalez selected French Director Balthazar Auxietre and Animator Sylvain Derosne’s (who has also collaborated with Spike Jonze) unique vision of a world honoring the “power of childhood, an eagerness for life, and the kind of paradoxical energy you have when you grow up.”

Auxietre describes M83’s overall body of work as “…a sound of his own, made with a kind of “epic fragility”, something very visual, very atmospheric, which can bring powerful images and energy as a filmmaker.”

Watch the official video for “Steve McQueen” here.

This third single from the critically acclaimed Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, continues the legacy of M83’s dazzling cosmic-pop, with exploding guitar riffs and driving drum beats, the listener is sure to be carried away. The single will be released with diverse and epic remixes from Alluxe, BeatauCue, MAPS and SALM.

“I think it is a reflection of my 30 years of being a human being. It’s a compilation of all my previous music together. It’s a retrospective of myself”, says Gonzalez.

DEVOTCHKA ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM

DEVOTCHKA LIVE WITH THE COLORADO SYMPHONY DUE 11/13 VIA CICERO RECORDINGS LTD

HEAR ALBUM TRACK "ALONG THE WAY" NOW VIA PASTE

November 13, 2012 sees the release of DeVotchKa's new album, DeVotchKa Live with the Colorado Symphony (Cicero Recordings LTD). The band, a melting pot of genres, forms an authentic and wholly original style of rock 'n' roll. DeVotchKa have been recording and performing for over a decade. "We have been working towards this moment ever since the band began," remembers Nick Urata, lead singer and frontman for DeVotchKa. "We've always had orchestral leanings, we wrote for more and more players with every album, when the chance to perform with an entire symphony came, we jumped at it. We thought it would be the perfect night for a live recording and hope the listener feels like they are in the room with us."

A once in a lifetime oppurtunity for a band, some of DeVotchKa's most iconic songs were revisited, restructured, and performed with a full 60-piece orchestra. Rather than hire a composer to create the charts for each instrument, the band took it upon themselves, with Tom Hagerman spending months locked away in his garage fleshing out each note that the orchestra performed.

The premise of charting DeVotchKa's songs for a large symphony began shortly after the release of the band's score for the film "Little Miss Sunshine". A critical and box office hit, the film was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar and, for DeVotchKa's soundtrack, a Grammy. The band finally received the attention they deserved around the world, headlining large venues and performing at practically every major music festival, from Coachella to Bonnaroo, Glastonbury to Pukkelpop. The band looks forward to performing with symphonies of all sizes whenever possible.

DeVotchKa Live with the Colorado Symphony gave the band a chance to have every melody, harmony, and counterpoint, recorded in the studio, to be translated to real people, playing the parts together.

The CD is available for pre-order from DeVotchKa's webstore now. The band will sign and personalize all pre-orders from their webstore, so grab one here: http://devotchka.myshopify.com/.

DeVotchKa is:
Nick Urata: Vocals, guitars, Theremin, trumpet, piano
Jeanie Schroder: acoustic bass, sousaphone
Shawn King: drums, percussion, trumpet
Tom Hagerman: violin, viola, accordion, piano

SANDER VAN DOORN SIGNS TO ROC NATION

With the explosion of dance music being what it is today, some of the most respected non-electronic record labels have been pursuing dance talent that crosses all musical boundaries. Dance fans know that Sander van Doorn is as versatile on the decks as he is in the studio and it seems Roc Nation does too.
Nothing Inside is the first single signed to Jay Z’s prestigious label from the Dutch superstar producer and DJ. With acts like Santigold, Calvin Harris, and MIA already signature artists on the iconic brand, Sander van Doorn will join the ranks of some of the most venerated artists in the music industry.

“I am incredibly happy about this signing because, as a producer, you always want to reach as many people with your music as you can. Nothing Inside is something I’m very proud of, so having it released on Roc Nation is absolutely insane! It’s a real honour to be on a label with so many amazing talents.”
 –Sander van Doorn

Nothing Inside continues to assert itself into the souls of all who hear it. Powerful music has a way of doing just that.

It is also a song that deserves to touch as many people as it can and Roc Nation will allow that to happen on a grand scale.

AZARI & III

Available for the first time in North America, AZARI & III features all the original tracks including the velvety refrains of “Reckless (With Your Love),” the creeping melancholy of “Manhooker” and the unhinged technopera of “Undecided,” along with previous hit releases “Hungry for the Power” and “Manic.” Heralded by tastemaker outlets (Pitchfork, XLR8R, NME) and mainstream media (BBC, The Guardian) alike, AZARI & III delivers a defining sound that relishes in its references while maintaining a futuristic perspective. AZARI & III contains an individual classic-future feel with trademark, lush synthesizer textures, biting soulful choruses and ominous overtones.
 
AZARI & III are launching their first North American tour as part of Sónar On Tour—a traveling event in association with Sónar Festival, an annual three-day music festival held in Barcelona, Spain—where they will perform live electronics and vocals.
 
Already establishing themselves as one of the breakout artists of 2011, AZARI & III originally formed in 2008 in the burgeoning Toronto electronic music scene and made their worldwide debut with the release of their early singles “Hungry for the Power” and “Reckless (With Your Love),” both of which erupted a storm of awe in the underground music scene and global electronic community. The group later collaborated with Friendly Fires on the track “Stay Here.” In 2011, they released their self-titled debut album in Europe. Known for their astounding live shows, AZARI & III have performed at numerous world-renowned festivals, including Glastonbury, Sonar and Lovebox.

Morcheeba singer SKYE Announces New Album, Back To Now

Out October 30 on [PIAS] America
Click HERE to check out the video for "Featherlight"

Trip-hop's undisputed Queen and Morcheeba frontwoman Skye returns this Autumn with her third solo record, Back To Now, released through [PIAS] America on October 30th. Production credits for the album, which is accompanied by lead single 'Featherlight', come from the Grammy Award winner Stephen Fitzmaurice (Paloma Faith, Metronomy and Professor Green).  In conjuction with the annoucement of the album, Skye shares the video for "Featherlight."

Back To Now sees Skye on assured form in the follow up to 2009's Keeping Secrets.The album began life in similar fashion to her two previous releases, in partnership with her longtime collaborator and husband Steve Gordon. However, in contrast to Keeping Secrets and Skye’s solo debut Mind How You Go, guitar and piano were laid to one side and tracks instead evolved from the early barebones of beats and loops. Aware of the potential of the raw material she had written, Skye specifically sought out the production services of Fitzmaurice; ‘I’d worked with Stephen before when he mixed (previous single) ‘Love Show’ and knew he’d be able to take these new songs to the next level’.

Fitzmaurice’s crisp production values couple with Skye’s ethereal voice to impressive effect, across a distinctly nocturnal soundscape. Synths bubble across early album highlights ‘Sign of Life’ and lead single, ‘Featherlight’, both anchored by Skye’s effortless vocals, whilst ‘Every Little Lie’s’ chorus mines a compulsive vocal hook to memorable effect.

However, Back To Now is by no means an exclusively synth propelled album, with strings employed to distinctive effect on ‘Bright Light’ and the possessive plea of ‘Nowhere’. Yet in all cases, it is the character and range of Skye’s vocals which underpins Back To Now. Layered on ‘High Life’, providing a tender counterpoint to the disquieting synths of ‘Dissolve’, and gliding across the percussive loops of ‘Little Bit Lost’, it is an ever arresting focus point.

 Tracklisting:
1. Troubled Heart
2. Sign of Life
3. Featherlight
4. Nowhere
5. Little Bit Lost
6. We Fall Down
7. Every Little Lie
8. High Life
9. Dissolve
10. Bright Light

CLAIRY BROWNE & THE BANGIN’ RACKETTES

AUSTRALIAN SINGER-SONGWRITER AND HER ENSEMBLE HEAD TO U.S. FOR FALL PREVIEW SHOWS. DEBUT ALBUM ‘BABY CAUGHT THE BUS’ TO BE RELEASED IN THE U.S. IN EARLY 2013
 
2013 is shaping up to be a busy year for CLAIRY BROWNE & THE BANGIN’ RACKETTES. The singer-songwriter and her band--an original interpretation of soul, jump blues, doo-woop, jazz and R&B with a lyrical tale to tell—are already a stylish sensation in their native Australia. After unforgettable gigs at Big Day Out, Melbourne Festival at the Forum Theatre, the Gold Plains, Falls Festivals and many late-night sweaty, sequined club shows along the way, CLAIRY BROWNE & THE BANGIN’ RACKETTES will perform two fall shows in the U.S. Tuesday, November 13 in Los Angeles at The Mint and Thursday, November 15 in New York at The Studio at Webster Hall.
 
Their Australian debut, BABY CAUGHT THE BUS moves through heart wrenching doo-wop wailing, to drunken pianos and tough hard-hitting soul. Produced by Steve Schram (Little Red, Little Birdy, Cat Empire). The record was recently named “Album Of The Year” by ABC Radio National and is drawing overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics, listen to the full album and see a sampling of critical reaction below. BABY CAUGHT THE BUS has spawned an international hit in first single “Love Letter.” With CLAIRY’s big, soulful voice and the horns leading the procession for the jazz-inflected, upbeat track, “Love Letter” was been hand-picked for Heineken’s award-winning campaign The Switch. Watch the clip as CLAIRY and her band bring to life a dingy, old bar. The clip has already received over 750,000 views on YouTube:

 Formed in 2009 over a mutual love of early rhythm n’ blues records, diva CLAIRY BROWNE and her harmonizing group of rogue musicians THE BANGIN’ RACKETTES began rehearsing in a condemned former coffin factory in the suburbs of Melbourne. Together the young band has come a long way thrilling both festival and club crowds alike with their refreshing, modern take on a big band wild theatrical performance, the nine-piece group’s stage show often starts with a marching band playing outside the venue, processions through the room, costume changes and cameos from singers and dancers within the crowd.

IAMX Announces "The Unified Field" Double A-Side Single in December

New Album Set for 2013

“Schizophrenic modesty incarnate” is the description IAMX’s Chris Corner gives to THE UNIFIED FIELD, the follow-up to the universally lauded album Volatile Times. For those who are familiar with the music of IAMX, this description fits like a velvet-lined black glove. “I want it to move you, to f*** you and to dictate the psychology of your offspring.” In advance of the release of their fifth album in early 2013, the double A-Sided single for the title track “The Unified Field” will be released, worldwide on December 3, 2012 via 61seconds.

At the same time primal, sensual, dangerous while also philosophical, intelligent and profound, Corner embodies a realm that connects head, heart and heavens while still being very conscious of innate rhythms and melody. The song, “The Unified Field” is a perfect example of that. “The song is based on a scientific theory rooted in quantum physics, that intends to bring together all other scientific theories and to bridge the gaps between consciousness, spirituality and science… a theory of everything so to speak,” he explains without condescension or aloofness. “I find this idea extremely powerful and exciting. It has been floating around for millennia from Taoism to Einstein but there is more science emerging recently to back it up.” While the background of the song is heady and steeped in concepts that would make Mensa blush, the song itself is an epic and expansively atmospheric track awash in echoes and space propelled by a midnight electro beat that’s equally built for a misty forest as it is for a danceclub. “This stuff keeps me awake at night with a racing heart and fired up imagination,” he continues about the song. “Some branches of quantum theory dig into the idea that consciousness pervades and creates all matter, that at the core it is what connects everything and everyone. I know all humans have this underlying nagging feeling that we are just wrapped up in a web of stuff, that particles inside us are just rearranged stardust billions of years old.”

Also included alongside remixes by Swiss electro artists We Love Machines who serve up a swirling, twitchy deep house track, and Faux Tales who rebuilds the song into a propulsive club remix, is the lilting ballad “Quiet The Mind” that highlights Chris’ trademark vocals. “I would say the production on this track 'Quiet The Mind' shows the acoustic extreme of the album,” Chris explains. “As with all IAMX records, there is a dominant electronic sound but this time more subtly intertwined with human performance. And of course the raw emotion is still a huge part of the album. It is just who I am and what I do, I can't get by without letting that stuff out.” Each of the two tracks will have accompanying videos on the single as well.

Recently launching an overly successful PledgeMusic.com campaign for the production and promotion of the new album, IAMX has raised the bar for crowd-funding, garnering over 480% of its initial goal. The project’s goal was initially reached astoundingly almost immediately at launch, to which he exclaimed, “Oh f*** me outrageously, I cannot understand this! 100% pledge crowd-funding reached in under an hour.” Link to the PledgeMusic page is here: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/iamx

 Once fiercely self-produced and independent, Chris Corner has opened the door to collaborations and production assistance for the upcoming record. On his YouTube network (http://www.youtube.com/iamx), he is documenting the recording of the new record and revealed that Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys, Temper Trap, Sneaker Pimps) will be co-producing the album with him. “Working with Jim really brought out subtleties in my singing and playing that I tend to ignore by myself so we wanted to show this throughout the record with more live recording,” he adds. “After Volatile Times, I promised myself I would never make another album alone, so I asked Jim if he was interested in co-producing from scratch with me this time. He had just won a Grammy so he was either going to ask for a fortune or for favours. He loves me so he did it for favours. He is a star, a comrade and gentleman.” To get a unique sound quality that always marks IAMX albums, Chris and Jim found the perfect location in Berlin. “We worked over a three month period in an old, f***ed up Nazi-Bunker studio in Berlin in the summer to get most of the programming and recording done,” he explains. “We chose this place because the huge underground halls had incredible reverbs… like singing in a church of evil. “

The upcoming album also marks the reunion of Chris with Liam Howe who formed their internationally-celebrated triphop band Sneaker Pimps. Collectively, they penned such huge international smashes as “6 Underground”, “Spin Spin Sugar” and “Sick”. “Liam came to Berlin and made a cameo appearance on the record with additional synth programming on some of the songs,” he recalls fondly. “He was really animated about the new material and wanted to offer his input. It was very generous and it turned out beautifully. Plus, it was a nice way to work with him after all the distance. It was the first time we have actually been in the studio together since Sneaker Pimps. Old working relationships are heartwarming when you are feeling the solitude and need back up to get over the endless self-doubt.”

Founded in 2004, IAMX has released four albums that cross genres from electro to dance to experimental burlesque to stripped-down pulsating ballads without losing its very-human soul. The media has taken notice, calling IAMX’s music "gorgeous... deliriously gloomy... and endearingly vulnerable" (Alternative Press), “hidden treasures for the ear that are so pristine, so lush and so near-perfect, that you want to share it with the world (9 out of 10)” (Blurt! Magazine), and “enthralling, highly theatrical mix of biting Brit Pop and electronica” (NYLON).

IAMX’s fifth album The Unified Field will be released in early 2013. The double A-sided single “The Unified Field” will be released internationally on December 3, 2012.

KILLING JOKE: New Track Stream Brought To You By Decibel Magazine

Today Decibel Magazine brings you “In Cythera,” from KILLING JOKE’s upcoming MMXII full-length. Set for North American release next Tuesday, October 30, 2012 through Spinefarm Records US, MMXII is a dense and multi-layered work. The songs – 11 in total --are great washes of sound; a death disco with mammoth slabs of guitar that soundtracks our dangerous times. It’s an end-of-time album that somehow finds moments of optimism in the downward swirl of the planet. Finding hope in the apocalypse, this album just could be KILLING JOKE’s magnum opus.

Sample “In Cythera” at THIS LOCATION.

At a time when the news is on fast-forward and the planet seems to be descending into lunacy, who better than KILLING JOKE to reflect such a sentiment? When their original lineup of Jaz Coleman, Geordie, Youth and Big Paul reconvened in 2008 after working together intermittently, that strange voodoo once again filled the room. Individually, they have a power, but together they have something sulphurous and strong that few bands can match. KILLING JOKE are not an average band with an average agenda; they lock the door and let the ritual commence, and MMXII is the result.

Dirty Bourbon River Show

Coming Live, from New Orleans:
Dirty Bourbon River Show

“Jesus Christ. The best band in the world"  – Chris Bopst, Original Founding Bassist for GWAR

The Local Show:
November 11: The Underbelly, Jacksonville,  FL

Since forming in early 2009, the Dirty Bourbon River Show has released 5 studio albums and played over 500 live shows, fast earning them a stellar reputation for their tight, multi-faceted sound and high-energy performances. They can be found bringing their blend of  “New Orleans Gypsy Brass Circus Rock” all over the USA, performing at festivals and respected venues year-round.

The Dirty Bourbon River Show is comprised of Noah Adams (vocals, piano, guitar, accordion, trumpet), Charles “Big Charlie” Skinner (vocals, trombone, wind toys), Matt Thomas (vocals, tenor, bari and Mississippi saxophone, clarinet), Jimmy Williams (bass, sousaphone) and Dane “Bootsy” Schindler (drums).

Their fifth studio album, Volume Three, continues to push their boundaries, pairing reflective, syncopated lyrics with complex, harmony-rich songwriting. As a full-time touring quintet of highly versed multi-instrumentalists, the Dirty Bourbon River Show strives to change the way we think and feel about music.
“A circus-like barrage of sound serving as entrance music for a magical mystery tour of whiskey-soaked French Quarter back alleys” – Rory Callais, Offbeat

P.O.S. album streaming

Minnesota Public Radio is streaming the new P.O.S. album We Don't Even Live Here (out on Rhymesayers). He's the revered kingpin of the Doomtree collective and the only creative visionary who could figure how to integrate guest spots from Bon Iver and Boys Noize into same record. Really recommend headphones for this one.

ULTERIOR - 'The Bleach Room' - THE NEW ALBUM

AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW!

Click To Pre-Order

COMPACT DISC    I    12" VINYL    I    DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

‘The Bleach Room’ is a dramatic showcase of Ulterior’s infamous brand of psychotropic overdrive. The colour, the contrast and the saturation are running on full blast and a burgeoning powerhouse of ice-cold motorik rhythms blend together synthesizer-hacked landscapes forming a glittering and completely uncompromising ten tracks of static-laced techno-pop; panoramic and mute. This is man and machine; soulless and pure.

LEGENDARY ELECTRO PIONEERS KRAFTWERK FIRST ‘ELECTRONIC’ ARTIST TO BE NOMINATED TO THE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL HALL OF FAME

2012 has been another gala year for Kraftwerk, revered musical pioneers and Dusseldorf's Zen masters of electronic minimalism. Kicking off the year with a mind-blowing performance at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Kraftwerk landed in New York in April to perform Kraftwerk–Retrospective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, a truly auspicious and unique series of concerts that ran April 10 – 17 at New York’s Museum of Modern Art to enormous critical acclaim.

The elaborate staging of the performances combined sound and 3D images to present more than 40 years of musical and technological innovation, with new improvisations and 3D projections. The albums were performed in chronological order:  Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity (1975), Trans Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Techno Pop (1986), The Mix (1991), and Tour de France (2003).

Later in July, Kraftwerk performed a special 1-hour set for the No Nukes 2012 festival in Tokyo, sharing the bill with Yellow Magic Orchestra founder Ryuichi Sakamoto. 

So it seems fitting that 2012 should end with yet another milestone for a group that has rolled back musical barriers with every forward-thinking phase of their career. Kraftwerk are the first purely electronic recording artist ever to receive a nomination for one of music’s most coveted and prestigious awards, a place in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame.

Having laid the foundations for four decades of computerized pop and dance music, Kraftwerk, led by founder Ralf Hütter, has influenced generations of artists in all genres, mapping musical futures yet to come. From Bowie to Daft Punk, New Order to Depeche Mode, Afrika Bambaataa to Björk, Dr Dre to Jay-Z, Radiohead to LCD Soundsystem and almost everyone in between, the mark of Kraftwerk is seemingly without end.

Kraftwerk’s most recent release was a special limited edition version of the 2009 Digital Masters Boxset The Catalogue released April 10, 2012. Originally released to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their landmark 1974 hit “Autobahn” and the long-awaited digitally remastered versions of their 8 classic albums, the CD Boxset contains 8 remastered CDs in ‘mini-vinyl’ card wallet packaging, plus individual large format booklets. However, this time, the set came packaged in a black box and was made available as an individually numbered, worldwide limited edition of 2,000 copies.

SIMON SPIRE

NEW ZEALAND INDIE POP ARTIST, SIMON SPIRE RELEASES
U.S. DEBUT OF FOUR-LETTER WORDS TODAY!

FEATURED ON THE AOL MUSIC LISTENING PARTY
WITH NEW VIDEO FOR “UNCOMFORTABLE”

SPIRE PARTNERS WITH SOCIALLY-CONSCIENCE FASHION BRAND JATALO,
FEATURED BY 1 BAND 1 BRAND

(NEW YORK, NY): Indie pop singer/songwriter Simon Spire hits the U.S. with a new album titled Four-Letter Words out today!  Spire has also released a new video for the single, “Uncomfortable,” from the forthcoming release. Originally from New Zealand, Simon Spire’s musical journey brought him to New York where he has lived for the last few years and where he ultimately wrote and recorded the new material. Four-Letter Words was produced by Rich Mercurio and Lee Nadel with mixing by engineer Brian Malouf (All American Rejects, Michael Jackson, David Gray).

Four-Letter Words, the second album from the Kiwi artist, showcases Spire’s talent for energetic, upbeat pop songs while still managing to cover considerable dynamic ground, highlighting a gift for lyrical depth throughout. Spire reaches for a revealing side, saying “the songs are about being radically true to the core of oneself, to the extent that there is constant openness to and inquiry into what’s driving us.”

Listen to the entire album this week on the AOL Music Listening Party: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/15

The album’s single, Uncomfortable, was released in September, followed by a video in early October. The video, which is currently being featured on AOL Music, can be seen here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXijs5SIoDA

A three-time award winner in the USA Songwriting Competition, and one of U.S. television network Channel One’s Top 20 Artists of the Year, Spire has also landed on the Top 20 and Top 40 airplay charts in New Zealand, with Four-Letter Words debuting at #6 on the New Zealand independent sales chart. The album has garnered advance praise both in the US and New Zealand.

“An exciting emerging songwriter…heartfelt and wise.”

-PopMatters

“Indie pop perfection…Simon Spire is going to be a star.”

­-Performer Magazine

"Gloriously vulnerable and emotive…Four-Letter Words’ sound is very versatile with comparable moments to Owl City, Ryan Adams and Sufjan Stevens, putting it on par with some greats in the alternative music scene."

-Muzic.net.nz

"While I would normally highlight my favorite lyrics, I'll refrain this time, because I'd be writing them all out. Plus, it's the music and Simon's voice that sells this so well."

-Relate Magazine

"Spire is a musically diverse talent with a Midas touch for great hooks."

-M2 Magazine

Spire has also recently teamed with the fashion brand, Jatalo. Jatalo is a socially-conscience brand that creates culturally inspired backpacks, to support the education of underprivileged children around the world. Simons songs traverse the ground between upbeat indie pop, and singer-songwriter introspection, making him a perfect fit for the international brand. Also currently pursuing graduate studies at Columbia University, Simon values the importance of education and is proud to be part of the organization stating, “I'm thrilled to be involved with Jatalo as they work to support education for children in need, and provide new opportunities for learning." Simon’s partnership with Jatalo has also grabbed the attention of the 1 Band 1 Brand organization, who is promoting the pair this week.

Simon Spire’s love for music began at a young age, but it wasn’t until he heard Nirvana for the first time at the age of 13, that he discovered his true passion for the guitar. Later, he discovered artists like Neil Diamond and Leonard Cohen, who sparked an interest in developing his talent for songwriting. His interest in understanding the influences that help shape our world drew him to a degree in economics and finance at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, all the while developing his abilities as a musician. He ultimately decided to pursue a career in his first love, relocating to the U.S. and releasing his debut album, All or Nothing, in 2008. With Four-Letter Words set for an October release in the U.S., Simon continues his love of learning, currently pursuing graduate studies at Columbia University.

The new Black Moth Super Rainbow record, Cobra Juicy. It's out October 23rd on their new label, Rad Cult, which will be distributed through the French Kiss Label Group. Perhaps you've seen some of the hullabaloo regarding his super successful Kickstarter campaign (pitched by Eric Wareheim of Tim & Eric; raised over $125,000 in 30 days!), his new record being available in grinning citrus mask-form (see image below) with a USB tooth, the singles "Gangs in the Garden" and "Windshield Smasher," or the bizarro video for the latter. I'd love for you to check out the new record and consider BMSR for coverage.

Boris announce split 7" with Asobi Seksu, UK & EU tour including All Tomorrow's Parties

Legendary Japanese trio Boris announce a limited edition split 7" with recent tour mates Asobi Seksu available as a Record Store Day exclusive release on Black Friday, November 23, 2012. Additionally, Boris post new headlining tour dates in the UK and EU, as well as appearances at All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK and State-X New Forms Festival in Holland. See dates below. The forthcoming split single features each band covering a song by the other. Asobi Seksu takes on Boris' majestic "Farewell" off of their Pink album, while Boris reworks "New Years" from Asobi Seksu's Citrus album here as "Neu Years", a churning dream pop gem. The vinyl edition includes a download card with 4 additional classic songs from both bands. Iconoclast trio Boris are widely known for their ability to breach styles and stretch sonic boundaries of all that is heavy, psychedelic, droning and downright cathartic. Their last three albums -- Attention Please, Heavy Rocks and New Album, all released in 2011 via Sargent House -- are perfect testament to the band's vast abilities. Over the span of two decades, the trio, bassist/vocalist Takeshi, guitarist/vocalist Wata and drummer/vocalist Atsuo has issued nearly 20 studio albums, as well as numerous collaborative albums -- including projects with Merzbow, Sunn0))), Ian Astbury and Michio Kurihara of Ghost (who also currently tours with the band as second guitarist) -- EPs and singles on various labels throughout the world. American dream pop band Asobi Seksu is widely known for their shoegaze influenced effect-laden sound. Since their beginning in 2001, the band led by vocalist/keyboardist Yuki Chikudate and guitarist/vocalist James Hanna has released four albums and various singles. Their most recent album, Fluorescence (Polyvinyl) hit shelves on Valentine's Day 2011 to much critical acclaim. Asobi Seksu toured supporting Boris in the fall of that year, cementing the friendship between the two bands leading up to this endeavor of mutual admiration covering each others' songs.  BORIS WINTER TOUR 2012 12/04  Brighton, UK @ Coalition 12/05  Manchester, UK @ Islington Mill 12/06  London, UK @ Scala 12/07  Rye, UK @ All Tomorrow's Parties @ Camber Sands  12/08  Leeds, UK @ Brudnell Social Club 12/11  Cork, IE @ Cyprus Avenue 12/12  Bristol, UK @ The Fleece 12/13  Birmingham, UK @ The Rainbow Warehouse 12/14  Hasselt, BE @ Kunstencentrum Belgie 12/15  The Hague, NE @  The Hague - State-X New Forms Festival 12/16  Karlsruhe,  DE @ Jubez 12/17  Lausanne, CH @ Le Romandie 12/18  Munich, DE @ Feierwerk e.V. 12/19  Dresden, DE @ Beatpol
