As reported in early spring, legendary punk band The Damned signed a new label deal with Search & Destroy and announced plans for their 11th studio album. Now the band is pleased to announce that preparations are underway.
The band’s raw, primal and macabre energy will see its match in the studio this October in Brooklyn, NY with famed Producer Tony Visconti who for over five decades has produced some of the world’s most influential artists and their greatest albums (David Bowie, T.Rex, Morrisey, U2, The Stranglers, Iggy Pop and Thin Lizzy). On Engineer duties is four time Grammy-winning Producer /Engineer/Mixer Kevin Kline, who has also worked with Bowie and has spent the last several decades compiling an impressive list of credentials featuring premiere pop artists Peter Gabriel, Elvis
Costello, Burt Bacharach, Bryan Ferry and Brandon Flowers.
The New York Observer proclaimed, “The Damned are a band of infinite depth and a wide variety of pleasures… high-quality blurs of melodic punk, Beach Boys-ish flowery psych-pop, chiming, bittersweet post-punk, Moody Blues-ish bombastmopherics, spiraling goth and soaring faux soul, all brilliantly executed…”
It’s rather fitting that the band who in 1976 launched an alchemic, heady new British rock sound collaborates with one of the most important and influential producers in the history of rock.  “We want to do the unexpected,” noting that the new album will offer some of the old and a lot of the new. “We’ve never been predictable and well, neither has Tony. There will be a measure of experimentation and we know he’ll do his best to artistically challenge us. He’s been at the top of our producer list since we first started thinking about recording the album, dream come true he’s on board!” The as-yet-unnamed new album will be their first new album for nearly ten years and is the follow up to, ‘So, Who’s Paranoid?’ which came out in 2008.
This news also comes with a change in The Damned’s line up. The Damned  announce the bitter sweet news of the departure of bassist Stu West. “We had a great time with Stu on this long journey. We have infinite respect for him and are forever grateful for his contributions to The Damned. As a result of this mutual understanding, we respect his decision, support him wholeheartedly and wish him the best of luck and success.”
Furthermore, The Damned reveal that once again they will reunite with their former bass player Paul Gray (Eddie and the Hot Rods/Johnny Thunders (New York Dolls, Rob Tyner (MC5)/UFO), who was an essential part of the Damned during the 80s and who played bass on previous Damned albums “The Black Album” and “Strawberries”. Gray will be joining the Damned in the studio this fall.
A dizzying mix of dedication, creativity and stubborn will continues to fuel Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Monty Oxymoron, and Pinch.  While The Damned’s 40 year journey has been challenging, rewarding and shocking at best, they continue to reign as Punk’s original connoisseurs and feel very positive about what lies ahead in the future.  That evidence will be heard on their new album and in venues worldwide as the blitz continues on their Evil Spirits Tour set to rock intimate venues through out the UK this January.

About The Damned:
Formed in 1976, The Damned really need no introduction…  As well as releasing the first ever British punk single and album, they also broke further new ground as the first UK punk act to tour America. The Damned still receive their dues in the US, where they are often cited as a major influence on many future rock acts, including bastions of the nascent US hardcore scene such as Black Flag and Bad Brains plus heavy metal heavyweights such as Green Day, The Offspring and Guns ’N’ Roses. The band recently celebrated four decades together with a deluxe reissues package and a world tour.
About Search and Destroy:
Raw Power Management oversee a roster of internationally successful acts which include: Bring Me The Horizon, At The Drive In, While She Sleeps, Of Mice and Men, Don Broco, Mallory Knox, and others.  The company’s record label Search and Destroy is home to, among others, Bullet For My Valentine & Atreyu.  Search and Destroy is a joint venture with Spinefarm Records / Universal.

Slow Magic releases another hot single – “Drum.”

Slow Magic Shares New Single “Drum”
Listen Here

New Album Float Out October 6th On Downtown/Interscope

Catch Him On Tour Now

Slow Magic is sharing a new single, “Drum,” from his new album, Float, coming out October 6th on Downtown/Interscope.

“I spent a week in Stockholm last summer recording the drums for the whole album,” he explains. “I always play drums live along with the songs, but Float is my first time recording live drums directly. I decided to keep it simple, just two toms and one cymbal. I wanted to capture the simplicity and limitation of using only a couple of drums.”

“After recording the drums, the record really came together and started sounding complete,” he continues. “A few months later at home I was listening back to the drum mixes and started building something completely new with them. That’s what ended up being the song ‘Drum.’”

“Drum” follows previously released singles “Mind” (feat. Kate Boy) and “Light” (feat. Tropics), both of which are sampled on “Drum,” along with every other song from Float. “I wanted to make a song that reminded people of their animal instinct.”

Slow Magic is currently touring the world in support of Float headlining his biggest rooms yet. “I’m planning a lot of new things that I haven’t done before. There will be a completely revamped live show with a ton of new music. I’m hoping people that have been to my show and people that never have will all feel like they are experiencing something they never have imagined.” A full list of dates is below.

Levitation Austin festival to return in 2018.

File this under: Best News You’ve Heard Today.  Austin, Texas’ annual Levitation Festival returns April 26-29, 2018.

The flagship Levitation festival (the others are in Chicago, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Angers, France) was cancelled this year after the organizers, the Reverb Appreciation Society, took a heavy loss due to the 2016 Austin festival being cancelled due to storms and flooding.  Make up shows were quickly scheduled, but many attendees got shut out of those thanks to ruthless ticket scalpers.  The RAS bounced back a bit this year with their Angers festival, but fans hoped the Chicago, Austin, and Vancouver shows would return soon.

There’s no word on the Chicago festival (which is usually the first of the four and held in early spring), but the announcement of the Austin festival’s return is great news and a good omen for the other Levitation shows.

Tickets for Austin aren’t on sale yet, but don’t wait too long to score them.  The demand will be greater than normal.  See you there.

Keep your mind open.

Kauf’s new single, “Limestone,” is out now.

Limestone Artwork

Insomniac shares ‘Limestone’

The next single from Kauf’s Regrowth LP, Limestone, has been premiered by Insomniac as their track of the day and by KCRW on Morning Becomes Eclectic!

“The chorus comes from something my boyfriend and I have proudly said to other people—that ‘we never fight,’ which is true. We don’t yell or get into big, heated arguments, but that’s definitely not the only sign of problems in a relationship….and the line ‘tongues tied in the limestone’ specifically refers to how your whole romantic history, and even before that with your family and friends etc, can all contribute to an inability to be fully honest sometimes” – Kauf.  Read more over at Insomniac
Listen Here – Spotify has supported the release by adding it to their massive Chill Vibes playlist.  If you’re a Spotify user, please save the track to a playlist to help boost its rank.

The album is finally all set for release on Oct. 13th!  We are happy to announce that Kauf’s own label, One Half, has partnered with INgrooves for distribution and is looking forward to releasing other artists in the near future.

You can pre-order Regrowth and pre-save it on Spotify HERE!
500 limited copies of deluxe double vinyl with bonus remixes from Fort Romeau, Ambassadeurs and Thomaas Banks, 1000 limited CDs, and tees are available on Bandcamp – cover art by Kauf through a process of hand painting a sculpture he created. All merch includes a digital copy of the album.

If you’re in the LA area, come check out Kauf’s album release show @ The Echo on Oct 10th.

Remixes of Limestone to come from Baile and Thomaas Banks of Psychemagik as a follow up to his otherworldly remix of Relocate.  Thank you all for your patience and support as we finalized everything for this release.  We are very excited to share so much new material!

PRESS RELEASE #1
ORB
have respawned from last year’s Birth with a further mutated slab of paranoid heavy metal, ‘Naturality’, out 6 October, 2017 on Flightless Records (AUS) & Castle Face Records (USA). They bring the dread with a kinetic muscularity and a pleasantly evolving synthetic strangeness, as if having eaten the wrong part of the garden, familiar things start to seem less so. The effects of these spores on your modern brain, already clogged with a steady drip of zips and zooms, are freshly heard and confusing. ORB are young and fleet-fingered, and certainly know their way around a riff, but they bring everything into an almost alien clarity both blunted and futuristic. ORB, you see, have ripened quite radically, and Naturality finds them sprouting new appendages and clawing at their enclosures. This is potent stuff, be careful. Listen to the first single, “You Are Right” now. Pre-order Naturality here.

Melkbelly announces tour dates with the Breeders and Bully.

MELKBELLY ANNOUNCE MORE TOUR DATES, INCLUDING SUPPORT FOR THE BREEDERS & BULLY, IN SUPPORT OF DEBUT ALBUM, NOTHING VALLEY, OUT OCTOBER 13TH ON CARPARK’S WAX NINE

(photo credit – Lenny Gilmore )

Chicago’s Melkbelly are set to release their debut full-length album, Nothing Valley, on Oct. 13th on Carpark Records’ imprint Wax Nine. Next week, the four-piece — Miranda Winters (vocals/guitar), brothers Bart (guitar) and Liam Winters (bass), and James Wetzel (drums) — hit the road for a run of pre-release shows supporting Protomartyr. Today, they are announcing more headline shows, plus support tours with The Breeders and Bully. All dates are below.

Emerging from Chicago’s DIY spaces, Melkbelly recorded Nothing Valley fresh off a west coast tour. The resulting debut album is organized noise and thoughtful freneticism. Throughout, they fuse dreamy vocal lines and cantankerous guitar racket as their songs clang and bang in stripped-down production that highlights the band’s sharp edges. Multi-faceted slabs of sound serve harmonious, immediate songs.

Cosmo Midnight release fun new single – “Mind Off.”

Cosmo’s Midnight Share Video For New Single “Mind Off” (Feat. Kudu Blue)
Watch Here
One of Australia’s finest electronic exports, Cosmo’s Midnight (Patrick & Cosmo Liney), have revealed the accompanying film clip to their recent single, “Mind Off,” featuring Kudu Blue.Directed by Melbourne-based production company Late Nite Films (RÜFÜS, Dappled Cities, Gang of Youths), the film clip features Patrick and Cosmo as the main protagonists. Breaking into wealthy homes and stealing everything from precious artifacts to record players, the boys come to a halt before a mysterious painting. A woman emerges from the artwork, hypnotizing the duo in what ends up being a surreal twist of fate.

“Mind Off” follows acclaimed single “History” which was released earlier this year via Stereogum. “History” took the duo on their maiden tour of North America, playing to record crowds and selling out shows at both The Roxy in Los Angeles and Rough Trade in New York. Meanwhile in Australia, “History” is currently 2017’s #1 played song on triple j, with “Mind Off” close behind, making it the duo’s second consecutive track this year to reach “#1 Most Played” status on triple j.

After astonishing crowds with their exceptional Splendour In The Grass performance in July, Cosmo’s Midnight set off on their biggest international tour to date. The duo recently performed on stages across Asia and New Zealand, catching up with Billboard China and HypeBeast along the way. Patrick and Cosmo recently wrapped up their world tour, playing a run of six shows in select cities across North America.

Cosmo’s Midnight have been drip feeding their excellence all year. With two international tours, two of 2017’s biggest singles and now an imaginative new video, they’re about to make a triumphant return to their homeland.

Kllo unveils North American fall tour dates.

Kllo Announce North American Headline Tour

Backwater Out October 20th On Ghostly International

Listen To Lead Singles:
“Virtue” – https://soundcloud.com/kllomusic/virtue
“Downfall” – https://soundcloud.com/kllomusic/01-downfall


Photo by Hayley Louise Brown

“’Virtue’ is a sterling new single… Ms. Kaul has an oozy, aspirated voice, and smears it tactfully atop Mr. Lam’s euphoric, quick-stepping production, which bridges fiery garage and joyous disco.” – The New York Times

“Once things get started on ‘Virtue’ it’s like a sonic boom. Heavy bass blasts find a home next to frantic dance beats and Kaul’s cooing, serene vocal delivery.” – Stereogum

“In its slow build and beauty, ‘Downfall’ feels like having ascended a ladder to a particularly gorgeous vantage point, and enjoying the journey on the way there, too.”
– Pitchfork

Kllo have announced their first ever North American headline tour this fall in support of their debut album, Backwater, coming out October 20th on Ghostly International. The tour marks Kllo’s first time performing material from Backwater live such as lead singles “Virtue” and “Downfall,” both of which have received early praise from The New York Times, Stereogum, Pitchfork and others.Kllo’s last North American dates were in Winter 2016 supporting RÜFÜS DU SOL with a pair of one-off headline shows including a packed house at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn for their New York City debut. This time around they’ll headline multiple nights in NYC including brand new venue Elsewhere. A full list of dates is below.

Kllo – an electronic pop collaboration between Melbourne cousins Chloe Kaul and Simon Lam – waded in figurative backwater for much of 2016 amid an extensive world tour. These were exciting times; the duo’s Well Worn EP furthered the promise of 2014 EP Cusp, receiving millions of streams and landing Kllo on festival stages as well as Artists-to-Watch lists. Nonetheless, the stretch kept them far from home, isolated and vulnerable, treading through perpetual uncharted territory while yearning for the comforts of the familiar.

As a result, Kllo’s full-length debut depicts inner adjustment to outer change. Songs were written partially on the road and developed back at Lam’s bungalow, a haven that harbors creative spontaneity and catharsis.

“It’s the first time we hadn’t felt like kids anymore,” says Kaul. “We were really able to dive in deeper and bring out a lot more of us into the music.”

Kllo first emerged with a sound beyond their years; fully formed, fusing elements of R&B, UK garage, and 2-step. Well-versed students of artists like James Blake, Lauryn Hill, and The xx, the duo extend an amalgamation of established pop elements with modern sensibilities and wide-eyed sincerity. Backwaterarrives as a refined, coming-of-age account. The LP format finds Kllo with more room to breathe and sync their rhythms with emotions. Kaul’s smoky voice emanates with assurance and leisure. Lam’s production invents brooding, steely undercurrents hemmed with charming crescendos.

Kllo have officially come out the other end of the stilted estuary with twelve compositions cultivated to feel timeless and crafted, and equally current. The duo’s second release on Ghostly International — and their most realized work to date — Backwater celebrates the ephemeral and the enduring changes in emotion, the downfalls and the dissolves. It’s an album that parts course with its flow, and flourishes in a lowland.

On the heels of the release of their debut EP, Fading Youth, hotly tipped DJ / Producer duo Punctualpresent the official video for title track “Fading Youth.”
Watch Punctual’s “Fading Youth” Video:
https://youtu.be/Ox6sIH6hYzU
“Fading Youth” touches on more of a pop crossover with slick harmonies and soulful vocals while signature track “What I Love” is the kind of bubbly feel-good anthem described by Mixmag as “injecting a new lease of life into the summer banger.” “Mela” brings back the pace with an infectious sample over a driving 4/4 beat and final track “Real” perfectly rounds off what is an exceptional debut EP.

Drawing inspiration from garage to classical, and citing Floating Points, Todd Terje and Robert Glasper as influences, the pair have been immersed in their local music scene since meeting in Bristol at University. Punctual have harnessed these influences to create rich, textured and timely music for their generation.

The pair continue to grow from strength to strength having had radio support from the likes of Pete Tong, DJ Target and Elton John and having recently supported The Avalanches on tour as well as playing coveted slots at Glastonbury and Lovebox festival.
