Hot Chip: ‘Made In The Dark’

Artist name: Hot Chip Album name: Made In The Dark Label: EMI Gender: Electronic Indie/Pop Release date: February 4, 2008 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: www.hotchip.co.uk The electro pop Londoners from [tag]Hot Chip[/tag] have always struck me as your typical smart asses and I simply love them for that. Their awesome blend of smart and humorous knack has always made them terribly appealing to me and since their epic 2006 breakthrough, The Warning, I’ve been a fan….

New Morcheeba video: ‘Enjoey The Ride’

The electro infused UK duo of [tag]Morcheeba[/tag], are preparing for their sixth release, their first one without long time front lady Skye Edwards, titled Dive Deep. Left without a vocal lead, the duo was forced to collaborate with various non-permanent artists like Thomas Dybdahl, Cool Calm Pete etc, that although brought a fresh dose of music, caused Morcheeba not to sound Morcheeba anymore. Such is the case with “Enjoy The Ride,” featuring vocals from the…

Radiohead air new webcast live on 8 PM London time

I sense a disturbance in the force ! [tag]Radiohead[/tag] must be up to something … again and their not being very discrete, although as always surprising. If you’ve had loads of fun with the Brits previous webcasts, thumbs down and scotch_mist, then you’ll be thrilled to know that the band have announced, as always though their deadairspace, a brand new live webcast on radiohead.tv, tonight! The cast will air sometime around 8-ish, London time, from…

Morcheeba ‘Dive Deep’ into the new year

The trip-hop UK duo, of [tag]Morcheeba[/tag], are just a few weeks away from their highly anticipated new album, titled “Dive Deep,” release. With over 6 million albums, several tours behind their back and some of the most moving and instantly recognizable tunes throughout the nineties, Paul and Ross Godfrey are confident they’ve made a record that’s set to propell them back into the spotlight. Actually the Godfrey brothers consider Dive Deep as a “emotional blueprint”…

Radiohead announces North American tour

After releasing a set of European tour dates, now [tag]Radiohead[/tag] have sorta/kinda announced some North American locations, but no venues, no dates, just 22 mapped US and Canadian cities. At least you know where to expect them. Meanwhile In Rainbows sits well on the #1 of the Billboard 200, with 122,00 units sold in it’s second week, after a more weak first week (timing didn’t help). Radiohead is set to perform the North American tour,…

Goldfrapp stream: ‘A&E’ + new cover art

Back in autumn we introduced you to [tag]Goldfrapp[/tag]’s new forthcoming forth album “Seventh Tree,” set for release on February 25. I gave it a few premature spins and can say that it sounds quite great, a bit different from what Alison Goldfrapp and the group that shares her last name used to perform in the past, but still retaining that mellow pop extravaganza, that made the group so big. Seventh Tree’s first single is A…

M83: Couleurs (stream)

Anthony Gonzalez, more known under his electro moniker of M83, has always been a favorite of mine in terms of ambient electro music. His music is extremely refreshing and ecletic, plus his use of ambiental guitar kinda makes him fall into the shoegazing genre. “Saturdays = Youth”, is M83’s fifth studio album and promises to be his best yet, as it’s set to deliver the rich sonic textures for which M83 is well known –this…

Radiohead add more dates

A while back [tag]Radiohead[/tag] announced, on their blog, that further copies of In Rainbows box set will not be produced (guess they’ll get pretty valuable in the future) and that the free download, of the digital In Rainbows, will stop as well, starting from 10 December 2008. Despite the fact they’ve put a bit of a cork on it, the band has decided to gracious with even more tour dates, two to be precise, as…

Radiohead unravel mystery tour dates

Mystery seems to be a [tag]Radiohead[/tag] trademark, from cryptic runes (those were fun though), to a sporadic out of the blue new album, to a basement gig footage and most recently details have surfaced of the band’s much anticipated 2008 tour. The dates for the summer European tour were announced yesterday and included some vague schedueling for Manchester, Dublin or Glasgow; at the time I didn’t know if this was intentionally put to confuse or…
