Patrick Wolf’s latest single “Damaris”

FmmS — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:41:16 +0000

“Damaris” is Patrick Wolf’s third single for his album “The Bachelor”. A song about love and sorrow, the video (directed by Patrick Wolf himself) featuring Gwendoline Christie in the part of Damaris, fits perfectly in this universe! Addictive strings build the song from the beginning to the end, accompanied by beautiful choir and Irish whistle. But the most interesting about this single are it’s B-Sides. “Peacock Skies” is an electronic experimental piece, already heard on the first episode of Patrick Wolf’s Journal (watch it HERE)

“Queen Isabella (The She-Wolf Of France)” is an amazing song that could fit perfectly in the album “The Bachelor”. Harpsichords, harsh beats, screams, strings, everything Patrick got us used to is here gathered on a beautiful instrumental for disturbing lyrics about betrayal and disloyalty ‘It was late last summer, I found out that you went to, one of those places, the men go to mate’ Mr. Wolf sings ‘What the fuck was I thinking, my heart’s still sinking, down to my stomach, down to my feet, she were my she-wolf’

To finalize, a beautiful acoustic mix of “Damaris” at St. George’s Church, reminding us how magnificent Patrick Wolf’s live performances are, whether acoustic or electrified to the maximum…

Featuring vocals by Chris Keating of the band Yeasayer, Simian Mobile Disco’s single “Audacity Of Huge” preceded the launch of the album ‘Temporary Pleasure’. “Audacity Of Huge” is one of the best dance hits I’ve heard in the last few years and it’s actually HUGE!!! There are also brilliant remixes of this song, Naum Gabo remix is my personal favourite… The vocals, the music, the video, everything is perfect… just watch and listen below.

Florence + The Machine’s new single “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)”

FmmS — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:28:36 +0000

Florence & The Machine’s highly anticipated debut album is out now and already nominated for one of the most important music prizes, Mercury Prize. To anounce it, the awsome powerful single ‘Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)’ with a great video…

BlackBambi

FmmS — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:28:30 +0000

What if Susanne Oberbeck / No Bra had a male version?! Well, the portuguese artist Miguel Bonneville managed to be that and even more with his project BlackBambi. The music is extremely similiar to what No Bra is doin, but BlackBambi creates a mental image that you can’t avoid and makes it so much more interesting… you’ll only understand by listening and watching the video for the single “Gisberta” which is below…

you’ll possibly enjoy RedFox, Ur MA or Bambi & The Wolf aswell.

FmmS — Sat, 23 May 2009 17:34:48 +0000

After two smashing singles “Quicksand” and “In For The Kill” La Roux comes back with “Bulletproof”. The first two singles were released by the French label Kitsuné, which released names like Fischerspooner, Cut Copy, Digitalism, Yelle, The Whip or Autokratz. Now signed to the major Polydor, La Roux is releasing her debut album on 29.06.09… For now we can listen with pleasure to the irresistible poppy new single “Bulletproof”.

Jonathan Chan says: “Me learning this great Joanna Newsom tune via Owen Pallett. I’m runnin the violin through a Boss RC20 Looper and a Boss ME50 multi-fx and reading lyrics off a laptop… I’m cool. Anyway, it’s a work in progress so please be kind!”

“Peach, Plum, Pear” is a song from Joanna Newsom’s stuning debut album “The Milk-Eyed Mender”, here played by the amazing Just The Architect…

A Journey Through “Two Suns”

FmmS — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:34:01 +0000

I found this little film called “Joshua & The Bat” which has previews for the songs of Bat For Lashes’ album “Two Suns”
On the official website there’s also this little information about the video:
“All the footage was shot in the beautiful Joshua Tree National Park in California and contains excerpts from all the songs from the new album, including the first single ‘Daniel’.”

Bat For Lashes – Two Suns

FmmS — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:16:19 +0000

It seems like a decade has passed since miss Natasha Kan released her debut as Bat For Lashes “Fur & Gold”, but it’s only been two years actually. What have she done this whole time?! She toured the world, listened 80’s pop (everyone knows her live cover of ‘Sweet Dreams’, or should know at least) and grew up. This 2009, Natasha came out of her cave and presents us the shiny “Two Suns”, her second album, insufflated with light and dazzling stories of someone who have learnt and lived a lot lately.
‘Glass’ is a new and extra restless ‘What’s A Girl To Do?’ and it’s the perfect song to start the album, shows us something new but reminds us of the past as well. Starting to listen ‘Sleep Alone’ makes us realize this album cannot fail to please us because it sounds like “Fur & Gold”! Wrong! A bit after the first minute of this song, poppy electro comes in to help the chorus and everything changes from here on. All the other songs are really different from what we were used to and that’s as exciting as a new album must be. ‘Daniel’ is pop, is rock, is electronic… ‘Peace Of Mind’ is gospel, the lyrics in ‘Siren Song’ remind us of CocoRosie’s ‘By Your Side’. ‘Pearl’s Dream’ could have been performed by Blondie on their peak, ‘Two Planets’ seems to have been produced by Björk & PJ Harvey, ‘Travelling Woman’ has her monotonous (compliment) piano and ‘The Big Sleep’ is haunted by Scott Walker’s voice and closes the album as if it was all a strange good dream. Let’s go back to sleep and listen all again from the beginning…
Second albums are usually hard to make, and most of them hard to please… not every artist can write them or continue after them… Bat For Lashes did it, if there were doubts about her ability as an artist, “Two Suns” enlightens them all!

Here is the video for the single ‘Daniel’:
