These badass ladies collaborated already and looking back it was long ass time ago since Into The Hollywood Groove! 9 years ago in fact! So how awesome to have a new mash with Madonna and Missy Elliott to grind to! Pass That Dutcholiday mixes two our fave tracks with 'em so we are so gonna play this and probably do the dutch choreography whilst at it! Join us! Who-di-whooo!
Everything is comin' up Antony Hegarty - and we love it! We've been playing Antony and the Johnsons new album Cut The World like you wouldn't believe. And now we get this massive treat the same week! Two night's ago Hercules and Love Affair, whom we adore, took the stage at The London Wonderground, and Antony joined 'em to sing the incredible Blind, something that has never happened before. That's right, they had never done it live before! Check out the rousing live version below! LOVE the background info we got too! They really thought this bangin' track sucked after they'd recorded it in a cheap studio, and shelved it for 2 years! Gah! This made us love it even more!
Based on what we've heard so far we are in love with The xx upcoming album Coexist. Brand new single Chained is no exception. Nice to hear a slight uptempo with Romy and Oliver's voices mixes so nicely. The album is out September 10th - can we plz hope for an early stream on Soundcloud? Thanks!
We've had progressive electronic duo Matmos on our radar since their 1998 remix of Björk's Alarm Call single plus their stunning work on her Vespertine album + tours. After a break since 2008's Maximum Balloon they are back with The Ganzfield EP, out on October 16th + the full album The Marriage of True Minds set for early 2013. Very Large Green Triangles is the first taste and in true Matmos style it's filled with vocal samples, urgent sounds and layering of the finest form. We like it! Plus they make such a handsome couple! We love it when lovers work together too to create beautiful art. Download + enjoy belooow!
We're so excited! The amazing Antony and the Johnsons drop their collection of live symphonic performances of songs from the band's 4 full length albums tomorrow. Cut The World is recorded in Copenhagen with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra. Also, this marks the first time the title track, a live favourite, has been made available in a professional recording. Happy days! It's one of Antony's new songs for The Life and Death of Marina Abramovi - a performance biography of the godmother of performance art, re-imagined by visionary director Robert Wilson and starring Antony along with Marina herself and Willem Dafoe. Only Antony Hegarty could make dark lyrics like these so enjoyable to listen to. From what we've heard so far of the album it's incredible and tracks like the legendary I Fell In Love With A Dead Boy and iconic You Are My Sister are given whole new atmospheres to breathe and grow in. So amazing. Listen to Cut The World and the spoken word Future Feminism below! Further listening here! Enjoy!
Update: Here's the just released video! In the description it says; This video may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. And they sure are right! Starring Willem Dafoe it paints a scene when the matriarchal uproar starts in an every day sitiuation. WOW.
