An amazing new video from The Horrors who collaborate with Pete Fowler for a take on ‘Changing The Rain’. As a bit of bonus material you should head over the The Quietus and read their amazing feature with both Fowler and The Horrors.

In case you’ve managed to miss them till now, Zulu Winter are one of our favorite new London acts, consistently churning out brilliantly soaring, emotive anthems, spiked with their own unique brand of icy, elegant funk. The band have recently unveiled details of their much anticipated debut album, ‘Language’, released May 14 on Play It Again Sam Recordings, which is sure to flay it’s mark in the guitar-scapes of 2012 , and which we are very much looking forward to hearing up close and personal when they play for us May 17 at the Boston Arms
‘Language’ tracklisting:
Key To My Heart
We Should Be Swimming
Bitter Moon
Small Pieces
Silver Tongue
You Deserve Better
Let’s Move Back To Front
Moment’s Drift
Words That I Wield
Never Leave
People That You Must Remember
And here is an appetizer in the form of choice cut We Should Be Swimming.
What with the recent Oscar winning of The Artist, the black-and-white silent film aesthetic seems to be on the ascendance, and who knows if it might not soon replace 3D as the latest trend to bring back audiences to the cinema. Cue the latest video from France’s best kept secret, The DØ, for their excellent new single, Gonna Be Sick!, which may not be silent (although that could make for an interesting notion for a music video), but rather employs the eras production values and Ed Wood-esque effects to pleasingly heart-rendering results.
The DØ play April 11 at The Garage.
As we reported before Field Day Radio is up and running for another few months of aural delights, in-depth chats and much more.
Some bonus features are starting to emerge including a long chat with Tim Burgess and a full Metronomy interview. Both of which are complete treats. Listen below…
Very excited to be hosting legendary, ground-breaking electronic duo Mouse On Mars, who will be playing at Village Underground on April 20th. Following on from our Spotify playlist last week of the bands finest work, here is the video for their latest, irresistibly ecstatic single, Polaroyced, in which a dude in a Luchador wrestling mask undertakes to unleash some on dubious grinds on an unsuspecting, shape-shifting suburbia.
Of Montreal, who’s live shows have been known to have taken the occasional gloriously unexpected twist (including spontaneous nudity, horseback riding and wearing outfits made of shaving cream), have unveiled the latest feat for their upcoming tour, with the incorporation of Microsofot’s Kinekt and Google’s SketchUp technologies.
As reported in Wired, “Each song Of Montreal will play on the tour, which begins Wednesday in Jacksonville, Florida, will be augmented by a unique visual element made from 300 images created by Barnes, his wife Nina Barnes and his brother David Barnes. To get the images up on the stage’s 13 screens, Kevin Barnes turned to production designer Nick Gould, who used the Xbox 360′s Kinect attachment to turn the movements on the stage — whether from the band or dancers — into data the computers operating the projected visuals can translate.”
On April 25th we are thrilled for the bands headline show at Koko and the surprises it may bring, and in the meantime check out an acoustic rendition of the bands latest single Dour Percentage, performed recently for Rolling Stones here.
