It’s only 8 days now until The Horrors play their first live show of 2011 in the UK.  Unsurprisingly, this is completely sold out.

But, with new album ‘Skying’ just around the corner, they will be back for us in October with 2 very special shows.  For their first performance on October 12th, they will be bringing us a live performance to showcase their new material, whilst not forgetting the tracks that made us fall in love with them.

Just 3 days later, on the 15th, they shall be in Manchester where they will be curating their own show as part of a collaboration between The Warehouse Project and Eat Your Own Ears.  For this, all the artists chosen will have been specially chosen by The Horrors in order to bring you a truly memorable show.

Tickets for both of these events go on sale tomorrow, Friday 10th June, at 9am.

Finally stream one of our favourite records of the year!

This is happening with @Fielddaylondon at 5pm! To keep track of the chat make sure you follow both them and @wildbeasts! We’re excited to read the exchange ahead of Wild Beasts’ performance at this year’s Field Day Fest.

It’s DELS time again. We’re still playing the album – which we’re tipping as an outsider for the Mercury maybe. Take a new spin with Trumpalump acoustic above.

Check out this stunning animated video for the new KC + JH song. It’s been a while since a truly brilliant animated video but this one does the trick very nicely following a swimming/running dog that occassionally morphs into a school of fish in an upside down, reflected world. Captures the understated and sometimes strange beauty of the album and song perfectly.

Following in the footsteps of bands like Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and Phoenix, Austra has been covered by the Internet’s favourite children’s choir, the PS22 Chorus. Watch their rendition of Austra’s “Energy” from Beat And The Pulse” here.
