Take one of music’s most exciting personalities, Philly-based, Baltimore-bred underground hip-hop impresario Spank Rock, and add the remixing work of some of the industry’s most interesting new voices and the result can be transcendent. This is certainly the case on the upcoming E.I.B.A.E.I.A.F.L (Remixes) EP out today, April 10th on Bad Blood Records.  The EP features remixes of standout tracks from Everything is Boring and Everyone is a Fucking Liar, including “Car Song,” which features genre-mashing renegade Santigold, and “Nasty,” featuring NOLA bounce godmother Big Freedia.

A Message From Architecture in Helsinki (+ free DL)

As of last week, when we played a couple of great shows in Singapore & Indonesia, the ‘Moment Bends’ cycle has come to an end.

To everyone that came out to those shows and whistled or danced or yelled out “Why Don’t You Play More Old Stuff?” we thank you from the bottom of our collective heart. We always endeavour to put as much heart and energy into every show possible… the thing is, we really need yours, so know that your presence is always felt!

We’re super proud of everything we have made and achieved on this record. We swam with fake dolphins, walked the Red Carpet for the first time, played the Opera House & learned how to play a C chord on guitar. In fact, now when we are filling out the ‘Occupation’ section on a form we can write MUSICIAN without feeling like a fraud– suffice to say it’s been a great year!

Fast Foward to Now: This Afternoon we’ll be finished building our new studio space and straight onto making a new record!

For those of you wondering… we’re not sure what it will sound like yet, but if our listening habits are anything to go by, it will be a fusion of Korean Pop, Dolly Parton & Vangelis.

We leave you with a parting gift of this remix of “Desert Island” by our Pal / Live Sound Guy / Recording Engineer / Co-Producer, Haima.

Newest Love (+ free DL): Fixers

Fixers has announced plans for their first U.S. EP, Pop Meat/Your Corruptor, which will see a release on April 24th on Dolphin Love Records. The Oxford, UK-based psychedelic pop quintet is sharing the track “Another Lost Apache” as a free MP3 download to give everyone a taste of the EP. With an aesthetic that blooms from Beach Boys-era harmonies and surf samples, Fixers assert themselves as a band to watch, with endless hooks and a love for experimentation.

Pop Meat/Your Corruptor opener, “Another Lost Apache,” builds on an a cappella harmony and turns it into a fuzzed out adventure. The anthemic “Crystals” will have you singing along on the first listen as its slow rolling speeds up to ecstatic peaks.  The monumental sound of  “Passages/Love In Action/108″ underscores its question of where did the world go before coming back down amidst chants: “We are the sun / We are the moon / We’re coming down / We’re coming down.” “Pink Light” has a propelling rhythm that will take you from a sunny afternoon into a late hours dancing frenzy. On Pop Meat/Your Corruptor, Fixers are hinting at what’s to come.  They never sacrifice the big melodies or the experimentation and the result is a sun-drenched, fuzzed out, joyride that will make your 2012 better.

Pop Meat/Your Corruptor EP Tracklist:

  • 1. Another Lost Apache
  • 2. Crystals
  • 3. Pink Light
  • 4. Uriel
  • 5. Passages/Love In Action/108

Upcoming US Tour Dates

  • 4/17 – Brooklyn, NY – Cameo Gallery
  • 4/19 – New York, NY – Pianos

MP3: Lux – “Coroner’s Office”

Seattle duo Lux has issued another peek into the sound of its debut album We Are Not The Same, due for release on April 3rd, 2012.  The new single “Coroner’s Office” follows up the album’s first single “The Window” which was recently featured as a Magnet Magazine “MP3 At 3PM” and on the KEXP “Music That Matters” podcast.

The band wrote “Coroner’s Office” “in an addled haze of oblivion” according to the male half of the duo, David Chandler. “I was watching a lot of ‘Forensic Files’ and ‘Cold Case Files.’ There was a channel that ran this stuff 24/7. I also saw documentaries about Gacy, Gein and Dahmer. This inspired song ideas and “Coroner’s Office” seemed to encapsulate these ideas the most. The song ended up being recorded at the very last minute for inclusion on the album.”

Inspired by some of the most essential artists of the era of indie and underground music (Pavement, The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, The Magnetic Fields, The Jesus & Mary Chain, New Order, Blondie), Leah Rosen and David Chandler trade off vocals, guitars, synths and drum programming on We Are Not The Same which they also wrote, recorded and mixed themselves. The album is due for release on April 3rd.

MP3: Animal Heart – “UN-Extraordinary Man”

After releasing their first seedy, yet buxom single “Miami” (watch the video “Miami” (NSFW) HERE), take another trip down with Animal Heart’s second single “UN-Extraordinary Man”.

Listen/download: Animal Heart – “UN-Extraordinary Man”

Animal heart is a musical mistake of good intent founded by two of the most un-extraordinary men one could ever hope to find. |animal heart is an experiment | animal heart is electronic pop rock | animal heart is unwholesome fun | animal heart is two pink moons and a loaded gun | animal heart is diggin’ in the dirt for tips | animal heart is so much more than this…Witness!

“Their first release, “the buxom yet seedy ‘MIAMI,’” will leave you wanting palm trees, warm breezes, and… some company. Strap on that fanny pack tight or else the force of this electro pop might whip it right off. “– The Vinyl District

Newest Love: Zulu Winter – “We Should Be Swimming”

“…music that shimmers like a sky full of fireworks” – NME “

catchy and anthemic indie-dance” – The Guardian

“UK reverby rockers” – BrooklynVegan

Perseverance and dedication are two things that the members of Zulu Winter are very familiar with. The four guys from Oxfordshire, England came together in their teens over a shared love of music and have been collaborating ever since. Now, twelve years after their first practice as a band, Zulu Winter is gearing up to release Language, a debut album that has the immediate appeal of pop while at the same time packed with emotional insight. Inspired by everything from 19th century literature to obscure ‘60s electronica, Language will be released in North America on June 19th via Arts & Crafts.

Language is a collection of multi-dimensional songs that bleed with sentiment and syncopated dance beats. The album opens with “Key To My Heart,” a sincere message of love that showcases the depth and richness of the band’s sound with layers of swirling instrumentation. The upbeat “Silver Tongue” is driven by an energetic bass line that leads to a danceable chorus. “Bitter Moon” is an emotionally charged track hinged on a powerful chorus, inviting listeners to experience a vulnerable side of the band. “We Should Be Swimming” is a melancholic pop-song running over a compelling rhythm. Zulu Winter released a chilling video for the track, and today they have released the song as a free MP3 download.

Download: Zulu Winter – “We Should Be Swimming”

Having played sold-out shows across Europe alongside acts like Friendly Fires and The Horrors, Zulu Winter is ready to bring its energetic live show to the US.
