Clips that will have an impact on your eyes and your ears…
3 December 2020
Synth-pop driven single BE A REBEL was NEW ORDER‘s first
new music (sounding old) since 2016 album Music Complete.
A quite eye-catching video clip made by Spanish director NYSU
rotates now on YouTube.
The band about the director: “We’d previously worked with NYSU from
Madrid when they created a memorable video for us to go with ‘Restless’
and their imagination and creativity with film really struck a chord with
the band.”
It seems like the good old NEW ORDER are taking care of their pension. Last month they unleashed their first new track in five years with vintage NO synth stomper BE A REBEL and announced their collaboration with sportswear giant Adidas for a clothing range.
Recently they remixed the single to feature in a promo for
the band’s team-up with Adidas. Be a rebel? I don’t think so.
Take the money and run? Absolutely.
Five new firecrackers to bang-up your favorite 48 hours…
‘Wonderful Hell’ by WAR ON WOMEN
Two years after their smashing LP Capture The Flag the Baltimore hardcore fanatics announced a new longplayer, out next month. Lead-single ‘Wonderful Hell’ is a metallic bang-up cry out for a better world. Stop the fascist creeeeep, let’s raise some hell is the muscled message. Time to act before the monster gets YOU!
‘Psychopath’s Monologue’ by THE CHRONICLES OF MANIMAL AND SAMARA
This is what happens when Mr Hyde turns up at midnight at your bed and scares
the shit out of you with some creepy stories while he dances around your bedroom
like a deranged maniac to this industrialized techno outburst.
. ‘Mirror’ by HEY COLOSSUSfeat. MARK LANEGAN (UK/US)
This collaborative song is a pitch-black slow moving serpent. Creepy, ominous
and enigmatic. A fitting piece for the twilight hours and for Lanegan‘s devilish voice.
New album Dances/Curses out 20 November. All info here.
‘Hell’s Teeth’ by PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS (Newcastle, UK)
Newcastle’s pig punch punks dropped an animated video clip for their newest
smack from their third album Viscerals. Expect a paranoid Black Sabbath drone.
‘Berlin’ by A CERTAIN RATIO (Manchester, UK)
Another electronic stomper from Manchester’s funky post-punk heroes’ upcoming
LP ACR LOCO, their first in twelve years. It features the wonderful voice of Denise
Johnson who sadly passed away last July.
In normal times synth pop icons NEW ORDER would have been on tour
with Pet Shop Boys right now. But due to that awful coronavirus all shows
are postponed for a full year.
To keep us all dancing – in safe conditions – in the meantime the Manchester
band just dropped a brand new single called BE A REBEL. Their first new stuff
since 2018 album Music Complete.
“In tough times we wanted to reach out with a new song. We can’t play live for
a while, but music is still something we can all share together. We hope you enjoy
it … until we meet again.” said maestro Bernard Sumner in a statement.
Close your eyes and pretend you’re at a beach somewhere in Ibiza…
