Press info: The follow-up to 2024’s acclaimed ‘I’m totally fine with it 👍 don’t give a fuck anymore 👍‘, this new record is rich with the duo’s trademark wit and dark humour, whilst creating moments from quiet brooding to a self-described “disco-metal incantation that might make you dance”. The album was recorded with long-time collaborator Paul Savage (Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand).
TUTV: Thus far we got 3 hopped-up disco-enraptured titillations.
After nearly three decades, the Scots are up to something bright-eyed
and bushy-tailed to overcrowd dancefloors with.
Artist: JOHNNY MARR Who: The former The Smiths‘ guitar hero, who played afterward
several years with Modest Mouse, also with The Pretenders, Brian
Ferry and many more.
Track: SPIN
First single from his forthcoming album, his 5th solo
full-length, baptized The Age Of Everything. Out October 2.
TUTV: Marr never copied TheSmiths‘ work.
With Spin he delivers a cathcy pick-me-up.
Moffat: “I grew up in the ’80s, and sometimes I feel like I’m living my youth again: the same myths of a once glorious nation prevail, and the threat of global war seems constant; economic inequality and class divisions just seem to get worse and worse, and the same old bigotries are being encouraged in very dangerous ways.
I try to keep positive by telling myself I’ve seen this kind of thing before
and it will pass. And, of course, venting my frustrations in a big, noisy
banger.”
TUTV: Guess what, the Scots rock out as never before. Yeah!
Band: EELS
Who: Singer-songwriter Mark Oliver Everett‘s combo.
Track: CAP IN HAND
Lead single from new album, their 16th, named Cookie Happened. It’ll land on October 16th.
Everett: “I wanted to sound kind of worn out for this one too, like someone
who’s messed up their life but now sees the error of their ways and is trying
to make amends with their tail between their legs.”
TUTV: The new Eels one is both
a darkly reflective and funky cut.
