NME says: “A career high. While other artists, they came up with, have
called it quits, the British indie band have kept moving forward. Their fifth
album rewards that resilience with some of their most beautiful work yet.”
TUTV: Bittersweet pop melancholia sugar-coats this new opus. It has a similar intimate
and treasuring life-and-love idealisation of Coldplay‘s 1998 debut Parachutes. Three-hanky sweet (a bit too much at times), but genuine and honest-to-goodness. Heart-and-soul stirring stories, familiar to some of us. Swim Deep
TUTV: Jumpy. Bouncy. Zippy. Cacophonic overtones, frolic organ blitz, sinewy vocals and psychobilly guitars drenched in an Eastern frenzy, blast out of your stereo. If this is what the Apocalypse will sound like, I wanna be there. Trust me, so will you.
TUTV: Kasabian turned from dance-infused rockers into disco-popsters under the leadership of singer-songwriter Sergio Pizzorno. Lots of drum/bass action on this
new one. Shaky stuff.
Artist: LEO VINCENT Who: Brussels-based, failed goalkeeper-turned-painter-turned-cameraman-turned-musician. Some say it’s disco for night janitors. Some say it’s glam-rock for ravers.
Others haven’t found the time to listen yet because they have real jobs.
TUTV: Oh yeah, the vibes! Oh yeah, the beats! Oh yeah, the swagger! Shake your pelvis, bend your knees and jump up and down, left and right, forth and back. This is a workout tune for all you lazy bumps out there. Move! Now!
Band: MONT LOSER Who: A deformed creature born from the depths of a late-night Parisian haze, half kamikaze, half blood-drunk bat. ML invite you to dive headfirst into the void of a rock scene that always seems to rise from its ashes, when we sometimes wish it would stay dead.
Track: CONFESSIONAL
The title track from their upcoming
album, out on April 17th. Â
“It’s only reality tv confessionals — people alone in a booth, crying to
the camera, saying things they probably never meant to say out loud.”
TUTV: Psychotic guitars, chaotic screams, mindbending verve and headtwisting changes of speed combine for a roasting 5-minute rollercoaster. Be ready for a dizzying experience.
