Kicky Canadian collective ARCADE FIRE have their 7th album, named
Pink Elephant ready for release on May 9th. Pre-order info here.

2025 is the YEAR OF THE SNAKE in the Chinese
Zodiac and also the title of the lead single.

It’s a sublime tune, with its hypnotic guitar riff, the non-stop
banging drum beat and the intertwined vocals of Win Butler
and his spouse Régine Chassagne. Vintage Arcade Fire.

Sterling stroke.

“It’s the season of change, and if
you feel strange, it’s probably good,
It’s the year of the snake,
so let your heart break.”

DEATH IN VEGAS – Psychedelic Techno Producer Drops The Trippy Title Track Of His New Forthcoming LP

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

3 April 2025

Act: DEATH IN VEGAS
Who: The musical project of English producer Richard Fearless who launched his psychedelic electro run back in 1994. Since then, six albums were released, with
a star cast – Iggy Pop, Liam Gallagher and Bobby Gillespie to name a few – to deliver
vocals.

New album: DEATH MASK
The 7th one, ready to be unleashed
on June 6th. Pre-order info here.


Album artwork

Fearles: “Some of the gear I use has a tendency to take on a life of its own — for example,
the Effectron delay, which Arthur Russell also used. It was feeding back on itself, and ended up sounding like a radio conversation — literally voices from within the machine. On the Echoplex, the tape has never been changed. It’s eroded by the hands of time. When you record over the tape, things bleed in from what was there before, like people from the past.”

Following first single While My Machines Gently Weep
Fearless comes up with another vibey thrill.

It’s the title track DEATH MASK. A trippy, ambient, full instrumental jam,
fueled by non-stop circling drum beats, quickly bouncing in your head.

Fly high.

It’s produced by Blink-182 drummer Travis Baker.

Williams: “I had this song I had been sitting on, always revisited it and tried to record it a bunch of times but it was never just right. Eventually it was giving me PTSD. I was talking to Travis about doing some songs together and when I opened up the vault to him, this one jumped out so we laid it down and finally we got it right.”

PUP – Combustive Candian Punks ‘GET DUMBER’

Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

31 March 2025

Band: PUP
Who: Fulminant punks from Toronto
who are gearing up for their 5th LP.

Track: GET DUMBER

New cutting cut from their forthcoming album, called Who Will Look After The Dogs? that comes our way on 2nd May. It features Long Island songsmith Jeff Rosenstock.

Stefan Babcock (frontman): “We recorded the vocals together, in the same room, facing each other. What that means is, we both had to nail it at the same time because we couldn’t really cut between takes. On the first take, he forgot a line in the second verse and said, ‘Ahhhhhh, lyrics’ instead. I couldn’t finish the take because I was laughing too hard. Anyway, he practiced singing the correct lyrics but then we decided those lyrics kinda sucked and he should just stick to ‘Ahhhhhh, lyrics’ because it’s funny and the song is called Get Dumber. We nailed it on the second take.”

Wake up people, carefully,
these punk pups bite.
