Filed Under: MP3Discussion: C[0]mments
Warp have been on an A&R frenzy lately, and Julie Campbell aka LoneLady is the latest addition to their stellar roster. Being from Manchester, she cites (unsurprisingly) a lot of the usual Mancunian post-punk influences – Joy Division, The Fall, etc, etc – but her voice is a whole lot prettier than Mark E. Smith’s. ‘Intuition’ is the first single proper from the forthcoming album due in Feb, and has graced the RoG decks a number of times in recent months. You’ll probably hear it tonight (Queen of Hoxton, 1 Curtain Road). Wrap your ears around this, and if you like it, grab the free track from LoneLady’s website:

Filed Under: MP3, videoDiscussion: C[0]mments
Dead Kids practically destroyed the place when they headlined Round Our Gaff last year. Casualties included tables and a few bar stools, several pints, our mate Paul’s spectacles and nearly frontman Mike Title himself (Camden people are mighty possessive of their beer). So naturally we are thrilled to hear that their debut album’s arrival is imminent, and that there are two tasty titbits in the form of “German Heart” and a remix of said track by a kick-ass sounding group by the name of Invasion.
Ultra-cute YouTube video for the original is yonder, with the remix MP3 just below:

Another one of my favourites that I’d thought had gone forever… blissed out Brummies Broadcast have announced a new mini-album, a collaborative effort with The Focus Group, aka Julian House, graphic designer and fellow library-music archaeologist.
The first snippets have been posted up on the Warp website, and the results sound promising indeed.
