Peaches returns

Peaches

May 4th will see the release of Peaches’ new album, ‘I Feel Cream’, her first in three years. It sees working with a roster of producers that reads like a who’s-who of Electro. Names include Soulwax, Simian Mobile Disco, Gonzales, Digitalism and Drums Of Death.

The first single from the album will be the double A-side ‘Talk To Me’/’More’, produced by Soulwax and Simian Mobile Disco respectively.

The tracks sound just as you’d expect, the Soulwax one sounding like Soulwax featuring Peaches and the SMD one sounding like SMD featuring Peaches!

‘Talk To Me’ is an Electro-Rock riot whilst ‘More’ is a thumping club affair.

Good Luck At The Gunfight

GoodLuckAtTheGunfight

First off, let me make it absolutely clear, Good Luck At The Gunfight is a genius name for a band.

Secondly, you gotta’ hear this stuff. These three guys from San Francisco are attacking the whole ‘French House’ thing with the sensibilities of a Rock band, Like Justice and Kavinsky jamming in a garage.

GL@TG’s sound is awash with 80’s synth lead riffs up against alternating Rock and Dance drums A sound where sawtooth waves trade places with lush pads. One minute harsh, the next sweet.

Sure it’s demo stuff, sure the production could use a couple of tweaks (not too much though!) but GL@TG have only just started out. If they continue to rock synths as hard as they are doing now the the future could well be theirs.

Good Luck At The Gunfight could easily hold their own against the ‘big-boys’ of Electro-House.

And their MySpace is terrifyingly pink on pink!

Currently unsigned (currently…) you can download Good Luck At The Gunfight tunes from their MySpace page.

La Roux Killer reMix

LaRoux4

I picked this up over at Nerdy-Frames. It’s a reMix of La Roux’s ‘In For The Kill’ by Australian Dan Aux and, blimey, it’s good!

There’s something really heartfelt about this reMix, it seems to be a perfect compliment to Ely’s vocals. It’s all about the wobbly bass and sweet pads.
