CSS reMixed by Depressed Buttons

css

I am digging the hell out of this reMix.  CSS and Bobby Gillespie’s ‘Hit Me Like A Rock’ was an interesting comeback for the Brazilian quintet but this reMix from this Omaha trio Depressed Buttons blow the original out of the water.

The Mad Decent signed Depressed Buttons mash-up dancehall beats and crazy synth riffs. it’s noise, exciting and powerful, but that’s only to be expected from three guys who used to be in The Faint (a massive favourite ‘round these parts). Lovefoxxx’s vocals always sound amazing and intense over heavy synthesized music and this track is a prime example.

♫ CSS (Cansei De Ser Sexy) (Feat. Bobbie Gilespie) – Hits Me Like A Rock (Depressed Buttons Mix)

‘La Liberación‘, CSS’ new album, is out on on 22nd August.

Ladytron’s new single

ladytron

‘Mirage’ is Ladytron new single and the second lead in track to their forthcoming new album, ‘Gravity The Seducer’.

Following ‘White Elephant’, ‘Mirage’ is slightly more upbeat and traditionally ‘Ladytron’, which is no bad thing. ‘Mirage’ is the Ladytron we all fell in love with. Solid Indie-ElectroPop with a rawness and intensity only Ladytron can capture. The new album is purported to be more ethereal and melodic than previous Ladytron work. Well, if it’s littered with tracks like ‘Mirage’ than I’ll be a happy man.

♫ Ladytron – Mirage

Ladytron’s new album, ‘Gravity The Seducer’ is released 12th September. You can pre-order signed copies of the LP or CD.

The Black Ghosts’ ‘Diamonds’

theblackghosts

Indie-ElectroPopsters The Black Ghosts are back with a new album.

Released this week on Southern Fried Records the duo are celebrating the release of the record, ‘When Animals Stare’ by giving away the song ‘Diamonds’. It’s a dark, mysterious affair with a haunting melody reminiscent of carnival nightmares. True to The Black Ghosts style it is dense and gritty and hints at an album defiantly worth checking out.

With one foot in Chillwave and the other in the 80’s, ‘Polish Girl’’s laid back nostalgia takes you away to better times.
