Skeletal Lamping

A brand new of Montreal song gives a taste of what their eclectic new album Skeletal Lamping will sound like. This tune seems to keeps you guessing even more than songs from their previous album.

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror make music that I can only think to call "theatrical wizard prog rock". Their smokey mysticism can be smelled from untold fathoms. Their sound has already been compared to Pink Floyd and MGMT.

Mirror Mirror has recently released a New Horizons 7" which also includes the song Lock Up Your Sons. Their full length debut album The Society for the Advancement of Inflammatory Consciousness is dropping September 16.

You can read about their concept behind the debut album, why it's not going to be their "breakthough", and also "sex magicians", in this interview.

Friendly Fires

Friendly Fires are about to drop their self titled debut album. What I've heard from them so far is a Cut Copy with Peruvian beats. As with Late Of The Pier, They'll be playing an album release party at PureGroove. About it being self titled they said, "I figure when it's your first album, it's allowed. It's the only time that you're allowed to do it. You're only allowed to be lazy once - we're allowed to be lazy this time." Get the garage produced album September 1st.

LOTP

I've been listening to them for quite awhile now, but Late Of The Pier has been making some extra exciting noise recently. They're debut album Fantasy Black Channel will be releasing on August 11, and they just came out with a video for their song Heartbeat:



...And no mention of Late Of The Pier should be without their epic, Space and the Woods:



If you happen to live in London, and you pre-order Fantasy Black Channel from Pure Groove, you could get tickets to an in-store performance by LOTP to celebrate the release.
