November 10th, 2009
Hot Chip have revealed that their fourth LP will be titled One Life Stand and will see a release on February 9th. The band are streaming the first track “Take It In” over at Pitchfork.
My Morning Jacket will be making a guest appearance on Fox’s animated series American Dad. In the episode lead character Stan Smith will become an obsessed groupie of the band. You can see some revealing images over at Stewie’s Playground.
New York Magazine presents “a highly subjective ranking of the songs that define the sound of right now” in Brooklyn. What song defines the city best? Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness Is the Move.” Better luck next time Grizzly Bear.
4AD is now hosting “an ongoing series of video recordings with various acts from the label’s roster.” The first 4AD Session is by New England’s tUnE-yArDs.
Pet Shop Boys are prepping a new Christmas EP aptly titled Christmas. The five-song set will include their 1997 fan-club single “It Doesn’t Often Snow At Christmas” as well as a cover of Madness’ “My Girl” and a mash-up of PSB’s “Domino Dancing” with a cover of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.”
