12/2/09 News briefs: Dum Dum Girls, Cocteau Twins, Of Montreal + Beyonce, Fugazi and Arcade Fire
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
Sub Pop has announced details about the debut album from Dum Dum Girls. Titled I Will Be, the LP was produced by Dee Dee herself along with Dee Dee and the legendary Richard Gottehrer (Strangeloves, Voidoids, Blondie, The Go-Gos and, more recently, The Raveonettes) and will be released on March 30, 2010. Oh boy!
Elizabeth Fraser has told the Guardian that despite offers of £1.5 million each, Cocteau Twins will never reunite. The “voice of God,” however, can still be heard on a new single called “Moses.”
Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes told Paste that he “would be fully psyched” to collaborate with Beyonce. This comes after the former Destiny’s Child singer said she’d “love to do something like that” on her next album.
Chunklet has a wicked 40-minute montage of Fugazi on-stage banter to download for free. No band both takes the piss and keeps a crowd in line as good as Fugazi did.
Arcade Fire are indeed hard at work on a new album with Markus Dravs, who engineered their last one, Neon Bible. A member of Mumford and Sons let it slip to BBC 6Music that Dravs has been working on it for six months. Surely they’re close to finishing… surely!

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Yeah Yeah Yeahs will celebrate their tenth anniversary by playing Fever To Tell in its entirety. The band will perform their debut album at All Tomorrow’s Parties’ Ten Years of ATP festival in England, which takes place December 11th to 13th.
Sufjan Stevens is now saying that his quest to record albums about each of the 50 states was just a joke. He tells Paste, “I think maybe I took it too seriously. I started to feel like I was becoming a cliché of myself.”
The soon-to-be reunited Pavement have announced they’ll compile a collection of radio sessions. Spiral Stairs tells NME.com that it will be previously unheard material made up of their best known songs and outtakes.
Toronto’s Born Ruffians have told Exclaim! that they’ll be releasing their second album some time in 2010. Frontman says the new one is the result of a more collaborative effort and a do-what-feels-right direction.”
Mogwai have a new film and live album on the way. The film is titled Burning and will make its premiere at the Copenhagen Documentary festival on November 13th. The album, Special Moves, will be released along with the DVD of the film, though no date has been set.
