DUTCH UNCLES - 'CADENZA'...
My dreaded dissertation is consuming every minute of my life at the moment, so posts over the next month or so will pretty much consist of just content and no opinion from yours truly. You probably don't give a shit anyway!
Here's 'Cadenza', the title track from Dutch Uncles' debut album out 25th April on Memphis Industries.

MOGWAI - 'SAN PEDRO' VIDEO...
Directed by Anthony Crook. This video instantly made me think of Rene Magritte's painting 'The Son of Man'. Intentional???...

NEW ARCTIC MONKEYS ALBUM...
Arctic Monkeys announce that their fourth album will be released Monday 6th June 2011 and is called 'Suck It & See'. Charming.
If 'Brick by Brick' is anything to go by, then I think this album will throw another spanner in the works amongst "traditional" Monkeys fans much like 'Humbug' did. I still contest with those people that 'Humbug' is a brilliant album, & a very forward thinking record by the band. Stupidly excited about this album.
Tracklisting:
01. She's Thunderstorms
02. Black Treacle
03. Brick By Brick
04. The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala
05. Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair
06. Library Pictures
07. All My Own Stunts
08. Reckless Serenade
09. Piledriver Waltz
10. Love Is A Laserquest
11. Suck It And See
12. That's Where You're Wrong

NEW WILD BEASTS - 'ALBATROSS'
'Albatross' is taken from the new Wild Beasts album 'Smother' which sees a UK release on 9th May on Domino.
This song is superb in my opinion. The instrumentation isn't very dynamic, but the reverbed piano, guitar, simplistic drums and occasional James Blake-esque synth bass work in perfect harmony to create a beautifully ambient song. All this topped off by Hayden's forever unique falsetto. An excellent teaser to the forthcoming album.

LYKKE LI - 'WOUNDED RHYMES'...
It has a perfect balance of slow tempo ballads like 'I Know Places' & the folky 'Unrequited Love' which sounds like it could be straight from a First Aid Kit record, & up-tempo catchy pop songs such as 'Youth Knows No Pain' & 'Get Some', which features the lyric, "I'm your prostitute, you gonna get some". Yum. 'Wounded Rhymes' also triumphs on the production front, successfully veering between & also combining different retro, lo-fi styles as well as clean, polished folk ballads.
Overall, I think this album could propel this Swedish lovely into the pop mainstream, & rightly so, this is a refreshing pop album which would trample over 90% of the tripe that currently occupies the pop charts.

DOG IS DEAD. ONES TO WATCH...
I'm slightly ashamed of myself that I've never heard of this band until I opened the pages of this week's NME. Dog is Dead are right up my street. There's a sound slightly reminiscent of early Mystery Jets. The harmonies are TIGHT!
RADIOHEAD - 'LOTUS FLOWER' VIDEO...
With the new album 'King of Limbs' being released digitally tomorrow, Radiohead have put out this video for 'Lotus Flower'. Nice dancing Thom.
