Dream Over

This weekend I will mostly be listening to Pure Ecstasy. They are from Austin Texas and will hopefully have an album out in 2010. Its great to see a band wear early 90s influences on it's sleeve and they provide a welcome change to the self proclaimed 'Surf' acts coming out of the US just now. A full mp3 of the track 'Dream Over' can be downloaded below.

Arcade Fire - Month Of May




Two new Arcade Fire tracks have just started doing the rounds; with 'Month of May' being the pick of the pair. Revealing a heavier sound the band have taken a step in a new direction that's welcome in these parts. Download the mp3 below. Courtesy of We All Want Someone

Klaxons - Flashover

Klaxons have been away for so long I actually forgot about them, especially when considering the bands they held a door open for; Foals, Friendly Fires and so on now have a deeper catalogue of songs than them. 'Flashover' is the first material being made available from the forthcoming record that included sessions with Ross Robinson. Check it out below.

Celestica

Crystal Castles release their second self titled record today and its a welcome step up on their debut effort that sold comfortably despite being as consistent as Lee Trundle in an average Championship side. Like a civil servant hoping for a pay rise; blogging about this band today is completely pointless because no one is going to read/listen to this drivel. Anyway i've posted the unofficial video below to save me the hassle of visiting youtube along with a link to the track on soundcloud.

Scribbler


The return of Underworld has been under reported; especially amongst the mainstream music press. This is unfortunate for the wider public as their first effort in years, 'Scribbler' is typical of an act that have mastered the art of the techno/house anthem. The track can be streamed below and also visit their website to download a free mp3.

Butterfly House




The best British band of a generation; The Coral, return this summer with a new album their sixth in total if you include the mini album Night Freak.... Not a bad return considering they have only been around as The Coral for little over a decade. The album title track, 'Butterfly House' is being circulated as a taster for things to come. Listen to it via the stream below.
