Before they head out on another short tour, New Jersey fuzz punks Screaming Females will be releasing a split 7" alongside Wisconsin band Tenement with the single "Ancient Civilization."
The epic effort reels past five minutes, coursing through electric psychedelia and methodically muddled garage punk. Stream it below and click here for upcoming Screaming Females tour dates.
The newest single from Screaming Females upcoming Ugly LP is the second off the album, which has already released a slightly gruesome video for "It All Means Nothing." You can grab the new album April 3, and listen to "Expire" below.
New Jersey band Screaming Females premiered their fairly NSFW video for "It All Means Nothing," where the only answer for murder is more murder. So if you aren't into that sort of thing, then just forget about it.
The single is from the band's upcoming Ugly LP, which doesn't have a lot of details out right now. Watch the video below.
Yesterday's post wasn't so much an April Fools prank but rather an out-cry of apathy from my part. Today, however, I've put a little effort in on getting you guys something more your time.
In a story from Stereogum, Belle & Sebastian front-man and songwriter Stuart Murdoch made an open call for female singers to work on a project entitled God Help the Girl, accompanied by an LP of the same name. The record reportedly contains nine singers, Belle & Sebastian, and a 45 piece orchestra set composed by Rick Wentworth.
The first single "Come Monday Night," sung by contest winner Catherine Ireton, is available for listen here. The album is due out in the states on June 23 via Matador Records.
Murdoch discusses God Help the Girl.
The Needle Drop, a name I haven't mentioned in some time, has a a couple nice downloads from Swan Lake's recent album Enemy Mine. Band members Daniel Bejar, Spencer Krug, and Carey Mercer are all well-recognized for their work with band's like Destroyer, Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, The New Pornographers, and Frog Eyes, so I guess you can qualify this as Canada's biggest indie supergroup, after Broken Social Scene. Regardless.
You Ain't No Picasso has turned me on to Screaming Females, another low-fi indie act with a great name, putting that list up to around 759 since I've started this. The band's new single "Bell" is accompanied by a super-crappy video that looks like I made it when I was eight. It shouldn't take too much away from the song's impact though. You can pre-order the band's upcoming album Power Movehere.
And finally here's PJ Harvey and John Parish's new video for their single "Black Hearted Love," from the duo's second album A Woman A Man Walked By courtesy of Music is Art.
