Band of Horses - Infinite Arms

dmca takedown requested

Band Of Horses have left Sub Pop and arrived at Ben Bridwell’s Brown for their new album Infinite Arms. Visually, though, they haven’t strayed too far from Cease To Begin’s nightscape. There’s less water and more mountainous swirls, but like the previous cover image, the sky was captured by photographer Christopher Wilson. The band produced Infinite with help from Phil Ek. It was recorded over 16 months in various locations featuring a beefed-up lineup that includes the core of Ben Bridwell, Creighton Barrett, and Ryan Monroe with longtime touring members Tyler Ramsey and Bill Reynolds providing additional hands. As a nod to the new lineup, Bridwell is quoted as saying “in many ways, this is the first Band of Horses record.” But we know it’s actually their third. due out may 18th.

Black Keys-Brother

spin

this is the upcoming album from the black keys it comes out may 18th. its pretty good.

Danger Mouse, who produced the band’s last album ‘Attack And Release’, has produced one song (‘Tighten Up’) recorded at Brooklyn’s Bunker Studios.

As previously reported the bulk of the album was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio with Mark Neill.

The album features a cover of Jerry Butler’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.

Billboard reports the album is highlighted by ‘Next Girl’, a Zeppelin-y blast of fuzzed-out guitar, and ‘Howlin’ for You’, which features a “da da da” chant and a drum beat akin to Gary Glitter’s glam-rock classic ‘Rock and Roll (Part Two)’.

Gold Panda

Gold Panda is a left-field producer and remixer called Derwin who makes instrumental soundtracks to half-remembered, dreamy summer days. He scours charity shops for old records and VHS tapes to turn into distorted samples, and wraps them in minimal,warm beats.

He is obsessed with Japan and its culture, and once sold his entire record collection to pay for a Japanese diploma at the School of Oriental and African Studies, before moving there for a year.
