NEW ALBUM "BATTLE FOR THE SUN" Release Date: June 8, 2009 The album, entitled 'Battle For The Sun', is the group's first new studio effort since 2006's 'Meds'. The album's title track will be given a world exclusive play on BBC Radio One DJ Zane Lowe's show from 7pm today (March 17th). 'Battle For The Sun' was recorded over three months with producer Dave Bottrill in Toronto, Canada and mixed in London by Alan Moulder. Singer Brian Molko said the band had made an album “about choosing life, about choosing to live, about stepping out of the darkness and into the light”. He added: “Not necessarily turning your back on the darkness because it’s there, it’s essential; it’s a part of who you are, but more about the choice of standing in the sunlight instead.”

Airborne Toxic Event Signs to Island Def Jam, The Airborne Toxic Event, the quintet that burst out of L.A. clubs behind the radio single “Sometime Around Midnight,” is moving up to the big time. After releasing their debut album on independent imprint Majordomo (a division of Shout Factory) last summer, TATE is now signing a major-label deal with Island Def Jam. The band’s self-titled debut has moved 53,000 copies — and the single has sold 109,000 digitally. “It’s a great deal, we’re pumped up,” frontman Mikel Jollett says from Canada, where the band is in the middle of a six-week tour. “They came to us and said ‘We want to give you 100% creative control.’ Majordomo has a really good stake in this thing — they were very much a partner. It’s a good situation for everyone involved.” Jollett says Island’s openness contrasted starkly with the band’s conversations with majors last year, before it decided to affiliate with Majordomo. “Last year when we talked to majors, they wanted to make a lot of changes, have us re-record the record, a lot of things,” he says. “Now it’s, ‘We like your record just the way it is.’ “And it’s incredible what Majordomo has done for us too; you’ve gotta take your hats off to them.” [ame] [/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX15_KyL_q4]YouTube - The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight (LIVE)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbeXW3yG5vg]YouTube - Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight @ Endfest[/ame]

“I’ll tell you a secret / let’s make it perfectly clear / there’s no secrets this year” – ‘There’s No Secrets This Year,’ Swoon It’s no secret that Silversun Pickups score the soundtrack for the cacophony and quiet of the urban environment. Their songs curl like a sleeping dragon around the foothills, soar between the skyscrapers, and slouch in the shadows of forbidden offramps and skid row. The Silversun Pickups sound is a city itself and on the new album, Swoon, we tag along on a schizophrenic taxi ride to the dark side. After all, the City of Silversun is a landscape populated with contradictions: the clamor of traffic and the solace of the garden; fashionistas lined up at taco trucks after hours; moonlight bike rides and holdups at knifepoint. But Silversun Pickups would be nothing without the community that fostered them. Or so says guitar conjurer and siren songster, Brian Aubert. Brought together as a group of neighborhood friends, SSPU evolved into a homegrown behemoth as their muddy guitar fuzz, and ear-bursters blew across the world on the titanic 2006 stargazing, rocking debut LP, Carnavas. But for Aubert, the life of the rocker was never out of reach. “I’ve always lived around bands, so it took away all the myth and romanticism of being in a band. You knew you could do it.” This band came of age in Los Angeles’ multicultural, bohemian enclave, Silver Lake, where the members learned to overcome their fears through playing in the organic network of clubs and bars that birthed Beck and Elliott Smith. “When we were starting out, we were too shy to turn up the volume. Now we’re not afraid to get loud,” Aubert says. “I used to be nervous to go to the mic, now I swallow it.” As Carnavas snowballed into an avalanche of critical praise, landed them on the Billboard charts and gained recognition from nose-turning indie rockers and mainstream pop lovers alike, frontman Aubert slowly realized that Silversun Pickups’ musical landscape was changing too. “We were landing on charts in countries I’d never been too, like Chile and all over South America. Things were changing fast.” “Change is coming soon” – ‘The Royal We,’ Swoon After two-plus years of touring, the band returned home to a different place than they had left. “It was a dark time when we got back. We had to water the relationships that we had neglected over those two years, and I think this darkness came out on our new record,” Aubert says. The sediment of experience accumulated for the band, and they were eager to spit it out. They went back into the studio to produce what would become their much-anticipated second album, Swoon. The success of Carnavas offered a blessing and a challenge. There’s the breathing room that comes with a successful record and the pressure to produce a follow-up. SSPU returned to the studio with familiar friends, producer Dave Cooley (J Dilla, Darker My Love), and mixer Tony Hoffer (Depeche Mode, The Kooks), who helped create Carnavas. For Swoon, the aperture of the band opened up and allowed for possibilities the band never imagined. “We wanted to add strings to creep the album out a bit, so we just wanted to have a quartet that were friends of the neighborhood. That quartet then turned into a 16-piece orchestra, which blew our mind,” Aubert expresses. Swoon is a thick, layered listen, burgeoning with rich strings and crunchy guitars. The warm noise frothing from what sounds like a thousand guitars nearly crushes the opening track, “There’s No Secrets This Year.” Aubert’s delicate, wafting voice ties the driving drums and blistering bass together in a tightly wound web that keeps the track from imploding. At the peak of noise the track does what the album proclaims: it swoons, falling backward into a free flowing Eno-esque soundscape. The album celebrates the intimacy and anonymity of getting lost in a sea of people or the swarm of the cityscape, Aubert says. Like a community garden in Silversun City, Swoon creates spaces of introspection in the middle of chaos. For every grand concert hall built from a gentle string swell, like on “Catch and Release,” Swoon burns it down in a conflagration of noise, scorching with searing bass and growling guitar, as on “Panic Switch.” “We have a psychotic relationship with our songs – we can’t have it too clean. We have to fuck it up somehow,” Aubert declares. “Sit back and breathe” – ‘It’s Nice to Know You Work Alone,’ Swoon In every city and in every town, there is a place where artists and musicians cook up projects over front porch beers and where late night garage jams turn into bands. These bands’ origins aren’t too different than Silversun Pickups’. But Aubert recognizes that there’s something different about the community that fostered them. “The feet of the band are on the soil where they live,” Aubert says. Silversun Pickups pull their sound from the soil of their backyard, which reconciles frenzy with solitude; sprawl and the structure; and innovation with collaboration. “It can be lonely here, because the city is so disconnected,” Aubert explains, “but here you can also escape the noise of the city into your own house, your own private place. But we’re all connected by community.” And it is the community that holds Silversun Pickups in the palm of her hand.

In other Radiohead news, Thom Yorke posted a new "office chart" of what he's been listening to on the band's Dead Air Space blog last night, including tracks from PJ Harvey ("hi polly!), the Bug, Matthew Dear, and Nina Simone. But more importantly, he added a postscript, referring to Radiohead's imminent South American tour: "wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you're not one of those people i have managed to offend by doing nothing xx" So many Radiohaters these days.....

http://www.dmstith.com/ http://www.myspace.com/dmstith David Stith has always been pushing his creative limits. Having been raised in a musical family in Buffalo, New York, he grew up with sounds all around him, often slouched in the kitchen interpreting his family’s melodies into line drawings and poetry. Though a gifted musician from an early age, he remained silent for a long time, instead choosing to express himself through poetry and the visual arts—excelling in many modes of artistic expression. He’s wandered from Buffalo to Rochester to Brooklyn, where he became friends with Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond. In small technical ways (by providing a computer with ProTools, a space to record demos, and gallons of coffee to accompany wandering conversations about her songs), David began helping her record her album Bring Me The Workhorse. Shara was astounded to learn that he also possessed an innate talent for working in the studio. By spending more and more time recording, David began to rekindle his passion for his first familial love: music. Something within him caught alight, and he began spending countless days stored away in his bedroom, sketching folk songs with epic electronic gestures, grappling with his inner demons, trying to capture his observations of the world with his music. His sustained period of silence, of gestation, of contemplation, was finally over. He continued cultivating his musical compositions privately—until one day Shara introduced David to his doppelganger, Sufjan Stevens, co-operator of Asthmatic Kitty Records. After hearing only two of his songs, Asthmatic Kitty coaxed David to record an album of his own for release. Now with the release of Heavy Ghost, David is putting his inexplicable visions to song. A true artistic entrepreneur, David spent a year writing, arranging and recording, performing nearly all of the music on Heavy Ghost—even creating all of the album’s artwork—resulting in an intensely personal masterwork that exposes his own conflicted spirituality and his drive to find a place in which he belongs. In addition to coming from a musical family, David was also brought up in an intensely religious family, and much of his artistic struggle has been trying to reconcile his emerging sense of ethics with that of his church’s identity. Finding a spiritual host for himself—without repressing or discrediting any part of himself—is the central struggle that his music addresses. Musically, Heavy Ghost is as dense as it is transparent, taking listeners through a tumultuous narrative of self-discovery with its rich and daring orchestration. In the opening track, "Isaac’s Song," a torrent of piano slams, shouts, machine-gun snare, and ghostly harmonics evoke the biblical story of Abraham—when God called upon him to sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moria, testing him to see if he would be willing to make the highest sacrifice in order to appease the God he so loves and fears. In the context of Heavy Ghost, this reference introduces the album as a sort of sacrifice, as an offering. In "Pity Dance," the lilting guitar of Violeta Parra, the over-saturated production of Tom Waits, the dark choirs of The Shangri-Las, and the speak song of Randy Newman all serve to support a sense of lyrical self-awareness that is alternately confounding and thrilling. No longer can the artist simply ignore or suppress the parts of himself “that he doesn’t like” in order to be accepted by his spiritual community; these parts must either be completely embraced or exhumed. But first these elements must be confronted. Heavy Ghost continues along the route of confrontation and purification, reaching a frenzied breaking point with "Spirit Parade," in which David performs a sort of musical exorcism on himself. Full of visceral, percussive elements, otherworldly wails, and a humming motif that echoes an African-American spiritual, Spirit Parade gives thrilling nods to haunting mysticism. After this track, the tone of the album begins to gradually settle into a realm of peaceful resolution. In "Morning Glory Cloud," David Stith begins to leave his previously tortured persona behind, embarking on a journey of self-acceptance and atonement. Lyrically and conceptually, David Stith explores the ineffable. "Morning Glory Cloud" captures a mysterious and rare rolling cloud formation, connecting it to memories of playing hide and seek while growing up in the Rust Belt. In "Fire of Birds," David connects seemingly disparate experiences: being awakened one morning by what sounds like the neighbors speaking with fire; a memory of being burned by fireworks as a child; following a friend through the rain in the woods in the middle of the night to fix a water collection system; the story of Isaac burning and somehow finding a new body. Throughout the album, the concepts of water and fire are continually contrasted and expounded upon. Fire as menacing and rejected romantic passion in "BMB" is transmuted into joyous and liberating fire in "Fire of Birds;" the foreboding, melancholic clouds of rain in "Pity Dance" become cleansing, empowering watery visages in Pigs—the track that sets up the jaunting sacrificial rite in "Spirit Parade." Heavy Ghost communicates a startling range—from earnest yearning to heartbreak, shimmering hopefulness to the brink of existential despair. David Stith’s ethereal voice communicates the unfathomable—mysticism, the commingling of water and fire, waking dreams, spiritual torment—with such reckless abandon that is rarely seen in many albums, let alone a debut work. 1.
