Speaking of Röyksopp and Susanne Sundfør, at the same Lydverket show they played an original track, “Running to the Sea”. Quite a moving song.

I think Daughter’s just become one of my favorite bands. The latest single, released this week, is called Still. Their first album drops within days. I’ve listed to all the EPs – Smother, The Wild Youth, and His Young Heart multiple times.
Released last week (November 26), Robin Guthrie’s latest solo album, Fortune, showcases 10 new instrumental songs. Whereas many of his songs sounds like they flow from one album to the next, Fortune actually differentiates itself from earlier albums. I’m not exactly sure why, but several songs from this great album sounds crisper and livelier in mood, though some songs, like “Tigermilk,” fall into the earlier category. Here is an iTunes link to check out the album.
Kickstarter campaign to fund documentary on influential shoegazer bands from the 1980s – Cocteau Twins, Jesus and Mary Chain, and My Bloody Valentine.
Recently on the Mew website the band hinted this tune, currently called “Klassen” (The Class), might be on their forthcoming album.
This song is simply wonderful, and the video a perfect fit. Why is this not available in the US as a non-import?
Now available for pre-order, Robin Guthrie’s latest album, entitled Fortune.
Awesome track from Stripmall Architecture

I first hear Tracey Thorn’s voice in early 1984, when I picked up Everything but the Girl’s debut record, Eden, which I still have. I bought pretty much everything I could find by Thorn and EbtG, until the late ’90s when they turned to dance music I failed to follow. Then just a few days ago I heard a song of hers on Pandora that I did not recognize. I turned to Wikipedia, or course, and discovered she had recorded a new record in 2007, and in May 2010 is coming out with another. Supposedly the link below will embed a Soundcloud audio player to hear the song, which is just superb. Check out her music at www.traceythorn.com. Her new single is sparse, her voice nonpareil, and the music just as good as it gets.
Just found out about another Kickstarter project to fund a South American tour for Asobi Sesku, another band that I discovered this year through Pandora – http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/549811469/on-the-road-again-asobi-seksu-goes-on-tour Their latest album (Hush) is so far their best, in my opinion.
