Mark Knight & D.Ramirez vs. Underworld – Downpipe

Niall — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:25:16 +0000

Directed by Eoghan Kidney whose impressive 2009 video showreel can be seen here, this video features the Playhouse Dublin project which featured 100,000 LEDs wired up to Dublin’s tallest building Liberty Hall. Brilliant.

Charlotte Gainsbourg feat. Beck – Heaven Can Wait (Director’s cut)

Niall — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:31:28 +0000

What the fuck just happened? Explanation after the jump.

Taken from the knowledgeable Antville site comments, it appears director Keith Schofield likes his ffffound internet images hard:

More comments.

There’s also this tamer label version which is much more visible:

A selection of random yet quality-assured remixes that have passed through my inbox in the last few weeks that you might like featuring Joe Goddard, Four Tet, Delorentos, Wolf Gang, Gaggle, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, The Field, Gold Panda, Brassica, Chromeo and St. Etienne.

Last week, Joe Goddard of Hot Chip released the Apple Bobbing EP containing tracks from his Harvest Festival album which also featured this Four Tet rework.

MP3: Joe Goddard – Apple Bobbing (Four Tet remix)

Starfucker are now known as Pyramiddd and they are in the UK from tonight for their first European dates. This is a B-side to forthcoming single Medicine – taken from the band’s Jupiter EP. They’re active on the Twitter too.

MP3: Pyramiddd – Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second (Strategy remix)

The Boners weren’t the only band to remix S.E.C.R.E.T. by Delorentos, as The Expert from MJEX also put his own spin on it recently.

MP3: Delorentos – S.E.C.R.E.T (The Expert remix)

Two remixes here of Wolf Gang’s tune ‘The King and All his Men’ by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and the riot-choir Gaggle which I featured last week.

MP3: Wolf Gang – The King and All his Men (Gaggle remix)

MP3: Wolf Gang – The King and All his Men (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs remix)

The Field will release Yesterday and Today Remixe through Kompakt on 12″ and Digital EP on the 7th of December. Three remixes by Rainbow Arabia, Gold Panda and Walls feature. Here’s Gold Panda’s blissed-out version of the awesomely-titled ‘I Have The Moon, You Have The Internet’.

MP3: The Field – I Have The Moon, You Have The Internet (Gold Panda remix)

Taken from 20 Jazz Funk Greats’ first release as a label under the name Hungry for Power, comes this odd and unnerving Brassica remix of Brighton band Cold Pumas’ ‘A Tempting Haunt’, a fitting name indeed for this Kraut-synth shitbeast. Buy the 12″ here.

MP3: Cold Pumas – A Tempting Haunt (Brassica remix)

German producer Siriusmo gives Chromeo’s Night By Night a serious makeover in the instrumentation department, introducing a bouncy synth which leads to a Gallic electro explosion.

MP3: Chromeo – Night by Night (Siriusmo remix)

And finally, a chill way to finish with the recently reformed St. Etienne taking shoegazy The Pains of Being Pure At Heart into melancholic Cafe Del Mar territory.

MP3: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Higher than the Stars (St. Etienne remix)

Video: Vampire Weekend – Cousins

Niall — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:32:13 +0000

In retrospect, the first official leak from the new Vampire Weekend album Contra, ‘Horchata’ was not really as exciting as it could have been. ‘Cousins’ is a different beast altogether: frantic, fun and frolicsome, like a younger brother of ‘A-Punk’ which is fitting as both video share the same director in Garth Jennings of Hammer & Tongs. The Cousins’ video is equally as fun-filled.

Contra is released in early January. Thanks to The Noises in Our Heads for the original Vimeo link.

Theophilus London – Humdrum Town

Niall — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:59:50 +0000

Theophilus London reworks his This Charming Mixtape favourite for Green Label Sound, the free download singles label. Theophilus really impressed (again) at the Green Label Sound Party in the Brooklyn Bowl last month during CMJ, rapping, singing and throwing out cool moves. The track’s got lyrical depth too:

“I visited a town once with someone, and it was great and amazing–kids and dogs outside in the sun. ‘Humdrum Town’ is about coming back to the town without that person and having the opposite experience. It’s gloomy, it’s dark in a humdrum kind of way.”

MP3: Theophilus London – Humdrum Town

Download ‘Humdrum Town’ direct from the site as well as other tunes from Chromeo (check the Siriusmo remix of ‘Night by Night’), Solid Gold, Flosstradamus, Cool Kids , Holy Ghost and Matt and Kim.

Win tickets to Arctic Monkeys in Dublin & Belfast

Niall — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:01:24 +0000

Monday saw Arctic Monkeys release their ‘Cornerstone’ single through Oxfam shops once again for charity after the success of the 7″ ‘Crying Lightning’ vinyl. The 10” format will be available exclusively through Oxfam shops with three extra tracks (and includes a download voucher for a free download of digital versions of the songs)

To celebrate the launch of the new single, Oxfam and the Arctic Monkeys have offered Nialler9 readers two pairs of tickets to their upcoming gigs next week in The Odyssey, Belfast on Wednesday 25th November and The O2, Dublin on Thursday 26th November. To be in with a chance of winning the tickets, email freebies@nialler9.com with your preferred gig, your name, number and the answer to this question:

How many shops does Oxfam have in Ireland? (BIG HINT)

Competition closes on Tuesday 24th November at noon.

Oxfam and Arctic Monkeys are also calling on music fans to bring in any unwanted albums or singles to their local Oxfam shop when they pick up their copy of the single, to help Oxfam keep turning yesterday’s hits into vital funds for years to come. And remember that you can do your online Christmas shopping with Oxfam, which has everything from a Fair Trade hamper to an Oxfam Unwrapped goat for a family in a developing country!

New Beach House – Norway

Niall — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:27:00 +0000

I remember hearing a version of this song in both Beach House shows I caught this year and the recorded version lives up to the memories.

Taken from the forthcoming third album Teen Dream on Bella Union, ‘Norway’ will be released as a 7″ single on 11th January 2010 b/w ‘Baby’.

After Victoria Le Grand’s collaboration with Grizzly Bear on ‘Slow Life’, ‘Norway’ is a lovely re-introduction back to this band with Le Grand’s voice the highlight for me, particularly the chorus.

MP3: Beach House – Norway

Video: Three Trapped Tigers – 6

Niall — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:05:12 +0000

Credit to Jim for putting me onto this band’s EPs. This freaky deaky video has just sealed the deal:

The song very much sounds like a band playing live Squarepusher cover. It’s from EP2.

New Massive Attack video – United Snakes

Niall — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:46:09 +0000

A new animated video for Massive Attack’s ‘United Snakes’ by United Visual Artists. According to Inflight Data, the song was first performed on the band’s 2004 tour, featured on the False Flags promo CD and has been re-recorded as ‘Bullet’ featuring Dot Allison.

Making of video here.

New Massive Attack – Splitting the Atom

NYC – The film of Warp 20

Niall — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:13:06 +0000

A 30 minute film of the Warp 20 NYC featuring interviews and performances from Jamie Lidell, Born Ruffians, !!! (RIP Jerry Fuchs), Hudson Mohawke, Pivot, Chris Clark, new signees The Hundred in the Hands, Flying Lotus and Battles (can’t wait for this).

Seriously, when is Fly Lo coming to Ireland?

MAP – The music blogger mixtape – Nov 09

Niall — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:03:15 +0000

Every month, MAP (Music Alliance Pact) asks 34 music bloggers across the world to share a track from their home country that they think you should hear.

This month’s Irish track is from Newbridge heroes Band on an Island who were great supporting SEBP on Friday night.

ARGENTINA: Zonaindie
Entre Ríos – Frontera
Finally we get the chance to showcase this great indie-pop band from Buenos Aires on MAP. Entre Ríos is a musical project led by Sebastian Carreras (vocals, keyboards, guitar) that has been around since 1998. Their first albums were recorded with Isol as the main singer, but since her departure in 2005 they’ve featured different guest vocalists live and in the studio. Frontera is a MAP-exclusive premiere from their brand new EP that will be released in a couple of weeks, with Josefina Mac Loughlin on vocals.

AUSTRALIA: Who The Bloody Hell Are They?
Boy & Bear – Mexican Mavis
Sydney singer-songwriter Dave Hosking has taken a slight change of direction with his new outfit Boy & Bear. Releasing his first EP Marmalade Hill late last year, Hosking has decided to abandon the songs from the album (which I was still rather fond of) and start fresh, writing towards a more mature and original sound. Producer of the first EP, Andrew Macken, has proven to be a great collaborator with his intricate and almost narrative-based approach to the arrangement and production.

BRAZIL: Meio Desligado
The Name – Come Out Tonite
If I had to bet which Brazilian band could repeat the success of CSS on foreign lands it would be The Name. Assonance, their new well-produced EP, presents songs that could put them side by side with some of the greatest names of the post-punk revival of the 00s or the major bands of nu-rave scene. Come Out Tonite is here to prove it.

CANADA: I(Heart)Music
Magneta Lane – Love And Greed
Magneta Lane were on the verge of world (well, Canadian) domination a few years ago, and then they suddenly vanished. They’re back now with a new album, Gambling With God, but you wouldn’t know it from the total lack of support the album is getting from both the band and their label. Nonetheless, it’s a pretty outstanding release, and as songs like Love And Greed show, Magneta Lane could still conquer the world… assuming, that is, they want to.

CHILE: Super 45
Astro – Raifilter
Alongside electro-poppers Moustache, Astro (Andrés Nusser and Octavio Cavieres) is one of those noble bands cultivating the sound of acts such as MGMT or The Knife – just on the verge of the night spectrum of pop – acquiring a good combination of simplicity and a good dose of highly contagious fun for their debut album Le Disc Du Astrou. Following this trail, Raifilter is a song with a very special melody, the result of very intense arrangements as well excellent vocals courtesy of Nusser, who shapes a beach-like tune to give us a perfect excuse to have a neverending sound party.

CHINA: Wooozy
Loudspeaker – I Will Be Back
Established in 1999, Loudspeaker is the hardcore pioneer in Shanghai. This song is from the I Will Be Back EP released in September. You can download the whole EP here. Loudspeaker’s new album will be ready at the beginning of 2010.

COLOMBIA: Colombia Urbana
Hety And Zambo – Proud
Hety And Zambo are a duo with the capacity to get you on your feet and dance. The Kings of Creole, as everyone knows them in the dancehall underground scene, came together six years ago in the island of San Andres with one objective – to create good music with their own rhythms, writings and language.

DENMARK: All Scandinavian
The Kites – Play
I stumbled across these guys on a MySpace cruise recently and was immediately charmed by their quite British-sounding pop-rock. The Kites may not be revolutionizing music, but less has been known to do it. Not least when it’s this infectious. Get Play exclusively via MAP and then head to their MySpace page and check out the equally excellent Balloons.

ENGLAND: The Daily Growl
Jeremy Warmsley – Dancing With The Enemy
Rather than something new this month, here’s an old favourite from one of my favourite British singer-songwriters, Jeremy Warmsley. It’s from his How We Became album of last year. If you like this, he’s got a free acoustic EP available via his MySpace and he’s also fronting a new band Acres, Acres. Watch out for them.

ESTONIA: Popop
Antonina – Itsuyorimo
When Helene Vetik started to write music, she played on the streets to get some pocket money, started a high school punk-band that didn’t last long and sang at cheesy corporate parties. However, it was when she began to record her old songs into lo-fi electro-pop that she teamed up with Zanduro (keyboard) and Mihkel Masso (guitar) to form Antonina.

FINLAND: Glue
Cleaning Women – Across The Void
From planet Clinus 1 robots CW01, CW03 and CW04 (subbing for CW02 who was lost in action) create industrial avant garde music using a wide array of instruments, some rock lines, a few jazzy beats and a lot of funky grooves. The trio has just released its third album, U, which includes some futuristic tracks that could form the soundtrack of a Philip K Dick novel. One of them is the instrumental Across The Void, a good example of the spooky atmospheric music these hygienic robots make.

FRANCE: ZikNation
Kitsch Device – Is This Home Now?
Kitsch Device is a group straight out of the Parisian scene who take us on a high. They first started playing as a hobby but they now scour concert rooms in Paris and are always a blast to watch for their style and professionalism. Is This Home Now? carries a folk-rock melody which will make you shake your head and tap the floor with your foot to the beat.

GERMANY: Blogpartei
Candelilla – #13
Candelilla is a female four-piece based in Munich. Their impulsive sound fits into no existing scheme – it varies from Dresden Dolls to Sonic Youth, from punky grunge to vanguard indie. Straight drums accompany the piano, a whetted guitar accents murky basslines, all highlighted by the staccato voices. #13 is the first single from their debut reasonreasonreasonreason.

GREECE: Mouxlaloulouda
Giannis Aggelakas – Volta Sto Dasos
Psyhi Vathia is the soundtrack for a movie directed by Pantelis Voulgaris. It takes place in 1949 and tells the story of two brothers who fight in two different camps during the Greek civil war. Giannis Aggelakas, who was singer and songwriter of the legendary rock band Trypes, composes an emotionally compelling score drawing on traditional musical heritage. Sad, evocative instrumental melodies rich with contemporary elements coalesce with ethnic nuance that depict the era and echo the film’s mood. Volta Sto Dasos (”Walk In The Woods”) is a marvelous track that reflects the two elements of the movie – pain and hope – through the lament of violin and the serenity of the guitar.

ICELAND: I Love Icelandic Music
Kimono – Black
Kimono is an experimental rock trio hailing from Reykjavik and Halifax, Canada. They have released three full-length albums, the last one in collaboration with Icelandic producer Curver (of Ghostigital). Black will be on their upcoming fourth album, Easy Music For Difficult People.

INDIA: Indiecision
Pinknoise – Dream Dream
Pinknoise is an experimental rock act from Kolkata that takes nu-jazz sensibilities and combines them with angular, guitar-driven rock. Dream Dream comes from a soon-to-be-released live DVD. It’s the quintessential spacious, open jam that frontlady Jayashree Singh orchestrates with this band. With mid-song tempo changes and lazy atmospherics, it’s a fun five minutes through slacker town.

INDONESIA: Deathrockstar
Santamonica – Bobsessed
Santamonica’s album Curiouser And Curiouser was praised by the media as an eclectic mixture of pop, bossa nova, electronic and classic waltz drawing influences from Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and My Bloody Valentine to classic Disney soundtracks.

IRELAND: Nialler9
Band On An Island – Back Disco
The debut release from Kildare’s Band On An Island, The Sound Sweep, revels in the details of hometown life, taking in nights by the campfire, love, drinking, getting into trouble, picking yourself up again and this cute nightclub-themed song featuring the vocals of Claire Prendergast. Combine these myriad of issues with the music – a mix of country, folk, raucous guitar music and heartfelt ballads – and you’ve got the essence of Band On An Island.

ITALY: Polaroid
Annie Hall – Morning News
It would be too easy to describe the sound of the Annie Hall as a Beatles influence revised through a folk sensibility. But this way you would overlook the simple fact that these songs are truly touching in such an immediate way. Annie Hall just released their second album and are now ready to spend the next months touring the country non-stop, as they usually do.

JAPAN: JPOP Lover
Sebastian X – Tour Star People
Sebastian X are an impressive Tokyo-based outfit with indie-pop and punkish leanings. Their brilliant debut album Wonderful World was finally released last week. The band, who don’t use guitars, have catchy melodies driven by the cute pop vocal of Manatsu Nagahara.

MEXICO: Red Bull PanameriKa
Pepepe (feat. Cyane) – Sleep With You
Here is a track from Pepepe’s latest album, Roba Orgón de Plantas y Animales, released on the Poni Republic label. Pepepe is one of the monikers of Pesina Siller, a 21-year-old electronic musician and visual artist who was ranked among the top 50 in Radiohead’s Reckoner remix contest. He’s the kid behind various projects that show the multiple faces to his mystic persona, with sounds that go from dubstep to psychedelic folk. This song is full of clicks, cuts, lots of aleatory processing and a beautiful collaboration with Guadalajara’s vocalist Cyane.

NEW ZEALAND: Counting The Beat
Psychic Powers – Wellington
Psychic Powers are an international duo – Nik Brinkman is a New Zealander and Alejandro Cohen is from Los Angeles. The two collaborate on songwriting from opposite sides of the world via the internet. This piece of very 80s sounding synth-pop is about Nik’s home town, New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington – bringing together the local and the global in a way that seems purpose made for the Music Alliance Pact. The song has been released on 7″ vinyl by US label Geographic North.

NORWAY: Eardrums
Kråkesølv – Privat Regn
Kråkesølv is a quartet from Bodø, a town in the north of Norway. They sing in their dialect and their music can be put somewhere between pop, indie and post-rock. The band have received much acclaim for their lyrics and the reviews of their recently released debut, Trådnøsting, have been very positive.

PERU: SoTB
Los Protones – Swinging Lima
Los Protones are an instrumental band formed in Lima in 2007 who play in a style that combines psychedelia, surf and garage-rock. Their self-titled debut CD was released in February 2009 by the Peruvian label Discos Gordos. It is an album where there are no words, although they’re not necessary – the guitar solos are the universal language and the titles of songs such as El Desvío paint pictures that could easily relate to the soundtrack of our experiences.

PORTUGAL: Posso Ouvir Um Disco?
Casino Royal – Casino Royal Deluxe
Led by Pedro Janela, Casino Royal are a quintet from Figueira da Foz, a town known for its sandy beaches and its casino built in the 19th century. Casino Royal create music that takes us back to a certain living by the post-war European jetset. Would you like your cocktail shaken or stirred?

ROMANIA: Babylon Noise
Silent Strike – 27
Silent Strike (Ioan Titu) is a 27-year-old electronic music composer and sound designer from Bacau. He is influenced by Aphex Twin, Future Sound Of London, Orbital and opened for Faithless and Bonobo. 27 is a little gem of electronic sounds arranged in an acoustic manner and it was released for his birthday.

SCOTLAND: The Pop Cop
The Unwinding Hours – Knut
The Unwinding Hours have quietly risen from the ashes of the much-loved Aerogramme and the early evidence suggests they’re going to be every bit as wondrous as their former guise. All the ingredients are there – the gorgeously gentle pacing, the elegant orchestration, Craig B’s yearning vocals. Knut, taken from their self-titled debut album due out early next year on Chemikal Underground, is a MAP exclusive sanctioned by the band and their record label.

SINGAPORE: I’m Waking Up To…
Lunarin – Ariel (File Under Easy Listening remix)
Singapore is a small country, so we’ve formed a rather close-knit bunch of musicians and friends. One such collaboration between friends happens to be The Lard Brothers’ remix of Lunarin’s Ariel. While a relatively new group, The Lard Brothers have been busy making waves spinning as a DJ group and religiously reworking many classic songs by Singaporean bands. Their efforts don’t go unrecognised with this trip-hop laced remix of Ariel by the melodic rock band, Lunarin, perfect for the monsoon season that’s hitting our shores just about now.

SOUTH AFRICA: Musical Mover & Shaker!
Die Heuwels Fantasties – Our Heritage
Die Heuwels Fantasties are an Afrikaans group, incorporating elements of many genres, from hip-hop beats, flat out dance beats, to rap and rock sounds. Die Heuwels Fantasties teamed up with The Soweto Gospel Choir, HHP and JR to produce a song for Heritage Day. The song is called Our Heritage and features Pierre Greeff of Die Heuwels Fantasties singing in English. All in all, it’s a song with the message to celebrate our heritage and our unity as South Africans – artfully combining the many different cultural spheres into a feelgood track.

SOUTH KOREA: Indieful ROK
Playgirl – Happy Mania
Female trio Playgirl emerged in September with a retro pop sound from a time when James Bond was still played by Sean Connery. Inspired by The Pipettes, equipped with identical outfits and cute dance moves, Playgirl is currently the most adorable act to come out of Korea.

SWEDEN: Swedesplease
Madamm – Örnen
There’s very little info online about this mostly all-girl group from Gothenburg. I was struck by the band’s wanton energy and the loose nature of their songs. Örnen is a demo so who knows what its final shape may be, but I hope they retain the song’s raw energy.

TURKEY: Reset!
Bon Mod – Chocolate Cheesecake
Chemistry is all there is to a band. After meeting about a year ago, the duo started working together instantly as Bon Mod. They take their love of partying and a reckless attitude to make indie, electro and disco-flavored songs. They are possibly the most exciting new band for the season ahead.

UNITED STATES: I Guess I’m Floating
People Eating People – All The Hospitals
People Eating People is the solo work of Nouela Johnston, previously known for her work with Pacific Northwestern act Mon Frere. Her self-titled debut LP is a blending of Fiona Apple’s emotion with Regina Spektor’s penchant for melody. All The Hospitals is a catchy tune – we’ll see if Johnston can separate herself from the crowded female pack.

VENEZUELA: Barquisimeto Musical
Amigos Invisibles – Mentiras
Amigos Invisibles (”Invisible Friends”) has been around the alternative/funk/pop local scene for many years. Their groovy rhythms and funny lyrics, filled with Venezuelan pop culture, made them legends in their country and finally got the attention of music lovers worlwide, touring Latin America, USA and Australia. They signed with David Byrne’s Luaka Pop label in 1996. To celebrate their Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album, I have selected a song from that record, Comercial, called Mentiras.

Patrick Kelleher – Wonder (Jape remix)

Niall — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:54:39 +0000

Taken from the forthcoming remix album of Patrick Kelleher’s debut album – You Look Cold, comes this gem of a remix from Richie Egan aka Jape.

Jape turns the original’s haunting somnambulist campfire fingerpick into an ambient motorway journey in which the car takes off from a desolate country field into the night sky. It’s the kind of thing that Shackleton or Moderat might have done with this tune.

There will be 13 reworks released on the remix album probably titled as You Look Colder on CD/Digital in the New Year through Osaka from the likes of: Cat Scars, Jape, Hunter-Gatherer, Hulk, Katie Kim, Legion of Two, Skinny Wolves, Thread Pulls, David Kitt, Fucktotem, School Tour (great name for a band), The Booklovers, Toymonger.

Get the headphones on for this one.

Patrick Kelleher – Wonder (Jape remix)

More remixes from the album appearing here in the coming weeks.

Marina and The Diamonds – Mowgli’s Road (Gaggle cover)

Niall — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:09:08 +0000

Marina is back in Ireland this week for a show in The Academy tonight and a Green Spheres gig in Carlow with Digitalism and Miike Snow so I figured this cover of her song was particularly pertinent.

It’s from Gaggle who are a un-nerving 22-women strong alt-choir from London who sound like they’d be right at home on the soundtrack to doom. They draw their inspirations from slave songs, all-girl groups and punk yet are much more polychromatic than that. They’ve been called “nu rave Pre- Raphaelites” by Lauren Laverne and a “sci-fi riot choir” by Vice. I’ll call them a neon-clad bludgeoning coven of cosmic vocal sounds. Check them out.

MP3: Marina and The Diamonds – Mowgli’s Road (Gaggle cover)

‘Hidden Army’ is a bit foreboding.

Super Extra Bonus Party Delorentos remix & Comets MP3

Niall — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:38:45 +0000

This Friday night sees Super Extra Bonus Party take over the Academy from 8pm to 2am for a headline show along with four other great Irish bands: Heathers, BATS, Le Galaxie and Band On An Island and DJ sets after from IStandConnected (a mix is here).

Joining SEBP on stage on the night will be MC Rodrigo Teles in his last ever performance with the band along with Heathers. I’ll be doing visuals too so that’s my DOI. Tickets are €17.50 – you can buy em here.

Gavin from the band recently turned in this disco-stomping version of Delorentos’ S.E.C.R.E.T that I rather like. Check it.

MP3: Delorentos – S.E.C.R.E.T (Super Extra Bonus Party remix)

And here is the rather wonderful poptastic collaboration with Heathers which you can hear live on the night as well as in the video below from The Cafe on RTE last week. Available for a limited time only.

MP3: Super Extra Bonus Party – Comets

Here’s a link to the one-off poster illustrated by Stephen Mooney .
