Daughter unveil video for 'How'- the trilogy finale

When it came time for British three-piece Daughter to make videos for their new album Not To Disappear, they sent three songs to writer Stuart Evers. He wrote three short stories, which were then used as the basis for the new videos 'Doing The Right Thing', 'Numbers' and now new single 'How'. 
After tapping up film-makers to create the visuals, the videos are being well-recieved in both the music and film industry. Each video has their own tale, with the only common thread a red dress seen in each clip. In 'How', Tonra believes the video perfectly correlates in the desired texture, and that the red dress symbol is "up for interpretation".

Not To Disappear is out now on Glassnote Records.
Make sure you watch the videos for 'Doing The Right Thing' and 'Numbers'; but for now, watch the new piece 'How' below.

Kytes reveal "On the Run" video

Great, innovative Indie-Rock from Bavaria? Is this possible?

If your first thought was “No.” then you’ve obviously never heard of Munich's Claire, Exclusive or Swallow Tailed. One band that are just at the beginning of their career may be the next big thing in the Indie/Electronic-Rock world.

Their name: Kytes.

Having released just one song the band played an extremely successful gig in Munich this summer, and the hype just hasn’t died down since then. Shortly after their debut show, the four-piece released two singles. 

“On the Run” can only be described as a beautiful mix of catchy indie-rock and electronic-pop. Especially the chorus sounds a bit like a Two Door Cinema Club song, whereas the verse is more electronic, with more synthesizers and fast-forward beats, something Foster The People-like. Still you can't compare Kytes to any other band, not only because their sound is so fresh and innovative. And as they say on their own website: “Kytes paint with sound”. Totally agreeing with that, we are all very excited about their debut-EP which will be released on November 20th. Until then you will have to enjoy the music-video to "On the Run”, which was filmed on a super-8 in Brighton and is nearly as cool as the band. 

If you're in Germany, Austria or Switzerland you can catch the band on tour:
20.10.15 Zurich – Bar Rossi
25.10.15 Vienna – Buzz Boutique
28.10.15 Constance – Kulturladen
29.10.15 Augsburg – Soho Stage
30.10.15 Stuttgart – Keller Klub
31.10.15 Würzburg – Kellerperle
03.11.15 Cologne – Yuca
06.10.15 Berlin – Musik & Frieden
05.11.15 Dresden – Altes Wettbüro
07.11.15 Bremen – Tower
12.11.15 Ilmenau – BD Club
17.11.15 Regensburg – Heimat
18.11.15 Frankfurt – Das Bett
19.11.15 Kassel – Goldgrube
25.11.15 Hamburg – Nochtspeicher
26.11.15 Leipzig – Täubchenthal
27.11.15 Erlangen – Puls Festival

NEW MUSIC VIDEO: Stealing Sheep "Not Real"

Three Voices. Three Angels, Three chicks from Liverpool will burry your broken heart (no not mine, but yours maybe?) and re-live a new world in wich you surely would like to walk around. An unreal world maybe but nevermind. What we've got here is maybe THE VIDEO OF THE YEAR already stamped by me. But who am I? Well I'm a guy who maybe followed these girls a bit too early, as I might have been thinking that their first album which came out on heavenly recordings was a bit too Lo-Fi. And a bit too dreamy. But hey: CAN YOU GO TOO DREAMY? Nope not at all.

If metronomy had daughters in their best time, Stealing Sheep would be the answer. Just better looking. And I'm sure you can't figure out wich one of these "girls" past the "oh already" 30's of age. Tell me? You Can't? I knew it because it's impossible. Their music makes everyone younger. At least 30 years younger. At a time you would live in the 80's you still have the 70's sound and were reaching for something new. There you have it'. Glossy phenomenal epic vocalistic-artistry within a touch of love for excentric music and sound mapping.



Stealing sheep. Or more Stealing hearts right away when I was in Zurich or Hamburg watching them performing their first album. I love their music. And they kept my loving heart until their second album. I Hope this will all lead to a good end (when I heard the last track of their second LP "Not Real") and I will still letting them having my music heart. Thank you Stealing Sheep for doing all this beautiful Videos. You do this all with so much love. It's when your videos making people touch their hearts. Can't wait for the album. I Can't.

Bonnie "Prince" Billy unveils poignant video for "New Black Rich (Tusks)"

Indie singer-songwriter Will Oldham is a man of many aliases. Aliasii? Alias's? Anyway... Oldham, currently recording as Bonnie "Prince" Billy, quietly released an 11-track album, Singer's Grave a Sea of Tongues on Sept 23, via Drag City & Domino Records.

As BPB, Oldham's music has a DIY-aesthetic, which draws from rock, folk, punk, bluegrass, Americana and traditional country (think Hank Williams Jr meets NOFX plus the entire soundtrack from O Brother, Where Art Thou?) not unlike the musical genius of the late, great Jason Molina.

The first music video from this most recent installment accompanies the song "New Black Rich (Tusks)" and much like the 2012 single, "I See a Darkness" it features a heavily-whiskered Oldham, dancing through town. Check it out here via YouTube.

Tracklist:
Night Noises
So Far And Here We Are
There Will Be Spring
Quail And Dumplings
We Are Unhappy
It's Time To Be Clear
Whipped
Old Match
Mindlessness
New Black Rich (Tusks)
Sailor's Grave A Sea Of Sheep

NEW MUSIC: We Are Magnetic (CH)

It's never easy to describe a powerful song on which you'll find each and every second great colorful arrangements and a successful played popsong. So nicely written, as it could be coming from the northern skies, where the scandinavian clouds touching the farmer's cows and sheep and everything what's lying on the morning dew. Scandinavian morning dew? What the fuck? Nope, nothing from up there. Nothing out of the mainly swedisch influenced atmosphere, but surely you can pick up lines from influences like Duné or Lykke Li. THESE GUYS ARE MORE SWISS THAN THAT FAKE HOLED CHEESE YOU BUY IN THESE SHIT CONVENIENCE STORES. They are from Bern (Capital city) and rather look normal - now compared to a leadsinger from The Orwells. No seriously. If you hear their music it's absolutely a clear state of mind you can imagine. You have to. Because their promo picture doesn't tell you much about what they look like. Another great idea to focus on the music the artist is writing and offering you... It was produced by the famous swiss Indie-producer Phil Laffer as he always produces great music. It's what you say. We don't. I can't explain myself why they worked with him rather to join themselves for producing it by themselves. Nowadays, it doesn't cost that much money to build up your own Room Studio. But maybe it's just that I always wanted to hear something selfproduced by these lads. Better luck next time. Well I got pleased by the "Single-Cover" of the year. To be honest.

The duo knows how to write songs. Or I just wouldn't know why I spent my whole last teenagebreath listening to their old band "CHOO CHOO". That vocal always reminds me of the great mainly short meetings on where I accidently or on purpose had chats. Lovely ones and hopeful ones. Making the "young" artists tasty on what you might can achieve if you only wanna do these stuff. HA. Well they never really said things like that to me but this band gave me this feeling. Know what I mean? Good lads, incredibly talented songwriters and great gear lovers. I couldn't imagine a swiss music scene without the Choo's. It wouldn't make any sense. At no time. So what makes sense is to put up a new band and smashing it into the spotify playlist scene. OVER nearly a quarter million plays is what they achieved within one single called "You Say We Don't". Great isn't it? A hype within a hype. Inception? Nope. Nothing unreal comes with. Only great classic Pop. Bouncy and usual. 100% Earworm. Earworm for all swiss radiostations who immideately picked it up. Also swedish (bazinga!) station Gimmeindie made their earway(v)s to We Are Magnetic.

The band is telling you how it all came to this second single:
"Never Easy is the second single by us. The track was written right after one half of the duo returned back home from a long trip through Asia. It was the first piece of music that broke out of the songwriter, as soon as he had his fingers back on an instrument after months of musical abstinence." - Daniel "Dänu" Joerg, We Are Magnetic
