FEVER RAY RA 178

Karin Dreijer Andersson, aka Fever Ray or the sister from Swedish pop brother & sister duo The Knife has released the latest Resident Advisor podcast. RA.178 is a Halloween-themed special and with this girls creepy vocals, she could have just sung over some beats and it would be dark enough.

you can check an interview with Fever Ray about the mixx on Resident Advisor or in brief  Andersson puts it :: " i think the eclectic and wide range of music makes it more dynamic and more intense. The tracks affects each other, they get even more mean."

St Jerome's Laneways Festival

Auckland will host New Zealand’s first St Jerome's Laneways Festival. It all started in Melbourne in 2004 by Jerome Borazio and Danny Rogers when they decided that summers in Melbourne would be far better with more live music in unique settings.

They started by putting on bands in a Melbourne club called St Jerome's Bar each Sunday afternoon featuring fresh bands of the time like The Presets and Architecture in Helsinki. Then it became a monthly club night called Brains featuring the Avalanches as resident DJ’s (luckeey!!) Still not satisfied that they were doing enough, Borazio and Rogers decided they could close the lane behind the bar, remove the bins and throw a proper laneway party.

From there St Jerome's Laneways Festival spread to Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and now Britomart Square in Auckland’s CBD.

So far, the Auckland edition of the festival features:

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN

FLORENCE & THE MACHINE

DIRTY THREE

THE 3D’S

THE XX

BLACK LIPS

N.A.S.A

CUT OFF YOUR HANDS

FAMILY CACTUS

new LCD SS

One of my favourite bands LCD Soundsystem [who are doing a dj set at Rhythm & Vines (oh yeah!!)] are prepping their soon to be released third album and if it’s anything like Sounds of Silver and their self-titled debut, it should be pretty bloody goood.

On facebook front man James Murphy made some comments on LCD SS’s new material::

"The art is photos by Ruvan Wijesooriya and graphics by DFA super-designer Mike Vadino of Bureau. The mastering for the vinyl (and digi) is by my engineer hero, original mentor, and best vinyl cutter ever, Bob Weston of Shellac at Chicago mastering. I'm honestly really excited."

"Should be a certain number of free downloads of the new single when it's ready. I must say, though, that we're trying to make the vinyl include a free download, so I recommend that. Mainly because we worked really hard on the art and the mastering, and we're proud of it."

Aaand now you can stream all twenty two tracks off the new album from

HERE

The album is said to be released in March 2010.

The band is also releasing a new single which isn’t off the new album. Due for release in November, the track is entitled Bye Bye Bayou and is a cover of Alan Vega's 1980 original.

you can stream both LCD Soundsystem's and Vega's versions of the song
