Looking forward to new Tyler, The Creator, Krallice, 200 Years Puerto Rico Flowers and High Llamas.

And here is new True Widow http://www.npr.org/2011/03/21/134538289/first-listen-true-widow-as-high-as-the-highest-heavens

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Nice to see another High Llamas fan. Really looking forward to that album myself.

[azaghal1981]

I like them way more than Stereolab honestly.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Same. I'm not that well versed in Stereolab though. Super Furry Animals were my gateway into Sean O'Hagan's talents.

Nouvelle Vague - The Singers

"The Singers" project originally started to be planned in 2007, but at the time most of the singers who worked with the band didn't had songs of their own so it was not possible to do it at that time. During the past three years more new singers joined the band and the compilation gained form and the final result for 2011 is a high quality selection of music with exclusive and unreleased songs.

I don't know if the Knife or Fever Ray will be releasing anything this year, but this new FR song 'The Wolf' is just killer. Love it.

And now iTunes has Songs for Japan featuring the complete opposite of the Thrill Jockey comp, e.g. Lady GaGa, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, and the anti-Elvis, Michael Bublé. $9.99, 38 tracks, all proceeds to the Japanese Red Cross.

Patetico Recordings is putting out a 6 volume set for the Japan Disaster Relief Fund called Rock Back For Japan. The series is named after an article that I wrote about the project. Lots and lots of good submissions including SPC ECO (Dean Garcia of Curve's band), Deep Cut (Mat Flint of Revolver's latest band), Screen Vinyl Image, Ceremony, Black Swan Lane (Mark Burgess from The Chameleones latest band), Spotlight Kid (former members of Six.By.Seven, Bent and Spiritualized), Thrushes, One Unique Signal (backs up Stephen Lawrie as The Telescopes), and lots and lots of bands from all over the planet.
