What’s caught the ear of Texperts this week (April 11th)
Portishead- Machine Gun: When we found out there was a sneak of the new album available, this one caused quite a stir… It looks like it was all worth the wait.
The Breeders-We’re Going to Rise: Rumours that absolute zero is to be renamed “Kim Deal”, on account of her being the epitome of cool, are unconfirmed.
Cut Chemist feat. Hymnal- What’s the Altitude: Just listen. It’s great.
Neon Neon- I Lust U: Take one Welsh singer-songwriter, one Super Furry Animal and some cool electronic beats and you get this bad boy.
Blood Red Shoes- Its Getting Boring By the Sea: In anticipation of their upcoming debut album.
The Cribs- I’m A Realist: Apparently Johnny Marr is a full time Crib now. Can the man not be satisfied with just one great band?
Squarepusher- Come on My Selector: Squarepusher + Chris Cunningham= Very, very weird.
INXS- Need You Tonight/Mediate: A bit of a classic
Rage Against the Machine- Testify: RATM return to UK shores this summer with a couple of shows at the festivals. Fingers crossed for a new album as well…
Roxy Music- Ladytron: And why not.
Idlewild- A Modern Way of Letting Go: Famously described as the sound of “a flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs”.
