THE LOVES - DECEMBER BOY
http://www.fortunapop.com/free_download.php?id=25
Unfortunately The Loves are splitting, having recorded their 4th album ...Love You but, judging by this beguiling tale of heartbreak, it is going to be a rather ace way to end 10 years of music-making. Their infectious, fuzzy 60s inspired pop fuses with sad lyrics on this track to create a bittersweet experience that needs to be repeated over and over. Also check out the suitably cute video above - you'll either throw up or cry into your second-hand cardigan...
The Loves are doing a few more live shows before they split, culminating at the Lexington in London on February 13th with a gig featuring support from Comet Gains, The Lovely Eggs, The School and Pocketbooks. Full details of the dates can be found at www.fortunapop.com
HOLY GHOST - DO IT AGAIN
Holy Ghost! - Do It Again
From a homage to 1960s pop music to a homage of 1980s pop music. Holy Ghost caught the ear a couple of years back with Say My Name, possibly the best electro based song not made by MGMT or LCD Soundsytem in recent years. Now, after remixing the likes of Moby, MGMT, Phoenix and Cut Copy, the duo are putting together their debut release on DFA records, scheduled for April. On the basis of Do It Again, it could well be the party album of 2011.
BORDEAUXXX - MOTHER'S RUIN
As promised in Monday's Lend Them Your Ears, here's some glockenspiel! Smiths references, Los Campesinos-esque strings, lyrics ("It was a short-lived, long-term romance") and speak-y bits - there was always going to be a strong chance that I would enjoy this track. It's available to download, along with the rest of the 4-track EP (also entitled Mother's Ruin) from the band's Bandcamp page. If you want to hear Bordeauxxx's twee indie-pop stylings livethey're are playing dates around London and the South East in February and March - www.myspace.com/bordeauxxxmusic for more info.
