The Birthday Massacre unveils new song 'One', taken from upcoming album 'Under Your Spell'

18/5/2017

Picture

‘Under Your Spell’ is the 7th album by the Birthday Massacre, and with it comes eleven songs that  reveal a side of the Canadian band that audiences may not be familiar with. Driven with the band’s  signature, unique blend of spiralling synth melodies, walls of guitar and evocative vocals, the new songs range from dark, aggressive anthems to danceable, pretty pop and hit all the bases that  audiences have come to expect. However, there is also a rawness to the emotion being expressed,  an openness and vulnerability that feels new. 


One thing that is clearer than ever, however, is the tight bond that exists between the band members  and their willingness to explore heartbreak and loss together. With these songs, they  have entered  the darkness of their most fragile emotions and returned with a cohesive and detailed musical portrait that captures both the anger and hope that exist within a moment in time.


The Birthday Massacre continue to make music that is so very unique to them. Once again, they have managed to create an album that somehow feels so familiar, yet challenges the listener to  continue alongside them on their ever-changing, ever-growing journey.

The Birthday Massacre have made a second song from their upcoming new album available to hear:-

The Birthday Massacre chose the colour violet for all their subsequent artwork (after their 'Violet' EP), stating that “Violet is the colour of the tragic comedy. We associate it with fantasy and 
melancholy. These themes make up much of the band’s lyrical inspiration. The colour also 
mirrors our sound dynamic. Our music mixes contrasting elements. In turn, violet is the sum 
of two contrasting colours: Red and Blue.”

Multi-media recording artist and producer Grimes shares the official video for 'Venus Fly.' The video, directed and edited by Grimes, also features Janelle Monáe. 'Venus Fly' is now live on Grimes' YouTube; watch the video here: http://smarturl.it/VenusFlyYT

"We used the Phantom cameras to create a feeling of time suspended," said Grimes of the inspiration behind the video.

'Venus Fly' is taken from Grimes' critically-adored album 'Art Angels' (4AD) which had prime placement on basically every End of Year list. Last year, Grimes toured the album, selling out venues and headlining festivals across the world.

Canadian Pop Punkers Courage My Love debut new single "Stereo"

InVogue Records recording artists Courage My Love have today launched “Stereo” as the first single from their forthcoming full-length debut album. The track is available at all digital music providers as well at all streaming services here.

Watch the lyric video for “Stereo” here.

Produced by David Bendeth (Paramore, Of Mice and Men, Papa Roach), “Stereo” introduces a new arsenal of sounds for the Kitchener, Ontario-based trio who have made a name for themselves and built a strong following on a number of tours across North America and Europe.

“We didn’t want to be stuck underneath a female-fronted rock band ceiling,” admits guitarist / singer Mercedes Arn-Horn. “We wanted to reach beyond that constraint and see where it would take us.”
During the recording of Synesthesia, Arn-Horn’s twin sister, drummer / singer Phoenix taught herself synth programming which helped shaped the sound of the new album and gave the band a new attitude when it can to songwriting.

“We lost our ego of wanting to show off,” says Phoenix. “Now, when we write, its more about the song and what it needs. We try to make songs instead of flashy parts.”

Courage My Love were first discovered at a 2010 battle of the Bands in Stratford Ontario. The band’s independently produced video for the song “Bridges” amassed over 2 million views and the band discovered that director Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) was among the many fans that had discovered their music. The band signed with Warner Music Canada in 2011 and in 2012 Alternative Press Magazine pegged them as one of the bands to watch that year. In 2014 The band’s first two EPs, For Now and Becoming, earned them a 2014 JUNO Awards nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year and later that summer Courage My Love joined the vans Warped Tour across North America.
More information about the new album will be released in the coming months.

Courage My Love is:

Mercedes Arn-Horn – vocals, guitar
Phoenix Arn-Horn – vocals, drums, synths
Brandon Lockwood - bass

Crystal Castles unveil 'Fleece'. New album Amnesty (I) out now

22/8/2016

Crystal Castles have recently unveiled new track ‘Fleece’, which was premiered last night (August 15th) by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, taken from their forthcoming new album Amnesty (I). The track is available to listen to HERE.

Moving glacially between ethereal techno pop and speaker-shattering rave breakdowns, ‘Fleece’ is another fascinating insight into the breathtaking sonic and emotional palette on Amnesty (I).

In addition, Crystal Castles have announced a special in-store performance at Rough Trade East in London on Tuesday, August 23rd. This comes ahead of the band playing the BBC Radio 1/NME Stage at Reading & Leeds Festivals later this month, before continuing to further European and North American headline and festival tour dates, with further UK shows to be announced soon.

Known for their chaotic live shows and visceral, melancholic home-made productions, Crystal Castles released a trilogy of critically acclaimed albums between 2008-2013. Their last album III was the Tumblr and Hype Machine album of the year for 2013, and NME’s #4 album of the year. In 2015 they released the stand-alone tracks ‘Frail’ and ‘Deicide’, with new member Edith Frances.

Across its 11 tracks, Amnesty (I) explores the sonic and atmospheric range that we have learned to expect from a Crystal Castles record. From gothic electronic paeans to distorted digital raves, from cinematic synth and noise crescendos to hip hop and trap infused synth pop, it is uniformly compelling, uncompromising and anchored in feeling.



Amnesty (I) is out now.

Track listing

1. Femen
2. Fleece
3. Char
4. Enth
5. Sadist
6. Teach Her How To Hunt
7. Chloroform
8. Frail
9. Concrete
10. Ornament
11. Their Kindness Is Charade
