Whitey - Canned Laughter

After what has felt like an eternity since his last release, albeit a leaked version of his album, “Great Shakes” back in 2007 is a new full length from the man himself, Whitey! His new album is titled, “Canned Laughter” and can be purchased here from Amazon: Canned Laughter. On this particular track whitey incorporates more dance floor ethos with a driving rock edge floor stomper in Dinosaur. And all i have to say is, welcome back Whitey! By the way the track starts off with “canned laughter” so let this track breath for a minute for it to really build.

He also has a new blog up here: http://njwhitey.wordpress.com/

Arnaud Rebotini - Music Components

France’s Arnaud Rebotini of Black Strobe finally released his solo album “Music Components” to North America. The entire album was recorded using analog equipment without the use of a computer or external sequencer. It’s a great album, and will certainly be appreciated by fans of Black Strobe and celebrated by collectors of analog.

The first single from Simian Mobile Disco’s second album, “Temporary Pleasure” was announced last week. If you missed the news, it’s called “Audacity Of Huge” and it “features vocals from Chris Keating from the critically acclaimed Yeasayer”. It’s a good track… but can’t help but think it would sound much better without these critically acclaimed vocals all over it. Infact, can’t help but think the tracklisting for “Temporary Pleasure” has too many “feats” on it….

Tracklisting:
1) Cream Dream (featuring Gruff Rhys)
2) Audacity of Huge (featuring Chris Keating)
3) 10000 Horses Can’t Be Wrong
4) Cruel Intentions (featuring Beth Ditto)
5) Off The Map (featuring Jamie Lidell)
6) Synthesise
7) Bad Blood (featuring Alexis Taylor)
8) Turn Up The Dial (featuring Young Fathers)
9) Ambulance
10) Pinball (featuring Telepathe)

Metric - Fantasies

Four years is not a short amount of time. But it’s been that long since Toronto indie rock outfit Metric graced us with an album following the success of debut Live It Out in 2005. The band has toured significantly during this period, raising money for charity along the way.

Their upcoming album, Fantasies, is expected to be available on April 14. The album is being released on Arts & Crafts in Mexico and Last Gang Records in Canada, but the band is independently putting out Fantasies in the United States. Vocalist Emily Haines has stated that she set out to write “genuine” and “simple” lyrics, while Metric’s guitarist Jimmy Shaw describes the sound on Fantasies as “very big,” and “very dreamy.” The first single, “Help I’m Alive,” has already become a hit on Canadian indie rock radio stations, and is a powerful, yet sparse and confessional affair.
