Daily MPfree: Ganglians
More summery, echoey Americana guitar pop, this time from Ganglians, with a dash of twee and a dash of arch raised-eyebrow-ness. They’re playing at the awesome La Route Du Rock festival in Brittany next weekend. So utterly there.

Daily MPfree: Silver Columns (Caribou Remix)
Our Issue #2 lead story Caribou has remixed Silver Columns. I’ve included this beautiful nature picture instead of a picture of Dan Snaith not because he mings or anything, just for a bit of variety, like.

Daily MPfree: Deerhunter
Bradford Cox’s Deerhunter have revealed two new tracks from their forthcoming album “Halcyon Digest“. As the title suggests, these tracks are more in the lost-pop vein than the more ambient psychedelic rock of “Microcastles”. Fine by us. The album is released on September 27th in the UK on 4AD.

Daily MPfree: Gold Blood
Today: a fierce burst of electro from acclaimed LDN duo Gold Blood. It’s nasty, sexy, sarcastic music, several leagues above your average Shoreditch electro act; Gold Blood are all about unvarnished, almost brutal sounds with a subliminal sophistication. They’re genuinely stunning live: see them at The Alibi in Dalston tonight, and get a free 4-track selection here.

Daily MPfree: Grum remixes Everything Everything
Glaswegian master-remixer Grum can do no wrong it seems. Here he beefs up the already pretty catchy “MY KZ, UR BF” by indie-band-du-jour Everything Everything into a big old disco party banger. CHOOSE GRUM, indeed – his debut album “Heartbeats” is an instant dance-pop classic, out now.

Daily MPfree: Ólöf Arnalds
We’ve covered Ólöf before, but this magical Icelandic songstress plays London tonight so I thought we’d give you a reminder. This is one of her very best songs, Klara, from her first album “Við og Við”; the follow-up, “Innundir Skinni” is out in September. Tonight’s show is in the plush surroundings of The Slaughtered Lamb in Farringdon. Don’t miss it!

Daily MPfree: The Knife ft. Planningtorock & Mt Sims
The Knife open their spectacular looking collaborative opera “Tomorrow, In A Year” tonight at The Barbican. This is one of the more tuneful sections from the soundtrack, which has met with mixed critical reception compared to their straight dance music. Understandably so: it’s a “difficult” listen. Maybe the visuals help. Going? Let us know what you thought in the comments…
