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: Marnie Stern

Marnie Stern, she of hi-NRG fretboard shredding and impassioned squealing fame, is back with yet more awesome shit for your ears. This is the first track to be released from her new eponymous album, out 15th October.

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…
