[Listen] Alt-J - "Fitzpleasure"
From their AA sided single Matilda / Fitzpleasure, which will be released courtesy of Infectious Music, comes "Fitzpleasure" from Leeds quartet Alt-J. Don't let the lead in on this song deceive you because the bright vocals quickly blend with a heavy bass fuzz, guitar scratching and percussion that will draw you into focusing on all of the intricacies. The band will be heading out on tour in February with Ghostpoet before joining Wild Beasts on their tour in March. Be on the lookout in May for their debut album. We'll keep you posted with more details in the coming months.
[Watch] Wild Beasts - "Bed Of Nails" (Video)
Another new video for you to feast your eyes on this afternoon, and this time it's from Wild Beasts. Laying down some colourful visuals for their track "Bed Of Nails" you can give it a watch up at the top.
The track will be available digitally and features a b-side, “Catherine Wheel”. In another twist the band are releasing the single as a limited edition postcard. It will feature artwork from the photographer Jason Evans and will be signed by the band. The limited run of 500 will include a download code for both “Bed of Nails” and “Catherine Wheel” just in case you were wondering. To order a postcard jump on over here. After the jump you can view the bands extensive upcoming tour dates spanning into late October.
[Watch] Wild Beasts - Télérama Live Basement Session
Check out Wild Beasts putting down a spine tingling performance of three tracks from their album, Smother. The album is set for release next week on the 9th in the UK and on the 10th in the US. Up at the top you can check out stripped back performances of "Reach A Bit Further", "Bed Of Nails" and "Deeper" taken from the album. The album was recorded for the French website Télérama in what looks to be a basement car-park of sorts.
Head on over here to pre-order a copy and enjoy the video up at the top but don't blame us for the hairs on the back of your neck standing up. We did warn you. Also after the jump if you want more of an insight into the release there's an interview too.
