Metronomy - She Wants (from 'The English Riviera')
'She Wants' is the first single from Metronomy's third album The English Riviera, which is out in April. I love their last album Nights Out a lot, there's so much personality in that record, it's quirky, sad and funny. From all the thousands of electro records released the last 10 years it really stood out in originality, together with the first two Hot Chip records. Their last EP Not Made For Love from 2009 was a bit disappointing, too serious and too laid back.
This new track sounds as laid back as the EP but has a much darker feel. I hope the record is like this. The stream is a radio rip.

A Very Short Film About Kristin Hersh
This is a beautiful short film / trailer for Kristin Hersh' just released memoir Paradoxical Undressing (released in the U.S. last year as Rat Girl) , about her early days in Throwing Muses.
She plays 'Slippershell', an outtake from her recent solo record Crooked plus it's highlight, 'Flooding', a song that always slaps me in the face whenever I hear it. The version on the record is nice, but when played live 'Flooding' becomes so raw and sad. I personally think it's one of her best songs ever.
Throwing Muses are in the studio now recording an album, Kristin updates via twitter. I can't wait to hear it. There's some studio footage now on vimeo, and especially 'Sunray Venus' sounds good.
Have a look at the film below, it was directed by Jory Hull and produced by Mike Sullo.

Minks debut LP By The Hedge is out next week on Captured Tracks. I like the first two singles 'Funeral Song' and 'Ophelia' and both are on the album. Overall it's a consistent record with 80's guitar influences, but I don't like it as much as Wild Nothing's debut from last year.
Tracklist:
1. Kusmi
2. Out Of Tune
3. Life At Dusk
4. Indian Ocean
5. Funeral Song
6. Our Ritual
7. Cemetery Rain
8. Bruises
9. Boys Run Wild
10. Ophelia
11. Juniper
12. Arboretum Dogs

Oneohtrix Point Never (ft. Antony) - Returnal
I just saw a beautiful interview with Antony Hegarty on TV, they put this song with the end titles. I never heard it. I'm not the biggest Antony fan, I like some songs a lot but I can't finish his records, I always just listen to the first half of I Am A Bird Now.
'Returnal' is a re-work from an Oneohtrix Point Never track, it's a collaboration with OPN on piano with vocals from Antony. It was released on 7" last summer with a Fennesz remix on the flipside.

Deerhunter - Colorscale
This is a bonustrack from the Japanese edition of Hacyon Digest. It sounds like an Atlas Sound track. There's another bonustrack, 'Rhythm', but I like this one best.
