Deerhunter Review The Breeders

I agree.

Deerhunter join CSS, The Bronx, Pit er Pat, Bon Iver, Gang of Four and many more at (now sold out) The Breeders curated ATP festival.

Friday Freebie (part II): The Breeders - Fate To Fatal (mp3)

The Breeders Fate to Fatal

The Breeders are readying themselves to release Fate to Fatal a four track EP containing a Mark Lanegan collaboration and (strangely) a Bob Marley cover.

Just confirmed the Bawley team will have a notepad in the crowd reviewing the new tracks as the band plays them at this May’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival (which The Breeders also curate).

The Breeders hand-picked line up will also include sets from Melt Banana, Bon Iver, Deerhunter, Gang of Four, X, The Soft Pack, Tricky, Holy Fuck, and CSS.

Atlas Sound Play Trick or Treat

First a spooky new Atlas Sound track called Coffin Trick promptly followed by a 55 minute DJ set creatively titled October Micromix. Nothing more just a quick spurt of Halloween themed action on the Deerhunter/Atlas Sound front man Bradford Cox’s blog early this morning.

Coffin Trick is all distorted vocals and slinky guitar, while October Micromix is consistent with Cox’s previous DJ mixes - chilled out, diverse and full of his favourite tracks. This time the mix travels from The Beach Boys to Robert Wyatt via The Supremes, Suicide, and Nico.

If you like what you hear, you can find more micromixes along with demos and new tracks for download all over the deerhunter / atlas sound / lotus plaza blog. Plus the brilliant new Deerhunter album Microcastles will be in stores from October 28th. Can’t wait that long? It is available now for download from pretty much everywhere (both legally and leaked).

The Golden Age

Mini Post: With new releases on the way from Bloc Party, Deerhunter, Mecruy Rev, and Deftones the next few months could be the beginning of the new Golden Age, or this could just be an excuse to post a link to the new TV on the Radio single Golden Age from the album Dear Science, due out on September 23rd.

Showing Some Support - Now Everyone Is Doing It

Earlier in the week Bawley introduced you to the acts supporting Nine Inch Nails on their upcoming North American tour. Clearly taking his lead from this blog Trent Reznor is using nin.com to do likewise.

I assume some of you may not be entirely familiar with the acts I've chosen to join us on various legs of this tour, so we've compiled a sampler EP for you. CLICK HERE to download this for free. If you like what you hear, be sure to show up early to the show (and please remember to support them by purchasing their music, if so inclined).

Download the tracks for yourself and be sure let us here at Bawley know what you think.

Showing Some Support

Having previously invited along the likes of Ladytron, Peaches, TV on the Radio and Saul Williams to open their headline shows Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor has a habit of picking great support acts, acts that don't always fit the industrial rock mould.

For this summer's North American tour Nine Inch Nails have invited along the five noise merchants straight from the indie blog-sphere.

A Place To Bury Strangers
Crystal Castles
Deerhunter
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
White Williams

So are they any good and how will the Nine Inch Nails crowd react to each of these acts

A Place To Bury Strangers
"New York's Loudest Band", quite a claim but one that on listening to their self titled debut seems wholly appropriate. Clearly influenced by The Jesus and Mary Chain APTBS are all feedback and space rock, their sound is similar to that of previous NIN supports Serena Maneesh, if given the chance they will please most people who get to the shows early.

Crystal Castles
This Canadian two piece come with a brand new album and reputation for putting on an ear-shattering live show this should see their club inspired noise win over the rock oriented crowds.

Deerhunter
With a new album due later this year expect post punk band Deerhunter to use this tour to test out some new material. Deerhunter claim influences similar to NIN and they should have no problems translating there live show to the bigger stage.

Does It Offend You, Yeah?
Terrible band name! You Have No Idea What You Are Getting Yourself Into... terrible album title! DIOY,Y? borrow the cowbell and baselines from Justice, MSTKFT, and Klaxons add some rock attitude and compress it all down to 3 minute pop songs, this does not make for great bean bag/bath tub listening, but should whip up one hell of a dance party, any one say nu-rave? I can't see the NIN audience pulling out fluro headbands and glo sticks but maybe a few butts will start shaking, maybe.

White Williams
While I love the album art on Williams latest album Smoke, I don't think his brand of lo-fi electro pop is really my thing and suspect that come 31st August when Williams walks on to the Lexington Kentucky stage he will have a battle on his hands to win over the sometimes difficult NIN crowd.
