Find Me the Pulse of the Universe
by Laetitia Sadier
album SILENCIO
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Laetitia’s soothing voice and summertime pop never gets old, only more refreshing and necessary. Sometimes it’s essential to pull back the blinders and special effects from all of the bands we’re inundated with. It also helps that I’ve been a massive Stereolab fan since I was like three years-old — I’ll always make room for Sadier’s material.
Laetitia Sadier’s “Find Me the Pulse of the Universe”, taken from the forthcoming full-length SILENCIO, drops July 24 on Drag City.

RIDE to reissue ‘Going Blank Again 20’ & ‘Live at Brixton’ DVD
Not the news I was hoping for, but great news nonetheless. According to RIDE’s official site, the band now has ownership of all their master tapes. Fans will see a slew of CD releases for Smile, Nowhere, Going Blank Again, Carnival of Light, Tarantula, and OX4 -The Best Of under the band’s label, RideMusic. You can order those records here.
The bulk of the news focuses on the 20th anniversary of Going Blank Again. Here are the details:
“When the band met up last September to discuss a number of things, one of the items that was high up on the priority list was how we would mark the 20th anniversary of ‘Going Blank Again’.
The ‘Nowhere 20th Anniversary Edition’ was a great addition to the band’s canon - with the ‘Roxy LA’ live CD being a worthy companion to the expanded ‘Nowhere’ CD itself - that we felt we should go one step further for ‘GBA20’.
After quite a lengthy stint of detective work, we managed to track down the original digital master tape of the Brixton live show. And it looks great! So we asked Catherine Marks and John Catlin at Alan Moulder’s studio to mix the audio afresh from the 2” master tapes of the gig. Catherine had worked under Alan’s watchful eye on the Roxy LA mixes and so we were really happy that she could find time to mix and edit the Brixton audio. Needless to say, it sounds truly wonderful and we’re really pleased to now finally have a Ride release on DVD.
So ‘GBA20’ will have the regular 14-track ‘Going Blank Again’ CD as the first disc and the Brixton DVD as the second disc. They will be packaged in a hardback cardboard case with a canvas-style cover and a 36 page booklet full of unseen photos and new sleeve notes written by Joe Clay from The Times, drawn from interviews with all of the band and Alan Moulder.
‘GBA20’ will not be available in stores and will only be sold directly from OxfordMusic.Net and, in due course, the new Ride website.
The first 2000 copies of this 20th Anniversary Edition will be numbered and 50 of these 2000 will be randomly selected to be signed by all four members of the band. Also, these first 2000 numbered copies are available for you to pre-order for just £20 each. After the pre-sale has finished or when these first 2000 have sold, the price will rise to £24. We anticipate that ‘GBA20’ will be ready to ship at the end of May.”
Awesome, right? Pre-order GBA20 here. Also, this blog will have some very exciting news for RIDE fans, and shoegaze knuckleheads in general, this week!
Ana Lola Roman - Keep It Mellow EP
DIY-chanteuse Ana Lola Roman releases her new EP Keep It Mellow today (buy it here), a blistered 3-track weird synth-pop piece. I’ve compared her with the likes of Grimes and Laurel Halo in the past, which still seems fitting today. A full-length album Even Assassins have Lovers and Romances is expected to be released this Summer.
I know there are a lot of female solo artists out there dabbling in electronica, dark wave and pop, but Ana Lola Roman’s “No Architect” is a home run.

Dive - How Long Have You Known?
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
“How Long Have You Known?” by Dive // Oshin (2012)
Zachary Cole Smith’s Dive project continues to be the project in which I am most eagerly awaiting a full length. June 26th just can’t arrive soon enough, but luckily today arrives a little taster from the forthcoming Captured Tracks release (and already a recipient of P4K’s Best New Track tag) and it’s a shimmering, dream pop stunner. It’s pretty much as gorgeous and infectious as you could hope, and only further excites me for the future full length, “Oshin”.

Just when you thought Black Tambourine’s catalog had been raided with nothing left but a few broken guitar strings, here’s an aggressive JAMC-style rumble — reinterpreted by the impressive punk/noise pop barrage of Grey Gardens (via).

You Are The One
by A Place To Bury Strangers
album Worship
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
“Guitars as jet engines; guitars as haunted electronics; guitars as filling-melting white heat: A Place To Bury Strangers’ new album ‘Worship’ is explosive, visceral, and dark.”
Download the new track, “You Are the One”, from noise pop champions A Place to Bury Strangers. The description above perfectly summarizes the band’s career to date. I also really like the direction they’ve taken. Worship is due June 26 via Dead Oceans.

I’ve been on a serious Secret Shine kick since I came home from SXSW. I’d love for Captured Tracks to release all of their Sarah Records material in a limited edition swirly pink, double-vinyl package. Makes sense to me.
