The Liminanas Release Laurent Garnier Remix 'Dimanche feat. Bertrand Belin'
THE LIMIÑANAS RELEASELAURENT GARNIER MIXED TRACK"DIMANCHE FEAT. BERTRAND BELIN"
TWISTING THE SHADOW PEOPLEOUT NOW ON BECAUSE MUSIC
French psych duo The Limiñanas have released a Laurent Garnier remix of "Dimanche" off their new album Twisting the Shadow People. Garnier is a French producer and DJ whose multi-decade-spanning career has seen him through work with Ed Bangor Records and the FNAC label, the formation of his own F Communications and worldwide recognition for his electronic music work. The Limiñanas released Twisting The Shadow People to critical acclaim last month on Because Music.
Lionel Limiñana tells of collaborating with Garnier:“We met Laurent Garnier around his festival Yeah! That he organizes every year at Lourmarin near Marseille. We were booked for the 2017 edition, and met him and got along. Laurent Garnier was curious about our work and we stayed in touch. We started writing to each other, and gently sent him our new album Shadow People. Spontaneously, he suggested to do a remix on the track “Dimanche”. And he sent us this very cool hypnotic remix of more than 6min30! Totally loyal to New Wave and Psychedelic spirit of the original, he extends the track while respecting its structure (the text is kept intact, which doesn’t happen so much with remixes) strengthening even more the power of the song and its far echo, with the saturated voice of Bertrand Belin.”
“Sounds as if they have stepped out of Quentin Tarantino’s dreams…. a 60s-saturated stunner” - Uncut
“Garagey, soundtrack-infused psych, a swirl of pounding drums, spoken French, baroque melodies” -Mojo
"The Limiñanas stick to what they know — The Velvet Underground, Serge Gainsbourg, JAMC fuzz, ’60s soundtracks — but it always sounds effortless and cool”- Brooklyn Vegan
"Few acts play so successfully with the juxtaposition of dark and light as France’s The Limiñanas...It’s a ravishing, sexy and entirely European sound, albeit one strongly influenced by American acts such as the Velvet Underground, Phil Spector and ‘60s girl groups. Add a splash of Jesus and Mary Chain, Ennio Morricone soundtracks, the Raveonettes and even early New Order, then season with vocals in French, Italian and English for a decidedly artsy approach that never feels studied or pretentious." (4 Stars)- American Songwriter
STREAM "DIMANCHE FEAT. BERTRAND BELIN"One of France’s most beloved cultural treasures, The Limiñanas are Marie (drums/vocals) and Lionel (guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals). Hailing from Perpignan, the duo straddles the boundary between psych, shoegaze, and yé-yé. With hazy, reverb-laden hooks, combined at times with noisy distortion, and fronted by effortlessly cool vocals, reminiscent of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, the band is at once timeless and quintessentially French.
New album Twisting the Shadow People was recorded and produced at The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe's studio in Berlin.

Norway's Death By Unga Bunga announce new LP 'So Far So Good So Cool'
NORWAY’S DEATH BY UNGA BUNGA ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUMSO FAR SO GOOD SO COOL
OUT APRIL 6TH ON JANSEN RECORDS
HEAR THE NEW SINGLE “SOLDIER”
Photo Credit: Marius Eriksen
Norway’s Death By Unga Bunga make their return this spring with their fifth full-length album So Far So Good So Cool, out April 6th on Jansen Records. Since forming a decade ago, the band have been on a self-proclaimed “life-long quest to show people how NOT to suck,” and they’ve done that with a “blast of crunchy riffage” (Stereogum) here, and a dose of “uncomplicated and infectious” (NPR Music) songwriting there. Today the band release the new single “Soldier,” a follow up to last year’s 7” for album tracks “Bye Bye” and “Into The Night,” praised by Uproxx as “classic rock melodies akin to, say, Thin Lizzy, alongside fuzz overdrive that could be an early Cloud Nothings track.”
Stream “Soldier” via SoundCloud or SpotifyWatch the music video for “Into The Night” on YouTube
Even though Death By Unga Bunga are still considered to be fairly young men, they’re actually celebrating their ten year anniversary as a band in 2018. Rock band, to be precise. To commemorate this, they are releasing their fifth album, So Far So Good So Cool. A title that summarizes their career- so far pretty good.
The past couple of years for Death By Unga Bunga have been prolific and exciting in particular, starting with the 2016 release of their fourth album Pineapple Pizza. Never ones to rest on their laurels, they quickly followed that critically praised album with a remastered edition of their debut LP Juvenile Jungle, and a brand new four song EP Fight to round out the year.
In 2017 they stayed busy on the road, touring all over Scandinavia, the UK, Germany and Benelux. They also made two separate trips to North America, playing gigs from coast to coast in the spring, and returning this past fall to join punk rock legends Stiff Little Fingers as supporting act on their 40th Anniversary Tour.
On the heels of these exploits, DBUB are proud to announce that their fifth album, So Far So Good So Cool, will be released on April 6th. In a break with their previous efforts, this time around the band produced the record themselves, giving it a more personal touch. Fans of the band and new converts will find the guitar riffs catchier, the solos wilder, and the songs faster, louder and funnier than ever. Death By Unga Bunga epitomize everything that’s fun and great about rock ‘n’ roll, and this new album will surely help them further along their “life-long quest to show people how NOT to suck.”

Kate Nash Announces Fourth Studio Album And New Single "Drink About You."
KATE NASH TO RELEASE FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM “YESTERDAY WAS FOREVER” ON MARCH 30NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO FOR “DRINK ABOUT YOU”
OUT TODAY.
SEASON TWO OF THE NETFLIX ORIGINAL “GLOW” – COMING SOON!

Having just finished shooting season two of the critically lauded Netflix Original series GLOW, internationally acclaimed musician, actress and activist Kate Nash has announced today the release date and title of her fourth studio album, “Yesterday Was Forever,” which drops worldwide on March, 30th.
Along with her exciting album news, Kate Nash has revealed the first official track and video from her full-length, titled “Drink About You.” Listen HERE .
Out today on all digital platforms, “Drink About You” is a wonderfully sugary hit of bubblegum pop powered by a rickety drum machine and twanging LA-Lo-fi guitars, with an infectious scream-along chorus that breaks into the track. Accompanied by a new video, shot in the Los Angeles National Forest and directed by Liz Nistico from Holychild, “Drink About You” points towards a bright and bold future for Kate in 2018. Watch the official video HERE .
On the new single, Kate explains: "’Drink About You’ is about breaking up with someone and becoming obsessed with an idea of who they are, to the point you can’t think of anything else or move on. It’s an unhealthy obsession, you imagine things are better than they are and latch on to whatever you can about the relationship that could be turned to good. And you deal with the pain in an unhealthy way too.”
On working with her friend Liz Nistico from Holychild, she details: “I was in a video that Liz directed when she was living in Mexico for the Holychild song “Rotten Teeth” that I sang on. I admired Liz as a director and was so inspired by seeing a different side to her creativity. I knew I wanted her to direct a music video for me one day! We went for a home made/fd art/DIY inspired set and shot in the beautiful Los Angeles National forest."
On her forthcoming album: "Yesterday Was Forever” is an excerpt from a teenage diary. I used to be mocked for being a silly little girl writing in her diary, but these days I feel like the teenage girl is far more respected than she use to be and it’s teenage girls that have fought for that and taught people that lesson. Yesterday was forever is about your dreams being trapped in a time capsule, being caught in a moment for too long, and looking back through heart shaped glasses.”
In other news, Kate Nash has been busy shooting season two of the Liz Flahive (Homeland), Carly Mensch & Jenji Kohan (Orange is The New Black) created Netflix Original Series GLOW. Recently Nash – who plays the lovable British wrestler Rhonda “Britannica” Richardson – attended the prestigious SAG Awards in Hollywood, where the show and cast were nominated for multiple awards in this year’s ceremony. Season One of GLOW is available to watch now on Netflix.
“Yesterday Was Forever” is available now to pre-order HERE.
“Drink About You” is available on all digital platforms from today.
More exciting news to come from Kate Nash very soon!

SASHA SLOAN RELEASES TWO NEW SONGS, "NORMAL" AND "FALL" U.S. TOUR WITH JOYWAVE STARTS FEBRUARY 10
Rising indie singer and songwriter Sasha Sloan has released two new songs today, "Normal" and "Fall." On "Normal," Sasha croons over a driving guitar riff as she contemplates her desire to fit in, even if just for one night. Featured on Spotify's New Music Friday playlist, fans in New York City will see Sasha featured on Spotify's "New Music Friday" billboard across Times Square as well. Sasha has also shared "Fall," a ballad that finds her declaring her readiness to reconnect with a former lover as she sings over vocoded strings and a delicate piano. Listen to "Normal" here and "Fall" here.Next Saturday, Sasha will embark on her first tour supporting Joywave, which starts in Las Vegas. The tour will bring Sasha to cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Nashville, and more through early March (full list of dates below). Last week, Sasha was a featured artist at Billboard's Industry Nights: Grammy Week Edition at the Ludlow House in New York City where she performed a stripped-down set featuring her first two singles, "Ready Yet" and Runaway," and "Normal." The full performance is available to view on Billboard's Facebook page here.Sasha Sloan began establishing herself as one to watch last fall when she wrote and appeared on Kygo's "This Town," King Henry's "I'll Be There," and Odesza's "Falls." Her debut solo single, "Ready Yet," has amassed over 6.4 million streams on Spotify since its release in October. She then followed up with "Runaway," which, as Complex described, "finds Sloan pouring her soul out over a melancholic backdrop as she deals with heartbreak." "Runaway" was featured at #2 on Spotify's New Music Friday playlist and has been streamed over 4.6 million times. Sasha's songwriting talents have been sought after by the likes of some of today's top artists including Camila Cabello for her latest single, "Never Be The Same," in addition to Troye Sivan, Diplo, Noah Cyrus, John Legend, Dua Lipa and more.

BreakRHYE today release their highly anticipated sophomore album 'BLOOD' via Caroline International/Loma Vista Recordings. 'BLOOD' is available digitally and physically from today HERE. Limited edition vinyl bundles are available exclusively via the RHYE Shop.
RHYE today also share a new music video for track 'Count To Five'. Inspired by dance videos posted in response to the band's music video for "Taste", frontman Milosh cast dancers and recruited local filmmakers from around the globe via Instagram to create the clip's individual shots. Directed by Milosh, the stunning clip was filmed in Berlin, Tokyo, Moscow, Ghana, Joshua Tree National Park, and Los Angeles. Watch the music video HERE.
"Shot in 6 different locations around the world, the video for Count to Five celebrates personal expression through the universal language of music and dance," shared Milosh. "We invited each dancer to film in her home environment to honour her own individual experience". The music video for 'Count To Five' was created in collaboration
with @georginaleomelody(Berlin), @hfmtoyko and @momocarenri (Tokyo), @dkainmil and @tanyaermolenco (Moscow), @sire_choppenson and@dolly__dove (Ghana), @erinsmurray (Joshua Tree), and @jjaylene (Los Angeles).
'BLOOD' follows RHYE's debut album Woman, which was released in 2013 to wide acclaim. Critics were quick to praise BLOOD's previously released songs as "reserved, understated, and brilliant" (NPR Music), "busy but not cluttered, sexy but not serious" (Pitchfork), "soul pop that hits all the high notes" (Wall Street Journal), "delicate, sensuous" (Stereogum), and"music to fall in love to" (Uproxx). Sonically, the album is reflective of the band's evolving live show.Earlier this week, RHYE kicked off a tour that will visit cities across North America before continuing to Europe in the spring.

Dan Auerbach Debuts New Music Video For “Up On A Mountain Of Love” Via Entertainment Weekly
DAN AUERBACH DEBUTS NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR “UP ON A MOUNTAIN OF LOVE VIA ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
HOSTS NEW MONTHLY SHOW ON SIRIUS XM, THE SPECTRUM
ON TOUR WITH SHANNON & THE CLAMS AND ROBERT FINLEY BEGINNING FEBRUARY 10TH
“It’s a ‘Nashville Sound’ the town could use more of.”
– Rolling Stone
“Auerbach is a craftsman of rare skill and few equals.”
– Mojo
“…the end result is ultimately a testament to the great paradox of songwriting: it takes a lot of heavy lifting to make something that sounds so effortless.”
-Pitchfork
This morning, Dan Auerbach debuts his new music video for “Up on A Mountain of Love” viaEntertainment Weekly. The video, created by Omar Juarez, is exclusive to Amazon Music’s “Love Me, Love Me Not” playlist which will be released on February 9th in honor of Valentine's Day. Listen to “Up on A Mountain of Love " via Entertainment Weekly here.
Auerbach will also host a new monthly music show, “The Easy Hour,” on SirusXM’s The Spectrum (Ch. 28). “The Easy Hour” features Auerbach playing hand-picked tunes from all genres of music from his personal library. In addition to sharing classics, Auerbach will also introduce some of his favorite new artists in this one-hour program. The new series kicked off on Sunday, January 21, at 8 pm ET, and will feature a new installation every month. Read more about “The Easy Hour” here.
Recently, Auerbach announced the 20-date “Easy Eye Sound Revue Tour,” featuring Robert Finley and Shannon Shaw, with special guests Shannon & the Clams. The extensive North American tour will kick off on February 10 in Vancouver with stops in Brooklyn, Portland, Austin, Seattle, Los Angeles, Nashville and more (full dates below). Shannon & The Clams, the latest signing to Dan Auerbach’s label, Easy Eye Sound, will release their new album, produced by Auerbach, via the label in February and open every show on this tour. Each night will also feature performances by fellow Easy Eye Sound artists including Robert Finley, Shannon Shaw and of course, Dan Auerbach, all backed by the The Easy Eye Sound house band, which Relix Magazine named “Nashville’s New Wrecking Crew.” Tickets for this tour are on sale now and can be purchased here.
Auerbach’s new solo album, Waiting On A Song , which NPR Music calls “a batch of sparkling pop songs that's sweet, breezy, and primed for summer,” is out now on Easy Eye Sound, and you can listen to it here. The album is Auerbach’s follow-up to 2009’s Keep It Hid and is his love letter to Nashville. As such, he recruited some of Nashville’s most respected players to write and record his latest, including John Prine, Duane Eddy, Jerry Douglas, Russ Pahl, Pat McLaughlin as well as Bobby Wood and Gene Chrisman of the Memphis Boys. Auerbach said about working with his musical heroes: “Living in Nashville has definitely changed the way I think about music and the way that I record it. I didn’t have all of these resources before. I am working with some of the greatest musicians that ever lived.”
Recently, Dan Auerbach debuted the music video for “Stand By My Girl” via Stereogum. Auerbach also appeared on CBS This Morning: Saturday for an in-depth interview with host Anthony Mason about his new album, Waiting On A Song, from which he played three songs, “Shine On Me,” “Waiting On A Song,”and “Never In My Wildest Dreams.” Watch the interview and performance here. Additionally, Auerbach premiered his music video for “Waiting on A Song” via Rolling Stone and appeared on The Late ShowWith Stephen Colbert recently to perform the songs “Shine On Me” and “King Of A One Horse Town”.NPR Music premiered the video for Waiting On A Song’s first single, “Shine on Me”. Auerbach also shared the music video for “King of a One Horse Town” via Pitchfork.
Waiting On A Song is the debut release, and marks the launch of Easy Eye Sound, Dan Auerbach’s new record label which will feature releases from other artists and is distributed by Auerbach's longtime label Nonesuch Records. The next release on Easy Eye Sound will be of legendary bluesman Robert Finley’s new album this fall. Easy Eye Sound is built equally around Auerbach’s Easy Eye Studio in Nashville, where The Black Keys recorded their last two albums, as well as the collection of famous session musicians that have come to call the studio home. Auerbach says, “Sometimes I feel I created my own Field of Dreams. I built the studio because I knew something was going to happen. I built it to accommodate live musicians playing, and then all of a sudden the best musicians in Nashville show up, and it’s happening.”

SUFJAN STEVENS’ “MYSTERY OF LOVE” FROM CALL ME BY YOUR NAME NOMINATED FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG AT THE 90TH ACADEMY AWARDS
SUFJAN STEVENS’ “MYSTERY OF LOVE” FROM CALL ME BY YOUR NAME NOMINATED FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG AT THE 90TH ACADEMY AWARDS
Sufjan Stevens’ “Mystery of Love” is nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song at this year’s Academy Awards. “Mystery of Love” is one of Stevens’ three contributions to the soundtrack of Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name (Sony Pictures Classics), and one of two original songs he composed for the movie. Further nominees in the category are “Mighty River” from Mudbound, “Remember Me” from Coco, “Stand Up for Something” from Marshall and “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman.
The 90th Oscars®, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will be held on Sunday, March 4, 2018, at the Dolby Theatre® at Hollywood & Highland Center® in Hollywood, and will be televised live on the ABC Television Network at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
The nomination is the first for Stevens who, in the last twelve months, has released a live recording and accompanying film ( Carrie & Lowell Live ), Planetarium —a cosmos-themed album recorded with Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner and James McAlister, The Greatest Gift —a mixtape featuring outtakes, remixes and demos from his 2015 masterwork Carrie & Lowell, and “Tonya Harding”—a double A-side single in tribute to the legendary figure skater and American icon. “Mystery of Love” was also nominated for Best Song at the 2018 Critics’ Choice Awards.
Call Me By Your Name, based on the André Aciman novel of the same name, is one of the most highly praised movies of the year. It is also nominated for Oscars for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay, with an additional nomination for Timothée Chalamet for Actor in a Leading Role for his work in the film.
A singer-songwriter currently living in New York, NY, Sufjan Stevens’ preoccupation with epic concepts has motivated two state records (Michigan and Illinois), a collection of sacred and biblical songs (Seven Swans), an electronic album for the animals of the Chinese zodiac (Enjoy Your Rabbit), an expansive EP in homage to the Apocalypse (All Delighted People), a full length partly inspired by the outsider artist Royal Robertson (The Age of Adz) and two Christmas box sets (Songs for Christmas, vol. 1-5 and Silver & Gold, vol. 6-10). BAM has commissioned two works from Stevens, a programmatic tone poem for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (The BQE) and an instrumental accompaniment to slow-motion rodeo footage (Round-Up), and he has collaborated extensively with the New York City Ballet choreographer Justin Peck (Year of the Rabbit, Everywhere We Go and The Decalogue).

LISTEN TO "PICTURESONG"
Los Angeles duo Girlpool, comprised of Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker, has released a new track with contributions (keyboards, guitars, backing vocals, and mixing) from Blood Orange's Dev Hynes titled "Picturesong." Of the song, the band say "picturesong is a word invented to explore what we create in each other when we want to feel deep love because of loneliness or otherwise, and brings into question the reality and delusion of the things we feel," while Dev Hynes says "i'm such a fan of Girlpool, and loved working with them. Their harmonies are some of my favourites that are out there."
Girlpool is hitting the road next week and playing shows on both coasts with The Hotelier, Land of Talk (solo), Forth Wanderers, Palberta and Special Explosion. All dates below.
