New video - Pantha Du Prince video Stick To My Side, embed album player
Last month Pantha Du Prince released his third album, Black Noise, through Rough Trade.
The album features guest appearances from Tyler Pope of !!!, LCD Soundsystem on 'The Splendour' and Noah Lennox of Animal Collective on 'Stick To My Side'.
Stick To My side will be released as a single March 8. Check out the video:
On his new album, Pantha Du Prince, who lives in Berlin and Paris, claims: music slumbers in all matter; any sound, even silence, is already music. The mission, then, must be to render audible what is unheard and unheard of: black noise, a frequency that is inaudible to man. Black noise often presages natural disasters, earthquakes or floods; only some animals perceive this “calm before the storm.” Black noise is something archaic and earthy. The music on Black Noise balances precariously on the slippery threshold between art and nature, between techno and folklore, which lends it a certain spectral and intangible aspect.
Black Noise is out now through Rough Trade/ Remote Control
Stick To My Side will be released as a digital single March 8

The recent elevation of some of London’s premier grime MCs to the top of the charts has created a new challenge for the city’s underground. There’s a need for new voices, new stories, new sounds, a fresh take on the themes of doing what you need to do to get by and survive in some of London’s less glamorous boroughs.
Cue Giggs, the latest signing to the XL roster. Hailing from Peckham, Giggs' signing comes on the back of an amazing couple of years that have seen him become the most exciting name in British rap.
A truly unique voice, Giggs’ combination of slow flow, dark lyrics, a well-documented past and explosive street sales has got everyone excited.
Giggs is now set to release his latest single, Don't Go Therefrom his upcoming album Let Em Ave Itwhich is due for release later this year. 'Ave a listen.

Searing and soulful, transcendental and life affirming, The Big Pink have recently emerged as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the UK. Following the release of their excellent debut record A Brief History of Love , Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell embark on their inaugural Australian tour. In March 2010, they are set to appear at Golden Plains Festival in Victoria, along with headline dates around the country. All show details below.
2009 started off with a bang, with the ink just drying on a worldwide deal with 4AD – an apt move as their otherworldly qualities provide a direct sonic connection to some of the label’s most celebrated acts like Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance and TV On The Radio.
They headed to the Electric Lady Studios in New York to record and self-produce their epic debut album, A Brief History of Love. The final results are eleven stunning tracks, including the intoxicating singles Velvet, Too Young To Love and Dominos, that chart the trials of the heart, set within a sound-world that combines melody and beautiful noise in equal measure.
Here's a taste of what the band will be bringing to Australia. In this exclusive live performance video, the British electro-rock combo serves up four songs from their acclaimed debut, A Brief History of Love: "Too Young To Love," "Crystal Visions," "Velvet" and "Dominos."
The British electro-rock combo discusses their experiences in Japanese bondage clubs, and the questionable allure of American glory holes.

New Videos: Vampire Weekend perform Horchata live on Sunrise plus new video for Cousins
Vampire Weekend are here! They landed in the country last week for a whirlwind promo trip and have very busy little bees with interviews, DJ spots, photo shoots and a few very special performances.
On Friday they dropped into Sunrise to give Kochie a taste of Horchata, click on the pic below to check it out.
We've also got the very frantic and fun video for Cousins, directed by Garth Jennings (the same guy that brought you A-Punk).
New Video and Stream: 4AD Sessions with Tune-Yards and Deerhunter
4AD have launched "Sessions", a new section on their website dedicated to capture live footage of performances by 4AD's best and brightest. The first to get the ball rolling is Tune-Yards.
If you haven't come across the work of Merril Garbus' solo project Tune-Yards, this is the perfect introduction. Possessing an expansive sound that marries a coarse folk ingenuity with the bold pop sensibility of an R&B siren, Tune-Yards' eclectic sound is one that will resonate with fans of Micachu, Scout Niblett and Bjork.
New videos: Golden Silvers, Jay Reatard and The Big Pink
Some videos for your Tuesday afternoon...
First up we have The Golden Silvers. Recently the boys headed over to the U.S and reworked the single 'Arows Of Eros' with a nine piece Jazz outfit from Chicago. Recorded in Damon Albarn's studio, this was a musical experiment that turned out to be nothing short of impressive.
Next up we have Jay Reatard and his performance of "It Ain't Gonna Save Me" as part of Pitchfork's A>D>D series.
Finally we the video from the British duo steadily taking over the world, The Big Pink. Too Young To Love is the next single taken from their album 'A Brief History Of Love'.
The next serving from Mr Cocker. The title track to his second pulp-free offering 'Further Complications' is now accompanied by a video that aptly mirrors the albums artwork. Nothing fancy here, just pure Jarvis giving it all he's got. So simple, yet so great.
Further Complications is out now through Rough Trade/Remote Control.
Check out Cold Change, the new video by Spiral Stairs. The Jess Carfield directed video follows a day in the life of 'Benmont' a beardy and somewhat down and out character. Spiral Stairs' debut solo album The Real Feel is out now through Matador/Remote Control.
New video - Basement Jaxx - My Turn featuring Lightspeed Champion
Some electro-balladry for your Friday afternoon.
My Turn is the next single taken from Basement Jaxx's latest offering, Scars. Featuring the vocal talents of Lightspeed Champion, My Turn is a glitchy, poppy, lovesick track. The Tomek Ducki directed video depicts Lightspeed Champion getting his heart broken over and over again by ruthless (but nonetheless very cute) animated bears.
Basement Jaxx Scars is out now through XL/Remote Control.
Wolf & Cub's Hearts tour wraps up this week. If you didn't get down to see any of the shows in your city, check out some videos of the boys ripping it up at the One Movement Festival in Perth.
Love Comes Close is the first video taken from Cold Cave's debut album of the same name. The Art Boonparn directed video is an aptly lo-fi, gritty and brooding piece of work.

A while ago we blogged about a certain Mr Reznor confessing himself a mad fanboy as he premiered a clip by The Horrors up on his website.
Well now Icelandic pop pioneer Bjork has taken to the trend by premiering Micachu's clip for Turn Me Well on her site.
Bjork has previously sung the praises of Mica saying:
"I saw her in London, in June, a year ago and I was really excited about her. I thought it was that sort of 'do it yourself' approach, with all these little guitars and her attitude was really fresh… think it's really, really fun. (She)is a bit of a prankster really, isn't she?"
Micachu's album Jewellery is out now through Rough Trade/Remote Control.

Let Basement Jaxx take you on a journey into outer space.
Feelings Gone is an intergalactic work of cosmic puppetry and pure innovation ( it's Jaxx clip, what else did you expect?) Aussie boy Sam Sparrow is a lonely, wandering astronaut floating in space 'till he meets up with Simon and Felix for a soulful space-jam.
Never one to take the 'toned down' approach, Peaches offers up the video for Take You On. Donning a plethora of wigs, beards, lamé and sequins, Peaches multiplies and struts her stuff en masse in what seems to be a parallel universe of colour, geometric patterns and synths.
I'll Set The Night Upon You is the debut video from Melbourne wunderkind Jessica Says. Filmed in stark black and white the video is a homage to the classic film If. Jessica revisits her past as a waitress, in a charming piece of kitchen sink melodrama.
