M83's telekinetic children are back martedì, 5 giugno 2012 01:38 by madseason
M83

Here's "Reunion", the new video off "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming", the sixth studio album by French (but relocated to Los Angeles) electronic band M83, led by Anthony Gonzalez.

The double album was released last October and is a great mix between synthpop and a more ambient sound. Gonzalez's tour with The Killers, Depeche Mode and Kings Of Leon, in addition to his road trips to Joshua Tree National Park, also heavily influenced the album.

The new video features once again the telekinetic children who escaped a boarding school and tested their powers in an abandoned warehouse, as seen in the video for the first single "Midnight City".

the temper trap

The Temper Trap is an Australian indie rock band which formed in 2005 in Melbourne. In 2008 the group relocated to London and released its debut album "Conditions" in June 2009 to favourable reviews and commercial success. In February 2011 the group was nominated for a BRIT Award as "Best International Breakthrough Artist".

The Temper Trap's sophomore self-titled release -produced by Tony Hoffer- hit the shelves in May in Australia, New Zealand and Europe, while it'll be out next week in North America.   The first single off the new album was "Need Your Love" (watch the video here), while as new single the band chose "Trembling Hands": watch the amazing new video clicking on the image on the left.

les friction

Les Friction is one of the most interesting new bands that came out this year so far. I already introduced them in this post 5 months ago. And if what I wrote is not enough to convince you to try them, here's what the legendary Queen's guitar player Brian May had to say about these Californians: "NOBODY, but NOBODY, out there, is doing stuff like Les Friction is doing. Nobody dares!" Not bad, uh?

Now I have the chance and the pleasure to present you the video for one of the many great tracks of their self-titled debut album, "Here Comes The Reign". As usual, watch it by clicking on the image.

After seven years from her second wonderful album "Now What", Lisa Marie Presley is back with a new studio record: "Storm & Grace" is  the title, the legendary T-Bone Burnett the producer and Universal Republic the label it's released on, after two works with Capitol Records.

"When songs from Lisa Marie Presley showed up at my door, I was curious. I wondered what the daughter of an American revolutionary music artist had to say. What I heard was honest, raw, unaffected and soulful... Listening beyond the media static, Lisa Marie Presley is a Southern American folk music artist of great value," said Burnett. And he said it all about the new album.
