SummersRadio™ New Music! The Presets - 'No Fun'

The Presets have released a new single called 'No Fun'! 'No Fun' follows January's 'Goodbye Future' as the second new single from the Australian duo this year - there's still no word on a new full length album yet however. 'No Fun' is available now on iTunes.

                   

A video for 'No Fun' is currently premiering exclusively on inthemix here: http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/58474/Watch_the_trippy_video_for_The_Presets_No_Fun

There will also be a remix package forthcoming on August 5th that will include remixes from Lancelot, RÜFÜS, Wax Wings, Eekkoo and Phil Keiran.

Despite it's title 'No Fun' is actually is a pretty fun song - with plenty of oldschool keyboard sounds. The only part not to my liking is the 'music makes me wanna' backing vocal effects - but hopefully they'll be left out of one of the remixes... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! The Presets - 'Goodbye Future'

The Presents have just released a new single called 'Goodbye Future' online today! 'Goodbye Future' is the Austalian duo's first new single since those released from their 2012 album 'Pacifica'. The song is available today on iTunes in Australia and New Zealand - no word yet on release dates for the rest of the world.

                   

According to their label Modular Recordings 'Goodbye Future' 'is the first of a series of singles for The Presets across the coming year' although there's no mention of a new album. The band will also be touring extensively in 2014 - including European summer festival dates - followed by a return to North America.

As for the song itself I'm not sure yet if it's to my liking or not. I've never been a big fan of falsetto vocals - and musically speaking this song is no 'Youth In Trouble' - my favourite song of 2012 which you can revisit here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/06/summersradio-new-video-concert-news.html.

Some remixes could certainly save this one though so I look forward to hearing them... Enjoy!

London's Fort Romeau fully embraces the second Summer Of Love era feel of the original - the only word that can accurately describe this deep house/ disco remix is Blissful... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy - 'Free Your Mind'

Cut Copy have just released their new single 'Free Your Mind' online! 'Free Your Mind' is the title track from the Melbourne band's forthcoming fourth album which is due for release November 5th on Modular Recordings.

                   

'Free Your Mind' is the second single from the album following July's 'Let Me Show You Love': http://summersradio.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/summersradio-new-music-cut-copy.html

It says on the Modular website that the band was going for a 'Summer Of Love' vibe on this album - paying tribute to both 1967 and 1988/89. The title track sounds more like the latter - with positive lyrics and a club feel reminiscent of The Beloved and Happy Mondays... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy - 'Let Me Show You'

Cut Copy have released a new song at the Pitchfork Music Festival called 'Let Me Show You'! At the festival there was a live demonstration of how to make a vinyl record with a lathe - in total a 120 copies of 'Let Me Show You' were made and the purchasers name of each copy was hand etched into the vinyl.

                   

Now the sound quality isn't perfect here as it's recorded off of a turntable but 'Let Me Show You' is a quality song with a hint of acid techno and certainly worth checking out. It's likely that the song will receive a proper release on their label Modular Recordings although no date as been set yet. (please note that the song begins at 1:25 in if you'd like to skip the intro - although it's rather amusing to see how this guy handles his super limited slice of vinyl)... Enjoy!

*UPDATE Aug. 1st* Here's a top quality recording posted on Youtube today by Modular - you can still check out the 'first listen' video below for a laugh... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Video! Tame Impala!

SummersRadio™ New Video! Tame Impala - 'Mind Mischief'

Tame Impala have just released a new video for their latest single 'Mind Mischief'! 'Mind Mischief' is the third official video and single released from their album 'Lonerism' - following 'Elephant' and 'It Feels Like We Only Go Backwards'.

The video deals with a common fantasy we've all experienced at some point - especially while being an undersexed teen... having a crush on a teacher! The video mixes live action film with psychedelic animation - so it's difficult to speculate how much of this was imagined by the student - but I reckon it's safe to say that he's still a virgin at the end... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Video! Tame Impala - 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards'

Tame Impala have just released a new video for their latest single 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards'! 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards' is the second single to be released from the Australian band's second album 'Lonerism', which came out last month on the Modular Recordings label.

The video is well suited to the dreamy psychedelic feel of the song - and it was made entirely from plasticine! This is the new video for 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! The Presets! Split Enz!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! The Presets - 'Ghosts'/ 'Split Enz 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat'

The Presets have just released their latest single called 'Ghosts'! 'Ghosts' is the second single (following 'Youth In Trouble') from their forthcoming third album 'Pacifica' which is released September 7th on Modular Recordings.

'Ghosts' is very different from 'Youth In Trouble' - as it's much more laid back affair. I definitely prefer 'Youth...' about 100 times over at this point - but I'm not going to write this one off just yet as they haven't made a proper video (and they do make good ones) and I reckon some remixes could certainly save this one. It sounds a bit like a song one might sing on a boat - so it may go over well with pirates :)

Enjoy... !



Bonus Track! The new Presets single reminded me of a classic seafaring summer tune from another band from downunder - although from New Zealand rather than Australia.

Split Enz released 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat' as the second single from their album 'Time And Tide' way back in 1982. I like this video version of the song as it also includes the brief instrumental tune 'Pioneer' (which preceded the song and segued into it on the album) as it's intro... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Video + Concert News + More! The Presets!

SummersRadio™ New Video + Concert News + Free Remix Download Link! The Presets - 'Youth In Trouble' (full song/ video)

The Presets have just posted the official video for their new single online today! Last week we featured the teaser videos for the song - today we have the full song and complete video. 'Youth In Trouble' is the first single from their much anticipated forthcoming third album called 'Pacifica' which will be released on September 14th.

Their label Modular Recordings just premiered the video directed by New York visual artist Yoshi Sodeoka this afternoon. So far it's only had 303 views but I reckon that will rise pretty chop chop as both the song and video are fantastic. The announcement came in an e-mail that describes the tune as 'a never-ending, undulating slice of face-melting techno' - and I concur.

'Youth In Trouble' will be available for purchase on itunes tomorrow - along with a three track remix EP featuring remixes by Green Velvet, Alex Metric, and The Finger Prince & Light Year. As a bonus you can get a free download of 'The Finger Prince & Light Year Remix' now by signing up for the Modular Newsletter here: http://www.modularpeople.com/subscribe/s/?cf=eyJhcnRpc3RzX3RoZV9wcmVzZXRzIjoxLCJkb3dubG9hZF9jb2RlIjoidGhlcHJlc2V0c3lpdHJlbWl4In0=&wt=ZG93bmxvYWRfdGhlX3ByZXNldHNfcmVtaXg=

And if a new song, new video, and free download isn't enough exciting Presets news for you - the band have also just announced a series of North American dates in October that includes a show in Vancouver! The band will be performing at The Commodore on October 15th - tickets go on sale this Saturday at 10am at Ticketmaster: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/110048D7833110C0?artistid=1103261&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=60

I saw them at The Commodore on their last tour and it was amazing both sonically and visually, so if you're a fan I highly recommend checking them out. And now - here's the new video for 'Youth In Trouble' - I love this song... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy - 'Take Me Over' Cut Copy's new single 'Take Me Over' premiered on Australia's triple j radio this morning, and they posted this unedited version online just hours ago! It's pretty poppy - and chill - almost Roxy Music-ish. Guitarist Tim Hoey says that it's 'certainly one of the more pop moments on the album'. Their third full length entitled 'Zonoscope' - released on Modular Recordings - is due out in February. I look forward to some remixes on this one... Enjoy!
