SummersRadio™ Presents... Love Stinks 4! A Valentine's Spectacular! New Music! Spiritualized 'Mississippi Space Program' - 'Always Forgetting With You (The Bridge Song)'/ Spiritualized - 'I Think I'm In Love' (Chemical Brothers Remix)
Spiritualized have just released a new song online called 'Always Forgetting With You (The Bridge Song)'! Jason Pierce has recorded the song under the name Spiritualized Mississippi Space Program and the track is part of a compilation called 'Space Project' which will be released on April 19th for Record Store Day.
'Space Project' will be released on Lefse Records and it will be a truly unique package as the songs on it will feature sounds recorded by Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in space! Other artists featured on the fourteen track compilation include Youth Lagoon and Beach House - you can check out the full tracklisting on the Lefse Records website here: http://www.lefserecords.com/pitchfork-shares-spiritualizeds-track-from-the-space-project/
'Always Forgetting With You (The Bridge Song)' is apt for Love Stinks 4 as it's a love song featuring some sad twangy guitar, Pierce's pleading romantic vocals and harmonies - and hazy cosmic sounds literally from outer space... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Love Stinks 4 - A Valentine's Spectacular continues with a classic Spritualized track remixed by The Chemical Brothers in 1998 - 'I Think I'm In Love'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Cut Copy - 'Free Your Mind' (Spiritualized Version)
Cut Copy have made one of the remixes of their current single 'Free Your Mind' available as a free download today! Now I realize that I just posted the 'Fort Romeau Remix' of 'Free Your Mind' last week, but this remix is completely different - it's more like a cover - and as a bonus it's available as a free download for a limited time from The Guardian newspaper in the U.K. here: http://vitalartists.com/widgets/cutcopyremix/test.php
It's been some years since Spiritualized have remixed anything - if I'm not mistaken the last time was for Yoko Ono's remix album 'Yes, I'm A Witch' in 2007. Jason Pierce transforms the dance tune into a beautiful piece of atmospheric psychedelia worlds away from the original... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Spiritualized - 'Hey Jane'
London's Spiritualized have just released their new single called 'Hey Jane' online! 'Hey Jane' is the first single from the band's forthcoming seventh studio album called 'Sweet Heart Sweet Light' which is set for release on April 16th on the Double Six Records label.
The album will feature ten new tracks - this is the quite cool and rather amusing cover art:
'Hey Jane' has just been released on itunes in the U.K. on Monday (no word yet on a release date here in Canada) and it will be released physically on limited edition heavyweight 7" vinyl on the same day as the album (April 16th). You can pre-order the song on vinyl (which is divided into part one and two on the a and b sides) here: http://www.dominorecordco.com/uk/singles/14-02-12/hey-jane-/
'Hey Jane' starts off like your typical uptempo Spiritualized track - but there are a few things that stand out and make it sound different to me. One is that the female backing vocals are suprisingly upbeat - and Jason Pierce's vocals sound a bit different too - almost like Lou Reed during his Velvet Underground era. While there's no doubt that The Velvet Underground has influenced Spiritualized (and Spacemen 3's) previous work - even the song and album titles are reminiscent of the band - 'Hey Jane' and 'Sweet Jane' - 'Sweet Heart Sweet Light' and 'White Light/ White Heat' come to mind.
At nearly nine minutes long it's a rather epic tune with a number of tempo changes. There's a miniature 'Cop Shoot Cop' instrumental freakout about 3 minutes in, and it soon sounds like the song is ending - but it fades back in with the catchiness of a Wings tune. Then the last few minutes features a chorus that encapsulates the album title 'Sweet Heart Sweet Light' with layered backing vocals.
So there's no doubt that this is a Spiritualized tune - but with a few sprinkles reminiscent of other bands like the aforementioned Velvet Underground, Wings, and even Sonic Youth for a bit. It's the band's own sound - but with enough different bits to keep it fresh. While I (along with many others) consider 'Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space' to be an absolute masterpiece, I've found the last two albums to be waning a bit - too much sameness - and just too much God talk for my taste. Thus this tune makes me hopeful that the new album - while not likely to be a complete departure - might have enough variances to make it stand out from the others.
This is Spiritualized's brand new single 'Hey Jane'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Girls - 'Vomit' It's time for some girl on girl action! From Death In Vegas's' track 'Girls' to Girls - the indie rock band from San Francisco! Girls are set to release their second full length album called 'Father, Son, Holy Ghost' on September 13th, and they've just released the first song from it called 'Vomit' as a free download!
I've heard this track being compared to Spiritualized - which certainly got my attention - and it is similar is some ways... from the meek yearning romantic vocals of lead singer Christopher Owens, to the epic gospel style backup vocals - plus the organ - but the guitars sound much more American. If 'Vomit' is to your liking (!) you can download the song for free from the band's Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/GIRLSsf?sk=app_151079988301527#!/GIRLSsf?sk=app_113345305387225
This is Girls - 'Vomit'... Enjoy!
