The 1975 - New Single

The 1975 - Love Me

New Single

The 1975 have shed their pretentious all-black wearing image in favour of neon pink in the bizarre neon nightmare that is the video for their latest single.

The song is even more pop than their previous stuff - jarring guitar riffs and catchy choruses galore to be found. Still as mediocre as ever, the lyrics seem happy to embrace and satirise their fame, as Matty Healy cries "We've just come to represent / A decline in the standards of what we accept" Just how low those were standards to begin with, I'm not sure.

The video itself is neon pink and borrows something of 70s excess as the band surround themselves with more scantily clad beautiful women (it's ironic I'm sure) and cardboard cutouts of famous friends and general icons. Striking shades of pink are to be found throughout. It's a weird one to say the least.

Foals - Give It All

Foals - New Single

Give It All

Foals released Give It All as a single today (12/10), the latest off their album What Went Down which came out beginning of September.

Slow and powerful, Give It All gradually builds to a grand crescendo at the end, in a style not unlike previous single Late Night off 2013's Holy Fire. The song features Yannis Philippakis' raw vocals in a more tamed manner than other songs off the album, but still delivering an excellent performance. Instrumentation is minimal at the beginning of the song, adding to the final impact of the ending.

The video was directed by NABIL, who also directed Foals' videos for Bad Habit and Late Night, as well as music videos for other artists including Arctic Monkeys, Alt J and Kanye West.

Peace - Perfect Skin

Peace - New Single

Perfect Skin

Peace have released a music video for their latest single, Perfect Skin.

Featured on their album Happy People, released earlier this year, the song is a catchy piece of indie pop with lyrics describing dissatisfaction in one's appearance. Drenched in angst and one of the album's undoubted highlights, it was only a matter of time before it was released as a single.

The video itself involves couch bouncing, a wind machine and a rather gaudy purple tracksuit. Like Peace themselves, it's kind of cheesy, but you love it all the more for it. Viva la angst.

Bloc Party - New Single

Bloc Party - The Love Within

Bloc Party return with a new single and new line-up

Last night (5th October) Bloc Party released their first new music in three years, single 'The Love Within'. With a whole new line up behind lead singer Kele Okereke, this is pretty evident in the sound of the new song.
A fairly uplifting chorus, lyrically one can't help but be reminded of their 2007 single 'The Prayer' by opening lines "Lord, give me grace and dancing feet". Key changes galore, the song is almost reminicinet of Kele's solo work.
A departure from Bloc Party's previous sound, the electronic influence is more prominent than ever. The jury is still out on what to make of their new direction.

Bloc Party's as of yet untitled fifth album is expected to be out in early 2016.
