Spectre - Radiohead

Spectre - Radiohead

Radiohead were originally asked to record the theme song for this year's James Bond film, Spectre. They were passed over in favour of Sam Smith, but now the song is up online for all to hear.

Radiohead's first release since 2011's The King of Limbs, the song is haunting, showcasing Thom Yorke's ever ethereal vocals. A gentle piano based piece with an epic feel, the song is the ultimate Christmas present for any Radiohead fan, and hopefully points in the direction Radiohead will be heading in with their next album.

Listen to it below.

Loose Tapestries - Can't Wait For Christmas

Loose Tapestries - Can't Wait For Christmas

ft Idris Elba

Loose Tapestries have made a reappearance just in time for a Christmas tune, which is every bit as surreal as you'd expect from a collaboration between Mighty Boosh's Noel Fielding and Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno.

To sum up Can't Wait For Christmas, it's somewhat like a bizarre, psychedelic mistletoe nightmare. In the opening verse, there's much reference to Christmas stereotypes, before getting downright weird, as one can imagine from the co-creator of beings such as Old Gregg.

Working hard on your body on your new exercise bike, snowball fights with local hard men, rubbing through soot in a naked frenzy, and that's all before Idris Elba joins in with his verse on various undergarments.

Utterly confusing and wonderful, but what else would you expect from Loose Tapestries? A must listen this Christmas season.

TLSP - New Album Announcement

The Last Shadow Puppets - New Album Announcement

TLSP, circa 2008

Seven years on from the release of their debut album, Miles Kane and Alex Turner's collaborative effort The Last Shadow Puppets have finally made an official announcement regarding new material.

Whilst it had already been all but confirmed by the album's producer, James Ford, earlier this year, the teaser video (below) leaves no doubt that an album has finally come to fruition.

A bizarre, technicolour nightmare, the teaser promises to maintain The Last Shadow Puppets retro 60s vibe, but with a decidedly more American feel, much like Alex Turner's own Arctic Monkeys went for a few years back. Will it live up to the standard set by The Age of the Understatement? Only Spring 2016 will tell.

You're My Waterloo - The Libertines

The Libertines - You're My Waterloo

Music Video

A video has been put to once a rarity 'You're My Waterloo', after a revisited version of it was released on The Libertines' most recent album, 'Anthems For A Doomed Youth'. Tears ensued.

Telling a black and white love story, the video looks like a (better quality) musiic video straight out of early 00s British indie music. Full of quick cuts, shaky camera shots, suicide references, fights and making up, it's a suitable video for an ode to seemingly doomed love.

Any self-respecting Libertines fan has to (and probably already has) checked out the video, but if not, you can find it below:
