“Our Song (Zero 7 Remix)” Premiere Live Now at
http://soundcloud.com/ultra1sta/ultraista-our-song-zero-7/s-Jsdei

A krautrock-Afrobeat stew that sounds better each time you notch up the volume.
– Rolling Stone

Set to be a cult favourite…because it contains fascinating ideas you won’t hear on most pop records.
– BBC

When Ultraísta released their eponymous debut album last fall, it quickly established a couple universal truths: 1) Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker are incredibly innovative musicians and producers whose fingerprints are embedded in their most notable collaborators (namely Atoms For Peace, Radiohead, and Beck); and 2) Laura Bettinson’s beguiling voice and mesmerizing stage presence make the impressive pedigree of this band a moot point. Her voice could stand out over virtually any sound, and nothing proves this better than an album of star-studded remixes.

Ultraísta Remixes compiles a year’s worth of remixes from friends and collaborators within the ever-expanding Ultraísta orbit. Though some of these tracks have become social media sensations in their own right – collectively clocking more than two million plays on the band’s Soundcloud and YouTube channels – Ultraísta Remixes has been perfectly sequenced to succeed as a stand-alone album (an alarmingly strong one, no less). Rarely do remix albums have this level of quality control and seemingly infinite replay value.

Whereas Ultraísta’s debut album commits to its palette with uncanny precision and devotion, Remixes explodes its individual parts and reveals the group to be equally compelling as techno powerhouse (Four Tet, FaltyDL, DC Sux), dark electro-pop (Zero 7, Zammuto, ERAAS, Canon Blue), experimental dance (Prefuse 73, Matthew Herbert), and even driving industrial rock (David Lynch in an inspired NIN-meets-YYYs turn). The combination of all of these seemingly disparate parts makes for a surprisingly cohesive whole, and a remarkable companion to the original album.

PRINCE AVALANCHE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK BY EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY & DAVID WINGO OUT AUGUST 6 ON TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LTD


Explosions In The Sky will soon be taking the live show The New Yorker has called ”one of the most ecstatic displays of loud rock I’ve ever seen” out on the bulk of Nine Inch Nails’ fall tour. The band will support NIN on 19 dates beginning September 28 in St. Paul, MN and winding down November 22 in Seattle.

Prior to embarking on the NIN excursion, Explosions In The Sky and David Wingo will release their collaborative original score to the feature film Prince Avalanche August 6 on Temporary Residence Ltd. Recorded entirely at the homes of its composers, Prince Avalanche is the perfect accompaniment to the film, which features Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch as two workers on an isolated stretch of road–shot in Texas’ Bastrop State Park, a location suggested to director and fellow Texan David Gordon Green by Explosions In The Sky’s Chris Hrasky. Prince Avalanche is out in theaters, digitally and on demand August 9.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE: …LIKE CLOCKWORK OUT TODAY

AUGUST 17 LOS ANGELES SHOW CONFIRMED

LATE SHOW JUNE 5 & 6 DOUBLEHEADER CONFIRMED

LIVE AT LETTERMAN FULL CONCERT WEBCAST 9:00 p.m. EST at http://www.cbs.com/shows/liveonletterman/

“…about a man at the border of life and death, with everything at stake, and that’s exactly how it sounds.”–THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Is there a more debonair dirtball in rock than Josh Homme? The Queens of the Stone Age <http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/queens-of-the-stone-age> frontman is the high priest of grimy rock tradition, exalting in exquisitely wrought guitar scraping and wry machismo… Yet for all his demon-steed drive, Homme’s a versatile guy – he coos as persuasively as he howls, and few can rain down metal decay with as much nuance and craft.”–ROLLING STONE

“…Like Clockwork is the soundtrack to the B movie of your dreams… Homme and his cohorts create merry hell as Lucifer’s house band.”–THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“…does everything a good rock record should — wringing new blood from classic forms and sounding absolutely sexy and a little scary while doing it…

Homme is one of the few singers and lyricists today who know that rock ‘n’ roll is built on a mix of menace and dark humor, and almost every track on …Like Clockwork has a moment that makes you want to drive to Joshua Tree, pound some beers and start fires in the shape of pentagrams.”-THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

“kicks like a mule even when it dresses like a queen.”–PITCHFORK

“Surrendering to its strange charms could be one of the smartest decisions you make this year.”–ALTERNATIVE PRESS

Hear ye hear ye, all those who still believe in rock n roll: your favorite album of 2013 is released today, June 4: Queens Of The Stone Age’s epic …Like Clockwork (Matador) is finally available for purchase today, everywhere, anytime at iTunes http://itunes.com/qotsa, Amazon http://smarturl.it/QOTSAamazon or your local Indie Store (search here http://matadorrecords.com/indie/qotsa/likeclockwork) …and it is every bit as good as the reviews say, if not more so.

Produced by Joshua Homme and QOTSA, recorded by Mark Rankin with additional engineering by Alain Johannes and Justin Smith, at Josh’s studio, Pink Duck, in Burbank, CA, …Like Clockwork is the sixth–and by critical consensus, arguably best–Queens Of The Stone Age album.

QOTSA mainman Homme and his cohorts  Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and Jon Theodore have already begun touring extensively in support of …Like Clockwork.

An August 17 headline appearance at the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles has just been added to that itinerary. Fan pre-sales for this new date begin thisWednesday, June 5 (more info available at http://facebook.com/qotsa). General on sale kicks off Friday, June 7.

Additionally,  Citi Cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning June 5 at 10 a.m. local time through Citi’s Private Pass(r) Program. For complete Citi card holder pre-sale details, visit www.citiprivatepass.com.

Prior to returning to the road, QOTSA will pull a June 5 & 6 doubleheader on The Late Show with David Letterman, to be preceded by a Live On Letterman concert webcast Wednesday, June 5 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT at http://www.cbs.com/shows/liveonletterman/.
