PHILIP SELWAY: WEATHERHOUSE

06/24/2014 nastysite

SECOND SOLO LP OUT OCT. 7 IN THE U.S. ON BELLA UNION

LEAD TRACK “COMING UP FOR AIR” STREAMING HERE

Philip Selway © Deirdre O'Callaghan (LOW RES) — Philip Selway © Deirdre O’Callaghan (LOW RES)

Four years after the unexpected and exquisite treat that was Philip Selway’s debut album Familial, the man formerly known only as the drummer of Radiohead returns with his sophomore record, Weatherhouse. At ten tracks and 38 minutes, the album is as concise in shape as it is expansive in mood and assured in execution, mining a generally darker, fuller sound than its gentler, more acoustic-based predecessor and reflecting the band-centered nature of its construction and its creator’s growth in confidence.

Weatherhouse was made in collaboration with Adem Ilhan and Quinta; artists in their own right who had previously performed in Philip’s backing band. “From the outset,” Selway recalls, “we wanted the album to be the three of us, and we covered a lot of instruments between us. With a studio full of inspiring gear and a great-sounding desk, we felt like a band. Different musicians stretch you, and I felt stretched on Weatherhouse, but very enjoyably so.” Working mostly out of Radiohead’s studio in Oxfordshire, Adem also produced and engineered Weatherhouse, while Quinta played an equally integral role in the arrangements. The album was mixed by David Wrench.

Album opener “Coming Up For Air” sets the scene with its brooding, spectral mood, mantra-like pattern and Selway’s simmering, reverb-drenched vocal exploring the album’s dominant theme. “It’s very much about taking stock of my life. I wanted to convey a sense of release and affirmation,” he says. “This was the first song that we recorded. Immediately it felt in a very different space from Familial.” Click HERE to listen to the track.

The album’s talismanic qualities explore a world of hope and plans, connection and disconnection -between family, friends and self – and dreams and fears: “I love records that you can almost live in, where the songs become talismans that you take to heart. That’s what I was trying to create in Weatherhouse.” With its emotional frankness, haunting melodies and gripping tension, Selway has made a great artistic leap and created something that even the most experienced singer-songwriters would be proud of.

This weekend, Philip, Adem and Quinta begin a run of shows with Rambert Dance Company at their Southbank home. They perform a specially commissioned score for a series of Merce Cunningham ‘Events’, set against the backdrop of Gerhard Richter’s “Cage” paintings.

JACK WHITE: LAZARETTO DEBUTS AT #1

06/18/2014 nastysite

LAZARETTO ULTRA LP BREAKS ALL-TIME VINYL SOUNDSCAN RECORDS

“Easily the best rock album so far this year”-LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Highly-charged, wonderfully weird and typically eclectic treasure chest of tunes that rank with his best.”-USA TODAY

“He is just that much better than everybody else.”-LA WEEKLY

“Our six-string savior not only makes his guitar do things that will have you forgetting that Page and Plant are never to take to a stage together again; he is also keen to remind us in just whose hands now rests that Hammer of the Gods.”-FILTER

In the wake of overwhelmingly positive reviews, must-see TV appearances and monumental performances everywhere from Governors Ball to Bonnaroo, Jack White has now seen his sophomore album Lazaretto (Third Man Records/Columbia) debut at #1 on the U.S. album chart.

Lazaretto is Jack’s second #1 debut in as many albums, its 137,732 first week total surpassing that of 2012’s Blunderbuss.

Additionally, the Lazaretto vinyl ULTRA LP has sold over 40,000 copies — the highest first-week vinyl sales since Soundscan began tracking sales data in 1991.

Lazaretto also debuted at #1 in Canada and Denmark.

Finally, Jack White’s world tour in support of Lazaretto continues to garner arguably the most enthusiastic rave reviews of Jack’s — or anyone’s — career, so rather than living out your days in regret, pick up tickets for a date in your town before they’re gone: http://jackwhiteiii.com/tour-dates/

SPOON, THE UNICORNS, OWEN PALLETT TO JOIN VARIOUS REFLEKTOR TOUR SHOWS

“Arcade Fire was ruthlessly efficient in supplying big-tent indie rock and mating Bruce Springsteen and The Talking Heads… the best arena-rock band to break out of the mid-aughties indie-rock bubble” -ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“From start to finish, the band transformed the Detroit Pistons” home into an arena-sized house party… It was a thorough, fully-realized outing that will be remembered as one of the best concerts of the year.” -DETROIT NEWS

“Saturday”s nearly two-hour set proved Arcade Fire might be the most arena-ready band to come out of the hip punk-weaned underground since U2.” – MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

“Even a decade ago this band”s music was made to fill arenas… Given new life with Arcade Fire”s larger touring band, each build, piano run and yell felt bigger while at the same time as intimate as it must have when kid-Butler wrote it.” – DENVER POST

“Arcade Fire still knows how to engage and entertain their fans and give them a show they won”t forget.” -KANSAS CITY STAR

“Like art-rock stars Radiohead and R.E.M. before them, Arcade online casino Fire creates a new sonic and aesthetic world every couple years. Nowhere was that more apparent than at Nashville”s enormodome Thursday night.” – NASHVILLE SCENE

Fresh off a historic two-night stand at London”s storied Earl”s Court hailed as “a triumph” (The Independent) and “breathless” (The Telegraph), Arcade Fire has begun confirming support acts for the next leg of the Reflektor Tour.

For the month of August, Arcade Fire”s transformation of the arenas and amphitheaters of North America into multi-stage barrier-shattering carnivals will enlist support from Spoon, The Unicorns, tUnE-yArDs, Constantines and AF collaborator Owen Pallett.

JACK WHITE: LAZARETTO OUT TODAY

AVAILABLE AT ITUNES, AMAZON AND THIRD MAN RECORDS

NEW DATES CONFIRMING WORLDWIDE INCLUDING FENWAY, NEWPORT FOLK, RED ROCKS & MORE

NPR FIRST LISTEN LIVE FULL CONCERT STREAMING LIVE FROM LOS ANGELES TONIGHT AT 9:45PM PST

“LAZARETTO” AND “JUST ONE DRINK” PERFORMANCES FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON HERE

“Jack White has made himself a high-concept yet wholehearted restoration of the late-1960s guitar hero: cranked up to distortion, hollering straight from the swamp, hurling riffs like thunderbolts” — THE NEW YORK TIMES

“White’s set was marked by a series of dramatic stops and starts, with the band exceptionally tight in their movements, giving off the impression White must have found the best of the business in Nashville.” — BILLBOARD

“White’s best songs combine his songwriting chops with his boundless charisma, and Lazaretto has both in spades — the swaggeringly funky ‘Three Women’ and the strutting title track are instant classics.” — ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“Frankly, I don’t know how much is left to say about this man. He’s a master of craft and performance like few others, especially in the modern age.” — CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

The day has finally arrived: Jack White’s new studio album, Lazaretto, is out today in North America on Third Man Records/Columbia. The weeks-long tease of advance tracks from the haunting instrumental “High Ball Stepper,” the intoxicating “Just One Drink” and the searing rave-up title track has mercifully come to an end, with the album now fully available digitally at

iTunes and Amazon. For the physical-format-predisposed, brick and mortar retailers will carry Lazaretto compact discs (also available via Amazon) and ULTRA LP vinyl, which can also be acquired through Third Man Records.

Jack has announced yet another slew of dates on his barely begun, yet already wildly acclaimed, world tour. These new dates include several UK engagements as well as a host of performances in the United States at historic venues ranging from The Newport Folk Festival to The Bleacher Theater at Boston’s famed Fenway Park to Colorado’s breathtaking Red Rocks Amphitheater. Fans are encouraged to consult http://jackwhiteiii.com/tour-dates/ for details and on sale information. These newly announced shows can be found below along with previously unveiled tour stops.

Tonight, NPR Music will provide a video webcast of Jack’s set at the storied Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, CA. All pertinent information can be found here. Tune into NPR tonight at 9:45pm PST for what promises to be raucously entertaining celebration of Lazaretto‘s release.

Last night, Jack was featured as a musical and talk guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During his time on the Tonight Show stage, Jack peeled the paint off the walls of the Tonight Show studios with two songs from Lazaretto including the title track and “Just One Drink”.

SPOON RETURNS WITH THEY WANT MY SOUL

06/10/2014 nastysite

NEW ALBUM OUT AUGUST 5 ON LOMA VISTA

“RENT I PAY” VIDEO UP NOW AT YouTube

PRE-SALE LIVE NOW AT iTUNES and AMAZON

“… after what became Spoon’s longest break, the band members were reinvigorated and excited to play together again. They rediscovered an energy, passion and inspired sound, and you can hear that on They Want My Soul.”-NPR All Songs Considered

Spoon will return with their long awaited eighth offering, They Want My Soul, on August 5 via Loma Vista Recordings.

Preorders for the album-lauded by NPR as “unmistakably a Spoon record, with…fantastically infectious grooves and melodies” — are live now at iTunes and Amazon. An exclusive bundle will be available later this week through the band’s store (at www.spoontheband.com) which features, among other desirous items, a limited edition glow-in-the-dark vinyl LP, a t-shirt and handwritten lyric sheets. The first 100 bundle orders will receive an autographed set of lyric sheets. All preorders placed through iTunes and www.spoontheband.com come with an instant download of the album’s lead-off track “Rent I Pay.”

The band has also filmed an unofficial video for They Want My Soul’s “Rent I Pay.” This initial visual offering can be viewed at YouTube.

Britt Daniel and Jim Eno recently talked with Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton for NPR’s All Songs Considered about the recording process behind the record and its sonic elements. The All Songs Considered segment is currently streaming here.

Yesterday afternoon Spoon took to the stage at New York City’s Le Poisson Rouge for a live world premiere performance of “Rent I Pay” for NPR’s First Listen Live. The punchy swagger of “Rent I Pay” in its live unveiling was met with a wildly enthusiastic reception from the privileged few to make it into the intimate venue. For everyone who couldn’t, the performance is streaming now on NPR.

Last weekend, Spoon kicked off a North American festival tour at the Governors Ball festival in New York City. This tour will include appearances at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and the Austin City Limits Music Festival among a host of others. Additionally, the band will headline the special event “They Want My Soul” on the Fairbanks Lawn at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles on August 8.

PAUL McCARTNEY JUNE DATES RE-SCHEDULED TO OCTOBER

06/09/2014 nastysite

OUT THERE TOUR TO RESUME JULY 5 IN ALBANY

“I’m sorry but it’s going to be a few more weeks before we get rocking in America again. I’m feeling great but taking my docs’ advice to take it easy for just a few more days. Look forward to seeing you all soon.”-Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney has confirmed that he will, however reluctantly, heed medical advice to rest up just a bit longer to fully recuperate from the virus that forced the postponement of his recent dates in Japan and Korea.

The Out There world tour will now resume July 5 in Albany, NY, and the June 14-26 shows in Lubbock, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Nashville and Louisville have been rescheduled to October. Tickets for the original June dates will been honored for the new dates detailed below.

The Out There tour, as always, features music from the most beloved catalog in popular music, as Paul performs songs spanning his entire career — as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle. The set list will also include material from Paul’s most recent studio album NEW, a global hit upon its release last year.

The McCartney live experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity; in just three hours some of the greatest moments from the last 50 years of music are relived; music which for many has shaped the very soundtrack of their lives. The last decade has seen Paul and his band perform in a staggeringly impressive range of venues and locations, including outside the Coliseum in Rome, in Moscow’s Red Square, Buckingham Palace, at the White House, a free show in Mexico to over 400,000 people, and even broadcast live into Space! Featuring Paul’s band of the last 10+ years — Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) — the show never disappoints.

The tour also uses state of the art technology and production to ensure the entire audience has the best possible experience. With massive screens, lasers, fireworks, unique video content and, of course, the best songs in the world, a Paul McCartney show is so much more than just an ordinary concert. Paul’s shows attract a multi generational audience from different backgrounds all brought together by his music.

This 45 RPM record comes in a gorgeous sleeve which nicely complements and continues the visual artwork theme started with the Blunderbuss series of singles. Pre-order the 7″ single now. Shipping and official on-sale beginsJune 9.

Jack is also excited to be returning to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after appearing alongside Neil Young a few weeks ago.
