Third Man Records is proud to present the latest single by the label’s absolute favorite producer/ singer / rock n roller from New Zealand by way of the UK: Willy Moon.
21-year-old Kiwi Willy writes, records and produces everything on his own and keeps things short. Nothing grazes the three minute mark. Inspired equally by love of the physical energy of Cab Calloway, the brevity of The Ramones, and the style of film noir, Willy doesn’t blend different sounds so much as smash them together–as if rock ‘n’ roll was deep-frozen in 1965, and abruptly reanimated 45 years later by a laptop hip hop producer.
On August 20th (and available for pre-order now) Third Man Records releases the 7″ single and digital download of Willy Moon’s “Railroad Track” b/w “Bang Bang.” Both songs ring out as Big Bang size collisions of R&B (new and old), Gospel, and Doo Wop suavicity making this single one of the most exciting things the crew at Third Man has heard this year.
Check out the Michael Carter directed video filmed on location in Nashville TN for “Railroad Track” here and then pre-order the 7″ here.

“lean, confident, sleekly retro… It’s recession-era pop, husbanding its most valued resources and worrying, tunefully, about the way ahead.”–Jon Pareles, The New York Times
Currently in the midst of a world-spanning jaunt including festival stops at Japan’s Fuji Rock, Australia’s Splendour In The Grass, and Outside Lands in San Francisco, Electric Guest has confirmed its return to headliner status for a series of U.S. dates this fall.
The newly confirmed headline shows begin October 16 at the Black Cat in Washington DC and conclude November 4 at the El Rey Theater in the band’s homebase of Los Angeles, with stops in New York City’s Irving Plaza, Chicago’s Lincoln Hall, and more.
The announcement of Electric Guest‘s fall tour comes as “This Head I Hold,” the smash single from the band’s debut album Mondo (Downtown), is surpassing the 100,000 sales mark–and still continuing to climb radio charts for 16 weeks and counting–not to mention having being performed on The Late Show with David Letterman, featured on HBO’s Girls and HBO GO spots, Grey’s Anatomy, MTV and more.
Electric Guest is comprised of Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton plus a supporting cast of live band members. The band began in earnest when Asa’s brother introduced him via phone to Danger Mouse, sparking a musical relationship that developed organically into Danger Mouse producing the 10 songs that were unveiled to the world this April as Mondo. Since then Electric Guest has toured relentlessly, been hailed by MTV as an Artist to Watch and nominated for an MTVu Woodie, and had its praises sung by ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (“Winking falsetto and retro swagger… the best new micro-genre of the season”), FILTER (“infectious”), NYLON (“for a quick Friday night pump-up… turn up the volume”), TIME OUT NEW YORK (“exquisitely catchy retropop. The band is quickly moving toward mainstream status… catch them while you can”), BLACKBOOK (“it’s rare that you come across an unknown band with such raw, unbridled talent and well-constructed songs… you’ll understand that this may be the beginning of something truly great”), MTV BUZZWORTHY (“Electric Guest stormed out of L.A. this year with a sound that’s both Motown classic and electro fresh on their debut album… Clear off your desk, you’re going to need some room to move.”) and scores more.

FIRST FOOTAGE FROM DAVE GROHL-DIRECTED DOC LIVE NOW AT www.soundcitymovie.com
Dave Grohl has unveiled a new glimpse of SOUND CITY, his forthcoming debut as a feature documentary director/producer. The approximately 60 seconds of footage, which can be seen at www.soundcitymovie.com, features the likes of Tom Petty, John Fogerty, Butch Vig, Mick Fleetwood, Trent Reznor and Grammy winning producer Jim Scott reminiscing and extolling the virtues of the Van Nuys CA studio and its Neve 8028 recording console on which so many legends captured the magic of their most classic albums.
Grohl was inspired to create SOUND CITY the film after purchasing that same recording console last year as Sound City announced its closing. Built in 1972, it is considered online casino by many to be the crown jewel of analog recording equipment, having recorded such artists as Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Guns and Roses, Nirvana, Cheap Trick, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Fear and countless other musical legends over the past 40 years.
Grohl”s personal connection to Sound City dates back over 20 years, to the 1991 recording of Nirvana”s breakthrough album, Nevermind. Selling over 30 million copies worldwide, Nevermind not only changed the entire modern musical landscape, but also forever altered the course of Grohl”s life.
Roswell Films, a division of Grohl”s Roswell Records label, will distribute the film. Key personnel involved with the film include Producer/Director Grohl; Editor Paul Crowder (Dogtown & Z Boys, Once In a Lifetime, Riding Giants); and Mark Monroe, writer of the Oscar-winning doc The Cove, as well as Once In a Lifetime and The Tillman Story. The film is also being produced in conjunction with Jim Rota, John Ramsay, and Therapy studios.
Grohl”s personal letter outlining his vision for the film as well as further information and future announcements related to the film can be found at www.soundcitymovie.com
Laura Bettinson, Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker
Debut Album Out October 2 On Temporary Residence Limited
Ultraísta–the multimedia trio comprised of vocalist/artist Laura Bettinson and multi-instrumentalist/producers Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker–will see the U.S. release of its self-titled debut album October 2 on Temporary Residence Limited.
Founded in London in 2011 on a mutual love of Afrobeat, electronic and dance music, visual art, and tequila, Ultraísta has created 10 tracks of exquisitely crafted electronic kraut-pop for this phenomenal first outing.
Favoring mantras over traditional choruses and distilling their compositions to the barest essentials, the band possesses the kind of masterful control over the pure anatomy of a pop song that only comes from having played a significant role in online casinos redefining the form in the 21st century.
Evidence of the above has already leaked in the form of the tracks “Smalltalk” and “Static Light,” which can be heard and seen variously at http://www.ultraista.com, http://www.youtube.com/user/UltraistaTV, http://soundcloud.com/ultra1sta/and www.facebook.com/Ultraista/, among other places.
The full track listing for Ultraísta is:
1. Bad Insect
2. Gold Dayzz
3. Static Light
4. Strange Formula
5. Our Song
6. Easier
7. Smalltalk
8. Party Line
9. Wash It Over
10. You”re Out
Stay tuned for further information regarding live dates, remixes and more.
