On The Horizon : Chew Lips – Do You Chew?

Chew Lips are set to return this summer with the release of their second album sometime in September.

The first taster from the album is a very listenable slice of sleazy pop, called ‘Do You Chew?’ Personally, I swallow. (But that’s another story..)

In other Chew Lips-related news, they did a nice little mixtape a while ago. According to singer Tigs Mini Mix Vol.1 is “an amalgamation of tracks listened to whilst in the studio”. If that’s an indication of what the album is going to sound like, then we’re all in for a real treat – Prince, Beck‘s ‘Get Real Paid’ and M.I.A‘s ‘Bad Girls’ feature.

Incoming : Van She – Idea Of Happiness

Van She is finally back with some new music, after being away for too long.

The first cut to be released is also the title track of their forthcoming sophomore album, Idea Of Happiness.

According to their label, the track was recorded, engineered and produced by the band themselves in Kings Cross, Sydney and mixed in Los Angeles with Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Phoenix and M83).

Really loving their new sound. Reminds me of early Cut Copy.

Listen : Feist – How Come You Never Go There (Beck Remix)

For those of you dying for some new music from Beck, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be getting anything anytime soon – with him being so busy producing and remixing other artists…

I have been really enjoying the latest Charlotte Gainsbourg the past week and now we have been blessed with another treat from Beck. 

This time round though, he’s wearing his remix fedora. Check out his little revamp of Feist‘s How Come You Never Go There. Nothing too terribly exciting, but definitely a little nicer than the original.

Paradisco is the latest Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck collaboration to emerge. It will feature on Stage Whispers, a double-LP of live and unreleased material due out in a few weeks. The track was written and produced by Beck.

Give it a listen below.
