Bedroom-electronica with an urban-folk slant, this Leeds lot borrow liberally from those Swedish masters of icy dance landcapes, The Knife. And I thought Knife crime was on the wane. Still, when they're this good at impersonations, who can blame them? Perfect winter listening.

You Say Party We Say Die Unveil New Video
Tweet
British Columbia dance-punk types You Say Party We Say Die have debuted the new video for forthcoming single 'Lonely's Lunch'.
Shot in Mumbai, the vid shows bizarre gas-masked and boiler-suited baddies chasing an unfortunate victim for reasons I couldn't begin to fathom. Meanwhile the song kinda rocks.
They've also just released a new record, REMIXXXX - full of remixes, no less - and are currently touring the UK.

Listen Up! No. 66: Mark Ronson and the Business Intl. - The Night Last Night
Tweet
I hadn't planned on becoming a de facto PR chief for Ronson's ever expanding Business Intl. empire. However, faced with Record Collection - an album saturated with stylish, groove-endebted contemporary pop classics - I was forced to reconsider my role. This gorgeous collaboration with Rose Elinor Dougall is the record's highlight, her vocal oozing an elegant melancholy which adds a higher dimension to another of Ronson's fine-tuned hit factory staples.

Politics/Music #4: New New Labour and Brothers in Arms
Tweet
Go and check out the PoliticsSlashMusic column in this month's Notion Magazine for a (not very) detailed exploration of the Miliband's infighting and the death of New Labour. And then a few columns of guff about brothers in bands who liked to fight one another, like The Kinks and Oasis. You can thank me later.

The View give away free track
Tweet
Scotch indie-disco favourites The View have announced that they will be giving away a brand new song for free this Monday, 1 November.
The track, 'Sunday', will be available to download via their website, www.theviewareonfire.com. It will be featured on their as-yet-untitled new record, which is due to drop this Spring and was helmed by London producer Youth. The band will be debuting tracks from the record when they tour the UK this November and December.
Unfortunately, the new song is so exclusive that not even the usual blogging geeks over at YouTube have been able to rip a copy of it. You'll just have to wait until Monday. In the meantime enjoy '5 Rebeccas', the best cut from their last effort, 2009's Which Bitch?:
