Lucky Number Music

Ahead of his first ever visit outside of the US this November, which includes an already sold-out headline show at London’s Sebright Arms, the anticipation for Philadelphia native Alex G’s gritty and lo-fi-tinged music has been building.

After meeting each other this March to concoct beats, FTSE and Jakwob instead birthed something much more ballistic than they could have expected. 6 weeks later, they were announcing details of their face melting debut AA single ‘PARTY/DRUGS’, and performing at two packed out ‘word of mouth’ gigs at The Great Escape.

Now we are thrilled to share their second single ‘FIGHT’.  Instantly in-yer-face and totally innovative, ‘Fight’ perfectly expresses the bipolarity of the schoolyard scuffle. Lyrical non-sequiturs are sequenced into constantly catchy choruses atop a rhythmic collage of cross-genre sounds equally relevant to electro, hip-hop or hardcore. This could only be Get Hot and perfectly illustrates just why they have now been signed for North America by Last Gang Entertainment (Death From Above 1979, Crystal Castles, Ryan Hemsworth, Purity Ring).

‘Fight’ is available to download/stream from today.  Get Hot will be performing at Queen of Hoxton, London on Wednesday 12th November.

In their latest video, Deers indulge in a little bit of role-play, as they elaborate further; “Tim, Mark, Brendon and Cole playing ‘Castigadas En El Granero’ from Deers. The song belongs to a single called BARN, the video was directed by Alex Delucas and the left hand of Carleone Films and it was shot by Alex and Jorge Leon.”

Donning workers’ overalls and undoubtedly thrift-shop-found stitched name-tags, there’s an Americana feel to the proceedings, as the band run through a typically energetic performance that belies their lo-fi charm.

Catch Deers Live in the UK soon, here:
01/11/14 London, The Laundry (DIY All Dayer)

Jake Bullit today stream the latest song from their acclaimed ‘Pain Killer’ EP, entitled ‘Pushing Buttons’, which is out now. The EP’s title track has also been made Record of the Week on Huw Stephens‘ Radio 1 show.

A euphoric and escapist take on 9-5 drudgery, ‘Pushing Buttons’ feels inspired by the disco and boogie grooves of Chromeo, the idiosyncratic British pop of Hot Chip, and the everyday urban lyricism of Blur circa ‘Girls & Boys’. It’s a deft and dancefloor-friendly mix, marrying the boys’ upbringing in Birmingham’s DJ’ing scene with the songwriting efficiency of a band who’ve already won an impassioned live following.  Enjoy!

“About the grimmer side of life, not withstanding disco-ball shimmer” Guardian
“Jake Bullit seem to present a world of possibility…each track brims with pop potential” Clash 
“Chromeo-esque synth sounds and disco beats” The 405
“If this track doesn’t make you move, there’s no hope.” Indie Shuffle

Alex G has today premiered his video for ‘Hollow’, the first full single to be lifted from the forthcoming new album DSU, with Noisey.

Directed by John Vizzone, a fellow Philadelphian, the video’s crafted visuals match the song’s moody and pensive atmospherics, finding the eponymous singer shrouded in darkness, except for the glow of a flickering TV screen. Putting a face to the name in Giannascoli’s case belies his youth and, in effect, the wise-beyond-his-years nature and lyricism that makes his songwriting so captivating.

“The new name to drop in alt-rock circles” The Guardian
