We are thrilled to announce that we have signed New York-based duo Sleigh Bells and will release their new album, Bitter Rivals, on 7th October 2013, working with Mom + Pop.  Bitter Rivals will be the band’s third album, and, following their 2010 debut, Treats, and 2012 album Reign Of Terror, it is surely their best yet.

The 10 song album, which has been produced by guitarist, Derek Miller, mixed by Andrew Dawson (Kanye West) and written by Miller and singer Alexis Krauss, finds the band showing their established and unique aesthetic as strongly as ever, whilst clearly continuing to create an ever more relevant and excitingly badass form of pop music.

The video for the album’s title track and first single, Bitter Rivals, is now available to watch below and via the band’s Website bitterrivals.us. As another example of their distinctive vision it was directed by the band themselves, and made in conjunction with The Creators Project.

The album is available to pre-order now and the single will be available to buy digitally from midnight tonight.

Caged Animals’ album In The Land Of Giants is released today! Please go here to read a fantastic Track-by-Track commentary from Vincent Cacchione.

“….has the bounce of OMD, the pop-funk of Prince, the silliness of Cyndi Lauper. Caged Animals are a band who want to be your friends” The Sunday Times.

In The Land Of Giants is available to order from the following retailers:

iTunes | Rough Trade | Amazon | Record Store

“…essentially Jarvis Cocker in Burial’s body, or Drake if he came from the Midlands not Ontario.” The Guardian

Ahead of the release of FTSE II EP, FTSE (pronounced ‘footsie’) shares new track ‘Lost In Translation’, as premiered on FADER.

‘Lost In Translation’ is exceptional in every way. A simple arpeggio fades up, like the solar energy of daybreak, and featured co-vocalist, Femme, emits an angelic coo like cotton wool before a penetrating break of snares cracks through the ether and an equally engaging baritone propels the post-club narrative. “Never again, until next weekend. I just gotta get some sleep and I’ll be fine” the key message that alternates, always hopefully, between remorse and revelation.

Having made his live debut supporting AlunaGeorge in London in June, FTSE returns to headline Corsica Studios on the 25th of September. Details and tickets : HERE

We are delighted to present to you the video for Caged Animals ‘Too Much Dark’, directed by Tobias Stretch.

Stretch leads us through a series of mirrored events via an unlikely friendship struck between a disfigured old-man and a little boy. It’s an abstract journey, which strikes a powerfully emotional chord with the song’s existential themes.

While both characters appear to lead lives without companionship, they find solace in each other, as they explore their shared Philadelphia neighbourhood. Plagued by the same anguish, it’s easy for this pair to empathize and enjoy each other’s company: chased from scene to scene by a glowing green jellyfish, their affinity for one another grows, as they learn to understand what the jellyfish has come for.

‘Too Much Dark’ is the opening track from the forthcoming album ‘In The Land Of Giants’, to be released September 2nd.
