We’re thrilled to present to you the video for Caged Animals’ forthcoming single ‘Cindy+Me’, directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada. The single will be released on June 17, ahead of a new album later this year.

Shot in the analogue style of an 80s vintage Corporate film, the basic concept of the video is simple: (Caged) Animal Testing but with a whimsical and absurd twist.

We proudly present FTSE, aka the Midlands’ Sam Manville.

On his debut ‘FTSE 1’ EP, which we will release on July 1st, Sam effortlessly shifts gears and pushes genre boundaries, playing and writing everything himself, but still finding time to write the most incredible sing-a-long pop hooks with exceptionally honest and poignant lyrics.

Lead EP track ‘Tidal Wave’ was premiered today on The FADER and features Saint Saviour as co-vocalist, sensual and sensitive as never before,  “everybody’s got something hidden, spendin’ all my time just to keep a lid on”.

One Man, one MPC, one cracked version of Logic and one blurred vision and as FTSE so succinctly puts it on ‘Tidal Wave’, “move over, I’m feelin’, I’m stealin’, the moment”.

FTSE will make his debut live performance opening for AlunaGeorge at The Electric Brixton on June 20th.

We’re thrilled to announce that Caged Animals, aka Vincent Cacchione, is back with ‘Cindy+Me’, which premiered today on Stereogum. The single will be released on June 17, ahead of a new album later this year.

Caged Animals charmed critics on both sides of the Atlantic with the swoon-some pop of debut album ‘Eat Their Own’ – receiving accolades from the likes of The Guardian, Nylon and NME. Following last year’s ‘This Summer’ EP, the prodigiously talented Cacchione has offered the first taste of his second album in ‘Cindy + Me’. Written and produced by Vin in his home studio, it’s an immediate step forward: a modern day “Bonnie & Clyde,” with intricate electronics, a low-slung groove, and Caged Animals’ effortless way with a pop melody suggesting an affinity with the likes of Tom Tom Club.

In Vin’s words:

“’Cindy + Me’ is my attempt at capturing some sinister version of the adolescent dream. It’s an outlaw love song, based around a sample from synthesizer-pioneer Raymond Scott’s “Cindy Electronium.”

In the song, I’m a crazed teenager in love, running away from home with the girl and some twisted view of the future. We’ve got her father tied up in the house, a smoldering corpse, we’ve got the cash, “We’re living on top of the world,” and we’re going to get away with it.”

Further strengthening the romantic vision that seeds through all of Caged Animals’ musical imaginings ‘Cindy+Me’ is the first single from the forthcoming sophomore album.

Like Deez himself, Kitsune’s Is Tropical are known for blurring the boundaries between band and beat culture. Here they mix slo-mo house, classic Shep Pettibone style vocal-pitching techniques and a few mad keyboards with an emphasis on adding a quirky ‘hands in the air’ euphoric quality to Darwin’s anthemic song. It’s like an itch that you happily want to scratch and jump about to.

As featured on the forthcoming single, along with the amazing Cid Rim remix, to be released 8th April 2013.

We are excited to announce that Lucky Number will be representing at SXSW once again. In the thick of their epic joint twenty eight date North American tour, Darwin Deez and Caged Animals will be playing:-
