End Titles… Stories For Film

This summer sees the return of UNKLE, as they release ‘End Titles… Stories for Film’, a collection of eclectic recordings from UNKLE and various collaborators that were inspired by the moving image in the last two years since War Stories.

For this release, UNKLE have teamed up with Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Black Mountain, Gavin Clark, Joel Cadbury (South), James Petralli from White Denim, War Stories producer Chris Goss, Dave Bateman and James Griffith, Mike Lowry and Matt Pierce (from UNKLE’s touring band).

Highlights on this new release include ‘Heaven’ and ‘Blade in the Back’ which was featured on Spike Jonze’s skate video ‘Fully Flared’, as well as being the opening and closing tracks from ‘Odyssey in Rome’, a documentary on director Abel Ferrara which UNKLE wrote the entire score for. The release also features the highly anticipated ‘Trouble in Paradise’, a full length version of UNKLE’s track from the BMW commercial that aired in the UK.

‘End Titles… Stories for Film’ will be released on 7th July in the UK and Europe. The North America summer release date will be announced soon.

Longwave – Sirens in the Deep

Great indie rock from these boys (aka Longwave) from New York, who have a special ability of making very emotionally charged indie rock.   Reminds me at times of Death Cab for Cutie.

last.fm bio:

Since 1999, Longwave has been one of the New York City’s leading exports. After the success of Endsongs , their 2000 independent release, the band signed with RCA Records and began work with producer Dave Fridmann, known for his efforts with the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. The resulting album, The Strangest Things, led to critical raves and tours across all parts of this earth with the likes of The Strokes and The Vines. Longwave followed up on the success of The Strangest Things by entering the studio in 2004 with famed producer John Leckie, whose work with Radiohead and Pink Floyd endeared him to the critical taste of the band, and There’s a Fire was released in 2005. With a return to the studio planned for late 2007, Longwave finds itself on the list of indispensable listening for the first part of this millennium. Expect them to stay there.

Sunny Day Sets Fire – Wilderness

Fans of Crowded House and Bishop Allen will surely fall for “Sunny Day Sets Fire”, with their brand of indie psychedelic pop.

myspace bio:

Sunny Day Sets Fire have five members, hailing from four countries with three singles under their belt in the past two years; all leading up to one very anticipated debut album.

Multi-instrumentalists Mauro and Onyee met while working as ushers at a London repertoire cinema. The two shared a vision of theatre, art and music and when Mauro began writing a collection of ambitious sunshine psych songs, mutual friend Max was asked to join the group. The founding members of Sunny Day Sets Fire (the name came simply from an internet band name generator) began experimenting with every possible trick to realise the impossible task of performing music written for a small orchestra. Over the next two years, the original members released a succession of singles across Europe, the US and Australia and saw the incremental additions of Ed (bass) and Matthew (drums). Collectively hailing from Italy, Hong Kong, Sardinia, England and Canada; Sunny Day Sets Fire built a nest in East London and began working on their debut album, Summer Palace, throughout 2007.

The band will be touring throughout Europe and the US in 2008, supporting the release of Summer Palace, as well as the upcoming Stranger remix EP featuring remixes by the likes of CSS, Diplo and the Cool Kids. It’s enough to make you burn your passport and declare yourself a converted citizen of the world.
