PLS PLS storm the Star Bar in Atlanta, GA tonight for a free show to celebrate the release of their debut, EP EP on Tampa indie label 24 Hour Service Station, which features a bluesy David Bowie cum Mick Jagger inspired dude-ette featuring Elijah Jones of Southern Gothic stompers The Constellations.

PLS PLS (pronounced Please Please) conjure heady electronic-laced future rock anthems. Singer, songwriter & instrumentalist Dan Dixon’s self-produced debut, EP EP, spans musical styles from the 60’s Wall of Sound to 70's Rock to 80's Dance to Future Pop. The lulling hypnotic shuffle of "River Song" summons tribal ghosts downstream where they revive via the immigrant song of the wild “Here Come The Wolves.”

Four songs from PLS PLS are featured in Magnolia Pictures' horror sensation V/H/S, in theaters Friday October 5th and called by Rolling Stone "...the scariest, rawest horror movie of the year.”

Fritz von Runte has been producing remixes for more than a decade. Lately though, he's been focusing in a different kind of remix, de-constructing and reworking the tracks as he would have produced them. They are called Redesigns and this is their compilation.

From the Manchester supergroup Freebass to the very obscure Vicious Pink, Fritz manage to work with most of his favourite artists. New Order, The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, 808 State and Renegade Soundwave are all on von Runte's personal collection as well as on this record.

Brooklyn Rider - Seven Steps - NPR First Listen and WNYC Live Performance Clip

First Listen: Brooklyn Rider, 'Seven Steps'

As a string quartet, the excellent Brooklyn Rider is all about the number four. But on their new album, Seven Steps (out Feb. 21), its members circle around the mysterious — and some might even say spiritual — power of the hebdomad. The Bible is full of sevens, from the story of creation in Genesis to Jesus' seven last words on the cross; Muslims make seven circumambulations around the holy Kaaba; Buddha is said to have walked seven steps at his birth; and (in no less Holy Writ for musicians) Beethoven composed his massive and mystical String Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131, in seven movements.

Download the title track, “Seven Steps” from Brooklyn Rider's forthcoming album above and watch their 2010 Soundcheck performance.

Preview the entire album on NPR's First Listen

Toronto Examiner - Peter Hook The Light Featuring Rowetta 1102 2011 is a must have

The Light Featuring Rowetta – 1102/2011 is a 10-track EP highlighting four great Joy Division songs.  The repeat, yet vastly unique recordings of “Atmosphere”, “Pictures In My Mind”, “New Dawn Fades” and “Insight” are beautifully mastered and lush.  Rowetta’s jazz-singer style injects new life into these classics (be sure to check out the A Capella versions of “Atmosphere” that end off the disc), and is a grand yet not unwelcome departure from Ian Curtis’ dark and moody vocals.

For the Joy Division completist, The Light Featuring Rowetta – 1102/2011 is a must-have.
