Apollo Up! releases "Walking The Plank"

It’s been ten years since Nashville’s Apollo Up! released the post hardcore blowout Chariots Of Fire and that amount of time felt right for Yewknee Records to announce that the album will be getting a special vinyl release to commemorate.  Featuring a sparkling new mastering job by John Baldwin (Public Image Ltd, Jesus Lizard), the lead single and album opener “Walking The Plank”, sounds as angry and vital as it did a decade ago.

You can do that half tuck thing that says, “I’m fun but I’m also business”, or let it fall. It doesn’t matter how you wear it because it’ll look great.

Theophilus London collabs with Ariel Pink on New Track

The new Theophilus London/Ariel Pink track “Revenge” just dropped via Fools Gold and has immediately made the world seem a little bit brighter. All bop and bounce and filled with one of the hookiest vocal melodies that I’ve heard recently, “Revenge” capitalizes on the strengths of both of its notorious collaborators.

This science fiction movie was elegant, with striking effects and was surprisingly inspiring, which is something quite odd for this particular genre.
