New Portishead

Only one week until Portishead releases their much anticipated studio album next Monday on the 28th.  After a little over 10 years since their last release, this album looks as though it will be as dark and melancholy as ever.

Check out these videos taken from their appearance on Jools Holland:

Some downloads here. (My favorite thus far is “Small,” give it a listen!)

Disco Lies

Moby has a new album coming out tomorrow. I must have, if this is any indication:

Le Loup: Get ready

With comparisons to The Arcade Fire and an excellent album title (The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly), D.C.-based Le Loup is making waves in the indie rock channels.

The seven-piece outfit is currently on tour, and had they not taken the stage at the not-safe-for-work hour of 11:15 this past Wednesday, I would have been at T.T. the Bears cheering them on. I love the cacophony of instruments and the mash-up of vocals at the end of this clip:
