Chvrches - Now Is The Time

Premiere from RSD release, Recover EP

I tried to post this fantastic track when the Recover EP when it first leaked some weeks back only to have it pulled by the label.  Coast should be clear now that’s been officially out, with the RSD vinyl release no less.  The Recover EP is the second vinyl release from Chvrches, following the epic Mother We Share 10” that’s been garnering $75-$150 on ebay.  Seems these guys are the biggest hit of 2013, and with good reason.  Be prepared to shell out $50-$70 for a copy of the Recover EP vinyl if you’re serious.  Its Ltd to only 500 copies on translucent orange vinyl, so with that few copies it’s gonna keep the price up beyond jus being a RSD release.  I think this was the jewel of Record Store Day 2013, and honestly its a shame that it was a UK only release, and pressed in such a short number considering their popularity right now.  Seriously people are scalping concert tickets on ebay for $100 to sold out shows.  I didn’t make the recent NYC one, but a friend of mine went and said it was the most hipstery event he’d ever witnessed.  That I don’t doubt, but regardless of the hype, I don’t think its overblown at all.  Let’s hope these guys can keep up songs this catchy for a full length.      

Best Coast - Fear Of My Identity

Record Store Day Exclusive Premiere 

Another record store day come and gone, another afternoon of buying over priced ebay records that vultures bought up just to resell.  There’s no way around it, and I’m thankful that at least I got most of the records I wanted at “reasonable” prices.  Sure i’ll pay $15 for the new Best Coast 7”.  It was probably $8-10 in store right? The only one I got raped on was the Chvrches Recover EP.  It was a UK only release, Ltd to 500 copies on clear orange vinyl, so it was pretty rare as far as RSD releases go…

Also was very excited to see a Ltd to 300 7” from Stealing Sheep.  It was the one record I almost missed, another UK only releases.  If you haven’t checked them out yet, Into The Diamond Sun was one of my favorite releases of 2012 and continues to be on constant rotation.

My RSD purchases ranked:

1. Chvrches - Recover EP 12”

2. The Casket Girls - s/t EP

3. Stealing Sheep - A Real Clown 7”

4. Best Coast - Fear of My Identity 7”

5. Cut Copy - Bright Like Neon Love 12”

6. Sonny and the Sunsets - Imagine 7”

I’ll be posting more RSD tracks for prob the rest of the week as I get them in.

CHVRCHES live at SXSW.

Also check out live tracks from Fear of Men and Austrta.

Basically all bands I wish I’d seen playing the Hype Hotel during SXSW. Many more sets filmed from Baeble here

CHVRCHES - Recover

image

Glasgow’s CHVRCHES don’t disappoint with their second epic single, taken from the band’s new Recover EP, out in March.  Seeing as the The Knife’s new LP won’t have Heartbeats pt. II on it, CHVRCHES will just have to fill in, and quite nicely at that.  Their 10” was the best investment made last year.

CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share

Insanely catchy & upbeat single from CHVRCHES will be available on Ltd 10” vinyl, and is finally up for pre-order this week.  Imagine a reincarnation of The Knife, that doesn’t sound cheap, and follows all the right cues.

I hope I hope I hope (fingers crossed) that the eventual full length is as good as this single.     

CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share 10” is Ltd to 300 copies and looks to be going quick.  When I tried to order it I got an error message that it was either sold out or something…then it worked 30min later.  For the moment you can still pre-order from National Anthem here
