OK.  I remember not going to Glastonbury.  That’s it for June, though.  That and doing VAT.  Other stuff must have transpired.  We worked quite hard. On stuff.  Any takers?  SIC’s highlight, or rather, the only other thing that springs to mind was watching Paul McCartney’s entire stage explode in a burst of pyro and fireworks in Hyde Park during Live And Let Die.  It was badass, do have a click.

Ands we had such a family sized portion of fun at the first Wichiten party on Monday that not only did we not attend any of the others but we didn’t get the hangover til Wednesday.  Awesome.  Oh Caribou, we went to see them.  Completely excellent.  So pleased Dan let us use Odessa for Better Pop Music. 

I tell you what though, we are able to announce a new signing.  From Stockholm we give you NIVA.  His music is simple stunning.  Hypnotic, elegant, beautiful, electronic, human and of course really, really big tunes.  Utter class.  Have a listen to debut single Ghost In My Head.  Oh and he’s playing shows.  See below.  Not in the UK yet.  Soon though.

MEMORY TAPES were here for one pub, I mean one day, on the first leg of their world tour that took them from Finland to France.  Further dates below.   We are thinking there might be a new single from them in August.  So, you keep ‘em peeled.

AIR FRANCE are right now up in the air on their way to play at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York.  And one at the Tribeca Grand. Both on Saturday July 17^th.  Their new record is going to be a KILLER.  We have heard a bunch of it and it’s……stunning.  Really stunning.

THE SILENT LEAGUE are here next week.  Sort of.  Justin Russo is coming and will be doing songs for the new record and some new stuff.  There are four shows, dates below.  These shows are a special collaboration with MAPS and a string quartet.   Expect some lavish and unique versions of tracks from “….Caretaker” and some surprises.  Dates Below.

THE GAY BLADES are straining at the leash.  Literally.  We cannot stop playing this new record in the office.  It makes the sun shine.  For real.  These are serious anthems.  You are going to all go out and make them famous.  Yes you are, you saucy minx.  Expect single #1 in August.  And a visit to these and other shores to accompany.   

And look, there’s a show in NYC, Blender Theater At Gramercy July 29.

Some shouts out:  The Oriental Brasserie in Chiswick for its continued excellence, Danger Mouse for his.  Not sure why there are snipes at Brian. The man’s made so many amazing records and this Sparklehorse one is no exception.  Slightly sad obvs.   Been buying some (mainly) old records this month as usual Hawkwind, West Coast Experimental Pop Band, MNDR, SleighBells, Janis Joplin, Prefab Sprout, Thelonius Monk, David Bowie, Tortoise, Spain, Muddy Waters, Aphex Twin.  Not sure how that particular selction came to be.   Also, I must be truthful I have been playing Red Dead Redemption on the Xbox a fair bit. 

So, yeah, if you were wondering, I AM a real cowboy.

Now, fingers crossed, someone is going to take me to China.  In September.  That’s Life Ambition #6 ticked off right there.

And Inception comes out tomorrow.  So there.  Soooooo there.

And we did the Autumn release schedule and applied catalogue numbers.  It goes up to SICNOTE 095.  We are planning something special for SICNOTE100.  No fucking clue what that will be.  But, y’know, something COOL.

Brooklyn’s Silent League come to the UK for a few very special shows in support of their acclaimed 3^rd album, “But You’ve Always Been The Caretaker” (Something In Construction).

These shows are a collaboration between band leader Justin Russo (guitars and loops) and Mute Records artist MAPS, who will provide his usual beats and fireworks, and will feature a string quartet.  They will play Silent League songs, covers and new jointly written material.

Maps and The Silent League became friends after playing together in NYC a few years back and have been swapping music over the internet leading to the following shows.

c. My birthday next Sunday

.

Well, went out every night last week, we had THE FOREST AND THE TREES and CLASS ACTRESS over doing shows and press and radio and whatnot. They played together at this months ILL FIT which was a pretty amazing night. SAFARI opened and KISSES DJed and it was pretty special night at The Social.

THE FOREST AND THE TREES self-titled debut album is available at Rough Trade and is very fine indeed.

.

STAG AND DAGGER was quite fun on Friday, hauling our asses round Hoxton’s diviest dives and having a VERY Glastonbury moment on the tiny green bit of Hoxton Sq surrounded by soundsystems, weed smoke and random little fires. And 100s of deeply hammered people.

.

Dialogue Dreamer, the second single by FITNESS CLUB FIASCO is coming out June 28^th and will be debuting on the radio shortly (today on Steve Lamacq?- Ed)  and will have a rather fine video to accompany.

.

As indeed does THE SILENT LEAGUE for new single Yours Truly, 2095, a BUCK ROGERS sci fi epic, which is cropping up all over. June14 for that one with a nice homegrown package of remixes from Memory Tapes and Fitness Club Fiasco. Check out the latest FREE tracks from the Silent League here

THE SILENT LEAGUE

But You've Always Been The Caretaker

.

.

Old memories and new ideas. It is time for The Silent League to return.

.

LAVISH, a massive, sweeping record NY Press

.

The third Silent League album is staggeringly good. Drenched in strings, sunshine, regret, optimism, memories, joy and luscious, surging tunes that worm their way into your head. It will not be rushed. Let the whole record flow over you; otherwise it would be like leaving the cinema 20 minutes before the end of the film.

.

Caretaker is their crowning achievement WASHINGTON POST

.

You know sometimes you ponder what album to put on in the morning? And let us be clear: if you do not, then probably you can stop reading this now. Anyway, this is the record to lead you into the day. The sunshine welcome low, through the slats of the blinds onto white sheets. It is late but you have no need to get up. The bed is warm.

.

Orchestral climaxes, lonesome vocals. Beautiful stuff Time Out NY

.

Let it trigger old memories and new ideas, get your toe tapping, kiss you on the neck, bring you champagne and then, smiling, to pour ice cubes down your back and laugh. At its end you will rise up, energised, and want to do great things.

.

This is hairs on the back of your neck stuff TheLineOfBestFit

.

This is a very old-fashioned and very modern and very luxurious album. You can feel the care and time that was put into this. Subtle, glitchy electronic freakouts under lavish strings. One minute a rush, then a lull, a surge, a glint and always a huge shower of sparks and a big waterfall of a chorus about to drench you. Sometimes you will feel the silence and the songs will seem to ebb away, as if you they were only drifting in through the bedroom window. 

.

Enormous hooks and enormous sounds VILLAGE VOICE

.

You can hear ELO, Bowie, Talk Talk, Spiritualized, Spector, Jesus Christ Superstar, Can, Flaming Lips, orchestral film scores and 70s childrens TV themes all jostling for attention here. And if it sounds sometimes like you are listening to a band with 30+ players on the record; well, you are. There are electronics, strings, horns, keyboards, lots of guitars, theremins, banjos and guest appearances from members of The Leisure Society, Arcade Fire, St Vincent, Beirut, Helado Negro and Mercury Rev here.

.

They have turned into the great band they always threatened to be 9/10 Popmatters

We went to Bristol to see FITNESS CLUB FIASCO supporting Frankie & The Heartstrings last week and that was a double bill to remember. Two bands very much on the up. FC Fiasco debuted a couple of new songs that had Hit Single written all over them and rocked a completely rammed Louisiana.

They have just remixed the new Silent League single and also 1901 for Phoenix, and are about to tackle Crystal Castles. We just got in a video for the debut single Forest City. Pretty snazzy, no? It is available digitally now and it has been played on Radio1, Radio2 and 6Music, Xfm and NME Radio.

Go see FC Fiasco play

May 15 BRIGHTON: The Great Escape

May 23 BRISTOL: Kavuka Cafe

We are about to unveil the video for the new single from THE SILENT LEAGUE. It is called Yours Truly 2095 and is a space epic. Oh yes it is. Do not forget you can download FOR FREE the opening salvo from their third album, the Heres A Star EP from The Line Of Best Fit. It has the Heres A Star plus remixes by Neon Indian, Helado Negro and Prequel.

The band will be over here in the summer and hopefully playing Truck Festival.

MINIATURE TIGERS SIC debut, Cannibal Queen got its first plays this week from John Kennedy and Huw Stephens. Plenty more coming from them, including a UK jaunt in June.

Last Saturday was Record Store Day and we went to Rough Trade East and hung out for some hours and saw some bands, some friends and a BIG QUEUE of people trying to get their hands on vinyl booty. We also had some beer and had to have an early night. Our limited BETTER POP MUSIC compilations were flying out, we are very pleased to report. Hope you managed to get one. Drop us a line if you missed out.  We have a few left.

Also available to buy this week, the debut release from our NEW digital sister label ILL FIT Recordings THE FOREST AND THE TREES To The Trees (I Need Some Peace). It is SOTW on Jon Hilcocks NME Radio show this week.

We are also beginning to get tunes in from studios around the world that will make up the next albums from AIR FRANCE, THE GAY BLADES and MEMORY TAPES. Amazing amazing tunes.

That is it for now.

SIC

Better Pop Music by ILL FIT

We went to sunny SXSW last month and then took a teensy holiday of sorts in London. Memory Tapes, Silent League, Acrylics, Class Actress and Miniature Tigers all played in Austin and we had a lot of fun. It was great to finally see Yacht, No Age and Priestess and see a lot of SICs American friends. And eat BBQ. And drink beer.

A brand new band, MINIATURE TIGERS are releasing their fantastic debut single Cannibal Queen in May on SIC. For fans of XTC, Shins and irresistible pop music. You can sample it right here

Memory Tapes, Air France and The Gay Blades are now recording their new albums. Exciting is the key word here. It is going to be a great year.

The Silent League are gearing up for a May release of their 3^rd album But Youve Always Been The Caretaker. Available upfront from Rough Trade as a handsomely packaged limited 2 disc set with a bonus disc or rarities/covers/remixes.

Opening single Here's A Star is getting precious airplay on Radio1, 6Music and Xfm.  Download the Here’s A Star free digital EP NOW! Remixes by Neon Indian, Helado Negro and Prequel.

Our very new sister label ILL FIT Recordings, a digital label in partnership with TheLineOfBestFit.com, is launching this month with the debut single and album from Sweden's The Forest And The Trees. The single To The Trees (I Need Some Peace) features as track 2 on the new SIC Sampler, speaking of which:

LiE #2:  BETTER POP MUSIC

The virtually annual Something In Construction promo compilation is upon us again and it is called BETTER POP MUSIC. With good reason. It covers a lot of ground from huge noise pop to thumping disco, country fuzz, intense indie rock and straight up wide eyed pop music. All sequenced and crossfaded like a kickass mixtape. Which it is.

It is available from good indie stores on Record Store Day this Saturday, April 17^th.

Last years CD featured the previously obscure Delorean, Leisure Society, Gay Blades, Air France, Spinnerette and Memory Tapes. This year we have a bunch of SIC's 'bigger' acts, some new things we are looking at and some tunes that we have borrowed from friends of ours because, well, cos they fitted really well.

1. THERE WILL BE FIREWORKS Foreign Thoughts

Signed to our new digital only sister label ILL FIT recordings, these intense Scottish guitar manglers have confessions to make

2. THE FOREST & THE TREES To The Forest

Also signed to ILL FIT and first out of the blocks these Loney-Dear-affiliated Swedes make sweetly beautiful 60s pop music.

3. ACRYLICS Molly’s Vertigo

Licensed to SIC from Chris Grizzly Bear Taylor’s Terrible Records these Brooklynites offer some luscious Fleetwood Maccy pop swirls.

4. MINIATURE TIGERS Cannibal Queen

Next up for SIC, this one and a very fine Shins/XTC ish perfect pop nugget it is too

5. FITNESS CLUB FIASCO Forest City

Recently all over the radio, this Bristol via Canada 4-piece are keeping one eye on LCD Soundsystem, one on Pet Shop Boys and a third on The Postal Service with this, their debut single for SIC.

6. CLASS ACTRESS Journal Of Ardency

Another from Terrible and now in SIC; this is a super sexy, superclassy and very pop Black Box Recorder via Daft Punk classic

7. MEMORY TAPES Graphics Remodel Edit

A super punchy edit from the universally critically acclaimed New Jersey one man hit factory's debut SIC album Seek Magic.

8.  CARIBOU ODESSA

You know this by now right? Not sure how you'd describe this demented little floorfiller but its is straight up genius from Dan Snaith.

9. CEREMONY Someday

Sort of reminds me of The House Of Love being mauled by Ministry or JAMC and it is pure sonic filth. Enjoy. Forthcoming on SIC.

10. JESSICA LEA MAYFIELD Kiss Me Again

Slowing Down here this one here is Galaxie 500 and Mazzy Star making out in the dustbowl.

11. FREELANCE WHALES Generator 2nd Floor

One of the year's big buzz bands this is a builder that has been getting a lot of coverage lately

12. THE SILENT LEAGUE When Stars Attack

Back in May with their third SIC album this is a lush and absolutely huge-sounding, epic fizzing, swooping ballad.

13. AIR FRANCE GBG Belongs To Us

The first new song since their debut SIC album this is St Etienne-ish dancefloor pop gold.  Bodes well for album #2

14.WASHED OUT Feel It All Around

Another of the year's big buzzes this is pure class. Just don't call it c***wave.

15. NEW MOODS Dying/Trying

Formed out of previous SIC act Other Passengers this is Liars as imagined by Phil Spector.  It is long and it is huge.  Building with strings indeed.  Forthcoming on SIC.

16. MEMORY CASSETTE Surfin’

A pre Seek Magic track from Dayve Hawk, this is still just amazingly sleek pop music.  Slightly mad too.

17. PHOENIX 1901 Memory Tapes Remix

No explanation needed here, I suspect.

18. FEAR OF TIGERS Please Don’t Leave

Now this is something we just loved straight away. Absolutely massive sounding rave-mungous disco-influenced genius.

19  THE REST Drinking Again

The comedown?  Indeed.  But pretty damned beautiful with it. Haunting is a word that may have just met its definition here.  SIC is proud to have them.

Thats it for now, cept to say we are endorsing the following this month:
