Leader Cheetah’s new music video for ‘Our Love’ found the band rolling tape at a friend’s place on the outskirts of Adelaide – a property that they’d always had a soft spot for. The song, which features Holly Throsby on vocal harmonies, was recorded during 2010′s Lotus Skies album sessions, which the band wrapped up on Christmas Eve. Their national album tour kicks off next week in Western Australia, with the brilliant Belles Will Ring joining all dates.

“It’s virtually impossible not to be thrilled at WILD FLAG’s coming-out party”, wrote NPR at this March’s South By South West festival. The next month, the band would record their self-titled debut album at Sacramento’s Hangar Studios. On Friday September 9, we’ll release it in Aus/NZ. Check out some live footage recorded by NPR back in Austin. Huge! 

Arcade Fire’s Grammy of The Year winning epic, The Suburbs has received the deluxe treatment, and today been released as a limited edition album with two brand new songs from The Sububs‘ recording sessions – ‘Culture War’ and ‘Speaking In Tongues’ ft. David Byrne, alongside Spike Jonze’s Scenes From The Suburbs film and a 76 page booklet filled with lyrics, stills and original artworks. Very cool.

Van Pierszalowski took a big old trip around the world last spring when his band, Port O’Brien finally disbanded. Between Norway, Alaska, California and Brooklyn he shed his old style of writing and began to create music that was louder, more raw and contrasted than before. He formed a new band, WATERS who recorded an album, Out In The Light. It’s such an immediate, cinema-scale sound, with huge hooks and fuzzy magnified guitars. Says Van, “The record is about waking up. It is about getting out of a situation that seems endless, and realizing you’re not too old to make dramatic and sudden changes in your life.” It’s released in Aus/NZ on Friday September 16.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra‘s first foray into video is of another world – the perfect partner to their 70s laced self-titled album. The Portland via New Zeland trio will visit Australia this December to perform the Homebake Festival, Falls Festivals and Southbound.

We love the story of Jack Ladder’s new album, HURTSVILLE -  recorded in the dead of winter at a huge old castle in Yass. After a couple of album launches in June, we are very excited to see Ladder and his band the Dreamlanders hitting the road for a national tour, and taking the gorgeous Ghoul with them. It’s a great run of dates spanning the east + west coasts, with return visits to Brissy, Melbourne + Sydney.  Watch the brand new video for album cut ‘Beautiful Sound’, filmed on location at Ladder’s Blue Mountains pad below, & see the full dates via Spunk Tours now.
