Afternoon Delight - 01/17/09

Features two new tracks from Franz Ferdinand, Turn it On & Lucid Dreams. It's been four years since their previous album. Some fear the third record & the album hints to a reinvention of their sound, take the Hot Chip-esque DIY electronica of the sprawling conclusion to the seven minute track Lucid Dreams. Check it for yourself. Their new album is titled Tonight & it will be released January 27th.


Iran - Buddy off of thier upcoming album Dissolver. Before Kyp Malone was the guitarist for TV on the Radio, he was a member of this band. They are set to release their tird album February 3rd. Dissolver is promised to expand the sonic palette of Iran's bedroom noise rock twiddling (they recorded their first albums on a four-track) into a lusher sound, and epic sounding first single "Buddy" would seem to bear that out. Lead singer and songwriter Aaron Aites, like on Iran's previous efforts, handles all of the songwriting, with Malone and guitarist Aaron Romanello providing the music, and TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek reportedly lends a producing hand on some of the tracks.


Asobi Seksu - Familiar Light, The Brooklyn based band releases their third record titled Hush on February 17th. Shimmering, dew-draped riffs and spiral staircase melodies are blurred by bits of guitar violence, and sputtering drums are bolstered by the ethereal vocals of Yuki Chikudate.


Sune Rose Wagner - Beruset Og Forhadt, Sune is one half of the Raveonettes & I just recently found out aht he released a solo self titled album.
