And speaking of Jens, he just surprised the world with a new song today. Here’s what he had to say about it on his website: “It was the day before the american election 2008 and I was filled with a hopelessness that only a McCain supporter could have shared with me at the...

It’ll take a bit of travelling, but by some strange constellation of the stars, confluence of factors, flap of a butterfly’s wing and all that, Letters have no Arms will be lucky enough, starting from tonight, to see the holy trinity of Kings of Convenience, Belle & Sebastian and Jens Lekman over the next...

To which we would probably reply, ‘good question!’ and ‘thanks for asking!’ Well, we’ve moved. Yep. We are now ex-Athens residents and current Barcelona residents. It’s been a crazy few weeks… saying goodbye to all our friends, emptying a house, leaving a key behind and getting on a plane… We’ve been here a little...

I first discovered Best Friends Forever through Last.fm. Someone commented on their artist page saying that they are “everything I need in a song”. At the risk of being hyperbolic I’ll go further than that and say they are pretty much everything I need in a band. You can start throwing stones on my...

The Clientele today released a new song from their upcoming mini album, entitled Minotaur (out in September). It sounds like summer, a bit like Love, and a lot like The Clientele. Surely that can only be a good thing. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to packing. The Clientele –...

Have you always felt a sense of regret at missing out on the paranoia, fear and all-round mind-fuck insanity of the Cold War? (yep, me too) Then this is your week. See, the FBI just announced the discovery of a rather large number of deep-cover Russian ‘spies’ implanted inside the US. Spies! They looked...

If you were wondering what bands make up the soundtrack to LHNA’s summer so far, here are some albums and EPs I’ve had on repeat as of late: Learning by Perfume Genius Pitchfork may have named “Mr. Peterson” Best New Track but really this is an album that must be heard as a whole....

Just in time to be added to your summer party 2010 playlist, The Thermals offer up this rather tasty piece of bouncypoppyindierock, the first single off upcoming album Personal Life, out September 7. It even has an ‘oh uh oh‘ bit to rival (not match, as that would be impossible) Now We Can See’s...

A seemingly endless amount of remixes While they used to just be an interesting bonus on a purchased CD single, now they fill, cram and clog the internet (have you seen the Hype Machine lately?). It seems no self-respecting single gets released these days without having a Soulwax, Mstrkrft, Tom Campesinos!, Rihanna’s Gardener, the...
