TENNIS

Denver husband/wife duo Tennis lived on a sailboat at some point — You get that rush of sun and wind in their Spector-esque ’60s girl-group summer pop, especially via Alaina Moore’s buoyant vocals.

New Concretes album due in October

Popular Swedish group The Concretes will release a new record in the Autumn, so reports a post on their BandCamp page. Good news, I think. The album will be called WYWH and is set to be released in October.
There's not much more information than that available but there is, fortunately, a track from the record free to stream and download. That's called 'Good Evening' and it will also be the first single. In terms of length it's about six-and-a-half minutes long and you can also listen to it below. It's a slow, slightly laid-back effort, but one which bursts through, albeit understatedly, towards the ending. Gentle.

Listen to Bloc Party's Kele Single "Tenderoni"

The time has come for us to hear the first single from Bloc Party singer Kele's solo album, The Boxer. It's called "Tenderoni" and, if you couldn't tell by that title, it's not just another Bloc Party track by another name. Producer XXXChange of Spank Rock makes his electro-freak presence felt, and I suddenly feel the urge to go to the gym. Listen right up there. The Boxer is out June 21 in the UK via Wichita/Polydor and June 22 in the U.S. via Glassnote. The "Tenderoni" single is out June 14.

ceo = Tough Alliance's Eric Berglund

ceo is a new project from Tough Alliance's Eric Berglund. And there's a ceo album and everything: White Magic is due June 28 in Europe, June 29 in the U.S., and July 2 in Australia and New Zealand. A cryptic (and possibly stoned) press release and message on the ceo website tells us, "ceo is the photosynthesis and an aria, it is silence and virginity lost in a gang bang. ... ceo is the ashanti and ceo is seinfeld. it is eucalyptus, neon and a smile," and so on. It is the first press release I've ever read to reference Ashanti, "Seinfeld", and gang bangs. Bravo.

White Magic tracklist-- featuring first single "Come With Me"-- is below:

1. All Around
2. Illuminata
3. Love and Do What You Will
4. White Magic
5. Oh God Oh Dear
6. No Mercy
7. Come With Me
8. ***

Having one self-titled record is de rigeur these days and probably always has been. Having two, well, that's less conventional for obvious reasons relating to clarity.

It'll be released on June 7 through Fiction, was written in various places around the world including a church in Iceland, a cabin in Ontario and a garage somewhere in Detroit. It was also produced by Ethan Kath of the duo and will be preceded by a limited edition 12" release of 'Doe Deer' on Record Store Day (April 17), which will in turn be followed by 'Celestica'.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart announce new single

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have announced a new single, “Say No To Love”, which will be released on Slumberland on June 8. The B-side will be “Lost Saint”. The single will have its UK release on Fortuna Pop, but at the time of writing, we’re not sure if the two labels will release it on the same day. The Pains will go on a 2 week US tour this summer together with Surfer Blood and Hooray For Earth, both very good bands. The follow-up to their much acclaimed debut will be recorded soon after the tour. Kip from TPoBPaH says this about the sound of the single:

“In many ways, “Say No to Love” is pretty Pains-by-numbers. It’s got 3 chords, a fuzz pedal and lots of feelings. But instead of recording in the basement like we did for our album and both EPs, we recorded in an actual studio (Stratosphere Sound in New York). We tried hard to make it sound, as Peggy would say, “life affirming” and we’re pretty excited about how it turned out. We hope you are too.”
