SXSW DOWNLOAD: The Golden Filter - Hide Me
.jpg)
Unlike most folks in Austin, windswept electro-disco duo The Golden Filter actually have legitimate reason to be hoovering Lone Stars: they just announced their debut album, Voluspa (a spa of volume, perhaps?), is coming out on June 15 in the U.S and April 26 in the UK. No word on who's releasing it Stateside, but Brille will be handling the overseas duties. Tejas residents/visitors have three opportunities to catch them this week (info after the break), all others can do like us and bliss out to the LP's first single below.

PREMIERE: Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (Cassette Club Remix)
.jpg)
Cassette Club eke out the dreams in Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead", the 1,516th remix of this track setting itself apart by sheer weight of fantasy. The combination of clearly addled disco synths and the Massachusetts band's unwavering naivety pushes this one into a strange place - it'd be hard to imagine this existing anywhere other than a school disco in Ibiza that was actually populated by Ibizan children, rather than sweaty, slutty Brits abroad with booze on their breath.

PREMIERE: Penguin Prison - Something I'm Not (Krispin Korg Remix)

We’ve got it bad for Penguin Prison. Last week, “Something I’m Not” ripped through our ranks and today we’re premiering a splashy Krispin Korg remix that effectively sounds like Michael Jackson’s glitter glove clogged Daft Punk’s air duct. PP’s an alloy of virtuous dance and analog pop cut with soul, and we, for one, need his forthcoming LP on Neon Gold to drop immediately. In the meantime, we’re buying the single here.

RCRD OF THE DAY: Lindstrøm & Christabelle - Baby Can't Stop (Radio Edit)

If you told us thirty-five years ago that the person carrying disco in 2010 would be a bearded, soft-spoken, gardening Norwegian, we probably would've told you to lay off the poppers. But you would've been clairvoyant, because Hans-Peter Lindstrøm has done nothing over the past five years if not assert himself as disco's strongest, most imaginative, free-spirited proponent. Last year he took the genre to altitudes and lengths theretofore unexplored with the epicer-than-epic Where You Go, I Go Too, and now, with Real Life Is No Cool, a collaborative LP with the singer Christabelle, he's revisited to the classic fabulousness of Moroder-era Donna Summer, West End Records, and Studio 54. The album's pearl, "Baby Can't Stop," is available below in edited form.
Real Life Is No Cool is out now through Smalltown Supersound. Lindstrøm & Christabelle play London's Fabric on March 13–a flyer for that is after the break.

PREMIERE: The Phenomenal Handclap Band - Baby (Architeq Dub)
You know when famous people talk about feeling lonely because they can never really be sure if their friends or lovers are genuine, or just after them for the deflected fame/drugs/money? This Architeq remix is the sound of that, basically, high on the cocaine artifice of cosmic funk but equally vulnerable at heart, as wailing and morose as the wronged Delta bluesman. Try to unravel the contradictory mysteries of The Phenomenal Handclap Band while they tour the UK this month.

PREMIERE: d'Eon - Almost Out Of Time
You can tell Chris d'Eon learned how to play the lute in a Tibetan monastery - the crisp, fresh synths of "Almost Out Of Time" burble with talk of being reborn every Friday, only to go out into the night and sully virgin guts all over again. My suffering internal organs talk excitedly to each other about this song after I've fallen asleep every night. They can find more blessed purity on Chris's mesmerising new EP, Aeon.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn (Softwar Remix)
Before 2004, when young people finally realised they could listen to more than one type of music and still wear tight jeans, this is what indie rock heard when it dreamed of dance music: treble- rather than bass-driven, with a young, clean male on vocals instead of some nameless, wailing diva; horizon-bound synth wooshes and a reliable snare to drive yr gut pangs. All in all, Softwar's remix of Two Door Cinema Club is brilliant, alive stuff, whether you've been awake in clubs or not this last half decade.
Sounds Like: Cut Copy, The Juan Maclean, Memory Tapes
