Cassius release video for "Action" featuring Cat Power & Mike D - Press Release

French duo Cassius made their return last week with surprise single "Action" featuring Cat Power and Mike D, out now via Interscope / Polydor Records. "Action" marks the group's first new song in years and stays true the classic Cassius sound that helped shape the future of electronic music, while bringing a forward-thinking production attitude honed on recent albums for some of the biggest global artists of our time. The video, directed by the TOILET PAPER crew, follows the band to a playfully-retro tropical dance party that rapidly gets out of hand.

Courtney Taylor-Taylor on "STYGGO": "The world is full of corporate billionaire scumbags who pollute the earth, kill wildlife, cause cancer, secretly running nations into the ground, and the moronic masses who just agree with their mindless slogans and will never fight the good fight to help to stop them until finally the last blistered blind three armed mutant dregs of humanity eat each other's putrid flesh in mankind's final nauseating death throws..."

The Dandy Warhols return with the second single "STYGGO" from Distortland which is due April 8th via Dine Alone Records. On April 1 they kick off a worldwide tour in support of Distortland. The dates include two nights at The Bowery Ballroom in New York City (April 12 and 13), DC, Boston and more.  More dates are to be confirmed and the full tour is listed below.

Formed in Portland, Oregon, The Dandy Warhols consist of members Courtney Taylor (vocals, guitar), Zia McCabe (keyboards), Peter Holmstrom (guitar), and Brent DeBoer (drums).   Distortland was first recorded in Taylor's basement on an 80s cassette recorder with the band putting on the finishing touches in a studio. Jim Lowe - best known for his work with Taylor Swift and Beyonce - mixed the album.  Courtney notes that the end result is an album that is "organized like a pop record but still has the sonic garbage still in there."

HÆLOS release 'Separate Lives' Video - Press Release

UK trio HÆLOS has premiered their video for "Separate Lives". The new single is taken from their darkly shaded and radiant debut album, Full Circle, out March 18th via Matador / Remote Control.

Made entirely by the band and filmed during their first west coast tour, the "Separate Lives" video gives insight into HÆLOS’ Lotti Benardout, Arthur Delaney and Dom Goldsmith’s lives on the road.

As described by the band, “’Separate Lives’ was one of the last songs we wrote for the record. We wanted it to be a nod towards some of our more gospel and Delta blues influences. It’s a reflection on the moment when you are choosing between staying or leaving and the underlying love that keeps you there. We liked that, it was simple and human and something we could all share experience in.”

HÆLOS - Full Circle

1. Intro / Spectrum
2. Pray
3. Dust
4. Full Circle
5. Earth Not Above
6. Oracle
7. Alone
8. Separate Lives
