11/5/2019 0 Comments bbc 6 music interview - pOLIÇA Minneapolis band Poliça are back with new music. The brand new single ‘Driving’ had its world premiere with Lauren Laverne on Wednesday (9th October) and it marks the first taster of a new album ‘When We Stay Alive’, released on January 31st 2020. The time between the ‘United Crushers’ LP in 2016 and this record was permeated with a bad accident for the singer Channy Leaneagh. She fell 10 feet off a roof and badly broke her back, which resulted in wearing a brace for three months before starting physical therapy on the long road to recovery. Out the other side and with a new album to boot and a world tour no less with UK dates in the diary in February we checked in with her to find out more about the new track Driving. She started by telling me about what happened…  Earlier this year Rebecca Taylor released her debut album as Self Esteem.
The former Slow Club singer had spent a decade touring and releasing albums in the duo with Charles Watson but has since found a new freedom writing and performing her solo work which is inspired by Kanye West and Destiny’s Child but through an alt-pop filter. Following her debut Compliments Please she has played a host of different festivals this year from All Points East to Glastonbury, Latitude to Green Man. She is an ambassador of BBC Music Day today and nominated for Best Breakthrough at the Q Awards next month plus she revealed she has already got to work on a second album. I sat down with Rebecca Taylor for a catch up and it's always a hoot, have a listen…  Nils Frahm releases his new Encores 3 EP which concludes the All Encores collection, out now via Erased Tapes.
I spoke to Nils for BBC 6 Music about how these new tracks came together and what he's been up to. Listen above...  Bat For Lashes has shared the first taster of a new album Lost Girls which will be out September 6th. IT SOUNDS MEGA!
The track is called Kids In The Dark and is a homage to LA, 80s movies and music and the characters of album number 5 the Lost Girls. The new LP follows The Bride from 2016 and she also did the Sexwitch project with the band Toy in that time but this also came off the back of moving on from a major label deal to going independent. Now based in LA I spoke to her for BBC 6 Music to find out more about this new record…  Let’s hear from Fat White Family.
Tomorrow (19th April) they celebrate their third album with what they present as a “Pop-Up Boutique Experience” in downtown Peckham. The invite reads: Don’t miss out on our yummylicious cupcakes, bric a brac, political lectures, antiques EXPERIENCES, lectures, quasi-poetical immersive EXPERIENCES, commercial openings, music and so much more… It kicks off at Noon – 5pm at 91 Peckham High Street. I spoke to Lias on the phone for BBC 6 Music while they were in rehearsals to discuss the event tomorrow and what they’ve described as their “cryptic masterwork” the new record Serf’s Up... 4/9/2019 0 Comments BBC 6 MUSIC INTERVIEW: HAYDEN THORPE EX WILD BEASTS DISCUSSES NEW SOLO ALBUM DIVINER For BBC 6 Music I had the pleasure of speaking to ex-Wild Beasts frontman Hayden Thorpe about his new single and album Diviner. The record out May 24th on Domino Records was launched today, along with a new single called Love Crimes. Hayden had left a bitter winter in the Lake District behind, where the decision had just been made for Wild Beasts to go their separate ways after over a decade, and he escaped to the perpetual blue skies of California to write new music. Returning to London he continued to write on his piano and the album slowly came together… Here we are...  Super Women Trailer from Super Women on Vimeo.
