Helms Alee and Young Widows split a 12"

-
On June 3rd, the wonderful people at Sargent House will be doing us all a solid and a half by releasing an excellent new split 12" from Helms Alee and Young Widows.  I accessed the stream earlier today and mentally added yet another "MUST OWN" to the wishlist, along with Helms Alee's full-length, Sleepwalking Sailors, which came out in February.  

You can listen to the release at Noisey or, since you're already here, I've embedded the Soundcloud link below.  All info and links were provided by Us/Them Group.

A veritable sea of hits began with Ellie Greenwich, who passed away yesterday at the age of 68 . "Leader Of The Pack" ”Da Do Run Run” Without trying, you've heard at least a dozen of her songs, her name synonymous with "girl groups," and a pre-lethal Phil Spector . Farewell to a hit machine.

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings. The mostly repetitious loop'd loop of springy bass riffs and flat percussion offer Sleaford Mods the distinction of being the more sophistica

What I Heard This Morning: Breton

I received an email via Sure Shot PR that was promoting Hemlock Recordings as well as their new acquisition, Breton .

The melodies they pick, though, are catchy and “RDI” really didn’t leave my head all day. They’re not typically a band I would discuss, but I thought Breton were intriguing enough to note. ”RDI” Here's the press info: HEK010 BRETON - Counter Balance EP Digital release: "RDI" "Counter Balance" "December" "Pop Death" "Hours Away" 12" Vinyl: HEK010A: "December" HEK010B1: "Hours Away" HEK010B2: "Counter Balance" With incendiary debuts from James Blake and Fantastic Mr Fox , Hemlock has built
