To Whom It May Interest: Jane's Addiction, Joe Lally, Neurosis

-
Just some news and snippets I caught over the course of the day, plus a new single from Jane's Addiction.


The new Joe Lally (Fugazi) album, Why Should I Get Used To It will be released on April 26 on Dischord Records in conjunction with Tolotta Records. This album was recorded in Rome, Italy, where Joe now lives, and features extensive contributions from his tour-mates, Elisa Abela and Emanuele Tomasi. Joe just wrapped up several weeks of European tour dates and will continue to tour throughout 2011.

Jane’s Addiction Added TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek; Hear the Result
It’s been eight years since Jane’s Addiction released an LP and more than two decades since their seminal Ritual de lo Habitual came out, but Addiction fans can get excited again as Perry Farrell and company have wrapped up recording on The Great Escape Artist, set for release later this year. In addition, Farrell recruited TV on the Radio member and celebrated indie rock producer Dave Sitek for the album. Sitek not only plays bass on the record, but also co-produced and contributed to the writing.

How is this partnership working out? Well, while promoting Lollapalooza’s expansion to Chile this weekend, Farrell debuted a brand new track off the upcoming album while doing an interview with Chilean radio. Hear “End to the Lies” below. (Note: You’ll have to put up with one minor interruption from the Chilean DJ, but as far as DJ voices go, his ain’t that bad.)

I’m no Jane’s Addiction expert, so I ask you: Does this song make you more or less excited for the new album?

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 band has a new EP out: A digital release entitled, Counter Balance . “RDI” is the song I sampled and it is a post-rock-meets-electronica mixture that seems to capitalize a bit on Foals , (an assessment all too accurately made in the press release by a writer for NME). 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
