Before going on tour again beloved bearded singer/songwriter WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS will return with new music. Pittsburgh is the name of the seven-song strong follow-up to last year’s Lions and those who will attend one of his forthcoming shows will get exclusive access to the new album. It’s easy – buy a ticket and you can also get the album as an extra (even in an autographed version). No word yet when the rest of the world will be able to get the new music by Mr. FITZSIMMONS. Find more infos about the whole concept right here and don’t forget to read our quite entertaining interview with him from 2014.
Legendary American indie rock outfit BUILT TO SPILL has finally shared first music from their anticipated new record Untethered Moon.

The gentlemen from DJANGO DJANGO shared a music video for First Light, the lead single off their new album Born Under Saturn which arrives on May the 4th. And director Daniel Swan stuck with the sci-fi concept as you can see right here.
Norwegian disco expert Hans-Peter LINDSTRØM finally returns with new music. Home Tonight is the name of his new single which features guest vocals by Grace Hall from the band SKIN TOWN. It’s supposed to mark the first one in a series of singles the charismatic producer will release throughout 2015. Enjoy the epic 9-minute-long Extended Mix of the new tune right here.
Norwegian experimentalist JENNY HVAL returns with a new full-length called Apocalypse Girl. The record will arrive on June 9th, 2015 and it looks like the talented artist is willing to once again break the boundaries of pop and deliver her eclectic own version of what pop music can be. Witness a first trailer right here.
What an epic combination. RADIOHEAD‘s Thom Yorke and Robert Del Naja from MASSIVE ATTACK joined forces for a new soundtrack project. The film is called The UK Gold and it’s based on the whole tax avoidance industry. And Yorke is really into the topic as he states: ‘Now is the time to reveal the revolving doors between government and the City that has bred lies and corruption for so long, siphoning money through our tax havens for the global super rich, while now preaching that we the people must pay our taxes and suffer austerity. Just who does our government work for?’ You can stream the entire soundtrack right here.
HOT CHIP have something special for their fans as they managed to make each copy of their forthcoming sixth album Why Make Sense? unique. This is possible due to a bespoke printing technique which has never been used before. Each CD or vinyl will come in one of 501 different colours. And if you combine that with subtle variations of the design you can get something no one else has. Don’t ask us how much it will cost.

British producer and Stuart Howard aka LAPALUX shares a new song off his forthcoming album Lustmore. He already gave us Closure and Don’t Mean A Thing definitely holds the quality. The new record arrives on April the 7th. Listen to it right here.
Did you ever wonder if you are a ‘real’ artist? Or at least in the eye of KANYE WEST? Well, you can finally get your personal judgement by the American rap duo. At least via a special homepage, designed by electropop duo YACHT. The band built this side shortly after this year’s Grammy controversy which seemed like a fitting moment. Head over to kanye.am/iarealartist to find out if you have what it takes to survive in showbiz.
