Well, that was quicker than originally planned. According to the Tweet post you can find below Scottish synthpop three-piece CHVRCHES has already finished the recording sessions for the follow-up to their 2013 debut The Bones Of What You Believe. Originally the band planned to take a bit more time for the recording sessions but it looks like things went better than expected. We keep you updated on any news regarding the second CHVRCHES album.



Ten Walls said something really stupid and homophobic

Tenn Walls - 2015

Do you know TEN WALLS? Well, if not then don’t mind remembering the stage name of Lithuanian producer Marijus Adomaitis as it looks like he sensationally crashed his own career by saying something really dumb and homophobic on his Facebook page. He not only compared homosexuality to pedophilia but also decribed all homosexuals as a ‘different breed’. Pulseradio quoted the entire post which got deleted since then.

I remember producing music for one Lithuanian musician, who tried to wash my brain that I don’t need to be so conservative and intolerant about them.

When I asked him “what would you do if you realized that your 16-year-old son’s browny (anus) is ripped by his boyfriend?” Well he was silent.

(In) the good 90s… these people of different breed where fixed.

One of my first gigs in Ireland, on my way to [my] hotel I saw a church with a fence decorated with hundreds of baby shoes. Naturally I wondered why?

Unfortunately a priest’s lie for many years was uncovered when children were massively raped.

Unfortunately the people of other breed continue to do it and everyone knows it but does nothing.

Later Adomaitis posted an apology, stating :I want to apologize for the former post in my account. I am really sorry about its insulting content which does not reflect my true opinion. I hope this misunderstanding will not provoke any more thoughts and opinions. Peace.’ Still, the damage is done with immediate consequences. TEN WALLS – who recently performed at Berlin Festival – got thrown out from various festivals like MS Dockville, Pitch! Festival and Sonar. And German booking agency MELT! Booking also announced an immediate split. We hope there’s more to follow.



Disclorsure announce their second album ‘Caracal’

disclosure

After already giving us great new songs in the form of Bang That  and Holding On, houser music siblings Guy and Howard Lawrence aka DISCLOSURE have now officially announced their second album Caracal. The follow-up to their 2013 debut Settle is set for a release via PMR/Island on September 25.

Howard explains the record’s title: ‘A Caracal is an incredible wild cat that I became fascinated with while on tour last year; I just love the way they look, their physical capabilities and their anonymity. It felt like a perfect fit for our Wild Life brand too, so the Caracal made perfect sense as the lead visual for the new album and over the course of recording, it also felt like a natural title for the new record too.’ Watch a trailer for the new DISCLOSURE LP below.
