The Weekly Catch-Up (w/e 23rd August)

Yes it's that time of the week where we round-up the BEST new music that we've heard over the past 7 days (or so), we've got new stuff from Interpol, SBTRKT and something brand new from Aussie band New Navy!

SBTRKT

SBTRKT - War Drums (Featuring Warpiant)

This was recorded live at Maida Vale studios for Zane Lowe BBC Radio 1, the song appears on the album and is a collaboration with Warpaint's Emily Kokal Warpaint on vocals. The original version on SBTRKT's forthcoming album




New Navy - Rosaline

"Rosaline" is the first official single to be lifted from New Navy's forthcoming début LP. It's been a long time coming for fans of the band, and since we heard their song "Zimbabwe" on a Kitsune compilation album we've been big admirers of their dancable indie-pop anthems!




Sundara Karma - Indigo Puff

Following on from their stunning début single "Cold Heaven" which was released via the ever consistent Chess Club Records earlier this year, Reading's Sundara Karma have announced their brilliant new single "Indigo Puff" which is out on 6 October through 203 Recordings.

The huge song has an equally huge anthematic chorus and when I first heart it I was literally amazed! This single is once again going to be backed by a couple of shows, 24th September in Reading at BBC Introducing at Oakford and at London's Barfly the next day.




Rae Morris - Closer

From her early "Blue Print" demos we've been a fan of hers, and we even managed to catch her live back when she was opening for Bombay Bicycle Club. Since then she's gone on tour on her own, released some great EPs and has even provided guest vocals for Bombay Bicycle Club on their recent album.

Now she's back with another great piano-come-electronic tune "Closer", you can listen to it below, and if you fancy listening to her collaboration with Fryars you can click here for "Cold".




Racing Glaciers - Animals

Racing Glaciers have this week released their latest EP, riding off the back of a wave of optimism and being on the latest Transformers OST the band from Macclesfield have it all going for them right about now! "Animal" has some real emotion buried beneath the soaring post-rock riffs and melodies, listen to this and tell me they're destined for big things!



Kele Okereke - Closer

Bloc Party's front-man Kele Okereke has a brand new solo LP coming out in October, and after releasing a teaser for "Trick", he's released a full stream of the first single off the album, "Doubt".

Four years after his first solo LP came out this has a slightly more house flavour to it after his dabbling in the scene in the past 12 months. Not as electronic as his most recent material, but it's certainly great to hear his vocals again.




Interpol - Ancient Ways

Interpol have unveiled the latest track off their forthcoming album "El Pintor". You can stream "Ancient Ways" just below. The full album is out 8th September.
