Cross Kings shut, Stag’s Head is next
Best Coast: riding the wave
“Portia, I Dreamt You Were a Princes” is beautiful little electronic postscript on a delicate lo-fi folk album by Manchester’s The Empty Set. The album, “Neat As a New Pin”, is well worth checking out. This track has a few seconds of silence at the start… stick with it!

Via esteemed internet music journal The Quietus come this oppressive remix of Nick Cave’s Grinderman by Factory Floor. Worthwhile.

The wonderful and more than slightly mysterious neu-goth princess Zola Jesus plays one of our favourite venues, C.A.M.P., tonight. This track, Night, is her first UK single, out last week on Souterrain Transmissions and taken from the brilliant debut album Stridulum II.
Indie dreamboat Sufjan Stevens has released a new track from his forthcoming record The Age Of Adz. He has taken an intriguing swerve and gone electronic. Which is, in his hands, quite obviously an epically excellent decision.
L.A. duo No Age have been doling out their psychedelic-edged noise-rock for several years now without ever quite nailing it in the studio like they do live. “Glitter” is a step in the right direction, melding the noise, rhythm and melody that makes them great, and sitting between Deerhunter and Sonic Youth.
