Night / Night

Two night related news beats for you here - Salem announce the title, tracklist and artwork for their debut album, King Night, due for release on 28th September through IAMSOUND records.  It's hard to believe that this will be their debut album, after releasing only three essential eps over the last few years.  Definitly the instigators of the signatory creeped out Drag sound of Witch House, this is going to be a massive event when it crawls onto the Earth in Autumn.

Tracklist:

01 King Night
02 Asia
03 Frost
04 Sick
05 Release Da Boar
06 Trapdoor
07 Redlights
08 Hound
09 Traxx
10 Tair
11 Killer


The second Night news is the Creep remix of Memory Tapes' Green Night track, available from their MySpace player over here: http://www.myspace.com/wearecreep.

Making very dark of the lightness of Memory Tapes summery Chillwave sound - and more evidence for the intrinsic relationship between the two genres. If such genre taxonomy details excite you!

Matrix Metals - Ray Ban Meltdown

Since the Pocahaunted album came out last Friday I've been having a bit of a Not Not Fun rinse out. Matrix Metals has mached my head the hardest so far - The tropical shimmertone chillwave of Washed Out / Small Black / Memory Tapes et al blown out a bit harder and stretched out even longer, tweaking the samples just at inch at a time, slowly teasign the tension and release out of you. Boomkat described it as "LIKE ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER CROSSED WITH ARIEL PINK".

Yes.

Flamingo Breeze is the track people are caning, but it's 12 minutes with no full videos online, so you'll just have to overdose on the equally awesome Ray Ban Meltdown:
