Tour Dates, New Video and Bjork: Micachu & The Shapes

(New Video for "Turn Me Well" above.) After dropping their debut release, Jewellery, Micachu & The Shapes exploded on to the scene playing All Points West, SXSW, the Siren Music Festival and scratching that inch on the back of some eager bloggers. Their highly artistic, instrumental-led rock-pop draws you in with hook melodies, then immediately rescinds with jaunty vocal lines and mismatched rhythms. The combination is a sensory overload of the best kind. Micachu & The Shapes are set to embark on a massive tour with Apple-made-famous band Chairlift. One specific date of note, Le Poisson Rouge on Oct. 3 as part of the Wordless Music Series. In addition, good old Bjork recently had this to say of Micachu: "I saw her in London, in June, a year ago and I was really excited about her. I thought it was that sort of 'do it yourself' approach, with all these little guitars and her attitude was really fresh… think it's really, really fun. (She)is a bit of a prankster really, isn't she?" Bjork then included their music on her recent record-spinning-session for NPR's Playlist. Nice praise for these UK'ers.
