Arthur Beatrice: "Midland"

Coming on the heels of the rising success of London Grammar, another full-throated female fronted group from the UK - Arthur Beatrice - has delivered an exciting new tune in "Midland." Giving a bit more of a punch than London G, but perhaps lacking some of the darker beauty, the true test for the group will be the live show - which they bring to the US starting March 3rd in Brooklyn, venue TBD, but scheduled right now for Rough Trade - then SXSW and an LA trip. Their album Working Out comes out Tuesday on Harvest in the states.

London Grammar - "Nightcall (Joe Goddard Remix)"

So many times yes. Happy weekend. LG's album "If You Wait" could take the top spot on some of our Best of 2013 lists...stay tuned.

London Grammar: We Get It. We Are On Board.

London Grammar may sound like an underground hip-hop contingent from the 90s, but they are pretty much the opposite. Dropping stunning tracks such as "Strong" "Wasting My Young Years", "Hey Now", "Metal and Dust" and more, this aptly named trio from London have yet to miss the mark. They are readying the release of what will likely be one of our favorite records this year, If You Want which drops 9/9/13. Following that will be a US tour of which we will make every show we can. Clear vocal comparisons can be made to Florence Welsh, but the sprawling production and sound-scapes set these tracks apart. Enjoy. Best consumed via headphones...maybe with drug or pot accompaniment. LG already have a place in our top ten list of 2013.

 Tour dates after the jump.
