If we try and live your livesThe way you wanna be, yeah

Palma Violets - Best of friends 

It's the debut single from Palma Violets, four London chancers who got snapped up by Rough Trade, 'Best Of Friends' has been described as sounding like The Liber-Clash, or Echo & The Bunnymen shooting the shit with Black Lips, or the Modern Lovers fighting Julian Casablancas in some 1978-meets-2001 timewarp. 

This single is released on October 22 via Rough Trade. It's a double-A, with the still-not-online 'Last Of The Summer Wine' the other track. [NME]

A sound that will remind you of being 14 and having a soft spot for everything that Bright Eyes had done whilst being a little confused by why people gave so much of a fuck about Radiohead. [Lost Lost Lost]

Childhood - Haltija 

"Haltija", which is Finnish for 'Holder, Bearer or Occupier', is easily the bands most audacious (and perhaps best) effort to date.

[Video] Crushed Beaks / Grim

Crushed Beaks - Grim

Here's the new vid from Crushed Beaks, for recent single 'Grim'. Directed by Jonny Sanders, it's a more than worthy reworking of those great Italian horror movies from the 70s, complete with locusts, eyeballs and – at around the 50 second mark – what could possibly be a rogue asparagus bunch. Or not, perhaps. In any case it's great. da NME

[Video] Eaux / Luther

 Eaux - Luther (2012) 

Wonderful debut single by newly formed London-based project Eaux, initiated by members of famed electronic/post rock outfit Sian Alice Group. “Luther” is as lush and melody-rich as it is expertly crafted and arranged, a lucid electro ballade in the best of British traditions. The accompanying video is particularly marvelous, set in an archetypical English seaside scenery, at the same time both desolate and consolatory. [#]

ANGELS

LIGHT REFLECTS FROM YOUR SHADOW

IT IS MORE THAN I THOUGHT COULD EXIST

YOU MOVE THROUGH THE ROOM

LIKE BREATHING WAS EASY

IF SOMEONE BELIEVED ME

THEY WOULD BE

AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM

THEY WOULD BE

AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM

THEY WOULD BE

IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

AND EVERYDAY

I AM LEARNING ABOUT YOU

THE THINGS THAT NO ONE ELSE SEES

AND THE END COMES TOO SOON

LIKE DREAMING OF ANGELS

AND LEAVING WITHOUT THEM

AND LEAVING WITHOUT THEM

BEING

AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM

BEING

AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM

BEING

AS IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

AND WITH WORDS UNSPOKEN

A SILENT DEVOTION

I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

AND THE END IS UNKNOWN

BUT I THINK I’M READY

AS LONG AS YOU’RE WITH ME

BEING

AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM

BEING

AS IN LOVE WITH YOU AS I AM

BEING

AS IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
