From the LP: "Being" Available August 5, 2014 in Canada from Paper Bag Records, in US/ROW from Asthmatic Kitty Records. Preorder it here: http://smarturl.it/buy-being Directed by Audrey Bilodeau Fontaine.

Love this new single from Mozart's Sister, real name Caila Thompson-Hannant. The video is weirdly captivating and totally bizarre. Enjoy is taken from the forthcoming album Being, out on 5 August. Thompson-Hannant name-checks Discover-era Daft Punk and Post-era Björk as inspiration but I'd also say their is more than a little nod to Róisín Murphy in the sophisticated pop demonstrated here.

Download: You'll Never Surf Again - Raymond Byron & The White Freighter

​It's baking hot outside and I've just been enjoying this Raymond Byron and The White Freighter cover of Dan Reeder's 'You'll Never Surf Again'. It's a laid back but smokey folk record, the atmosphere thick with resignation. It's not too dissimilar from the original (check that out on Spotify here if you are a member) but it has just a little more sparkle in the treble and the sixties-inspired production.

​This is taken from the album Little Death Shaker, out next month on Asthmatic Kitty, and the press release describes the sound pretty well:

Stripped of all noise influences and focusing on straight-up songs, Little Death Shaker is a record evocative of late nights and dusty parking lots, long drives and boozy hookups. This is the work of a dude who’s spent his youth and young manhood on tour and it comes through in both the music and the lyrics.

​Check out 'You'll Never Surf Again' above in the Soundcloud player and if you like it be sure to grab the free download.
