[News] Daft Punk Premiere 'Random Access Memories' in Wee Waa, Australia

Friday night saw the residents of Wee Waa, Australia (population 2,000) celebrating the premiere of Daft Punk's highly anticipated new album Random Access Memories. The town played host to an incredible launch party, which served as the closing of the 79th Annual Wee Waa Show. While Daft Punk themselves weren't in attendance, the citizens of the town had a huge party lit up by a LED dancefloor and massive disco ball. Below, you can watch a flyover clip of the party grounds. Impressive, no?

Residents of Wee Waa were even gifted with a limited edition version of Random Access Memories (via @McCabeRadar):

[Listen] The Weeknd - "Kiss Land"

It's always nice to have some new music from Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, and today we get some and boy oh by is it nice! He's released the title track to his new album, Kiss Land, and it's 7 minutes and 41 seconds of his fantasies and dreams. It's a psychedelic, sexy, and it's also a step forward for his style which is sounding ever more refined and beautiful to the ear.

Little is known about his new album but hey. He could surprise drop it at any time going from his track record. For now just enjoy the track below. 

[News] Leeds Label Brew Records call it a day...

A sad, sad day this way comes. It may be Friday and you're getting excited for some post work beers but hold a moments silence for Leeds label Brew Records. Sadly they have decided to call it a day after 6 years and 27 releases. Some of which have been my favourites in recent years and turned me onto some of my now favourite bands.

Currently home to Kong, Humanfly, Blacklisters, Castrovalva and Nine Black Alps, Brew had also previously released records by Hawk Eyes, These Monsters, Shield Your Eyes and That Fucking Tank they'll be closing their doors. Check out their statement below along with a nice playlist to commemorate the occasion and all the hard work they've put in.

We've had the pleasure of releasing some incredible records over the years and have been fortunate to work with so many amazing people. We'd like to thank everyone that has ever supported us, bought a record or a t-shirt and spread our music in general. Humanfly's 'Awesome Science' is our final release and we couldn't think of a better record to go out on which sums up what we love about physical records both musically and aesthetically. The label will still remain active for a while as we wind things down and continue to take and fulfil orders.

To celebrate/commiserate we are currently running a big sale on our store where every CD/vinyl/shirt/poster (except the new Humanfly album) is now reduced in price. For the next 2 weeks all our releases are set to 'pay what you like' on bandcamp too (except the new Humanfly album) so feel free to explore our back catalog and if you feel like paying some money we won't complain.

The rest won't last long, though, as the San Francisco rocker is releasing the follow-up to Twins on August 20th. It's titled Sleeper (haha). Watch the album announcement trailer below.
