Fantastic video for the lead track from Here We Go Magic's upcoming second album. Directed by Nat Livingston Johnston, apparently using a 1984 JVC Videomovie camera.

Ham Sandwich - The Naturist
New single from the Kells (now)four-piece, who have been working on the follow-up to their very impressive debut Carry the Meek. Good stuff, although it's got more than a passing resemblance to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 'Dudley'.

HEALTH remixes
Certain bands seem to lend themselves to remixes more than others, and LA noise-rockers HEALTH are one of them. Perhaps most famously, Crystal Castles' reshaping of 'Crimewave' was a massive success, while most majestic of all for me was CFCF's take on 'Before Tigers'. Their latest album Get Colour has led to a plethora of quality remixes, many of which will be compiled on the forthcoming Disco 2 (June 22nd). Also included below is the new track proper from HEALTH that will be included on Disco 2, 'USA Boys'.

Eels, Friendly Fires, The Fall for Electric Picnic
Via On The Record, new additions to the Electric Picnic bill:
Eels
Friendly Fires
Laurent Garnier
The Fall
Fight Like Apes
Bonobo
Stornoway
Channel One
Friendly Fires are a terrific festival band, as anyone who saw them at Oxegen last year will testify. And who knows what incarnation of eels will show up? A hard-rocking revue or the acoustic/strings package? Judging by the aesthetic of this year's End Times album, it may well be the latter.
