Music Go Music make their London debut. Verdict? If these guys get on the festival circuit next year (or 1979, either’s good) then the world will be their oyster.

BLK JKS – After Robots
Over twenty minutes there is mystery and intrigue. Over forty-five, BLK JKS just show too much of their hand. Adam Nelson reviews a missed opportunity.

[Video] Music Go Music: ‘Warm In The Shadows’
The trio from LA create infectious pop music that is the missing link between ABBA and St Etienne. In a word, they are incredible. Watch the video for new single ‘Warm In The Shadows’ out on August 10th via Mercury/Secretly Canadian.

Magnolia Electric Co. – Josephine
Molina claims to have written six albums in the last three years, all of them waiting for release. Providing he keeps the quality to the standard of the first half of this album, he’s going to remain a very hard man to ignore.

BLK JKS to release debut album in September
BLK JKS highly-anticipated debut album, After Robots, will be released in September on Secretly Canadian.

Foreign Born – Person To Person
Does the World need another “American folk rock band”? Well, if they sound as good as Foreign Born, then the answer is a resounding YES! Rich Hughes reviews.

Introducing: Foreign Born
Los Angeles based Foreign Born release their new album Person To Person this week via Secretly Canadian. We fired off some questions to Matt Popieluch and Lewis Pesacov. Plus, sample two songs from the album inside.

Richard Swift – Atlantic Ocean
Singer-songwriter, lo-fi champion and sometime electronic experimentalist Richard Swift’s latest melds some of his eclectic interests into a boyuant set.
Zero Boys – History Of (Reissue)
Along with the excellent 1982 Zero Boys LP ‘Vicious Circle’ (reviewed yesterday), Secretly Canadian are also reissuing ‘History Of’, which acts as a document of the Indiana hardcore band.
Zero Boys – Vicious Circle (Reissue)
Secretly Canadian bring us the first of two reissues from 1980′s Indianapolis hardcore outfit Zero Boys. Andy Johnson reviews.
Frida Hyvönen – Silence Is Wild
Possibly the only time Swedish songstress Frida Hyvönen’s songs will EVER be compared to the vast musical output of Hulk
Hogan. Adam Elmahdi takes a closer look at the sophomore from the former touring partner of Jens Lekman.
Xmas Advent [19th] :: Windsor for the Derby
“These fellas are the best unsigned band in Austin right now. They’re all about lo-fi Factory-style synth rock doodling with an extreme groove.” says Jason McNeely of Windsor For The Derby on fellow Texan’s Toko-Ri Get High.
