sisters cocorosie have signed with reknowned indie label sub pop to release their fourth forhcomig album, grey oceans. their previous label was touch and go records. the new album is out may 11th and it’ll be one to listen to. the globetrotting ladies recorded the album in buenos aires, melbourne, berlin, new york and paris.
it has been 18 years, let me repeat, 18 years since public image ltd. has played in north america. if i were born 18 years ago, i’d be able to buy cigaerettes now and smoking my way to college. they will make their comeback at this year’s coachella april 16th and now they have announced a north american tour to boot. holy.cow. is right. it’s been 30 years since they first reached the u.s. on american bandstand, if you can believe. they’ll start the tour the day after coachella in san francsico and will finish in new york in may after 16 scheduled shows. if i can hear “this is not a love song” live, i might just have to do something crazy.

zola jesus – stridulum – night
this song is goosebumps incarnate. this is one dark and talented lady. stridulum, the follow up to the spoils, promises to be a goth goddess’ rise to fame, or at least a lot more people knowing who she is. the spoils was a great album, but jesus, this song is a wrencher and i’m looking forward to the forthcoming ep like a blood thirsty creature of the night.
