“Half Heart Necklace” is the new single to be taken from Allo Darlin’s latest album We Come From the Same Place (out now on Fortuna POP!). The third full-length recording from the much loved Anglo-Australian four-piece is made up of smart, beautiful pop music, with lyrics that resonate with experience and melodies that chime, echo and soar.

Unusually for Allo Darlin', "Half Heart Necklace" is written from someone else’s perspective, a rare occurance among songwriter Elizabeth Morris' catalogue of intimate, heart-wrenching songs, and taps into a dark story from her youth in a small Australian town. As she explains; “This is a song written from the point of view of a girl from my home town who did quite a strange thing when I was growing up. There had been some murders, and this girl who was my age was missing and presumed killed. It turned out she had been hiding for years in her boyfriend´s cupboard, and she was charged for wasting police time and there was a big brouhaha. Half Heart Necklace is a Twin Peaks thing. Sometimes I think my hometown is like Twin Peaks in more ways than one.”

Allo Darlin’ were formed after Australian Elizabeth Morris arrived in London and bought a ukulele from the Duke of Uke shop in Shoreditch. She began writing music and was soon joined by fellow Australian Bill Botting (bass), Paul Rains (guitar), and Michael Collins (drums). Their debut album attracted many plaudits including being named No. 2 record of the year by online retailer eMusic, and a glowing 1,200 word essay by Robert Forster of The Go-Betweens in the Australian critical magazine, The Monthly. Their second album "Europe" scored 8.1 on Pitchfork, was made USA Today’s Album Of The Week, and garnered praise from Uncut, Q, NME, The Quietus and The Guardian. It was also named Rough Trade Shop’s Album Of The Month, where it went on to become the biggest selling album of the year. The band have been playlisted at BBC 6Music and have recorded sessions for Lauren Laverne, Marc Riley and John Kennedy (XFM), as well being Steve Lamacq’s personal pick for BBC Introducing. Their releases to date, along with their joyous and effervescent live shows, have seen them build an intensely loyal and ever-increasing fanbase.

The new album combines the eagerness, urgency and immediacy of their 2010 self-titled debut with the contemplation, sophistication and ambition of their 2012 follow-up "Europe," and yet it goes beyond either both sonically and in the songs. It was written at a time of considerable change for songwriter Elizabeth Morris, a time during which she fell in love, moved to Italy and got married. The truism is that third albums are difficult beasts, but by remaining true to themselves Allo Darlin’ have side-stepped the pitfalls to produce a wonderful record - thoughtful and exciting and exquisitely played – that will please their existing army of fans and newcomers alike.


Allo Darlin' - Half Heart Necklace

well the first time you lied i tried to be cool but I ain’t no fool
the second time around you made me cry how can you be so cruel

you’re like a wild child running free in the streets but you ain’t no jewel
you’re gonna get what’s coming to you if you don’t play by the rules

how can you be so cruel

no time to tell you
no time to lie
no time to love you
no time cry

well the third time you threw my heart away i swore i’d make you pay
the fourth time around it knocked me down i came back anyway

you’re like a while child running free in the streets but you ain’t got me
you’re gonna get what’s coming to you baby in the end you’ll see 

how can you be so cruel

no time to tell you
no time to lie
no time to love you
no time cry

No Time

single for our album OWN IT, out 10/7. 

this song is dedicated to my men's group: love ya, boys.

it's my turn to check-in
how to begin to start
every part of me's moving
can't take it apart

I'm fossilizing
I wanna leave tough art
all I feel is the motion
can't take it apart

I'm done trying to polish up
who's perfect, perfect, perfect after all?
how could I get tight with you
without my flaws?

I'm in the shower
I'm gonna come out clean
let's do some slick behavior
lather rinse repeat

I love support groups
I like attention cheap
could you make selflessness
feel easier for me?

I'm done trying to fool you twice
who's perfect, perfect, perfect after all?
how could I get tight with you
without my flaws?

would you let me get loud with you?
would you let me break out with you?

I've turned a corner
I'm gonna prove past doubt
before you think I'm hopeless
you should feel it out

THE BLIND SHAKE
CELEBRATE YOUR WORTH
133GONE
out OCTOBER 21st, 2016

The Blind Shake, three intense men from Minneapolis creating
dense, mystical music: in 1974, Bernie Taupin, feeling on top
of the world as Elton John’s “Rocket Man” soared up the charts
in 1972, suffered a sudden sense of vertigo outside the Spanish
villa where he was vacationing. In a beam of black light he saw
and heard the future of the future, a loud vision of The Blind
Shake, making music that made Elton John’s “starman as everyman”
song seem like so much pastel tissue paper, wet and dissolving
in a pretty porcelain toilet.

The real deal, 'Celebrate Your Worth' is an intense web of
connections of bands and sounds unknown to Taupin, strange
sounds from Chrome through Bailter Space through Michael
Yonkers and John Reis and with tendrils extending throughout
an incredible universe of fantastic unknown bands and sounds.
“What the hell am I doing?” Taupin cries, now on his knees,
staring at the sky. Witness the Blind Shake in all their mystical,
wonderful strangeness and energy.

Urochromes continue an amazing run with the release of their first fully realized extended player, Night Bully. The A-Side is comprised of 3 full throttle and perfectly condensed punk songs, while the B-Side charts new territory for the group. Searing opener “My Dickies” is a playground for Dick Riddick, one of contemporary punk’s stand-out guitarists and a true master of tone. Here he shoots for the rafters with an ascending line that serves as the track’s central hook.  The creepy whispered vocals and banging electronic drums of “My Disposition” introduce one of Jackieboy’s doomed characters swimming in self-doubt. “Confront Ya” explores adoration with a promise of continued indifference (“They love you in West Mass…Ahhhhhhh”). 

The B-Side opener “Night Bully” codifies Urochromes’ love of industrial punks, Chrome with an arrangement as mechanical as it is maniacal. Dick Riddick creates a constantly changing wave of texture over pulsing electronics. The whispered vocal style introduced in “Confront Ya” is back, this time asking “So you think I have a funny face?” Another of Jackieboy’s jealous, wounded characters this time baiting the affirmative response.

The ender is a remix of “Night Bully” by electronic gloom masters, Boy Harsher. This track reimagines the song as a lost noir-wave classic while still retaining the menace of the original. The inclusion of this remix shows Urochromes’ disdain for “the rules” but also reminds us that the drum machine was there from the start – this has always been a punk band with one foot in electronic noise.

MENACE BEACH
NEW SINGLE – GIVE BLOOD
MEMPHIS INDUSTRIES

From the album Lemon Memory - preorder 

Order on CD / yellow LP with scratch n sniff sleeve from : http://smarturl.it/lemonMBSite

Leeds noisemakers Menace Beach release their new single Give Blood on the 20th January 2017, the single drops ahead of their sophomore album Lemon Memory out on the same day. 
Give Blood couples the raucous and scuzzy energy of Menace Beach with perhaps their most pop moment to date. Written in Ibiza, the song was the first track they recorded in Sheffield with producer Ross Orton for their album Lemon Memory. The early moments in the studio can define the whole recording process but the immediate nature of Give Blood was the perfect way to kick off the session. Lead-singer Ryan Needham elaborates.

“Starting a session with people you haven’t worked with before has the potential to be a bit daunting, but by the time we blasted through this (Give Blood) a few times it was instantly apparent there was a strong vibe there and we just rode that wave to the end of the session.” 

Menace Beach will be touring the UK as a five-piece band throughout January and February next year. Dates as follows:

31 Jan, Sheffield, The Picture House
01 Feb, Leicester, The Cookie  
02 Feb, Birmingham, Hare & Hounds  
03 Feb, Cardiff, Clwb Ifor Bach 
04 Feb, Southampton, The Joiners  
06 Feb, Oxford, Bullingdon Arms 
07 Feb, Brighton, The Hope & Ruin  
08 Feb, London, Moth Club  
09 Feb, Cambridge, The Portland Arms
10 Feb, Liverpool, The Magnet  
11 Feb, Manchester, Deaf Institute  
14 Feb, Glasgow, Broadcast  
15 Feb, Edinburgh, Sneaky Pete's 
16 Feb, Newcastle, The Cluny 
17 Feb, Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
