Remington super 60: Time To Breathe

Norwegian soft-spoken indie band Remington super 60 are back Time To Breathe, a single that is a little louder than their usual dreampop musings. Chrisoffer Schou and singer Elisabeth Thorsen are no longer a couple - they broke up five years ago, which was documented on their Nouvelle Noveau EP - but the urge to keep collaborating never left them. Finding themselves as individuals wasn't easy, a process they captured with this luscious, soul-searching track.

Time To Breathe is released via Café Superstar Recordings. Buy it from their website.

Spottiswoode: "I'm A Worrier" video

English singer-songwriter Spottiswoode has unveiled a video for I'm A Worrier, a track from his new album It Wasn't In The Script: He has to play another part now, being a father, and as millions of guys before him, he is making it up as he goes along. As a seasoned artist he can give voice to his feelings through song, turning personal hassles into a bunch of snapshots that have a universal appeal."

Atsuko Chiba: Atsuko Chiba

Montréal based experimental post-rock Atsuko Chiba went into the studio without a set course or even half finished compositions when they went to work on their fourth album. That could have led to endless tinkering, but they quickly discovered a common ground: to go for sprawling songs without a big, look-mam-no-hands finale. The six tracks are mood pieces about subjects that are close to their heart, with subtle rhythmical shifts, vocals buried in the mix, and a prominent role for the bass to keep it altogether.

It must have been a liberating experience for the band that this free-flowing approach paid off so well. Making it a self-titled album was a good choice. It is both a fresh start and the culmination of their career until now. There are no rules for being creative. If 70s Krautrock had been sprinkled with a seasoning of 80s leftfield New Wave and early Porcupine Tree, it would have sounded like this.

Gabriel Vicéns: "Vejigante" video

Composer and guitarist Gabriel Vicéns has unveiled a video for Vejigante, a track from his new album Niebla: "Throughout the album he mixes abstract bits with almost easy on the ears melodies. Niebla might mean "fog", but Vicéns and his musicians share a joint clear vision: to create music where tone and risk taking are equal partners to create a mesmerising listening experience. Feel free to wander around in his world and get lost in a good way." The animation was made by Poli Marichal.

Alien Chicks: 5/4

The cover art for London-based progressive power-punk trio Alien Chicks's new single 5/4 is a dead giveaway. Yes, after a bunch of well executed mayhem they switch to an off-kilter bit of Teddy Bears' Picnic. Why? Well, because they can, and because getting their audience on the wrong foot is very much part of their avant-noise idea of having fun and making sharp left turns whenever they feel like it. Most of the song is played in 5/4 obviously, but they mix it up with 6/4 as well to frustrate the people who are trying to dance to it.
