Childish Gambino. New Single "All the Shine"and London Show 25/26th January

With his first 2 London shows selling out in a matter of minutes and acclaim for his album “Camp” growing by the day, Childish Gambino, one of the most exciting emerging talents in music, releases his new Glassnote/Island single “All The Shine” on February 6th. The shows, which promise to be among the hottest tickets of the year so far, will take place at the appropriately named London club CAMP on January 25th and 26th . “All The Shine” is taken from “Camp”, Gambino’s first album proper and follows a couple of acclaimed mixtapes and a growing reputation as one of the freshest and most interesting mcs in hip hop. The album was produced by Swedish composer and long-time collaborator Ludwig Göransson, and the 13 tracks also include “Bonfire”, future single “Heartbeat”, “Backpackers”, “L.E.S.”, and standout closer “That Power”.

There’s no doubt about it –Florence Welch is back with an almighty bang having shipped a massive 1 MILLION albums worldwide in just two weeks since the release of her global smash of a follow up record, ‘Ceremonials’.

I’m not a confrontational pe

CLOCK OPERA Single Release: “Once And For All”

Continuing the build up to the release of their debut album, sonic experimentalists Clock Opera will release their single “Once And For All” on Moshi Moshi/Island on 30th January 2012. Epic and euphoric in equal measure, it epitomises the band’s signature sound of looping samples, layered textures and soaring vocals and demonstrates yet again their skill in audio autopsy - deconstructing and reassembling sounds and words to startling effect. Lyrically “Once and for All” recalls memories of being a teenager and the myriad complex and extreme emotions that we experience during those transitional years. Also included in the package is a remix by arguably one of the most devoted pioneers of experimental and electronic music, Mr Andrew Weatherall. After recent releases of “Belongings” and “Lesson No.7”, “Once And For All” further cements Clock Opera’s growing reputation as one of the most innovative, original and exciting bands in the UK right now. Live they continue to go from strength to
