One of our favourite new bands is back to work – they just released their first ever full length “Mondo” yesterday. More Electric Guest on chromemusic.

I’m not good at following up on my Twitter account so I kinda missed the mysterious leak of the new Ting Tings record and didn’t buy it till yesterday.
Damn!
I was a bit disappointed at first, but that’s only because I scan new records in a can-I-play-that-at-the-club-mode.
So after listening to the record for a few times I gotta admit the we-arrange-the-lp-like-a-playlist thing totally works for me and I really like the diversity of the LP.
Don’t worry though, even after a 4 year gap you can still tell it’s a Ting Tings original for every song (also you can tell that part of it has been recorded during their Berlin stay).
It appears the record company was so pleased with the first demos that they (The Ting Tings) deleted them completely and started recording completely new songs.
I guess it’s only fitting the cover has been made from fan art. Also it explains what took them 4 years to complete the new record. I kinda imagine the look of their record company’s dude at the phone when telling him like this.
Of course everybody has been waiting for Soul Killing but my secret favorite song would either be One by One (listen below) or the previously released Hands (which only is included with the Deluxe Edition, I think). The Deluxe Edition btw comes with a bunch of remixes plus additional songs. It contains 19 tracks compared to 10 which come with the standard edition.

…not counting the countless tracks we all came to know and love over the past 3 years. About damn time i say, and i just recalled their very first show in germany they played with chromemusic in 2010. Hope to see them play again anytime soon. So so yourself a favour and if you only cop one record this year, make sure to get their debut album “Breakfast” via itunes + the free single of the week. Plus another additional Xaphoon Jones remix of phenomenal band St Lucia, to show his musical versatility as a producer… as if you didn’t already know :)

The Internets debut Album “Purple Naked Ladies” has so far been my favourite piece of longplayer music this year, even though it was already (at least partially) on everybody’s heary things last year, due to two already great videos. This is one of those albums where you definitely need the entire album to experience the richness of the sound design and its unique atmosphere and it sounds like nothing else out there. Nonetheless here are two songs to get an idea. Fast Lane was the prominent video from last year and the remix is a non album tune from their free Bonus Songs Ep, so do yourself a favour and go and get both. PS you have surely heard “Fast Lane” & “She don’t give a fuck” if you have been at any YUM YUM party in 2012. Absolute favourites of ours!
