Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds

New Telefon Tel Aviv vinyl! Sadly not completely new material, but still TTA:

"Telefon Tel Aviv have mastered the art of balancing the bitter-sweet romance and occasionally excessive melancholy of so many 80s electro-pop pearls, dusting off their retro sleeves and presenting them in the form of lavish melodic epics. The new EP features the intoxicatingly beautiful album opener “The Birds” in its original version and in two remixes that could hardly be more contrasting: BPC label boss Ellen Allien spontaneously blows away the sombre fog clouds of the original with a crisp house beat and vibrant acid sequences.
Ghostly International co-founder and self-confessed Brian Eno fan Matthew Dear has already revealed his distinct fondness for sinister soundscapes on his own album Black City and his remixes for The Chemical Brothers, The XX and The Drums. His version of “The Birds” occupies ambiguous stylistic territory, combining amiable singer-songwriter elements with electronica of considerable atmospheric density. With the track “The Sky Is Black” TTA deliver a song that BPC aficionados have already encountered on the BPitch Werkschau compilation. Getting its first EP release here, The Sky Is Black follows on seamlessly from The Birds with its lavish use of fabulous hooks and atmospherics. None other than Cocteau Twins co-founder Robin Guthrie makes an appearance here as co-author, gitarist and soul mate – the perfect soundtrack, and not just for bleak winter days and frosty nights..."

Telefon Tel Aviv - The Sky is Black

From the Telefon Tel Aviv Facebook page:

"OH hey also I just got the masters for the "Sky is Black" EP that will be coming out soon on BPitch Control. It's bawss because Ellen Allien did a remix and Matthew Dear did one, it's like a cover. Both are great. And now "Sky" gets a formal release, after sitting around for about five years."

Apparat, making of "The Devil's Walk" pt.1

Part 1 of the making of "The Devil's Walk", Apparat's forthcoming album on Mute (release date September 27th.) The recording began with a group of friends joining Sascha Ring (Apparat) in Sayulita, Mexico for a couple months to escape the cold winters of Berlin and Chicago. The friends included Joshua Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv, Alfredo Nogueira (who joined Joshua live on the last Telefon Tel Aviv tour), Carsten Aermes (Phon.o), and remix master Jörg Wähner (Park Frequency). Sounds like the perfect setting! Check it:
