ALEXANDER MCQUEEN PRE-FALL 2013 COLLECTION

Pre-fall lines are the more understated of all seasons; not as striking and whimsical as a summer line, nor as heavy and elaborate as a winter range. Practicality is key, when one takes to making clothing for commercial, day-to-day purposes rather than creating elaborate designs that make a statement. Or is it? Sarah Burton for...

The Lumerians - 'Dogon Genesis'

The Lumerians are psych/space/kraut rockers influenced by African, South American as well as Turkish psychedelic treasures of the '70s and share an interest for the occult -- probably reasons for their out-of-this-world qualities. The five Oaklanders manage to create a sound that connects past and future unwoundedly and craft a listening experience that transports to a place certainly not found in this world. Here's 'Dogon Genesis' from their new album with the oh-so-fitting title The High Frontier, we'll see ya up there!






Mount Kimbie - 'Made to Stray'

'Made to Stray' off Mount Kimbie's second album Cold Spring Fault Less Youth (released 28 May) is a definite let's-dance-all-night-and-never-go-home-again anthem that'll put many party souls into mischief mode this summer.






Deafkid - 'Vigilante'

Chris Lockington and Flo Sauvaire, who worked with experimental hip hop artist Ghostpoet make up Deafkid, who blend electronica, experimental and pop genres. While their former tracks were soft and accoustic driven, this one belts out some noisy prog party beats.





Queens of the Stone Age - 'Keep Your Eyes Peeled'

Reformed yet again, this time with bassist Michael Shuman (Wires on Fire, Mini Mansions) and multi-instrumentalist Dean Fertita (The Waxwings, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather), Queens of the Stone Age keep up the good work with their recent sixth studio album ...Like Clockwork. Here's 'Keep Your Eyes Peeled', a powerfully riffed psych rock tune that's firmly rooted in the wild and carefree '70s.






GAPS - 'Cascade'

Ed and Rachel are two school friends from Brighton who go by the name of GAPS. Their recently dropped track 'Cascade' is part of an AA 7″ on Sexbeat records to be released on 15 July that starts off leaving the listener in the dark but culminates most beautifully into a full blown beat party.






Rejjie Snow - ‘294’

Rejjie Snow is a Dublin-hailing rapper, whose new track '294' is a rock-riff-sporting hip hop song that opens with a reference to Jimi Hendrix's belief in an 'electric church' and has some killer lyrics such as, 'Catch him on the moon while he's pissing on some horse shit'.
