DEAD GAZE - TAKE ME HOME OR DIE ALONE


Firetalk, a quite small new label that's got attention thanks to be the one who released one of the most admired singles of the year, Tennis' South Carolina (long sold out but available again for a very limited time), has been since then releasing lots of records as if it tried to catch up with other non-stop labels like Captured Tracks or Transparent. One of their coming singles is Dead Gaze's Take me Home or Die Alone / Emanuel Can't Come Close Enough. If you are familiar with Dead Gaze through his tape on Mirror Universe Tapes or his split single with Gray Things you'd already be familiar with his sound. His voice sounds like if it was recorded on the telephone, always using an effect to make it sound distorted and distant, and the music sometimes sound as if you were listening to something after having taking too many drugs (try listening to Back and Forth, for instance). On this single though, although the same voice effect is used on both tracks, and the drums on the A side sound pretty distorted, he sounds slightly less kaleidoscopic, even more on the B side, an acoustic ballad that even sounds tender.
The single will be out on November 23.

TENNIS - SOUTH CAROLINA


Tennis is a Denver husband and wife duo with a love for 60s pop Summertime melodies. To prove it, they will release their first single, South Carolina, on Fire BoldTalk. The bad news is that is already sold out from the label, so if you want it, that I'm sure you do, you should check on your favourite record shop for one of the 300 copies they will release. They will also release something, not sure yet what is going to be, on Underwater Peoples, so keep on checking to know what is going to be.
They have plenty of good tunes already that you can find on some blogs so sure it's going to be interesting enough to get it.
