Singles of the Week (35//20)

1) Pale Saints - Sight of You

 

 

 
Coming ahead of Record Store Day on August 29th 2020, when Pale Saints early-90s Japanese singles compilation 'Mrs. Dolphin' finally gets released on vinyl, director Terako Terao has worked with singer Ian Masters to make a video for ‘Sight of You’. Shot in the Japanese countryside, this new promo is the first official video for one of the band’s most loved songs, coming over 30 years after its original release. This version of ‘Sight of You’ is taken from their 1989 debut EP 'Barging into the Presence of God' (bad 910), with the track being re-recorded a year later when appearing on their celebrated debut album, 'The Comforts of Madness'. This original version then appeared on 1991’s 'Mrs. Dolphin', a sought after Japanese CD compilation that rounded up all the band’s released early material. Directed and edited by: Terako Terao Shoot director: Xavier Senelar Singer: Ian Masters Elephant alien man: Elephant alien man Shoot assistant: Minori Yonetani Finally getting the vinyl pressing fans have long asked for, 'Mrs. Dolphin' is being released this Saturday as part of Record Store Day. Check https://recordstoreday.com for more details and for a list of all participating independent record stores. For this limited pressing, the artwork has been reconfigured by Timothy O’Donnell and collaborator Roy Burns III, who have based their new design on the original CD art whilst also incorporating new photography by Dominic Davies. Pressed on 140g green marbled vinyl, this new edition pays further homage to its roots as it has an obi strip for the tracklisting and comes housed in a Japanese-style mylar bag.

2) Yung - Progress 

 

 

Yung Shord Tobias Guldborg Tarp Frederik Nybo Veile Emil Zethsen The Danish four-piece Yung is back with a new 7” Progress out August 28 via PNKSLM Recordings. After the release of their debut LP A Youthful Dream through Fat Possum Records in 2016, which followed a series of acclaimed EP’s that brought them the attention of Pitchfork, Stereogum, NPR, The FADER and more, and years of touring heavily, the Aarhus based quartet Yung decided to take a step back. After some time spent reassessing themselves and finding common ground to push forward, the band returned to the studio to work on a follow-up to their debut record, and now, four years after the release of the debut, the band is set to share the first fruits of that labour in the shape of the new single "Progress", which is to be released digitally on June 12 and on 7” vinyl alongside the B-side “New Fast Song”. Having refined their sound while embracing a wider palette of inspiration, Progress is also an early taste of Yung’s next full-length (due early 2021) and their first release with new label partner PNKSLM Recordings. credits releases August 28, 2020 Recorded and produced by Neil Robert Young "Progress" mixed by Mathias Bang "New Fast Song" mixed by Neil Robert Young Mastered by Frederik Brandt.

5) Phantom Handshakes - Be Estranged



Phantom Handshakes is a lo-fi, dream pop collaboration between Federica Tassano and Matt Sklar.

Lâche, with their emotional and technical punk rock proves that Trondheim, Norway has more to offer than just prog and metal. They operate within a post-hardcore environment where we find other norwegian bands like JR Ewing and Blood Command, but at the same time Lâche explores the first wave of 80’s emocore. We also get hints of Fugazi and At The Drive In through the driving and soul wrenching output this trio offers.

The band has stood on many stages throughout the country over the last few years, and this EP represents their first year as a performing act. Their passionate live performances will bring these guys far, something this tight and well performed EP carries promises of.

The release is mastered by legend Will Killingsworth (Orchid, Ampere, Ritual Mess etc) and mixed by hardcore-guru Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane, etc). The EP is released on How is Annie records - an independent Norwegian label since 2004 who have put out artists such as Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson, Little Hands of Asphalt, Kråkesølv, Morfar, Sirka Ragnar and Soup amongst others.
