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.

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.

3) Kraków Loves Adana - The Ocean Between Us

 

 "I wrote this song last summer, stuck at home, scrolling through people's fancy holiday pictures, realizing that I am not a summer person, never was, never will be. This song is for all you goths with that summertime sadness.💔" Deniz Cicek & Robert Heitmann Kraków Loves Adana formed in 2006 after eyeing each other for months at the same nightclubs in Germany. The group’s guitar-driven electronic ballads echo dream pop with a melancholic edge. Taken from our upcoming album "DARKEST DREAMS" - out Sept. 25th
