(Syro is boring, but I didn't expect anything.)

One of my favorite things about this page is finding new music. I like every song posted on this last page, and I've never heard any of them before today.

And thanks to Kurta, Sony Music sent me the new Leonard Cohen album, which I am enjoying immensely. Out next week.

Happy to hear it, Faust!

Here's something a little different, the great new track "How Many," from Iceage's forthcoming, third album Plowing Into The Fields Of Love.



For some background, Iceage is a Danish outfit that landed in 2011. And seemingly upon arrival, the outre/punk corners of the Internet lost their collective shit. And for good reason: this was a band whose wire-tight punk stylings were coupled with videos of impossibly kinetic-appearing live shows, all coming at an impossibly young age (18-19, collectively). In their home city, an entire scene mobilized, galvanized by their brute power. In broad strokes, these may look like the familiar nuts and bolts of fleeting hype, but somehow, on this side of the Atlantic, there was a sense that this particular band was worth it. That sense was right, of course. I saw Iceage's first show at the now defunct venue 285 Kent in Williamsburg and there was no denying the air's tightness, the sheer excitement these kids generated, the power of this band. Their outstanding debut album New Brigade registered like a nihilistic clarion call; their followup You're Nothing expanded, surged, refined.

Album Three is imminent, and things are taking a dramatic turn. From the excellent singles the band's released to date‚"Forever" and "The Lord's Favorite" and now the stunning "How Many," the politics are now turned inward, on a personal scale. These songs are detailing relationships between mind and body; between the bodies of lovers. (Maybe the frictional, lovely album title Plowing Into The Fields Of Love was a hint.)

"How Many" is a fascinating pivot from a compositional standpoint, too, with acoustic piano high in the mix and guitars darting about underneath, before things swing into a lush half-time hook. "An alliance of body and mind, such a perfect lover I could become." Heavy, heady, and hearty.

This album is shaping up to be something very special.

I've been listening to a lot of John T Gast, from East London, who's worked with Inga Copeland and Dean Blunt among others. I picked up several cd-rs from his website, great stuff. http://drith.co.uk/
