Brand Neu!
‘Brand Neu!’ a new compilation in homage to 70s Krautrockers NEU!, is out today, 18th May 2009. This release features contributions from artists influenced by the band from Primal Scream to LCD Soundsystem, Foals to Oasis. The album is the first release on Feraltone, a new label founded by Gronland’s former Managing Director, Rene Renner.
Youtube
PRS and Youtube have been having a few fisticups recently but thankfully things seem to be sorting themselves out, which means better pay for artists that have their work on the monster of a site. Horrah!

Yeah I guess you're kinda right. I think American Football were'nt as 'obvious' with the mathyness. They always felt like a melodic indie band to me. Wherease TTNG are very mathy. [view article]
