When we posted a live take of “Reprobate” from Serene-Maneesh’s anticipated new album, we didn’t have a name or exact release date for the Norwegian noisemakers’ sophomore collection. Now we do: S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor hits shelves 3/23 in the US. On top of those details, we can also pass along a 6-minute edit of S-M 2’s noisy kitchen-sink intro “Ayisha Abyss” (and the collection’s 8-song tracklist). We’re told the entire record’s 38 minutes and 45 seconds, so curious to know how much longer “Ayisha Abyss” builds before we collide with “I Just Want To See Your Face.”

Yim Yames told BBC 6 Music My Morning Jacket’s working on their sixth album (”[W]e’re knocking around three or four songs”) and that Monsters Of Folk will “likely” follow their self-title debut with another collection. (Thanks for the tip, Brad.)
Los Angeles’ “Ambassador of Boogie Funk,” DJ, and past Animal Collective shifter Dãm-Funk has put together a smooth, NyQuil-hued, Keytar-against-the-trees video for “Mirrors.” The laid-back nighttime track’s from his ambitious 5-LP debut Toeachizown. As far as the clip: Henry DeMaio-directed. Dãm-Funk woke folks up and got them dancing.

Last week we gave you our 25 Most Anticipated Albums of 2010 and promptly realized we were anticipating more than 25 albums in 2010. A lot more! So we put out some feelers and took some tips and added 44 records to the previous list. Now we are up to lucky 69. The additional artists range from Arcade Fire to Xiu Xiu and include everything from Fleet Foxes, Cat Power, the Strokes, Sleigh Bells, and Pig Destroyer in between. Other albums seem likely but we haven’t the info (think: Battles, Broken Social Scene, etc.). If you’ve got word, use the comments and let ‘em know. As the 2009 Gummy Awards suggested, these past twelve months were good for good music. As our continually expanding wish list suggests: 2010 might not be so shabby either. Take a look.
Massive Attack’s forthcoming Heligoland LP boasts a mighty slate of guest vocalists, none more sultry than the Mazzy star Hope Sandoval. And yeah, sultry is one way to describe the goings on of “Paradise Circus”’s Toby Dye-directed clip. Another way is “Titanic if it were a porn documentary.” That sweet old lady starts the show by describing why she never really made it as a prostitute, which is typical small talk for grandmas, but how she really shined when a camera was on. Sexually speaking. Her reminiscences and descriptions of the sensations of physical attraction and orgasms and are cut with actual footage from her “fuck film,” so strap in for ’70s-styled blowjobs and all the associated trimmings (or, lack there of). Massive Attack and Hope make for a seductively spacious soundtrack, but your attention will likely be directed elsewhere the first time through.
Two warnings: 1) the audio and the visual are NSFW, and 2) the video autostarts after click. But mostly the first thing.
Anytime we’ve mentioned Swedish BTW Fredrik the word “wintry”’s been affixed, so, ’tis the season. Fully self-aware, the band’s releasing a video for “Vinterbarn,” from their forthcoming sophomore full-length Trilogi. It’s a chilly bit of developmental psychology via gusty Swedish baroque pop: in their mother tongue, vinterbarn means people born in the months of October to February (vinter means winter, barn means children). “They usually develop clashing personalities in child groups due to age difference,” we’re told, and the lyric holds that up: “the harder the snow the harder they grow,” a somewhat spooky, seasonally appropriate twist on Jimmy Cliff, set in a video with bleak stop-motion and a little surreality.

According to Spike Jonze, Karen and The Kids’ “All Is Love” is now up for a Grammy because Miley’s “The Climb” wasn’t originally written for a movie after all. Funny/weird/great! Let’s hope they perform it. (via 24bit)
Last night two Austin fans jumped Jay at Emo’s after he announced he’d reached the final song of his set. They were apparently upset he was ending after only 40 minutes. Arrests were made. Jay stormed off mid-song, fingers flying, but nobody was peed on. The story’s at Austin360.
I lived in rural Alberta for a bit (Lethbridge a la “The Dethbridge in Lethbridge”) and can say the advantages compared to my current Brooklyn dwellings include cheaper rent, more time to read, fewer hipsters, the gorgeous prairie landscape, and friends with a canola farm. The Toronto-via-Alberta trio know all this. “Drain The Blood” — not a Distillers cover — comes from their Gummy Award-winning album Hometowns. The video, directed by Ante Kovac, involves all sorts of bugging, secret video feeds, and general espionage. Not sure if it has anything to do with that Olympics Committee clause they signed.
