| The Police honoured in France The Police have received a high honour from France today (October 1) for their contribution to the arts. The rock trio, who played two sold-out reunion shows in Paris this weekend, were honoured today as chevaliers of the Order of Arts and Letters at a ceremony in the French capitol. "We are very happy to be among your knights," said frontman Sting, speaking in French. French Culture Minister Christine Albanel praised the band for the "new sound" that they generated, and expressed "France's full admiration and recognition" for The Police's music, reports the Associated Press. Sting added that the band have long been great admirers of French culture, so it was an added privilege to receive the recognition. |
Frank Black reveals details of two new albums Pixies frontman Frank Black has two new albums on the way. 'Bluefinger' -- a new album inspired by Dutch painter Herman Brood -- is slated for a September release via Cooking Vinyl. This album will see Black returning to the name Black Francis -- a moniker he used during his early days with the Pixies. The album's first single, 'Threshold Apprehension', will be available as a digital download beginning May 7. It will then be released as a limited edition 7" single and a digital download bundle beginning May 25. Speaking about the new album, Black said, "I used a couple of Herman Brood's painting titles for songs of my own for my new record 'Bluefinger'. "I have my own impressions as to what his painting 'Threshold Apprehension' was all about. My song 'Threshold Apprehension' has nothing to do with the painting except that it, and my record 'Bluefinger', has everything to do with my impressions of Herman Brood," he said. Black is also set to release a greatest hits album on June 12, entitled 'Best of Frank Black 93 - 03'. It is meant to serve as a narrative of Black's solo career during the 10-year period. |
American Music Club to release 'The Golden Age' 'I don?t intend to make songs dark or difficult. I want to make the best f*cked up pop songs out there.' So says Mark Eitzel, lead singer and songwriter of the legendary American Music Club, who will be releasing their 9th studio album, The Golden Age, on Monday 4th February 2008. Featuring 13 songs, The Golden Age exudes an understated brilliance, and sees AMC moving away from the fragmented studio sound of their last, critically acclaimed opus Love Songs For Patriots, to a lighter more cohesive sound. Cited as 'America?s greatest living lyricist' (The Guardian), Eitzel is on top of his game once again. From the beautiful simplicity in 'All My Love', the pure twisted pop of 'Who You Are', to 'Windows of the World' an ode to the World Trade Centre, and the mariachi waltz of 'That?s Not Really You', The Golden Age is yet another triumphant return to form. American Music Club will be doing a full UK tour in February 2008, in support of The Golden Age. More details to follow , |
