NEW VIDEO FROM CLOUD NOTHINGS: HEY COOL KID
Discosalt Video Of The Week 10/10/10: “Hey Cool Kid” , the debut single from Wichita Recordings newest snot nosed lo-fi pop signings Cloud Nothings, is out 18th October on 7″ and download. The video premise is simple: Nerd creates basketball monster capable of insane zone defense. Monster drops a leg. Scoreboard Melts. Fire. Confetti. It’s a nerd rewrite of Highschool where the nerd gets the attention of the cool kids, defeats the jock and throws his own ticker tape party to celebrate. Check out the video below:

NEW VIDEO FROM PISSED JEANS: FALSE JESII PT. 2
Sub Pop‘s Sludgey Punk Noise masters Pissed Jeans may have dropped this ultra low budget music video for the King of Jeans opening track “False Jesii Part 2”, but just don’t expect them to be excited about it. Stepping outside the bands typical rowdy stage performance, they deliver a lackluster performance, taking a dig at the conventional music video. And yes, the drummer is using a slice of pizza and a beer as sticks.
MINITEL ROSE RELEASE SECOND ALBUM: ATLANTIQUE
French electro trio Minitel Rose have teamed up with the legendary K7! Records to release their much anticipated second album Atlantique on the 22nd November. The follow up to their critically acclaimed first album, The French Machine (Futur, 2008) is an interesting affair. The bands love of rock influenced drums and electro synths means that their sound falls between the two genres sounding retro and futuristic at the same time.
Minitel Rose – Wild Birds by Sainted PR
While The French Machine was largely the product of computer technology, we can see the growth in the music of Minitel Rose. Firstly through their experimentation with analog equipment on Atlantique and also through the development of their fantastic stage show. Currently Minitel Rose’s live show consists of a drummer and three live synths. “It’s a real rock gig. We use synths but no computers or tapes. It’s all energy and sweat,” Quentin says.
Minitel Rose have just taught climate change a lesson: only one season is ever worth living. A never-ending summer with a clear blue sky, cradled with Atlantique’s electronic flows.

NEW VIDEO FROM WE ARE ANIMAL: BLACK MAGIC
In Snowdonia, North Wales Owain Ginsberg used to trek up to quarries and forests with nothing but an 8 track recording machine and his guitar for company. Next came actual, physical band members in the form of the Hamer brothers (CASTLES), Sion Edwards on drums and Liam Simpson on keys. The strength of their demos alone attracted taste makers such as Huw Stephens and by the time their debut single came out they found themselves playlisted on Radio One, NME Radio and XFM. Their live shows truly live up to the bands name and bagged them slots with Radio One’s Big Weekend in Bangor and the SWN festival amongst others.
