New Florence and The Machine EP Out Today !

Our sister label IMASOUND Records have released Florence and The Machine’s new EP “A Lot of Love. A Lot of Blood!”. It’s available on iTunes and on 12-inch vinyl in record stores across America… so go out and grab it!!!

The EP is a collection of her past two previously released singles (“Kiss With A Fist” and “Dog Days Are Over”) as well as a new remix of Dog Days by the very talented Optimo.
 

There’s some great press around the EP (look out for features in your favorite magazines in the coming months).

“England’s Florence Welch comes equipped with a soulful voice that…invokes the punk-inspired arrivals of the early ’90s. Welch can purr like Elastica’s Justine Frischmann and below like PJ Harvey, but in between there’s a falsetto that flows straight from the heart.”

- Under The Radar Magazine (8/10 review)

IAMSOUND Act Suckers Reviewed On Pitchfork

An increasingly whispered-about Brooklyn four-piece with a warehouse-commune aesthetic that Pitchfork’s Ryan Dombal accurately described as “fourth-generation hippie flotsam,” Suckers’ debut, four-song EP kneels before sonic idols (David Byrne, Isaac Brock) that actually share little in common with the band’s sartorial affectations. Where most EPs put their best foot forward, here Suckers close with their strongest song to date: “It Gets Your Body Movin’”, which does just as the song’s title suggests and more– it gets you singing as well.

Call it a strong first impression and mixtape ammo. Built around a base of tribal drums and waterlogged guitars, “It Gets Your Body Movin’” lives and dies by its titular refrain, five words that– laced with a lazy bit of whistling– crescendo and build and expand before bursting outright. By measure of sheer collective sing-a-long voltage, one could tag the song an “anthem” and call it a day. But on a short release stuffed with and defined by oversized, campfire vocal confetti, I’m not sure how well the descriptor really captures the psychotropic pop spaces and grooves that Suckers and producer Anand Wilder (of fellow Brooklyn indie-rock mystics Yeasayer) are gunning for. This feels much more communal or even experiential than what that word connotes. This feels like a reason to hold hands and beat your chest, not place the former over the latter.

Though the approach or rhythm differs, that vibe pervades throughout. On
“Beach Queen”, lead vocalist Quinn Walker sounds every bit as Byrne-nian on
his own as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s Alec Ounsworth did when he arrived
four years ago. The vocal hook isn’t nearly as fetching as the way the
synths melt into one another, but that itch to join in remains. “Easy
Chairs” opens with a bit of PCP barber-shop harmonizing before skipping off
at a pace befitting its “Ring Around the Rosies” melody. “Afterthoughts &
TV” boasts a galloping chorus that, while every bit as exuberant as
“Movin’”, features a buffet of instrumentation (horn explosions, piano,
twang) that hints further at a band with an ear for more. Just four songs in
and we’ve got a very satisfying, very clear idea of what to expect. To have
more would be sweet, to continue to be plesantly surprised even better.
