Two Door Cinema Club

Here we go, Two Door Cinema Club have a new vid for single 'Come Back Home'. Now, I didn't really *get* the clip at first, I initally had Adele-chasing-pavements feelings, before I felt all Gwynnie-sliding-doors. Then I realised that we follow some kind of 3-way split reality of how shit went down in the story. Or something. Here, look it yourself:

And some remixes for you! First by Is Tropical, who discard the scratchily skipping intro and head straight for dramatic guitars. In short, they simply present a much ruder, cooler, and rather more rock'n'roll version of the rather polite track.

Myd on the other hand get totally bangin', taking 'Come Back Home' to the drums, handclaps and vocals, before utilising that zipping noise (do you know the one? Go listen to the track below, you'll know it) and actually making it sound rather pleasant - in a booty shaking way. Check it:

The equation is quite simple: a dash of cuteness from Goodbooks, a dash of Phoenix's summery sound and three pink cheeked British boys to make you Kitsuné's latest sensation, Two Door Cinema Club. 'Something Good Can Work', the third single from Tourist History, is their most infection moment so far, with surprisingly upbeat drums for such sweet melodies - I suppose this is what it means when someone says 'summer love track'.

And if we hear a love summer song in 'Something Good Can Work', we see a summer video too. Directed by One In Three - who has worked with Bloc Party, Ellie Goulding, Wildbeasts and more - who took the three white boys out to tan, during a beautiful sunny day on the Canary Islands whilst shoot it from the most amazing angles imaginable. We hope, for the sake of their skin, they used lots of sunscreen.

On the single, we can find remixes from Crookers, Beatacue, The Twelves, Blamma Blamma and Ted And Francis, but we strongly recommend you to run away from the first two remixes and dive into the delicious remix from Twelves, which is also part of the new edition of Kitsuné #9, and Ted And Francis's, that extracts all the sweetness from the original and makes it more refined.

PS. Two Door Cinema Club singer is the definition of cute - I bet around the world that everyone's mums find him "adorable".

Say hiya to the latest of Kitsuné's compilations - this 9th round endowed with the title of The Petit Bateau Edition. And of course, here's a mini-mix by JBAG to see if after 8 lives, whether the 9th can still tease some excitement out of all y'all Kitsuné veterans.

Feeling the shivers of anticipation?

Two Door Cinema Club's 'I Can Talk' has been remixed by fellow Kitsuné kids Crystal Fighters (who seem to be colliding musically with everybody lately) and our friends French Horn Rebellion to some awesome effects.

Lending their trademark Basque instrumentation and percussion to the syncopated guitar driven Foals-like track 'I Can Talk', is Crystal Fighter's super wicked edit.

Our friends at French Horn Rebellion also took their hand to 'I Can Talk' resulting in a finger snapping, synth-poppy beep fest, more laid back than the original; built around an interesting breakdown using chopped up vocals in ascending scales. Some nice work from FHR.

Chew Lips have a new single out and it's better than the 'Solo' for many reasons: Tig's (diva) voice sounds more trained and polished; the lyric features the amazing line that names the track "You're an ocean, I'm salt air"; the electronic instrumental suits her voice better; and finally, it's simply a catchier song. Think of a more classy version of Gossip's 'Standing in the Way of Control' for a whole new synthpop generation.

And all you fans of sepia colors and old-looking graphics will be pleased to know that the video features exactly both of these technologies and shows the band doing a live performance. Don't forget to note that Tigs (the singer) has got one point hotter after becoming really short haired and another for becoming blonde (although she was still a brunette in the video).

If 'Solo' had Tepr and David Sugar remixing it (check both versions here), 'Salt Air' got Jupiter, Two Door Cinema Club and Dekker & Johan in which Valerie's Jupiter is clearly a stand out with his '80s synths and fresh feel (try to work that out in your head), but it doesn't mean the other remixes are bad. Two Door Cinema Club's version sounds like early CSS stuff - dancefloor electro; while Dekker & Johan explore synths in a very '90s way. 'Salt Air' will be released via Kitsuné on the 6^th of July.

Last time, with The Melodic One compilation, Kitsuné Maison introduced the world to artists like La Roux, We Have Band and Appaloosa; got us dancing once again with Fischerspooner and Lo-Fi-FNK; and made everybody's heart feel funny with songs from Ted & Francis and David E. Sugar. So there's absolutely no doubt that we are dying to listen to their 7^th compilation, The Lucky One.

First, because it's got some ace new singles from bands like We Have Band and Golden Filter. And then there are the songs that we already know and adore like 'Something Good Can Work' from Two Door Cinema Club, 'Solo' from Chew Lips, 'In For The Kill (Lifelike Remix)' from La Roux and 'Lisztomania (Classixx Version)' from Phoenix. And finally all the songs from bands we don't know but we'll probably love. In Kitsuné we trust!

In order to celebrate the upcoming release of both Kitsuné Fall/Winter 09 collection and Kitsuné Maison 7 - The Lucky One, Loïc Prigent & Fabien Constant did a cool change-your-clothes-as-fast-as-you-can competition featuring some songs from the compilation. Cheap creative fun.  Check the video below and some of it's songs at the bottom.

Track list after the jump, innit. >>
