Catapulted themselves into the limelight with their self-titled debut album, Miike Snow has returned with a new track, 'The Rabbit'. It is a brand new previously-unheard track featured in the band's deluxe version of the record, produced by the band and mixed by Madonna collaborator Stuart Price. Miike Snow had one of my favorite albums of all last year, and this track did not disappoint. It fits in perfectly between the pulsating electronics of previous tracks, - catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics. Electro pop at its best.

The Place We Ran From

The side projects of internationally famous rock stars are very often worth a listen just for their sheer folly, but the name of this one promises nothing so entertaining – and rightly so.

Tired Pony are Gary Lightbody’s brainchild, something he dreamt of doing while on the long haul around the States with his main band. It’s a hastily convened combo, which includes REM’s Peter Buck on mandolin, and, well, Belle & Sebastian’s drummer, with the aim of pursuing the ‘stadium-indie’ singer’s interest in alt-country. His favourites include, he says, “Wilco, Calexico, Lambchop, Palace, Smog – these bands that look at the darkness in America”.
