SWORDS OF TRUTH
These New Puritans think they're so great.
We think so, too. I just ordered tickets to their concert on the 3rd of May in Brussels, hoping to share a moshpit with Hedi Slimane, who does all the band's photography.

Here's the newest video for 'Swords of Truth', which is kind of crappy, I must admit. (I hope their podcast/vodcast thingy, due to be released sometime this month, will be better.)
I'm also curious about M83, who will be playing later that night. His older stuff is pure shoegazer noise, but the latest video for 'graveyard girl' is like the long-lost single from the Jesus & Mary Chain. You can watch it exclusively on the all-new Pitchfork online tv-station, wildly named 'Pitchfork TV'.
The new M83 album, Saturdays = Youth, will be out next week.
