Mark Pritchard (featuring Thom Yorke)

British/Australian electronic producer Mark Pritchard asked Radiohead’s Thom Yorke to sing on his forthcoming album Under the Sun.

In the song “Beautiful People” Pritchard distorts and enhances Yorke’s vocals to create a gorgeous lament.

Charli XCX

Goth-pop artist Charli XCX has finally released her debut album.

True Romance was due last year from this British singer/songwriter and has been in the works since 2010. It includes a number of songs previously heard on her 2 EPs.

“Nuclear Seasons” is from 2011.

“You (Ha Ha Ha) was released earlier this year.

The Cribs

The Cribs are a British brother band: twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and younger brother Ross.

They’ve been a trio for most of their career save the last album when former Smith’s guitarist Johnny Marr joined the band. He subsequently left to pursue his solo artistry.

In the Belly of the Brazen Bull, the band’s fifth album, was released in May of this year.

“Come On, Be a No-One” is the powerful single.

The Big Pink

The Big Pink is the British duo Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell.

They debuted in 2009 with A Brief History of Love featuring the wildly infectious misogynistic song “Dominos”.

They lifted an old skateboard advertisement, Future This, for the title of their new album.

“Hit the Ground (Superman)” is the current single.

The Vaccines

The Vaccines debut album What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? Is now available in this country.

One listen to this British quartet and their debt to the Ramones is evident.

As Joey Ramone would have told me: “They’re one of us”.

“Wreckin’ Bar (Ra Ra Ra) kicks off the album at a perfect 1 minute, 24 seconds. Punk rock at its finest.
