Live4ever’s New Tunes Guide: St. Tropez, Jib Kidder and more


ntg1




The last month of 2014 New Tunes Guides is here today with highlights from Amsterdam’s St. Tropez and New York based multi-media artist Jib Kidder.

St. Tropez laid down some songs in what they describe as ‘a former gay sauna by the canals of Amsterdam’ and, in search of someone to mix it, enlisted the talents of singer/producer Tarek Musa of recent Live4ever Presents featured band Spring King. “Raw, chaotic new-wave garage thing going on across the track, 70s punk meets with a bit Black Lips, Ty Segall, catchy as hell,” Musa has said.

Jib Kidder, meanwhile, has just shared another glimpse of ‘Teaspoon To The Ocean’, his debut album which is set for release on January 27th, 2015. ‘Appetites’ sees Sean Schuster-Craig, as he is better known, joined on vocals by friend and collaborator Julia Holter.

These and six other picks of the week can be found by scrolling through our latest collection. Find out much more about this week’s featured artists by clicking on their individual names, and you can catch up with all our previous editions direct through the New Tunes Guide logo above.

To celebrate the start of another month of great music, the Live4ever Ezine is very excited to partner with Manchester’s Ei8htball to offer one lucky reader a new pair of their EX811 in-earphones! Once you’ve been through this week’s tracks, check out all the competition details below.

It’s all about the sound really.

The skitter of a drum machine, the romance of the 808 kicking “Manchester” into life, the howling feedback that links The Who to Jesus And the Mary Chain…to Napalm Death, the jangle that stretches from the Beatles to Arctic Monkeys, the soul groove that pulls back from Alex Turner’s Sheffield lads to Marvin Gaye and rebounds to Robin Thicke.

What you need is something that can handle all of those sounds. Something that will cope with whatever mood you’re in. Something that will be true to what you need to hear.

ei8htball. It’s all in your head.
