GOLD016: MR. LITTLE JEANS

Our love for Mr. Little Jeans knows no bounds, so it's with great pleasure that we announce her debut single, the three-track Angel EP, out on Neon Gold next month. We already introduced you to the brilliance that is the EP's title track last month, but today we've got AA-side "Faking Gold" for your ears, another rollicking Yeah Yeah Yeahs-esque masterstroke from the pint-sized pop sensation. With it's soaring chorus, infinite hooks and droning electronic bassline, it's cut from the same cloth as it's A-side sister "Angel", and the two converge to form one of the fiercest one-two punches you'll hear on a record this year.

As if the A-sides weren't enough, rounding out the package is a cover of Beyonce's ladies night anthem "Single Ladies", a more subdued affair that offers a glimpse of the softer side of the Ms. they call Mr. On the remix side of things, we've got winning interpretations from the RAC, Luxury Living and Passion Pit spin-off Bo Flex, which we'll be scattering like sonic ashes across the blog sea in the weeks to come. With another brilliant round of artwork from our girl FRAUGRAU (who's work on this release might be her best yet), the EP is limited to 300 copies and drops June 7th, available exclusively from the Neon Gold Shop stateside and our friends at Puregroove in the UK. Preorder is available now, so get involved.

GO FASTER.

Luxury Living first two-stepped across our radar with their shit hot remix of Penguin Prison last month, and now we're back from Coachella with some original material from the Londoners that pack more heat than even the California desert can offer. "Kimberley" has been getting love on the blogs for a short minute now and for good reason, it's pulsing disco decadence has a hypnotizing brilliance about it that will get even the most pretentious Hoxton hipsters busting moves on the floor.

THE LAST THING I REMEMBER.

TODAY IS A BIG DAY. The inimitable Penguin Prison makes his international live debut tonight, playing a sold out show at the Mercury Lounge. We've been to a few rehearsals and caught a secret warm-up gig a few weeks back at Cakeshop, and it's safe to say anyone coming down tonight is in for a serious treat. Dude's also just gone live with his debut music video, directed by Roman Rappak for Penguin's amazing "Something I'm Not", which dropped last month on Neon Gold. Filmed over Skype and then enhanced by Rappak in post-produciton with a barrage of rad after-effects, it's a masterful example of how a little bit of creativity can take a low-budget concept a long way. Scope the video above, and hit up the download below for a rather brilliant remix by London newcomers Luxury Living, who take the amazing original to ominous new heights, injecting it with a tangible sense of nocturnal danger and their signature decadent disco style.
