HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LOVED BY NO ONE.

Wolf Gang are some of our nearest and dearest Neon Gold alumni and the lovely Kyla La Grange is one of our favorite tips for 2011, so we were thrilled to find them joining forces on this acoustic version of Wolf Gang's latest single, "Dancing With The Devil". The vocal interplay between Wolf Gang frontman Max McElligott and La Grange is perfect, and the track is yet another step in the right direction towards what we fully expect to be one of the year's finest full-length debuts when Wolf Gang's album drops this summer. Both Wolf Gang and Kyla will be playing SXSW this year, with the latter making a stop off in NYC beforehand at Communion's special pre-SXSW show this Sunday and Wolf Gang taking the stage at our unofficial day party blowout on the Saturday in Austin. More details on our day party to come by week's end, but for now feast your ears and eyes on an exclusive video of Max and Kyla's "Dancing With The Devil" duet above and The Shoes' official remix (featuring the brilliant Cocknbullkid) of the single below.

AND LET THE DRUM BEAT DROP.

Brand new Neon Gold release out now, y'all. The Crown Jewels EP drops on 7" and download today from Marina & The Diamonds and we couldn't be happier. We've already waxed poetic on its treasures and offered ace AA-side track "Seventeen" up for download, but we've also commissioned a few top notch remixes this time around as well. Never ones to skimp you on the remix front, we've got some primetime mixes in from French cool kids The Shoes and up and coming London producer The Aspirins For My Children, the latter of whom comes through with another great Marina rework hot on the heels of his incredible take on "Obsessions". Our favorite of the bunch, however, comes courtesy of Starsmith, whose 24 Carat mix shimmers and shines as it slowly builds to an epic, synth-drenched climax. Already beloved around Neon Gold HQ for his amazing work with Ellie Goulding, he's recently turned his sights on remixing, and guess what - he's pretty fucking good at that too. The Crown Jewels is available for purchase in the US from the Neon Gold Shop or in the UK from Puregroove. Make it happen.
