CLOCK ROCK: Debut video from post-Dananananaykroyd project Alarm Bells.

To celebrate the release of their debut 12" release Part One, Alarm Bells, the band featuring former members of Dananananaykroyd have unveiled a video for their track 'Cocoons'. The track takes the off-kilter catchiness of Dananananaykroyd's material to extremes, working in math-rock intricacies, vocals that switch between robotic and rock-operatic and flashes of Daft Punk-or-even-Apollo 440-esque processed guitar. The track is accompanied by Lachlan Rattray's strange, spartan 90's CGI-based video that will strike a chord with fans of Rachel Maclean's video for Errors' Pleasure Palaces single.

This is the info on Part One:

"Opener 'Whitemare' is a seamless epic running over 13 minutes, the B side features the 1-2 punch to the guts of 'Speeding Ticket' and 'Cycles', rounded off with the swift bewt in the behws that is first single 'Cocoons'. Smelt."

Quite frankly, the whole thing sounds nuts, and rather brilliant. Cocoons video and audio right here:

I have been listening to Jealousy Mountain Duo this afternoon, following an excited listen to a track featured on The Wire’s excellent Wire Tapper 30 compilation. Think Hella’s ‘Biblical Violence’, but less violent, with hints of free-jazz and a lethargic alt country edge that evokes monolithic cacti, clouds of dust kicked up by old trucks and beardy men in dungarees chewing tobacco on timber porches. Which is strange because JMD are German.

Their new album No.2 The Home of Easy Credit is out now on MP3 and from October 1 on CD and Vinyl via Blunoise. Listen below:
