Soulful folk-rocker Pete Lawrie, currently signed to Island Records, has just unveiled the video for brand new single ‘All That We Keep’, released August 16th.
After a sold-out show at The Social in London last week, Pete continues to entice new fans into loving his unique folk brand, and looks to be taking the music world by storm in 2010.
You can see the new video for ‘All That We Keep’ below:
Read MoreTBW electro-disco favourites Holy Ghost! (MySpace) are releasing Static on the Wire EP on DFA on 23rd August and to get everyone excited here we’ve got the video to the closing track on that record I Know, I Hear. The track’s got rolling hi-hats, thumping carnival drums, and some distinctively 80s influenced synths and vocals, and the video is a grainy, dark and static affair from Ben Fries featuring Caroline Polachek of Chairlift.

When you live in a place, it sometimes becomes easy to dismiss the local music scene, or even feel that local bands and artists are just plain stale. Norwich becomes like this easily, with regular nights showcasing the same artists over and over again. With the exception of Norwich Arts Centre, it’s difficult to find both a good venue and a good show in the same place. To find a local band that is exceptional when exploring the streets of Norwich, however, is a rarity.
Alloy Ark are themselves such a rarity. The boy-girl teenaged duo make fun folk-pop tunes that I can honestly say are nothing like anything else I’ve heard on the UK music scene at the moment. Recent signings to Norwich-based and Norwich-oriented label NRONE Records (The Kabeedies, Violet Violet, These Ghosts), Alloy Ark release their debut EP ‘To, The Bottom Of The Sea’ on October 4th.
Other parts of the UK can look forward to shows from Alloy Ark soon, as the twosome are relocating for university around the time of the EP’s release.
Below you can watch two video tracks, recorded by the wonderful Norwich outfit GetOnTheSoapbox:
Alloy Ark – Columbian Coffee
Alloy Ark – One Two Three
