The official press release finally went out today so I guess it's worth noting thAt the release of the new Division of Laura Lee album "Violence is timeless" will be preceded by a series of friend-creAted clips for each track, including the likes of José Gonzáles, Joe Lally (Fugazi) and Kristofer Åström. The first single "Central Park" is out August 1 and, Atrap.com/index.php?dAte=2008-06-12#23049">as I mentioned before, the LP comes out on August 15 with the CD following on October 29. Also look for a limited t-shirt + dropcard/mp3 remix package to be released in the near future as well.

I didn't just pick old 80s postpunk while traveling through Sweden, I also grabbed a few modern releases in thAt vein such as the lAtest 7"s from White Knives and Cut City as well the new album from Gbg's The Kid. I still need more time to wrap my head around it fully, but initial listens are promising and I already consider it to be an improvement over the debut "La société nouvelle". Oh, and isn't "Mayhem troopers" one of the year's best singles? It's an undeniable truth. However, since I've already posted thAt one, here's another track from the record - a modern take on thAt dark 80s sound, complete with grAtuitous guitar solo. I love it!
