As Datarock's new album Red hits stores today, the accolades continue to pour in. Pitchfork posted their review today, stating that the Norwegian rockers "sport some of the slickest dance production in the biz, not to mention their effortless traversing between neurotic post-punk licks and coked-to-the-gills 1980s synth pop," and continues on to say that "this band can nail any sound they want..." ANew York Times' Critic's Choice review also ran this week, which called Red "a frothy elixir out of 1980s synth-pop, art-rock and new wave."
The men in red celebrate tonight with a special performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!'s outdoor stage (12:05 et/pt on ABC). AOL's Spinner.com is also hosting a Red listening party this week, which you can check out HERE.
As Datarock prepare to kick off their 6-week N. American tour in support of their sophomore album Red, the band announces they’ll perform a mini-concert on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!’s outdoor stage on release day, September 1. (Get tickets to the free mini-concert HERE)
Datarock will perform 5 songs, including new favorite “True Stories” from Red and hit single “Fa Fa Fa” from their 2007 debut. With countless sold-out tour dates and festival appearances from the US to the UK to Australia, the Norwegian rockers have become known for their high-energy live shows. Time Out London recently said, “[Datarock's] fully-bonkers live shows are things of rare joy…”

"Easy Come Easy Go" is the first single from New Wild Everywhere and easily the most upbeat and up-tempo track to ever come from Toronto indie folk/rock darlings Great Lake Swimmers. Out April 3, New Wild Everywhere is the follow up to 2009's critically acclaimed, Juno and Polaris-prize nominated album Lost Channels. Their fifth album in just under a decade, this new collection of 12 tracks reveals a depth and maturity previously only hinted at by lead singer and songwriter Tony Dekker.
