Lucky Number Music

So, the holidays are definitely over and all systems are go at Lucky Number.  In 2010 we celebrate our 5th Anniversary and it’s going to be a fantastic year with a lot of great music.  We’re also delighted that our very first post of the year is to inform you of a new addition to the label – the one and only Darwin Deez.  See the official announcement below.  [ read more ]

‘Constellations’, the debut single from Darwin Deez, is released today.  Currently A-listed at 6 Music and NME Radio, XFM playlisted and championed by Zane Lowe at Radio 1. It is fantastic, tender, heartfelt and totally charming.  We think it sounds nothing like The Strokes, but what can you do? 

“Extravagantly coiffured New Yorker produces wonderful, strangely yearning pop, matching Strokesian ennui to a melody that reaches for twinkling stars” (Guardian 27/11); “A minimal, scratchy, Strokesy pop-punk gem from the NY newcomer” (Sunday Times Hottest Download 06/12). “The debut single from Darwin Deez, totally f***ing awesome” (NME) “Great hair, great tume” (Grazia),

Released today, ‘Waiting / Wait Is Over’, is the second succulent single to be taken from Melbourne’s rock ‘n’ roll revisionaries Little Red’s debut album ‘Listen To Little Red’.

The flip side to the forthcoming mix of ‘L’amour Et La Violence’ by Floating Points is a complete reworking of Tellier’s neo-romantic Kubrickian fantasy ‘Fingers Of Steel’ by Penguin Prison. Assimilating a perfect brew of down-town funk hybrids his unique re-imagining features Penguin Prison himself on lead vocals, crooning a blue-eyed cover, whilst Tellier steps up solely to sing his own BV’s on the chorus. It’s a swirl of space-funk with added pop appeal, a Talking Heads-Tom Tom Club mélange of the highest funk factor. Here’s a teaser.
