The Rakes Ring in the New Year with "KLANG"! New Album and Tracklist!

The Rakes are set to release their third album entitled ‘KLANG’ on the 23rd of March and will release the album one week earlier (March 16) on 7″ and download through V2/Co-operative. The album was recored at Planet Roc Studios in Berlin by Chris Zane who has produced Les Savy Fav, The Walkmen and Passion Pit.

The Full Tracklisting is:

You’re In It
That’s The Reason
The Loneliness Of The Outdoor Smoker
Bitchin’ in the Kitchin’
The Woes Of The Working Woman
1989
Shackelton
The Light From Your Mac
Muller’s Ratchet
The Final Hill
Never Get Married

The band also managed to film a bike/walking tour of the recording facilities where they recorded the new album and set it to the first single from the album ‘1989′! The new single comes complete with jittery rhythms, neurotic lyrics, and shambly harmonies. For sure, a preview of good things to come!

A Very Azltron Halloween!

Okay, so tomorrow is Halloween and many people will be gallivanting about the country side in silly costumes (or scantily clad absences of costume) and I will be working. I’m getting through this idea though by putting together a Halloween mix. I played all of these on my show on Monday and I felt like it was one of my best shows yet. Riddled with copyright free Vincent Price quotes and a distinctly eerie yet extremely dance-able atmosphere.

Mp3 – Do they know it’s Halloween?

Mp3 – Oingo Boingo – Dead Man’s Party

Mp3 – Echo & the Bunnymen – People Are Strange

Mp3 – Michael Jackson – Thriller

Mp3 – The Rakes – Terror

Mp3 – The Faint – How Could I Forget?

Mp3 – The Fever – Hotel Phantom

Mp3 – B.A.D.A.B.O.O.M. – World Leader Pretend
