I’ve been a fan of Fol Chen for years, ever since hearing their song Cable TV back in 2008. I can’t express how totally stoked I am to be announcing this very special single today.
I drank a few margaritas with the band at this year’s SXSW and we joked about them remixing one of the songs from the new album The False Alarms and us releasing it on tape to accompany their upcoming EU/UK dates. As it turns out, it’s a lot more work to extend your track of 3.45 mins to 13.45 - that’s an extra 10 (TEN) minutes of music. But damn, did they do a good job.

T-SHIRTS!
Because so much awesome stuff has been happening we’ve celebrated by finally putting our Kissability tees up on our shop. Hooray! You can look sexy all summer now.
We’re throwing a massive party at The Great Escape with The Adelines, Cut Ribbons, and Rainer all playing and some good friends taking over DJ duties. Friday May 17th at The Blind Tiger in Brighton. 11pm - 3am. PARTY HARD.
And finally, earlier this week we announced the new single from Cardiff/London orchestral popstars Among Brothers. It’s from a split 7” with Australia’s Shady Lane. Out May 27th in the UK on Kissability, in Japan on HOU (run by DIY promoter Haruna), in the USA on Cardinal White (Jess Abbott of Now, Now/Tancred) and in Australia by Rice is Nice (run by mega babe Julia). You could call it Among Brothers by sisters. I am.
Another day, another announcement! Things are starting to feel pro round here, sort of.
We are ridiculously stoked to be back at this year’s Great Escape in Brighton for another night of fun times, and this year we’ve got an ALL NIGHT DISCO PARTY. Brakes would be proud.
We will be at The Blind Tiger on Friday night (May 17th) from 11pm - 3am with DJs playing tunes to get drunk to and this wonderful array of musical talent…
The Adelines.
From Swansea, we’ll be releasing the brilliant single Alleyways on May 7th right in time for this shindig. These guys make sepia summertime indie pop and will be perfect for an indie shuffle.

A double a-side, out on the 27th May, and split between Kissability here in the UK and Rice is Nice in Australia, the record will also be available in the USA through Cardinal White, run by the formidable Jess Abbott of Now Now and Tancred, and in Japan through HOU.
