Next up is Delays with 'Everything's the Rush', the video to which was directed by Lee Lennox, who did a brilliant video for The Presets last year; and finally we round off with some chart-friendly pop with Roisin Murphy's 'You Know Me Better'.

In this CNET TV: Live session, recorded just days before the release of their debut self-titled album, they treated us to five tracks from the album, including Fear Fear Fear, Sister and their latest single 20l07...

The band is producer and programmer Ethan Kath, who plays and wrote all of the music on the album, alongside vocalist Alice Glass, who shrieks and yelps her teenage poetry into a fuzzy microphone with increasingly distressing urgency.

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:10:01 +0100 http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/video-view-goldfrapp-death-cab-for-cutie-and-hadouken-10000309.htm http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/album-focus-blood-red-shoes-box-of-secrets-10000303.htm Blood Red Shoes' debut album Box of Secrets is so good we've made them band of the week in Encoded's Album Focus show. Although they've been around for quite some time, it's clear from album opener Doesn't Matter Much that their frenetic clatter hasn't been dulled by the passage of time, smacking just as hard as it does live, and introducing the band in a manner befitting a returning hero...

Wanderlust is a collaboration between Bjork and production team Sean Hellfrisch and Isaiah Saxon, and is a mixture of large scale puppeteering, miniatures, and CG, Fulham rudeboy Example's latest shows what can be achieved on a much smaller budget, and MGMT's Time To Pretend has a zebra holocaust and hundreds of badly animated dolphins. Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:24:01 +0100 http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/video-view-bjork-example-mgmt-10000300.htm http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/video-view-black-kids-dan-le-sac-vs-scroobius-pip-and-young-galaxy-10000295.htm This week music video fans we've got three little beauties for you. First up is the debut video from Black Kids, one of 2008's most exciting new bands, whose first single, I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You comes out on 7 April. This is followed by the twin pioneers of electronic preaching and exceptional facial hair, Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip, with their video Look For The Woman; and bringing up the rear are Young Galaxy, whose track Come And See is out as a single next month. Enjoy. Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:19:01 +0100 http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/video-view-black-kids-dan-le-sac-vs-scroobius-pip-and-young-galaxy-10000295.htm http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/music-videos/young-galaxy-come-and-see-10000290.htm Young Galaxy's eponymous debut album was released last year on Arts & Crafts, and this track, 'Come and See', from the album, is out as a single next month. The video was directed by fellow French Canadians Felix & Paul, whose other work includes ad campaigns for Adidas, as well as other French music videos.

Bringing together an array of BJM members and a crew of Icelandic musicians, as well as Mark Gardener from Scouse bowl cut heroes Ride, the album is a diverse and eclectic affair, marrying their psychedelic rock and dirgy garage sound with a shoegaze soundscape that brings to mind My Bloody Valentine.

The Ayr-based band will be touring around the release and are down to play a fair few festival dates in the summer too, so keep your ears to the ground for more details.

From album opener 'The French Open' through to closing track 'Tron', Antidotes is a journey through precise, intricate, layered instrumentation, which despite having plenty of chin-scratching moments, still packs enough of a bassy, snarey kick to keep the kids dancing. Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:53:01 +0000 http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/album-focus-foals-antidotes-10000272.htm http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/video-view-supergrass-johnny-flynn-and-john-jehn-10000271.htm Nate Lanxon is back with three fine new music videos, packaged up in a perfectly wrapped parcel for you to view. First up is Supergrass - no, they're not dead - with their new track 'Bad Blood', which sees them go from normal to weird in the space of three minutes; closely followed by Johnny Flynn, with his cute, quirky take on 'Leftovers'; and bringing up the rear are those French romantics John & Jehn, who sing about '20L07', which is all about love... and stuff. Enjoy! Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:04:01 +0000 http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/video-view-supergrass-johnny-flynn-and-john-jehn-10000271.htm http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/album-focus-neon-neon-stainless-style-10000266.htm This week we get shiny, bright and super non-stick with Neon Neon, whose debut album Stainless Style has just been released. Neon Neon is a collaborative project between Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys and electro pioneer Boom Bip, who first hooked up a couple of years ago when Gruff provided the vocal for Boom Bip's track 'Dos and Don'ts.' Now they've decided to do a whole album together and roped a load of their pals in to help, and the result is one of the most infectious, accessible and ultimately poppy albums that you'll hear this year.

All, frankly, quite weird. Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:01:01 +0000 http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/video-view-santogold-tiny-masters-of-today-and-late-of-the-pier-10000264.htm http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/album-focus-vincent-vincent-and-the-villains-gospel-bombs-10000258.htm This week's band in focus is Vincent Vincent and the Villains, whose debut album, Gospel Bombs, came out on Monday. Grab your Brylcreem, tuck your fag packet under your t-shirt sleeve, and join Nate Lanxon on a journey back to the 1950s - the year Super Glue was invented! Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:15:00 +0000 http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/album-focus-vincent-vincent-and-the-villains-gospel-bombs-10000258.htm http://www.cnettv.co.uk/music/encoded/video-view-elbow-guillemots-and-neon-neon-10000257.htm We've lovingly picked our top three music videos of the week and, once again, with the help of Nate Lanxon, packed them into a tight little video jam jar, ready for you to view at your leisure. First up is 'Grounds For Divorce', the cheerfully named new single from Elbow, the video to which sees the band gigging in a classic 70s-style British boozer; 'Get Over It' is next on our list - it's the latest offering from experimental Scottish popsters Guillemots; and finally the amazing video for Neon Neon's 'I Lust U', which documents the tragic events at a jellyfish competition, had us transfixed.

The video is directed by Romain Gavras and it tracks the duo's adventures in Moscow, mystically combining a figure skater, an Orthodox priest and Soviet tanks.

Like his previous band's releases, no two Malkmus albums are the same, and where on his last solo outing he delivered a collection of short, sweet, catchy pop songs à la Pavement's Wowee Zowee, Real Emotional Trash sees him return to the stoner retrospection of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.

Make sure you stay tuned for more gig news next week.

Also making the grade is Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly's new video for 'Find The Time' and the Mystery Jets with their latest single 'Young Love'. Have you seen any contenders?

Lead single 'Death to Los Campesinos!', which came out last week, has finally put them in the spotlight after a couple of introductory releases last year, and the seven-piece from Cardiff have just finished their latest UK tour. Dose yourself up on sugar and strap on your dancing shoes, it's about to get happy...
