Today we are proud to present The Gladeyes latest record - "Shadows Explode".
Once again our favourite girl group has come up with something really special for you. It was recorded over six months as spring gave way to summer toward the end of 2010. In contrast to its predecessor, which was the product of a decade's worth of writing and two years of production, Shadows Explode is less laboured, and has more in common with the long string of hand-made and home-recorded EPs which make up The Gladeyes output through the 2000s.
Have a listen here. It's also available on CD at our Lil Chief Store and digitally on iTunes.
Don't forget that the first of the band's two release show is tonight at 5/1 Cross Street, Auckland!
The Gladeyes are well known for their sweet pop melodies with a sinister edge. 'Honey Pie' (the first single from new album 'Shadows Explode" (out on Lil' Chief on 21 April)) takes that lead, with it's ominous 60s bass line (think the Walker Brothers doing Summertime), gently riffing guitar and sweet girl vocals delivering the tragic story of love gone awry.
The Gladeyes are performing their last ever Auckland show and celebrating this albums release on Thursday night this week – at 5/1 Cross Street, $5 on the door and it’ s BYO.
Our new Album Shadows Explode comes out this Thursday! And we are having an album release party at 5/1 Cross Street. It's going to be our last ever show in Auckland so everyone should come along......... $5 on the door and BYO!
Lil' Chief Records is very proud to release today the debut E.P. by The Eversons!
Recorded inside a storage unit, and a tidy five tracks long (including the new single 'Creepy'), this E.P. has no filler - and we here at Lil' Chief believe that this is as strong a debut as a 'Boodle Boodle Boodle' or 'Champion Versions'.
You can pay what you like for the digital release but for those of you who still like to have something to wrap your frail indie fingers around - a very limited run of CD copies are also available from the Lil’ Chief Store. It's also available through iTunes and Amplifier.
The Eversons E.P. release show will take place on April 16 at Whammy Bar in Auckland.
Also today we are pleased to officially release the second single from Princess Chelsea’s upcoming album.
