I Am Sound Records

We like it when we see our own bands when we check the Elbo.ws Hot Artists charts.

Check out this live footage of Sunny Day Sets Fire playing “Adrenaline” at the LA Film Festival last night. The band played at the Paramount screening of “American Teen,” in which the band has a song in (along with Black Kids, The Ting Tings, MGMT and others). The soundtrack to the film is out July 15th, and the band’s album is July 8th of course.

The Black Ghosts’s new album (out July 8th) enter the CMJ Radio 200 Adds Chart at #5, with a total of 57 official adds!

Guest vocals from Damon Albarn

Don’t forget that Sunny Day Sets Fire will be playing a couple of shows in Los Angeles in a couple of weeks; these are their first American shows!

6/22 - Roxy with Frightened Rabbit

6/24 - Spaceland with In Waves and Line and Circle

6/25 - Ford Ampitheater - Los Angeles Film Festival/Paramount Pictures screening of “American Teen”, with performance by SDSF

Head on over to Pitchfork’s Forkcast to check out the feature the website did on Sunny Day Sets Fire’s new short video for “Smallest Heart On Earth.” It’s the first in a series of 10 short videos, all of songs on their upcoming debut album Summer Palace, and you can get them all as they show up one-by-one on the widget below. Embed it on your myspace or website to keep up!

IAMSOUND is excited to announce that we will be releasing the debut single for Florence and the Machine on June 10th. Florence was named by NME as the Best New Band of SXSW 2008 and has been featured in Nylon, Q, Radar and countless other magazines who have picked up on her incredible voice. The single is “Kiss With A Fist” (the b-side being a cover of Cold War Kids’ “Hospital Beds”), also being released the day before (June 9th) in the UK through Moshi Moshi.

You can take a listen to “Kiss With A Fist” on our MySpace page and you can pre-order the 7″ vinyl here. As always, the songs will also be available on iTunes and eMusic.

Directors from across the world have come together to create a series of short films and videos for the Black Ghosts, which we are premiering through our friends at Missing Toof and Big Stereo. One video will premiere each week, with the two sites switching off premieres. Missing Toof premiered the first video, for “Some Way Through This,” and Big Stereo will premiere the next one, for “Anyway You Choose To Give It,” and then Missing Toof will do the one after that, etc. Get the idea?

In that case, make sure to check out the videos every week on these two awesome websites!

Because of a manufacturing delay, Men Women & Children’s new single “Ultra Hot Volcano” has had its vinyl release date pushed back to next Tuesday, May 13th (as part of limited edition, hand-numbered 7″ records). The single and b-side is out digitally now though.
