Guillemots' "Falling Out Of Reach" falls in line with some of the great, delicately emotional tracks the band introduced itself with on Through The Windowpane, like "Made Up Love Song #43," or even "Blue Would Still Be Blye." The track... CONTINUE READING NEW GUILLEMOTS VIDEO - "FALLING OUT OF REACH"»

The great Guillemots already hit us with a free MP3 of " Kriss Kross" earlier this month, and the gear-up for their forthcoming second-effort Red continues here with a great clip for "Get Over It." This is the second time... CONTINUE READING NEW GUILLEMOTS VIDEO - "GET OVER IT"»

Guillemots will make ya ... hit this link and fork over your email addy for a free MP3 of the adventurously titled "Kriss Kross," from the band's forthcoming album Red. The troupe's over-the-top pop won us over a couple years ago, for its emotion and its ambition and its lack of disposable '90s hip hop references (still safe here: note the two "s"s in "Kriss"), so new stuff is good news. This tune, which isn't the first single (that'd be "Get Over It," streaming for a snip at MySpace), starts with some menacing fuzz bass, sirens, and a modal, violin-and-typewriter (both of which they play at shows, btw) melody -- like a criminal drama theme song, almost -- before breaking into Fyfe Dangerfield's trademark exuberance. It krisses and krosses from dark to light, and although it settles into a sort of mundane, major-keyed ride out, it's a satisfying LP peek.
