or listen via soundcloud(deep dark like she said,emotional track)great remix!!!
We really hope that this track will be at the top,so deep and hypnotic with a little bit of hi nrg,…few years ago todd terry made a remix for everything but the girl-missing,now this

For Bertie, ‘Thump’ captures that “feeling of walking home late at night; your footsteps hit the pavement and your whole body pulsates. You become really aware of your breath and heartbeat”, haunting vocals soar, industrial electronics collide and the track troughs into eerie breaths of quiet throughout.

Constantly evolving as an artist, Bertie continues to develop her sound on ‘Secrets and Lies’ blending electronic influences with her signature vocal style and penchant for brutally honest lyrics in a modern exploration of pop music. “I wanted to do something more electronic and less band-oriented” says Blackman, “It’s dark, but it’s also a pop record”.

‘Secrets and Lies’ is a result of the meeting of great minds including Sydney based UK producer Lee Groves (Goldfrapp, Gwen Stefani) and Francois Tetaz (Gotye, Architecture in Helsinki), Thump was mixed by Dave Bascombe (Tears For Fears / Royksopp).

Bertie delivers pop music with depth. Her voice is seductive, her lyrics are inventive and honest and she mesmerizes as a live performer. “When I’m playing music, I just disappear into what’s going on,” she says, “it all just sort of channels through.” After launching ‘Secrets and Lies’ to sold-out shows in Melbourne and Sydney, Bertie completed a sell out Australian tour throughout August, as well as performances on the Parklife Festival alongside LaRoux, Little Boots and Metric.

Hockey – Mind Chaos

Posted in *Introducing, Artists Profile, Newcomer, News on April 16, 2009 by J.D.

DANCE-ROCK BAND HOCKEY PREPARES
TO BRING TRANS-ATLANTIC ‘MIND CHAOS’ WITH AUGUST 25TH RELEASE

Portland, Oregon Band’s “Too Fake” Single And Video Available Now, Vinyl on May 19th And MIND CHAOS Album Out On August 25th

Festival Appearances Confirmed At Sasquatch On May 24th
and Bonnaroo on June 11th.

“Too Fake” Video Added At MTVU

“See them now while they are still playing small rooms,” – Time Out New York.
“Get used to this band, they’ll be around a lot.” – NME
“The band who might just provide the soundtrack to 2009.” – Arena Magazine

For a band that named its forthcoming Capitol Records debut album MIND CHAOS, which will be released on August 25th, the collective thinking on modern dance-rockers HOCKEY is already crystal-clear: this is a band set for a worldwide breakout this year.

With a cohesive album marked by ingenious, assured song craft and fresh, loose-limbed new-wave-flavored dance-rock propulsion — “debauched, joy-inducing floor-fillers, “ according to Arena Magazine — HOCKEY may have already located and embodied the zeitgeist of 2009 with lyrics and an outlook that’s both “soulful and knowingly sarcastic” (Arena).

HOCKEY played four hotly-anticipated gigs at the famed South By Southwest music festival in mid-March, following a series of downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn shows that stoked a chorus of on-line cheers and a notice in Paste Magazine’s 10 New Artists to Watch in 2009. Two smashingly successful visits to the U.K. in December and in February (with Passion Pit) have built Hockey’s international momentum right up to the U.S. release of the kick-off “Too Fake” single, whose video and digital single is available now and a vinyl 7-inch will be available May 19. The video has been officially added at mtvU and has seen play on LOGO and mun2. MtvU has also selected Hockey to participate in their “Ahead Of The Curve” initiative with promo spots running on the network and mtvU.com April 20th and continuing throughout 2009.

The band is currently on a series of April appearances on the West Coast, some with Friendly Fires, and will cross the Atlantic with Friendly Fires for another month-long U.K. swing with them later this month. While in the UK, Hockey is confirmed to appear on the popular BBC late night show “Later with Jools Holland” on April 21st.

Formed in Los Angeles five years ago by founders Ben Grubin, lead singer, and Jeremy “Jerm” Reynolds on bass, HOCKEY is now based in Portland, Oregon as a quartet with Brian White on guitar, and Anthony Stassi on drums. MIND CHAOS was released independently, and the group signed to Capitol late in 2008. The album will be remixed and remastered, with new songs added, for the August 25th, 2009 international release.

With “song away” acting as a holistic mission statement wrapped in a nod and a wink, “These scruffy bike-riding vegans could easily be enjoyed by fans of Dylan, Springsteen and the Hold Steady as much as they could by devotees of LCD Soundsystem” says U.K.’s Guardian newspaper. “See them now while they are still playing small rooms,” advises Time Out New York.
