I received an e-mail today from the One AM Radio‘s Hrishikesh Hirway, tipping me to the fact that April 12th will be the release date for their new album “Heaven Is Attached by A Slender Thread” (via Dangerbird).  The record took four years to create, at points steering towards a dance record.  But Hirway has stuck to what he does best, this record carries the theme of not being able to escape your nature and “the distance between who you think you could be, and who you really are”.  Baths lent additional production to the song “Ticking Heart”, “Weathering (The News)” was co-written with alias and the record was mixed by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Belle & Sebastian, Phoenix, Air).  Look for the band on the road in May with Houses and in the meantime, try on “Sunlight”.

Time To Invest In My Own 3D Glasses

We’ve seen blockbuster movies go that direction, now I’m seeing music videos embrace the technology.

Check out the video for The One AM Radio‘s ‘Credible Threats‘.

The song is off a new 7 that comes with the 3D music video (directed by Andrew Huang) and old-school 3D glasses to watch it. The vinyls B-side is a remix by the MAE SHI, who ‘slow the songs frenetic pace down and re-create it with the gang vocals of a disorganized mob’. Both the video and tracks come digitally with a bonus remix by Jogger from the included download codes.
