Canyons Need You
We're working on a new video for the Canyons song "When I See You Again".
The video will be comprised of tonnes of different clips of memories and life moments over the ages.
If you have any film footage - riding a bike, running on the beach, kissing, eating, getting married, being sick, flying, swimming, crying, you name it - we need it. Whatever it was shot on, videotape, Super 8, SLR, MINI-DV, it's all good, in fact the weirder the better.
We'll digitise and return your footage as it came, so please don't forget to include YOUR address - OUR address below!

Download: Pond - Moth Wings
'Moth Wings' is the second single from Pond's fourth record 'Beard Wives Denim'. The entire album was recorded over two weeks in a ramshackle farmhouse in Western Australia; 'Moth Wings' is said to have, quite literally, broken the bands 'mid-recording cabin fever', and it's easy to see why.
Mixed by Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) and Rob Grant at Poon's Head Studio in Perth 'Beard Wives Denim' is out March through Modular Recordings March 2nd (AUS), March 5th (UK/EU), and March 6th (US). Pre-order now, Mod Shop, JB Hi Fi.

Modcast #106: The Twerps
Melbourne group The Twerps released their self-titled debut late last year and took a special place on our stereo/in our hearts. Case in point, Tim from Cut Copy highlighted them in his Best of 2011 list. (Some extra trivia for the train-spotters/liner-note readers, that's not the only Cut Copy link, their bass player, Rick, worked at Alter design, the good folk who designed all the 'Zonoscope' artwork.)
They've just announced a bunch of dates across Australia (American friends stay tuned for news on this front), so make sure you catch them! They've also made a pretty sweet Modcast for your listening pleasure this week, check it out there's some real gold in there.
Recommends - Matthew Dear - In The Middle (I Met You There)
New York's Matthew Dear and London based director Morgan Beringer have been collaborating on visuals and videos for quite some time - Beringer plays with texture and morphing colour, working seamlessly with Dear's audio prowess. This latest video is no exception. Together they make something that's hypnotic, transfixing and a little mind-warping. Matthew Dear's latest EP Headcage is out now through Ghostly International.
Stream: Ladyhawke - Black White & Blue
Following her multi-award winning, critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album, we're pleased to share the first single from Ladyhawke's second album, 'Anxiety'.
'Black White & Blue' was written and produced by Ladyhawke, aka Pip Brown, alongside long time collaborator Pascal Gabriel. Stream 'Black White & Blue' below, or get your copy digitally via iTunes.
