Clubfeet‘s “Gold on Gold” just got a great review in Pitchfork, scoring a 7.7 which is very exciting indeed. In general the press has been resoundingly enthusiastic for this Melbourne-based trio. Eli Escobar‘s remix of their new single “Count Your Lovers” is available for a free download at Tweetforatrack and we are also giving away 5 free tracks from the album (for a limited time only) here.
There are a lot of smiles at Plant headquarters these days. Why? Clubfeet. That’s why. We are elated that we can finally share their music with the rest of the world, at last able to answer the question we’ve heard so many times over the last year, “so when is Clubfeet coming out?” with a “RIGHT NOW!” Our favorite band’s debut album Gold on Gold is available via iTunes and Amazon and it just got a great review and Q&A in Filter Magazine. Clubfeet are not only a great band but they are extremely funny lads, two hailing from Capetown and the other from Melbourne, where they all reside. Read the Q&A and you will get it.
Their new single “Count Your Lovers,” with remixes by Eli Escobar, Udachi, Boltan (AC Slater & Udachi) and Australia’s Elke also dropped today on Beatport and iTunes. Also check out the great video to that single, starring Australian model Tia Eckhardt. Oo la la!
Good times last night at Eli Escobar’s “Love Thing” release party. Check the pics on Nicky Digital. Thanks to all who came out and had fun especially Amanda Blank who wasn’t feeling 100% but still came up from Philly. You’re the best. What a night!
So we have been posting about Eli’s single for a while now but today is the actual release day on iTunes, Amazon and all other formats so go grab it. This version of the release also includes the DJ Mehdi Club Edit which is superb.
Also don’t forget the release party tomorrow (Wed July 14) at Ella feat. a live performance of the single by Amanda Blank.
