Our The King of Limbs - From The Basement programme is going to be aired in the USA this Saturday 23rd July at 9pm on Palladia, followed by a second showing on MTV2 the following Saturday.
Apologies for the delay getting From The Basement shown in the UK: the original broadcaster decided not to show it, but we are working on it getting it shown on another channel.
Yes it rains at the end, and the wet smudges the lights and everything spins out nicely. We loved playing at Glastonbury, and can't wait to do it again soon
The first in a series of remixes on 12" vinyl will be released on Monday 4th July (or Tuesday in the US & Canada).
The series kicks off with Caribou remixing Little by Little, and a remix of Lotus Flower by Jacques Greene, both of which we we're really excited about.
Hopefully you will find the vinyl in your local independent record shop, but if not, you can buy by mailorder here from the 4th. If you don't have a record player, high quality digital WAV or FLAC versions will be available here, here and here, or as MP3 or WAV from our own site here. Or you can just listen to them here:
More 12" remixes will be released every couple of weeks over the summer until we run out of remixes... or summer. On the next one we've got Nathan Fake (Morning Mr Magpie) and remixes of Bloom by Mark Pritchard.

IT CUTS BOTH WAYS .... THE ALTERNATIVES. This is a film exposing the alternatives to the government's austerity measures; it's about the positive; it's about revealing the many options we actually have at a time when we're being told there are no alternatives
