Brooklyn-based chillwave/indie pop band Small Black have announced the release of their new studio album 'Cheap Dreams'.
The 11-track record will be release on April 9th on 100% Electronica. Pre-order your copy here.
Making their way through three LPs and multiple incarnations of the band, they became a touring machine across America and overseas throughout the last decade. After five years, Cheap Dreams finds the band taking stock on where they’re from and where they’ve ended up.
The album pays tribute to Kolenik’s uncle, a passionate surfer whose attic in Long Island was used for making their first album. Shortly after the release of their 2015 album, he passed from a stroke while at the beach and a good chunk of the record is about his life and how it reflects on the band’s choice to try to live out theirs as musicians.

Hamburg indie pop/electronic band Fuck Art, Let's Dance! have unveiled the video for "Atlas".
The song is a classic tune here on Kool Rock Radio and is the title track of their excellent debut album 'Atlas', which was released in April last year through Audiolith Records. Get your copy here, if you haven't already.
About the track's themes and the video's production, the band said: "Atlas’ theme is about despair. An insoluble situation where the only end is your own demise. The fight between good and evil was the perfect choice to represent the essence of the song. A determined woman fighting a vicious red dragon, which is responsible for taking the life of a dearly loved person. We’re all fans of 70’s asian martial arts flicks, so we immediately settled with this idea and got to work with Miguel Vasquez and Il Kang, our directors. They’ve assembled a great team and we’re proud of the result to kick off a great 2015."

Brooklyn electro-indie pop band Small Black have unleashed the video for their latest single "Real People".
The song, featuring Frankie Rose, is taken from their upcoming EP of the same name, which will come out on April 1 via Jagjaguwar. The five-track EP was recorded quickly, using the "first thought, best thought" method, singer Josh Kolenik said. Pre-order your copy here.
About the title-track, Kolenik says: "Real People" was inspired by Colton Harris-Moore AKA 'The Barefoot Bandit,' a teenager from rural Washington who went on a crime spree/adventure, sleeping in people's vacation homes and stealing & crashing airplanes. It's hard not to be taken by his story. He's maybe as close to Jesse James as we're going to get post millennium. Also one of the planes was stolen from the Bloomington airport, home of the mighty Jagjaguwar HQ. Frankie Rose guests. (spin)
