New Futureheads - "Broke Up The Time"
The Futureheads blast the web today with a new track, offered up for your consideration in streamable, downloadable, or viewable format. Here's the version you watch -- obviously not a "proper" vid, more "made up from clips filmed by the band in the studio." It's behind-the-scenes, a little home movie-ish ala the A'Monks recent "Teddy Picker" clip, all shaggy and loose like. The Monks' version was a bit better, but that's the difference between shooting it yourself and bringing in Roman Coppola.
Forget the DIY video -- it's a very good song ... a nice breath of bouncy post-punk to get you through the onset of winter (though looks sorta rainy and depressing in the clip; then, it is the UK). "Broke Up The Time"'s from their forthcoming third record, which we're looking forward to, thank you. If you're not the watching type, you can download the tune at the band's official site after handing over your email and zip code (or postal code). Paranoid or afraid of commitment? Stream it at their MySpace.
UPDATE: Actually, now it's just a free download. So here you go...

Now that's the stuff, F-heads!
I was hoping for a strong rebound for the Mackems off a hot-and-cold second record, back to the brilliance of the first one. Now I can't wait.

That sounds worlds better than anything on News and Tributes. Nice to hear them returning to what made them enjoyable in the first place.
