This Friday, Montreal’s intent\u00a0Majical Cloudz<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0will release their sophomore album, Are You Alone?<\/strong><\/em>, on Matador Records<\/strong>. \u00a0The band is duo Devon Welsh<\/strong> and Matthew Otto<\/strong>, and last week they released the addicting track\/video Downtown<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0 Check out Downtown <\/strong><\/em>along with the new album’s title track\u00a0below. \u00a0We particularly love Downtown<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and its unnerving devotion that smacks of Bryan Ferry<\/strong> covering Joy Division<\/strong>.\u00a0 We are also heavily enamored by Are You Alone?<\/strong> <\/em>because Radiohead’s Motion Picture Soundtrack<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is one of the great songs written and deserves constant amplification. \u00a0Here, Majical Cloudz<\/strong> gently lift the original’s lyrics and make it their own. \u00a0Go pre-order\/buy Are You Alone? HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
