THE NETHERLANDS & POLITICS SPLIT SINGLE / POLITICS VIDEO

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 20:16:16 +0200

Hi everybody, 
The Netherlands & Politics are celebrating their upcoming show together (Politics’ release party at the Exit in October) by releasing a split EP. Tour EPs are quite common, but I suppose this marks the world’s first Gig EP! 
The EP features two songs off of The Netherlands’ gorgeous debut album “We Are Not The Netherlands” as well as two Politics songs off of the upcoming album “Love & Molasses”. 
The EP is available for download from iTunes. 
For €1,49 it will give you a sneak peek of the new Politics album as well as a sneak re-revealing of The Netherlands‘ album for everyone who missed out on them first time around.  Also, we want to thank Eelke Dekker (“Afslag Ewoud”) for making a very nice video for the Politics song “Always Something”. Watch the Youtube version below, or the higher quality Vimeo version on the right.

Ta, J&A

POLITICS "LOVE & MOLASSES" OUT OCTOBER 16

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 09:53:54 +0200

Just arrived: A shipment of the new Politics album which we’ll unleash on October 16. Seeing how we’re always late in our announcements, we decided to be early this time around:

Join us for the release party at Exit Rotterdam on October 16! Also on the bill: The Netherlands.

Press blurb:
"Love & Molasses" is Politics' second full-length album and will be released October 16 2010. It is the follow-up to their unanimously well received 2007 debut “Hands Off My RIot”
 "Love & Molasses” was again recorded with producer and engineer Remko Schouten at the helm (Pavement, Mono, Coparck, Caesar).
 While remaining songsmiths at heart this new album sees Politics explore an edgier, more experimental side of pop adding more crunch to their sparkle.

And in other news, you will start to see iTunes buttons popping up on these pages. If a release has an iTunes button next to it, it will direct you to the iTunes Store for your downloading pleasure.
