NAME: The Go! Team PROGRESS REPORT: Recording the followup to 2007's Proof Of Youth at Brighton Electric Studios in Brighton. "Some people think of music as self-expression, where you're pouring things out. I think of it as mining," says Go! Team's leader Ian Parton. From The Go! Team's past records, a bright collage of grainy samples, playground double-dares, and manic guitars, his mining sounds like a lot of digging through record bins and messing around with the pieces on his laptop. But that's not how Go! Team songs start out, especially for this record. For one, Parton says the emphasis will be on "singing and melody" here more than on the last two records. And his mining is a lot like that of other Progress Report songwriter -- recording every idea onto tape, or on his cell phone, then seeing which ones stick with him past the initial stage. "I hoard ideas," he says. "Someone once described it like a Ray Mears-style water filtration system. I do the same with samples -- I stick 'em down and then focus on the best ones. This time I've been mostly fitting them to a song I've written rather than using it as a basis for a song." Thus many of Parton's songs begin on acoustic guitar, played in his kitchen.

When we posted “T.O.R.N.A.D.O.” from the Go! Team’s forthcoming Rolling Blackouts, I mentioned the collection also included a song featuring Best Cost’s Bethany Cosentino. The chirpy “Buy Nothing Day” is that song: Cosentino definitely leaves her imprint.(Via The Guardian)Rolling Blacko...
