Air France: It Feels Good To Be Around You
A blueprint for how to send 'The Blogs' mad.
1. Be Swedish. Blogs love Swedes.
2. Try to take at least a few years away. Three is optimum. Long enough for everyone to get misty eyed, but not so long you're not still influencing new acts.
3. Suggest your comeback is on the way with something reasonably enigmatic. Teaser videos are awfully now.
4. Make sure your comeback track is remixed by someone who is on a hot streak. Star Slinger would be a good bet.
5. Make sure said track is really bleedin' excellent.
Air France - congratulations! Full house! Check out 'It Feels Good To Be round You' below:

One Thing: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
We're kicking off a brand new series here at Neu!. Having spent the best part of the morning stumbling over names, we've finally settled on "One Thing", for that's what it is: a bunch of bands telling us the one thing they think everyone should know about them.

Fear Of Men: Ritual Confession
Few bands get the kind of outpouring of love we've seen for Fear Of Men over recent months, and even fewer actually warrant it. This London/Brighton four piece deserve all the platitudes they receive.
