PJ Harvey - The Wheel


The Hope Six Demolition Project is the upcoming ninth studio album by English singer-songwriter and musician PJ Harvey. Scheduled to be released on 15 April 2016 on Island Records, the album is Harvey's first since her acclaimed Mercury Prize-winning album Let England Shake, released in 2011.

The album's title is a reference to the HOPE VI projects in the United States, "where run-down public housing in areas with high crime rates has been demolished to make room for better housing, but with the effect that many previous residents could no longer afford to live there, leading to claims of social cleansing." The HOPE VI program is directly referenced in the album's opening track and second single "The Community of Hope". The title is inspired by Harvey's trip to Washington D.C. with photographer/filmmaker Seamus Murphy where she was given a tour by Paul Schwartzman of The Washington Post, who directly influenced some of the lyrics on the song. Upon its release, the song drew criticism directly from council members of Ward 7 in Washington, D.C.




Today's tune "The Wheel" is the tenth track and lead single from her ninth studio album, "The Hope Six Demolition Project" and was released digitally on 22 January 2016 and physically on 4 March 2016 on Island Records.

The song was premiered on Steve Lamacq's show on BBC Radio 6 Music on 21 January 2016, the day before its release.

The music video for "The Wheel" was released on 1 February 2016 and was directed by Seamus Murphy. In a statement to Noisey, Harvey said:

When I’m writing a song I visualize the entire scene. I can see the colors, I can tell the time of day, I can sense the mood, I can see the light changing, the shadows moving, everything in that picture. Gathering information from secondary sources felt too far removed for what I was trying to write about. I wanted to smell the air, feel the soil and meet the people of the countries I was fascinated with.

Since 1990, he has released a further six studio albums and has received critical recognition and moderate commercial success.

In an interview with The Quietus, Lanegan stated that he used a phone app called FunkBox to write the drum parts on some of the songs.

Foals - Inhaler


Foals are an English rock band from Oxford, England. They are currently signed to Transgressive Records in the United Kingdom and Sub Pop in the United States.

They released their debut album Antidotes on 24 March 2008. The band's second album, Total Life Forever, was released on 10 May 2010. The band's first mixtape Tapes was released on 3 July 2012 as part of the !K7 series. The band's third album Holy Fire was released on 11 February 2013.


The latest record is produced by the duo Flood and Alan Moulder at Assault & Battery Studios in Willesden, North West London. Flood and Moulder's previous credits include work with The Smashing Pumpkins, PJ Harvey, Nine Inch Nails and The Killers.

Todays tune "Inhaler" is a the first single from British band Foals for their third studio album Holy Fire, released on 11 February 2013. The track and music video were released on 5 November 2012 in the United Kingdom. Inhaler is really the track that stands out on the album, a real lead single from a pretty tidy album, everything starts as a fraudulent hiking outdoors - until that drunk staggers in and create disorder as a big, swashbuckling gorilla filled with swampy riffs powerful enough to make you wake up.

Amebix - Knights of the Black Sun


 Since we can not quite agree on a common list for this year's top 10 albums, it will be a list from each one of us on the same day, one list position in the morning and same in the evening, it will generate a lot of music here at the Tune Of The Day during these days. This year's list has been really difficult to tie together, started with a Top 50 and was sift hard, ended up that I had to go on the most listening records and many that in the beginning was obvious was removed. Right or wrong, judge youreselfs, hard as hell, I must say.

We start by presenting the positions outside the Top 10 that I, Stones have, that is 11-20 just like last year.

Top 11 - 20 on Tune Of The Day

11. Ghost Brigade - Until Fear No Longer Defines Us
12. Wooden Shjips - West
13. Hong Faux - The Crown That Wears The Head
14. In Flames - Sounds Of A Playground Fading
15. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
16. Pyramido - Salt
17. In Solitude - The World, The Flesh, The Devil
18. Black Country Communion - 2
19. Amebix - Sonic Mass
20. Blood Ceremony - Living With The Ancients

Today I pick a song from an album that has grown a lot recently, but unfortunately it has got too little playing time in order to stretch higher and pinch a position in the Top 10. This band is actually quite new to me (Thanks Tom for the tip), Ive heard the name mentioned a lot over the years, but I have to admit, didnt really find out more about them, it has just passed me. This record is actually really good and I recommended this highly.


Amebix are an English crust punk/heavy metal band. Formed as "The Band with No Name," Amebix's original run was from 1978 to 1987, during which time they released three EPs and two full-length LPs. The group has reunited as of 2008.

By being one of the first bands to blend anarcho-punk and heavy metal music, Amebix are often cited as one of the key bands that helped to create the crust punk style. Such notable bands as Sepultura, Neurosis and Deviated Instinct have paid homage to the band.



Todays tune "Knights of the Black Sun " is the first single from the latest release "Sonic Mass", released in 2011
