Ahead of the release of their ‘Sadako’ EP, Fairchild have unveiled the video for new track ‘Arcadia’.

To create the fun, energetic visual, every frame from the clip was printed onto A4 paper, hand painted and photographed back into the timeline for a stop-motion effect - totalling over 4000 frames. The video was produced by the band’s bassist, Tommy Davies and directed by Turk Lees.

The Queensland outfit’s ‘Sadako’ EP is out on 17th November via Canvas Sounds. The six-track EP was recorded in vocalist Adam Lyons' bedroom before being mixed by Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice) in London. It follows the band’s debut EP, ‘Burning Feet’.

Over the past eighteen months, Fairchild have been touring through Hong Kong, China and North America, as well as playing Singapore’s Music Matters and Canadian Music Week, refining their live shows. The band also includes Adam’s older brother Nathan Lyons on keys, guitarists Patrick Huerto and Tim Voeten and drummer James Alexander.

The Dark Entries label announces us the release of a remix EP of Psychic TV's classic acid song "Alien Be-In", due for release on January 13th 2015. The remix EP will hold remixes from Fred Giannelli, Silent Servant and John Tejada and the 12" is housed in a metallic silver die-cut sleeve and a neon green label, featuring the psychic skull transformed into an alien cone head by designer Eloise Leigh. 

Each copy includes a 2-sided 11x11 square insert with black and white photo of the band from 1988 and liner notes by Fred Giannelli. All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley.

"Alien Be-In" was written in early 1989 on an E-mu Emax Sampler and an Alesis MMT-8 sequencer. Vocal samples were taken from a tape American investigative reporter Don Bolles sent to Genesis. Genesis played a spaced out Echo Violin and the band used 360 degree panning rotation devices. (...)

"Scarface"/"Carlito's Way" duo Brian De Palma and Al Pacino have evidently been trying to find a way to work together again. Over at HBO, the pair was working on "Happy Valley," a project about the 2011 Penn State scandal until the network halted production in September, and there has been zero word since. But the pair have lined up another gig.

Screen Daily reports that De Palma and Pacino are teaming for "Retribution."lLoosely based on the 2003 Belgian thriller "The Memory Of A Killer" (trailer below), the story follows a cop and a hitman who work together to stop a child prostitution ring. No word on who penned the script, but color us interested.
