Kitsuné Records is to Ed Banger what K Records is to Dead Oceans. The younger labels may be plenty cool in their own right and might be releasing stuff by exciting new talent, but it's always the older, more established ones that will leave the greatest impact in the long run.
Kitsuné has been abuzz with releases recently, making them all the more alluring... a new seasonal compilation came out a few months back, a Fiscerspooner single dropped, a Kitsuné clothing boutique opened in Paris, and Cazals burst onto the scene.
The London quartet was originally noticed for *gasp* being longtime friends of Mr. Pete Doherty's, but who really cares? Fortunately, they've been releasing angsty and angular indie-rock dance tracks consistently for a couple years now, building their reputation off the strength of their boss cuts rather than the fact that they used to play Legos with the Babyshambles crooner.
The four piece's second single, "Somebody, Somewhere," hits stores on May 5, so while you can't get your hands on that one quite yet, you can pick up a remix of the spicy tune by Lifelike and get the gist of what craziness you're in for with the forthcoming song.
Kitsuné is asking that people join the Cazals' mailing list in order to get the freebie, but since we see eye-to-eye with the French music (and fashion!) powerhouse, they've agreed to let us post the 192 kbps MP3 here, no trade required.
Good deal, right? Enjoy!
