” Italians Do It Better on the slight discrepancy between the tracklist that’s been floating around and the final tracklist:
“NIGHT SHIFT & JOHANNA WILL COME OUT EVENTUALLY. AND THE GLASS CANDY SONGS WILL BE ON “BODY WORK”. JOHNNY HAD 27 TRACKS MIXED & MASTERED FOR AFTER DARK 2. BUT THESE 15 WERE WHAT HE SAID …”COMPLETED THE ETIRE VISION OF THE RECORD”… FOR EXAMPLE, “CHERRY” & “LOOKING FOR LOVE” WERE BOTH RECORDED & MIXED BEFORE “KILL FOR LOVE” WAS RELEASED…BUT HE THOUGHT THEY FIT AFTER DARK 2′S PURPOSE MORE”

[LISTEN UP] MIRAGE - LETS KISS
“Let’s Kiss” was written the same week as “Under Your Spell” in November 2008. After a bizarre & beautiful twist of fate, I walked into a remote bar in Montreal where I met the love of my life. The next morning… Ida & I had to leave. We flew to France for a handful of sweaty club shows. On the train out of Paris, I realized my whole world had been permanently turned upside down. The rain was crashing against the windows… & I decided I wanted to make a record that felt like that moment frozen in time… “For Ever Ever”. That’s when After Dark 2 was born. The last five years have been a blur of art & parties. This record represents the people we’ve connected with along the way…in Moscow, in Mexico, in Barcelona, in London, in Portland, in Montreal, in Melbourne, in Houston, in Berlin, in Beijing, in Los Angeles, in Dublin, in Athens… I am so excited to finally be sharing it with you. In 20 minutes, Ida & I get on a plane to Warsaw for our first tour overseas with Chromatics. Even though she is on crutches thanks to a brutal Roller Derby pile up on Sunday… we can’t wait to see all of you again… it’s been way too long. After Dark 2 is out this Friday.
It’s 78 minutes & 16 seconds.
See you on the train!
xo Johnny Jewel”

[LISTEN UP] KEEP SHELLY IN ATHENS - MADMEN LOVE [MIKE SIMONETTI REMIX]
The first single from the long-awaited debut full-length album by Keep Shelly in Athens is equal parts sinister and syncopated. On this remix, Mike Simonetti of Italians Do It Better takes the track in an even darker direction. Winding its way through an urban landscape of flickering lights and downward glances, 'Madmen Love' builds slowly upwards, bursting into a procession of drums and angular guitar chords, before slinking back to its staccato footsteps. Keep Shelly in Athens' album will launch this Fall on Cascine. Listen to the original track at HERE. It's also available to buy now via Sixteen Tambourines as a limited edition 7" which you can order HERE.
