Any Port In A Storm is the new record by Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, the noisy indie-pop songwriting project of Craig Dermody. On “Fakin NYC,” the native Australian deadpans lines about the confusion he’s feeling after moving to New York. He chronicles a firsthand experience working as a security guard at a super-exclusive nightclub, and a general disillusionment with the people one might run into there. “Fakin’ in New York City / I’ll let you in on a secret of mine,” Dermody sings. “I don’t know what I’m doing any of the time.” Check it out below. Any Port is out in July via Fire Records and includes the band’s first new recordings in over two years, following a debut LP Para Vista Social Club as well as the Two Weeks EP.

The De La Soul reunion tour hit Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Friday night. Though the group dropped a brand new song just last month, they opted to perform two classics with help from The Roots: “Jenifa Taught Me” and A Roller Skating Jam Named ‘Saturdays’”. Watch the replay below.

Kurt Vile and the Violators worked for their weekend Friday night with an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. The Philadelphia rockers shampooed a nice rendition of 

Drowned in Sound is very pleased to announce that we've taken over from The Guardian, as England's representative in a global network of bloggers who champion their country's local music scene known as the Music Alliance Pact (or MAP for short - see what they did there?).

As you will see below, what this entails is once a month DiS submitting a track we recommend to a compilation that goes up on each blog who have also shared a choice. It's a great initiative and we're very pleased to be a part of it, as it's a fantastic way to champion the new music that we really love further afield, outside of the walls of DiS. Plus for you music loving readers, this means you are presented with oooodles of music from around the world to check out on a free(!) download compilation album.

This will now be happening on DiS each month until they ask us to stop, so we hope you like it and let us know in the comments below if you discover anything interesting from the submissions from the rest of the network.

For DiS' first submission, we suggested a name that is quite possibly familiar to a few of you.

Tip: Click the play button icon to listen to individual songs, right-click on the song title to download an mp3, or grab a zip file of the full 36-track compilation through Ge.tt here.
