Fat White Family have been busy recording the follow up to 2013 debut ‘Champagne Holocaust’ and have been using John Lennon’s old Beatles equipment while working on the record at his son Sean’s recording studio in New York City.

The south London band’s new album is being co-produced by Sean Lennon after the band met him at a performance at SXSW in 2014. Work on the record has taken place at Lennon’s state-of-the-art studio in a remote upstate mansion owned by Yoko Ono.

The Brixton-based six-piece recently returned to the UK to play a chaotic headline set at London’s Visions Festival. Read the live report and view the full set-list here.

Meanwhile, Canadian singer-songwriter Mac DeMarco recently released new mini-album ‘Another One’, the follow up to 2014 LP ‘Salad Days’, NME’s Number Two album of last year.

In a recent live session, DeMarco performed new song ‘No Other Heart’ on a rowboat he bought on his birthday. Watch the session here.
