Brilliantly delivering their own louche take on NYC-indebted rock, Dublin art-punks Silverbacks are releasing their new single Dunkirk today via their own PK Miami Records. Underpinned by an insistent, nagging bassline and creepy crawly guitar lines, it provides the ideal vehicle for frontman Daniel O’Kelly’s stream of consciousness ramblings about martial strife, the perfect sandcastle and spotting a con artist when he sees one. Produced by … Continue reading Introducing >>> Silverbacks
Space rock legends Spiritualized have announced news of their new studio album, And Nothing Hurt, due for release 7 September via Bella Union in the UK/Europe and Fat Possum in the US.

Feels comes from the debut album from Chicago based Deeper. Nine tracks channel the anxiety and uneasiness of modern life in this pit of endless internet, chiming post punk rave ups with pointed “of the times” lyrics and some tatsy ambient interludes woven in. Have a listen. Continue reading Deeper – Feels
At the tail end of last year we shared Drahla’s excellent track Silk Spirit, and now the Leeds three-piece have signed with Brooklyn’s wonderful Captured Tracks label and are back with a new single, Twelve Divisions Of The Day. It is another naggingly insistent tune blending the band’s wiry art-rock with krautrock inspired experimentalism, all underpinned by singer/guitarist Luciel Brown’s captivating spoken drawl. Love this. … Continue reading Drahla – Twelve Divisions Of The Day
Goat Girl first properly came to our attention last year, and their subsequent self-titled debut long player, which came out in April has proved to be an absolute delight. Viper Fish is one of the nineteen songs on the album – all short, sharp, and jagged, filled with ominous foreboding, and with just the right amount of gothic twang – like the Handsome Family meets … Continue reading New Video: Goat Girl – Viper Fish
black midi are an enigmatic new London four-piece that are building quite a buzz for themselves. Taut, frenetic, inventive, and with an off-kilter sound that is so completely their own, it is hard to find adequate words to describe their first single proper, bmbmbm. The best we can do is some anarchic mix of Girl Band, Fat White Family and Scottish legend Ivor Cutler. Make of … Continue reading Introducing >>> black midi
