[Extract] Heavy funk Dystopia-punk canons Lonnnnng jams Bloated solos dribbling down your caved-in chest. Human cattle like a beef avalanche, right on your burned out face hole. Spider legs fuzz crawling in your brain. Face Stabber, the latest long player from the Oh Sees is released on Friday. This is a very good thing. Continue reading Oh Sees – Face Stabber
Elvis Depressedly, the wonderfully enigmatic project of prolific songwriter, Mathew Lee Cothran, has announced Depressedelica, a brand new full-length due out October 4th from Run For Cover Records. Depressedelica marks the North Carolina based musician’s first new album as Elvis Depressedly in four long years, and it finds him writing and recording more adventurously than ever before, tipping its cap to artists as varied as … Continue reading Elvis Depressedly – Jane, Don’t You Know Me?
We shared their brilliant Bad Blood single back in January and now newly signed to Heavenly Recordings, Working Men’s Club’s pounding new single Teeth is a stomping masterpiece, one that bites deep into their broad influences, bringing in machine-subverted rave music you’d find in 80s Detroit, to their NY post-punk grooves, and all delivered with their marvellous Northern snarling approach. Watch the video here. Catch them … Continue reading Working Men’s Club – Teeth
Known for delivering layered echo-drenched guitar with heavy, relentless drums, London based duo Black Doldrums are returning with their expansive new EP She Divine on Club AC30. The title refers to Aldous Huxley’s 1954 psychedelia-induced masterpiece The Doors of Perception, where constant reference is made to the search for divinity and how all cultures are united in the need for that same search. Utilising waves of … Continue reading Black Doldrums – She Divine EP
Famed for their wall of sound, and notoriously difficult to label (they themselves describe their music as “psychedelic, socialist, utopian, death raga, erroneous funk, trapdoor jazz, bastard muzak“), the origins of Meatraffle are lost in obscurity although it has been said that they came about as the result of a drunken afternoon shared by Clams Baker and Zsa Zsa Sapien in a South London Wetherspoon … Continue reading Meatraffle – The Day The Earth Stood Still
BEAK> are back with some brand new music in the form of Life Goes On – the first track to be lifted from a forthcoming EP. The track is inspired directly from a recent trip to Mexico City for a festival when the band awoke to the sound of a distorted young girls’ voice bellowing across the city. Further investigation revealed the source as a recording used by scrap-collecting … Continue reading BEAK> – Life Goes On

We’re very much looking forward to getting our grubby mitts on A.A. Bondy’s new album Enderness – his first for eight long years. We’ve already shared Images of Love from it, and here’s a second track from the record. Killers 3 is a melancholy, hymn-like song that we have found ourselves coming back to time and time again today. It mixes elements of folk, electronic flourishes … Continue reading A.A. Bondy – Killers 3
Here is a second taste from the Fat White Family’s upcoming album Serfs Up! Tastes Good With The Money is built on the back of a scuzzy slow burn of a glam rock riff, absurd lyrics that drop with sordid innuendo and a vocal cameo from Baxter Dury. Throw in a surreal Monty Python inspired video and you’ve got all the ingredients for another irresistible, … Continue reading Fat White Family – Tastes Good With The Money
