Seattle group Versing will release their Hardly Art full-length debut, 10000 on the 3rd May. Taking cues from bands as diverse as Wire, The Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, it is a record that fuses lustrous noise and ebullient melody.

Quite literally just last week I was talking to someone about what had happened to A.A.Bondy who was last heard of (musically at least) back in 2011 when he released the outstanding Believers, itself a follow-up to 2009’s equally brilliant When The Devil’s Loose album. Two fabulous records from a brilliant songwriter who then just seemed to disappear without trace. I was excited for a … Continue reading After Eight Long Years… A.A. Bondy Returns
