We’re late to it, but we’re loving this track, Silk Spirit, from Leeds three-piece Drahla. It comes from their debut EP Third Article and blends wiry post-punk with splash of unpredictable art rock, and is anchored by a woozy, nagging riff that is a sonic delight.

We’ve been remiss in sharing details of Wooden Wand’s Toth’s Law recordings. Volume 1 came out back in June, which we did cover, but Volumes 2 and 3 have followed since then. They are collections of outtakes, demos and songs that never, for one reason or another, made it onto his other recording output.
