Bristol group LICE have released their new single Arbiter via their own label SETTLED LAW. The A side is woozy, disorientating and industrial, a brilliantly deranged savaging of modern day mindless fad-following that is menacing and confrontational and uncompromising – unlike so much else that is out there. It is backed with Folla, an experimental mash of the weird and the wired, intoned vocals over samples … Continue reading New Single From LICE

Melbourne quintet Bananagun have today shared a new single from their forthcoming album The True Story of Bananagun. The Master is a hectic, rhythmic excursion into colourful psych-pop that is exotic, vibrant and pretty much irresistible. The band draw on 60s and 70s Afrobeat, the proto-garage rhythmic fury of The Monks, and the grooves of Os Mutantes, shaping it all into their own melting pot of tropical … Continue reading Bananagun – The Master

After nearly a decade apart, ex Pity Party members, and long standing partners in musical crime Julie Edwards (aka ‘Heisenflei’) and Marc Smollin (aka “M”) have reunited under the moniker Heads are Heavy – returning with a mysterious video for an equally uncanny song, That Sounds Okay. Shot in Puglia, Italy, the dreamlike, dystopian scenes of fields ablaze, abandoned homes, and industrial devastation provide a … Continue reading Try Some ‘Downer Pop’ from Heads are Heavy
Formed in a summer haze back in 2016, pysch-trio LEECHES meld infectious garage rock with pop hooks and fuzzy alt-rock. Watch the video for meandering hypnotiser All Of The People, the track crawls along on a tightly wound groove, its light guitars and dual vocals drifting in and out of focus as the bass drags the track along. With a wave of fuzz and splashing drums exploding … Continue reading New Video: LEECHES – All Of The People

Nottingham trio Attraktors have a rich pedigree comprised of former members of Julian Cope’s band, Six By Seven, Bivouac, The Selector and The Nectarine No. 9, who together make a rather fetching noise amalgamating the best bits of krautrock, kosmische, spacerock, artrock and synthpop into a single idealised whole. Travelling a gamut from proto-punk to moments of melancholy whimsy, the record remains resolutely anchored within its … Continue reading Introducing >>> Attraktors
