100 Gets ‘1000 Gecs & The Tree Of Clues’ out 10th July 2020

100 gecs 'money machine' Shot by gabe howell

Their debut album 1000 gecs was released in 2019, and they’ve racked up 9,000,000 Spotify streams on “money machine” alone. They are yet to break into the mainstream electronic world, however, but with music as wobbly and industrial as theirs, it’s anyone’s guess if they ever will – or if it even matters.

The duo’s remix album 1,000 gecs and the Tree Of Clues consists of nineteen outrageous mismatched and misaligned tracks featuring a hoarde of guests that would make the nearest...

Lenker made the record (out on 4AD) in a one-room cabin in the woods of Western Massachusetts where she holed up in spring, waiting out the early days of the pandemic and reeling from a broken heart. The simple pinewood planks of the shack’s interior reminded her, she said, of “the inside of an acoustic guitar,” which is to say it felt like home. Her friend Philip Weinrobe, a recording engineer, was summoned with a truckload of gear: half-inch tape machines, XLR cables, a binaural mic. ...

An unabashed and addictive theme song for safeguarding yourself, your body, and your soul, “UPWARDS” is unforgettable on its first listen. The song is propelled by an unrelenting pulse and sharp refrain, as Ela chants repeatedly, “I’d love to save you, but you’ve got to save yourself,” while aggressive, busy synths bounce underneath, evoking the feeling of lasers waging war against the song...

Emily Barker ‘A Dark Murmuration of Words’ out 4th September 2020

The songs on the album are an exploration of climate change, racism, sexism, and myths of economic progress through the lens of constant questioning of what it means to feel at “home.” – searching for connections between these themes and how they shape the rapidly shifting modern world we live in. Finding meaning becomes challenging with the deafening clamour of social media in this age of fake news and algorithmically filtered conversations, but it feels important to try.

Barely a year since their debut Dogrel earned them a spot as one of the most acclaimed new bands of 2019, Fontaines D.C. is back with ‘A Hero’s Death’. Arriving battered and bruised – albeit beautiful – the album is anything but a re-hash of the swaggering energy from their first record. Instead the music is patient, confident, and complex – full of heady and philosophical takes on the modern world and its great uncertainty. READ MORE

Porches announce sixth album ‘Shirt’ and release single “Joker”

Porches, the recording project of NYC’s Aaron Maine, announces his sixth studio album Shirt, out September 13th via Domino Records. A fusion of chaotic impulses, insatiable desires, and a perpetual yearning, Shirt plays with the tension between one’s person and persona.

Protomartyr ‘Ultimate Success Today’ out 17th July 2020

'Processed By The Boys' Director: David Allen

Ultimate Success Today is Protomartyr‘s fifth album. Following the release of Relatives In Descent, the band’s critically acclaimed headlong dive into the morass of American life in 2017.

The video for ‘Processed By The Boys’, directed by David Allen & Nathan Faustyn and produced by HLPTV & LooseMeat.Biz, is a play on a bizarre Brazilian TV clip the band became infatuated with. A man sings to a studio audience, while a member of the audience becomes enraged by a puppet, le...

Formal Growth In The Desert was recorded at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas and whilst Casey did have a humbling experience staring at awe-inspiring Sonoran rock formations and reckoning with his own smallness in the scheme of things, the group’s sixth album is not ne...

Raf Rundell ‘O.M.Days’ Out 9th April 2021

Film by Milo at Speedwagon Productions

Earlier this year we were dreaming of a better future. Sequestered on a hilltop a plan floated over on the air. We would name the first full moon after summer solstice 2020 the O.M.Days moon. We approached a landowner who already had a small Viking encampment in his grounds. Could we..? Yes we could. We are still unsure what happened. Perhaps it was a profound magical experience. Perhaps it was a load of wankers from London who’d been indoors too long let loose on a midsummer night. Either...
