After its release in 2022, Unlearning picked up nominations for the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award and AIM Independent Album of the Year, while shows at SXSW, festivals across Europe and support stints with Primal Scream and Duran Duran saw the band reach new fanbases and cross genre divides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTaking the cinematic glam of their debut and pushing it further, the band brought in classically trained orchestral musicians. Sonically, the horns, woodwind and swelling string sections lend an entirely new level to the Walt Disco sound - one that feels both fantastically organic and technically accomplished. While the foundations were laid during pre-album recording sessions at Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music’s studio the songs themselves largely come together in collaboration. In comparison to the ‘Frankensteined’ recording process for Unlearning, stitched together across a digital divide of necessity during lockdown, The Warping was co-produced by the band and Chris McCrory, with engineering from The Vale studios’ Chris D’Adda, and the instrumentation is almost entirely analogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDeft lyricism takes in deeply personal issues and writes them large, transposing feelings of envy, fear, joy and hope out of individual experiences. Yearning for another self is a recurring dream on The Warping, as they explore gender dysphoria and envy with radical honesty, accepting them as two tangled threads in the same experience. The world, the band note, can feel like a hostile environment at the moment - especially for queer people, trans people, or anyone who is different. But they aren’t going to let that stop them. Jocelyn agrees. ‘If I’m beaten down by it, I’m not going to be able to pay it forward and act accordingly,’ they say.

Former Purling Hiss bassist Daniel Provenzano \u0026amp; Ecstatic Vision sax-player \u0026amp; vocalist Kevin Nickles' first musical missive was shot forth in 2013 (the self-released CDR \"Live In Space\") \u0026amp; various singles, split releases, albums (and a double-album) later we arrive at the duo's fourth full-length \"Mythology\", their third for Chicago-based Trouble In Mind Records. \"Mythology\" picks up the pieces left shattered by their previous double-album \"Chart For The Solution\" and reconnects the broken shards together like Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese technique for mending broken ceramics, infusing the breaks with powdered gold. The Squares themselves are like mad-scientists, taking the ruined detritus populating junk shops \u0026amp; surplus outlets \u0026amp; constructing their own sonic laboratories in their New Jersey basements to record, mix \u0026amp; tweak \"Mythology\"'s eight tracks. Their new location allowed the band to regroup, reassess \u0026amp; reconstruct their sound from the ground up, shearing away the cosmic excess of 2021's \"Chart For The Solution\" to a sharper point. Tracks like 'Barbarians' \u0026amp; 'LEM' are classic Squares; brutal, aggressive, unwavering assault of Motorhead\/Stooges-inflected sci-fi punk scree, while others like 'Chromatophage's mutant funk \u0026amp; 'Cerberu''s techno-slink owe a serious debt to electric-era Miles Davis \u0026amp; show that the group has more to offer than bludgeoning you with sonic force. Provenzano's bass \u0026amp; electronics are like a tank rolling across the terrain - a gnarly construct of Hawkwind-ian headiness \u0026amp; 'Vincebus Eruptum's snarl - uncaring of what gets in the way. Nickles' brass vacillates between Stooges-influenced sleaze, jazzy no-wave stabs, \u0026amp; cacophonous sonic storms, strafing the listener into oblivion. The duo are joined on \"Mythology\" by drummer John Schoemaker - who contributed drums to \"Chart For The Solution\"'s epic closing track 'Epilogue' - whose percussive pulse adds an organic swing to The Square's sonics, particularly on album closer \"The Damned Thing\"'s cosmic strut. \"Mythology\" tackles a multitude of themes, from fantastical tales of hellhound 'Cerberus' or the comic-inspired \"Eternity\" to 'Chromatophage's colorful\/evil yarn about animals that eat colors (or a Magic: The Gathering card) to the true-life influenced 'Acid Rain' that deals with the uncertainty of consuming drinking water after a chemical spill in the Delaware River. Elsewhere, 'Ferrell' is an homage to the late, great Ferrell \"Pharaoh\" Sanders \u0026amp; 'The Damned Thing' by a short horror story penned by Ambrose Bierce about an animal whose coloring is invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Writhing Squares","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48161558921510,"sku":"TIM187LPC1","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7734\/2621\/files\/IMG_9171.jpg?v=1714042994"},{"product_id":"minecraft-volume-alpha-repress-green-vinyl","title":"Minecraft Volume Alpha (Repress): Green Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel: Ghostly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: Shipping Jan 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDefinitely one of those 'this is for the \"kids record collection\" albums', which only you play because it's a modern new age electronic dream world classic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"152\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/1OJxI8lIWRqBvouJxW1nzN?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMinecraft is a dreamscape, a limitless world where anything is possible. Minecraft is a tool, a means of bringing the imagination to life. Minecraft is a community, a platform on which inventive minds of all ages can share their creations and ideas. Minecraft, of course, is also a game, the most popular and best-selling video game of all time. Originally created in 2009 by Swedish programmer Markus \"Notch\" Persson, this cultural phenomenon speaks volumes of our current zeitgeist's love for virtual spaces, but its unprecedented success couldn't be pinned on one factor alone. Countless layers of thoughtful artistry flow through Minecraft's singular experience, not the least of which is its transportive soundtrack. Minecraft Volume Alpha is the work of German composer and musician Daniel Rosenfeld. Using C418 as his moniker, Rosenfeld crafted the sweeping soundtrack and vibrant sound design which helped breathe life into Minecraft's voxel-based universe. Fans and critics were universally enamoured with his beatless, nuanced electronic pieces upon release. Popular gaming site Kotaku named it among The Best Game Music of 2011, calling the music \"remarkably soothing,\" and The Guardian has compared Rosenfeld's delicate piano and sparse ambient motifs to legendary artists Erik Satie and Brian Eno. In an interview feature with C418, Polygon distilled Volume Alphato its essence: \"It's not bound by the retro aesthetic of Minecraft's graphics. It transcends them. The album is an attempt to uplift the combined game\/music experience into the sublime.\" But for all of the critical praise, C418's crowning achievement has to be his insatiable fan base, the seemingly endless swath of players and listeners who treat his music like gospel. They are exactly who this physical release of the Minecraft soundtrack was conceived for, though Ghostly hopes to bring Rosenfeld's music to a whole new audience as well. As any cursory listen of the touching sounds will reveal, this isn't a record meant solely for lifelong gamers and MineCon diehards; anyone in love with ambient, neo-classical, or minimal music needs to hear Volume Alpha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA1.

On her debut Sandford brings her punk and DIY credentials into sharp focus on 8 perfect pop odes to city living, making mistakes and figuring it out as you go along. Suffuse with powerful imagery and an almost uncanny talent at spinning out hooks brimming with humour and spirit, \u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight8\"\u003eAmery\u003c\/span\u003e’s soundworld is informed by friendship, experience and by her day job as a renowned illustrator and visual artist. Beginning Alpen Glow in a spirit of fun and now shedding the alias, \u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight9\"\u003eAmery\u003c\/span\u003e’s ready to hotwire the nite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach song is rich with story. Mountain FM, named for the radio station in Sandford’s home town in the mountains of Alberta, launches into a tale of speeding, blasting the radio too loud, the giddy burning of rubber with no care in the world to slow you down. Featuring live band members Sarah Harris, Jack Bielli, and Frank Climenhage, the singer bristles to get out of her stifling hometown while lamenting the wide eyed adventurer who left for the big city. On Hotwire The Nite, \u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight10\"\u003eAmery\u003c\/span\u003e is out on the town, with imagery loaded with the night’s promise. \u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight11\"\u003eAmery\u003c\/span\u003e sings “Black candle \/ Dripping intel \/ Dagger hanging by an emerald handle \/ Holy roller that I just can’t have without my hand on an old flame,” diving in and out of fantasy and desire over a pulsating banger. Moments like these feel like a thesis on aural pleasure, with the production sleek and silky playfulness persisting throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpirit Is Broken is a pep talk the artist is giving herself in the mirror. Only \u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight12\"\u003eAmery\u003c\/span\u003e could write something so joyous and harmonically glorious while singing about low ebbs. Every line shines with humour, the chorus starting with an exasperated “oh my god, alright” and the refrain nailing the bittersweet feeling of enjoying feeling down. It’s a mood continued on slow groover Ennui, a melter striking out at being stuck; same parties, same faces, daring to dream beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs an illustrator and visual artist, Sandford’s images detail dancing instrument-clad animals, party scenes that nod to historical image making heavy hitters like Hieronymus Bosch and Ludwig Bemelmans. On Miracles, \u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight13\"\u003eAmery\u003c\/span\u003e deals in bold pop production and her yearning to escape into fantasy, given wings by Korgs and drum machines. On Rocker Blues, originally by French artist FR David, \u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight14\"\u003eAmery\u003c\/span\u003e brings the heavy with synth-guitar and an undeniable chorus. C9 is in some ways the album’s centrepiece, a mid tempo funk jam and duet with Montreal stalwart Fireball Kid, it’s the party just out of reach on the horizon. The thing about Cloud 9 is that on the comedown you might get a hella lot of rain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe world \u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight15\"\u003eAmery\u003c\/span\u003e builds is intoxicating, rich and most importantly open for anyone to fall into.

These ideas crystalised while touring the U.S. and Mexico with Arctic Monkeys as the five band members shared music and found a throughline with artists that deftly build out their own sprawling creative worlds: the attitude and aesthetic sheen of artists like Shygirl and Sega Bodega, the bolshy sonic palettes of hip hop and heavy metal, Mos Def, A$AP Ferg, OutKast and Korn. They had time apart to build more singular visions for what future music could be: O’Connell went to Spain’s Castile-La Mancha and later became a new father, while Chatten spent time in LA, and Deegan in Paris. They laid deeper roots in London. Each member spent time pushing their boundaries – experimental riffs, chord progressions, and far-flung lyrical references without intentions for a record. After wrapping up the US arena tour in Autumn 2023, they spent a month writing together again, three weeks of pre-production in a North London studio, and a month in a chateau close to Paris, sleeping among studio equipment, completely immersed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf the album’s title, Conor Deegan says, “\u003ci\u003eWe’ve always had this sense of idealism and romance\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eEach album gets further away from observing that through the lens of Ireland, as directly as \u003c\/i\u003e(Mercury Prize-nominated debut) \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDogrel.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e The second album\u003c\/i\u003e (the GRAMMY-nominated\u003ci\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Hero’s Death\u003c\/b\u003e) is about that detachment, and the third (\u003cb\u003eSkinty Fia\u003c\/b\u003e) is about Irishness dislocated in the diaspora. Now we look to where and what else there is to be romantic about\u003c\/i\u003e.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpounding on the theme, Chatten recalls Katsuhiro Ôtomo’s anime \u003ci\u003eAkira\u003c\/i\u003e, where the embers of love develop despite a maelstrom of technological degradation and political corruption around its characters. “\u003ci\u003eI’m fascinated by that - falling in love at the end of the world\u003c\/i\u003e,” he says. “\u003ci\u003eThe album is about protecting that tiny flame. The bigger armageddon looms, the more precious it becomes\u003c\/i\u003e,” while O’Connell adds \u003ci\u003e“This record is about deciding what’s fantasy – the tangible world, or where you go in your mind.

Writing had begun prior, but due to a crucial lineup change, the band had to start again. Thankfully, once they regrouped, the assembly and recording of the new set of songs was fun and relatively quick. Notably, the band has lost some members, gained a new member \u0026amp; shuffled some roles; former drummer Chris White (Spinning Coin) is now on guitar. His distinctive playing delivers a\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecountrified energy that is central to the album, leading the song structures into more succinct and colorful places, matching the upbeat and playful nature the band has always drawn strength from, only more so now under his stylish approach. Primary vocalist \u0026amp; keyboardist Eothen Stern (also of 2 Ply)’s lyrical gifts illuminate the group’s output with an optimistic urgency that is unmatched. On ‘Homosapien’ she wears her heart on her sleeve, but even in the song’s darkest moments, the words create a sense of hope and potential. She doesn’t shy away from politics or contemporary love languages and finds humor, earnestness, and critique at every turn. Andrew Robert Doig continues to play bass (Dancer\/Robert Sotelo) and provides occasional lead vocals on tunes like “Together We Roll” \u0026amp; “Mellow Baby”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewest member \u0026amp; drummer Rob Alexander (Tarantula\/Radio Banter) allows for a second new development in the band dynamic. Replacing Chris (his longtime friend from childhood) is no mean feat. Thankfully his drumming is an avalanche of skillful technique with a glorious abandon that swerves it away from the academic and absolutely into a wild and tactile performance that lifts the sound of the album (he also plays accordion and tin whistle). Friend \u0026amp; colleague Ray Aggs (Shopping, RAGGS) also contributes fiddle to “Sure Look” \u0026amp; “Phone”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MyAppHighlight\" id=\"searchHighlight2\"\u003eNIGHTSHIFT\u003c\/span\u003e’s newest songs were born out of some genuinely existential times (birth, death and love all played a very real part in the gestation of the new record). Songs like first single “Crystal Ball”, “Cut” \u0026amp; “Side Effects” all touch upon struggle created by an ever encroaching fascist government (exacerbated by Brexit) \u0026amp; the effects austerity has upon their people. Other songs like “Sure Look”, “Phone” \u0026amp; “Crush” deal with matters of the heart while “Your Good Self” \u0026amp; “Together We Roll” take on self-preservation \u0026amp; community. It’s a great irony that the band are sculpting their most succinct and tuneful music yet from this potential chaos, but it’s this unexpected quality that drives them onwards into a dizzying universe. ‘Homosapien’ is released on July 27th via Trouble In Mind on black vinyl, limited “fruit basket’ swirled vinyl \u0026amp; will stream on most DSPs worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Nightshift","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48713961636134,"sku":"TIM188LPC1","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7734\/2621\/files\/IMG_08942.jpg?v=1721910234"},{"product_id":"an-electric-storm-vinyl-lp","title":"An Electric Storm: Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel: Proper Records\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 26th July\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of those records that is so ahead of it's time and so influential it's mad that it came out in 1969.

'STORM TECHNIQUES' COMBINE SINGERS, INSTRUMENTALISTS AND COMPLEX ELECTRONIC SOUND. THE EMOTIONAL INTENSITY IS AT A MAXIMUM. Derbyshire and Hodgson worked for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Make no mistake, this is music designed to make your body MOVE \u0026amp; Naked Roommate won’t stop until they ’ve made sure every ass is shook. The band freely incorporates elements of the dancier side of post-punk (think A Certain Ratio or Liquid Liquid) as well as disco, funk, \u0026amp; house music. However, the group’s uplifting melodicism belies a deeper subtext, understanding the importance of the sense of community of dance music \u0026amp; the culture surrounding it and leaning into a Neo-socialist lyrical context. Shit is fucked, \u0026amp; we get thru it by helping one another \u0026amp; acknowledging \u0026amp; addressing the failures of disaster Capitalism \u0026amp; tech-bro hegemony (a state the band is all-too familiar with, living in The Bay Area) Take the first single “Bus”; a four-on-the-floor banger \u0026amp; salutary paeon to the ups \u0026amp; downs of the people’s transport that throbs \u0026amp; pulses with a late-night sashay (and a bridge that launches the tune into the stratosphere).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, “Fight Flight ”s funky horn stabs and Sermeno’s slinky vocals swoon over Numan-esque synth squiggles that are fortified \u0026amp; funkified toward the dance floor. “Broken Whisper ” edges into new territor y for the group, adding a Caribbean flavor a’la Kid Creole or The Specials that punctuates the persistent \u0026amp; synthetic beats underneath. Meanwhile instrumental interludes like “Ducky \u0026amp; Viv”, “G-Y pt. 1” \u0026amp; “G-Y pt. 2” oscillate into zones of sci-fi meets soap opera soundtracks, sounding not unlike the electronic experiments of UK industrial pioneers Chris \u0026amp; Cosey. Album closer “I Can’t Be Found” might be the album’s secret weapon; It ’s swooning synth melody \u0026amp; processed vocals recall early Daft Punk or MGMT by way of Derrick Carter \u0026amp; The Au Pairs.

These experiences with adventurous artists likely resonate with fans of records like Pet Sounds, Fantasma, Insignificance, Blonde, or XO. Well I Asked You A Question's aforementioned sonic palette wonderfully melds the physical and the synthetic: sampled orchestras duel with real orchestras (“Fantasy”), a robot’s spoken word duets with a choir of humans (“Around”), and blasts of noise “solo” over traditional rock instrumentation (“Rachel’s Getting Married”).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough many of the sounds on the record are augmented and fractured, Mendelsohn still worked with the Market band, consisting of Stephen Becker, Natasha Bergman, and Duncan Standish, to build out the songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe wanted “musical accidents with frayed edges left in still a group of people, in a room, playing songs.” Beyond the core band, world-expanding contributions came from Katie von Schleicher, Mike Haldeman (Moses Sumney, Alto Palo), Justin Felton (L’Rain, Strugglin’), Rose Droll (Feist, Art Feynman) and Helen Newby with engineering by Adam Hirsch (Sam Amidon, Stephen Steinbrink).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell I Asked You a Question is ambitious and complex, but Mendelsohn tempers those goals by aiming at heart, toward the very human. Lyrically, it’s an exploration of speaking, asking, responding and the muddled nature of talking to one’s self versus interacting with others. In his words, he’s alternately “escaping the noise of the world by going inward” and “escaping the noise of the brain by going outward.” Whether swaddled in sound or absorbing the errant thoughts it carries, we’re along for the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“...conjures up the spirit of stuff like Neutral Milk Hotel.

Having showcased their more introspective side on ‘I Wish It Didn’t Bother Me’, ‘Evil\u003cbr\u003eTap’ is a resounding call to arms, a full-throttle hard rock hallelujah against the daily miseries of late stage capitalism. As\u003cbr\u003evocalist Ben Sadler states:\u003cbr\u003eThis song is about the nature of repetition and how it feeds into everyday life. I wrote this song when I was in a\u003cbr\u003eparticularly dissatisfied place. Working all the time whilst still not having enough money to cover the essentials is a fairly\u003cbr\u003estandard experience and, as is the culture in the UK, I tend to turn to drinking or reality tv or material goods or whatever\u003cbr\u003eas a distraction which obviously only ends up making things worse. How can there be one fix for 69 million people, and\u003cbr\u003ethe fix that’s offered is simply ignore it. That being said there is comfort in repetition and routine, and finding a nice\u003cbr\u003emiddle ground with anything is important. The world has evil on tap but learning to stem the flow and bend it, much like\u003cbr\u003ean avatar, is the key to becoming the master of the elements.\u003cbr\u003eGetdown Services have long been known for their raucous live sets, and ‘Evil On Tap’ has long been a tubthumping\u003cbr\u003efavourite of audiences. Although not the only rock’n’roll track on ‘Crisps’, which often barrels through different genres at\u003cbr\u003ebreakneck speed, it is perhaps the purest testament to their headbanging roots. But ‘Evil On Tap’ is also hardly out of\u003cbr\u003eplace amongst the canny twists and turns of their debut. As expected from previous singles, there’s plenty of their\u003cbr\u003esignature apocalyptic disco, most notably on the title track, but veins of proto-punk, new wave, krautrock, electro and\u003cbr\u003eeven gospel also weave through the record, each new experiment giving the listener a little more insight to the arcane,\u003cbr\u003eacrobatic minds of Josh Law and Ben Sadler.

It’s a true level up album which sees the band expand their sonic palette to take in a kaleidoscopic range of influences: everything from soulful pub rock (Chain Reaction) to Husker Du aggression (One More Day) to melancholy sophisto-pop (Narcissist) gets a look in. As Pitchfork noted, The \u003cspan id=\"searchHighlight2\" class=\"MyAppHighlight\"\u003eTubs\u003c\/span\u003e see jangle as a ‘vast world of moods and muses’ and Cotton Crown sees them continuing to explore this world and creating a distinctly Tub-ular sound in the process. This is in no small part down to Owen ‘O’ Williams’ vocal performance- often compared to a young Richard Thomson- and his frank, bleakly funny lyric writing. Cotton Crown sees him delve further into his favourite themes of love-psychosis, unsympathetic mentally ill behaviour, and the humiliations of being a musician in London. This time around, however, there’s a palpable sense of risk in his self assessments \/ confessions. No more so in the track’s closing track Strange- an accounting of the clumsy, intrusive, well-meaning social interactions that took place in the period following the suicide of his mother (the folk singer Charlotte Greig.) As Williams says: “I’d tried a few times to write a song about it. The result had always seemed either mawkish, simplifying or like I was hawking my trauma. But then this one came out, and it felt right because it looked at something smaller: the weird, unsatisfying, strangely funny ways everyone, including myself, acted after the dust settled.” The album artwork features an image of Williams as an infant being breastfed by Greig in a graveyard- a promotional shot taken around the release of her debut album (the re-issue of which was featured in The Guardian in 2023.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essential trick Cotton Crown plays is to offset Williams’ lyrical bleakness with joyous, hook-laden blasts of pop perfection. This is largely down to the guitar work of George Nicholls, who, across the album, effortlessly slips between the virtuoso jangle of Marr, the driving folk-rock of Pentangle and the chorus-heavy hi-fi grooves of contemporary bands like Tops or The 1975. Add to that the breakneck rhythm section of Taylor Stewart (Drums) and Max Warren (Bass)- who attack each song with power-pop ferocity, recalling Guided by Voices at their drunken-yet-tight best- and you’ve got yourself a recipe for indie rock greatness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band’s debut ‘Dead Meat’ was a word-of-mouth sensation that saw the band earn accolades from Pitchfork, The Guardian, MOJO, SPIN and more. They even gained some celeb fans: the inimitable Mark Proksch (The Office (US), Better Call Saul, What We Do in the Shadows) starred in the video for their “Round the Bend” single \u0026amp; punk legend Iggy Pop has praised them on his BBC 6Music radio program. Standing in opposition to the UK norm of post punk, and hookless high-minded indie prog, the album was described by Kitty Empire (Observer) as a “shot in the arm for indie rock”. The band’s hard touring and raucous, beery live show have seen them stand out at festivals like Greenman, End of The Road, Melbourne Rising and Canela Party. The band (minus Stewart) were previously members of Joanna Gruesome- who won the Welsh Music Prize, toured the UK and US extensively, and were praised in Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The NY Times, The Guardian and others.

Merging unexplored pathways between rap, folk, and jazz into a spiritual triumvirate, Songs For Lost Travellers, set for release on February 7th 2025, is an album unlike any either artist has made previously, possibly unlike any record in existence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonest and direct, the duo imbue Songs For Lost Travellers with knowledge and truth from their lived experiences. There is grief hidden in the notes, an inherent sadness that is balanced with an awareness that grief is a protest against the social machinery of remaining numb. The record lingers in a meditative state, unafraid of restlessness and embracing solitude, with the expectation that peace is just as imminent as death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither Con nor Keb bothered much with the professional studio in making Songs For Lost Travellers. Instead, they opted for the raw state of their home recordings and first takes, matching the intimacy of being alone and reflective in their creative energies. Room static on ‘Tell Me Lies’ makes it feel like you’ve entered their apartments. The immediacy continues on ‘Gutters’, as Keb plays guitar while watching the tele and Con hums along to the vocal melody in search of the proper pocket for his verse. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore drawn to Keb’s recent folk recordings on the Songs For Lilla EP than his funk roots circa Dinking In The Shadows of Zizou or the cinematic soul of The Killing of Eugene Peeps, Con leaned into the spacial freedom he heard in Keb’s lo-fi production cobbled from field recordings and voice notes. Both artists placed their families into the tableau; Con wrote ‘Little Man’ for his son, hoping to add a positive contribution to the canon of parental rap songs. Later, his son appears at the end of ‘Paramount’ to deliver a passage from Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet. Keb secretly recorded his mum playing saxophone and sampled his cousin playing sax as well. The result is a near-drumless album (save for ‘Toulouse’ and light tapping on ‘It Would Speak’) in which Keb’s raw production (plus a few sessions with Kofi Flexxx on flute) gave Con a liminal zone, unencumbered by beats per minute, to craft melodies that turn his philosophical rhymes into mantras. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Confucius MC: \u003cbr\u003eHailing from South London, Con has been immersed in UK hip hop since the early 2000s and spent over a decade as an educator in a primary school running a successful Rap Club, where he’d bring artists like Speakers Corner Quartet to give masterclasses. In 2013, Con was the support of choice for Mos Def and has previously performed alongside UK hip hop stalwart Jehst and longstanding friend Kae Tempest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Bastien Keb:\u003cbr\u003eBased in Royal Leamington Spa, Keb (born Sebastian Jones) is a producer, songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who draws comparisons with the likes of Thundercat, J Dilla and Flying Lotus. In 2015, he announced his debut album Dinking in the Shadows of Zizou before releasing The Killing of Eugene Peeps, an imaginary soundtrack with inspiration from Giallo (Italian thriller-horrors), French New Wave and '70s crime films which received widespread praise and describing him as “one of the most exciting musicians emanating out of London” (DMY).\u003cbr\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

The brain and heart are both containers, with as much space as you wish for them to have, and to live is to create collections of found affections. Sounds from your beloved and familiar blocks, movements of the trees and the people beneath them, the way someone you adore may hold you for a few lingering seconds before releasing from a hug and vanishing into a crowded crosswalk. To think of our living, our making, and our loving in this way means that, at least for some of us, we may be propelled forward by the prospect of what’s next. What moment we can hold and place in our overflowing pockets. The work of Lonnie Holley is, for me, a work of this kind of accumulation and close attention. The delight of finding a sound and pressing it up against another found sound and another until, before a listener knows it, they are awash in a symphony of sound that feels like it stitches together as it is washing over you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTonky is an album that takes its name from a childhood nickname that was affixed to Holley when he lived a portion of his childhood life in a honky tonk. Lonnie Holley’s life of survival and endurance is one that required – and no doubt still requires – a kind of invention. An invention that is also rich and present in Holley’s songs, which are full and immersive on Tonky, an album that begins with its longest song, a nine minute, exhaustive marathon of a tune called “Seeds,” which begins with a single sparse sound and then expands. Chants, faint keys, strings, and atop it all, Holley’s voice, not singing, but speaking plainly about working the earth when he was young, the violence he endured in the process of it all, going to bed bloodied and in pain from beatings. The song expands into a metaphor about place, about the failures of home, or anywhere meant to protect you not living up to what it sells itself to be, even if you tirelessly work at it, work on it, work to make something worthwhile of it. “Seeds” not only sets the tone for an album that revolves around rebirth, renewal, and the limits of hope and faith, but it highlights what Holley’s greatest strength as a musician is, to me, which is a commitment to abundance, and generosity. He is an incredibly gifted storyteller with a commitment to the oral tradition, such that many listeners (myself among them,) would be entirely content sitting at the feet of a Lonnie Holley record and turning an ear to his robust, expansive storytelling. But Tonky is an album as expansive in sound as it is in making a place for a wide range of featured artists to come through the door of the record and feel at home, no matter how they spend the time they get on a song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003eSIDE A \u003cbr\u003e01 Seeds\u003cbr\u003e02 Life (with Mary Lattimore)\u003cbr\u003e03 Protest With Love \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE B \u003cbr\u003e04 The Burden (I Turned Nothing Into Something) (with Angel Bat Dawid)\u003cbr\u003e05 The Same Stars (with Joe Minter and Open Mike Eagle)\u003cbr\u003e06 Kings In The Jungle, Slaves In The Field \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE C \u003cbr\u003e07 Strength of A Song (with Alabaster de Plume)\u003cbr\u003e08 What’s Going On?

Suddenly, the full musical concept of the 'Lost' album smacked me right between my ears. Instrumental tracks equipped with GPS voices on top robotically guiding me to my various destinations. Sometimes it was a venue like the Parasdiso in Amsterdam. or record label like Légére in Hamburg - and for goodness' sake, even a pizza restaurant in Italy! The possibilities were infinite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I lovingly explored the sounds of the late 70s \u0026amp; early 80s delicious brew of Post-Punk, Post-Disco, Krautrock, Punk-Funk, old school HipHop and No Wave.

Alan Sparhawk knows this well. In his years in Low, he built decades of stirring music with his wife and lifelong creative partner Mimi Parker. In recent years, he has performed around Minnesota with his son Cyrus in DERECHO Rhythm Section, a funk band that also frequently features his daughter Hollis on vocals. There’s an irreplaceable naturalism that comes with this kind of dynamic. Those who know you understand you. They love you. They want to help you bring your greatest passions to fruition. So it made sense that Sparhawk would turn to fellow Duluth musicians Trampled by Turtles to realize his latest record. As friends and mentees of Low’s, taken under Sparhawk and Parker’s wing from their earliest days as a bar band, Trampled by Turtles have performed with Sparhawk countless times over the years. The Duluth ties run deep: “There’s a certain vibe that has to do with underdog syndrome, coming from a small town,” Sparhawk muses. “Some of it is the weird grind and slackness that being at the mercy of Mother Nature puts in you. It humbles you.” The two artists hold the kind of ironclad bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing Parker’s passing in 2022, Trampled by Turtles invited Sparhawk to join them on tour to give him a space to be surrounded by friends. Occasionally, he would join them onstage. The outpouring of love was palpable every time they played together, a surge of warmth. When playing together is that powerful, why stop there? In winter, 2024, Sparhawk and Trampled by Turtles created With Trampled by Turtles, a record exactly as its name implies: Collective. Communal. Fraternal. Empathetic. A vessel for comfort, a reminder of the harmony that can exist when surrounded by those closest to you. Where White Roses, My God, Sparhawk’s last album, plunged headfirst into electronica and radical vocal modulation, With Trampled by Turtles leans into the folk and bluegrass stylings of its backing band, Sparhawk’s voice now completely unvarnished. With Trampled by Turtles is far more than just Alan Sparhawk and Trampled by Turtles. It’s an affirmation of all the people who have been vital in Sparhawk’s life and music, and an opportunity to hold each of their gifts into the light. It’s producer Nat Harvie, who has been collaborating and performing with him for years. It’s Sparhawk’s daughter Hollis, who duets with her father on “Not Broken.” And it’s Mimi Parker, too: “Too High,” “Princess Road Surgery,” and “Not Broken” were all tracks she and Sparhawk had been working on in the last few years. These songs finally found a setting that stirringly commemorates them, bolstered by a full ensemble to make every note sing. Their presence is a kind of eternal connection to Parker, a way her musical grace will keep flourishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Sparhawk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50291044647206,"sku":"SP1680X","price":23.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7734\/2621\/files\/IMG_6680.jpg?v=1748592589"},{"product_id":"sounds-like-vinyl-lp","title":"Sounds Like...: Vinyl LP + Print","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel: Dear Life Records\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRelease Date: 30th May\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat freewheeling rag tag country rock thunder of Florry rolls on through with the follow-up to 'Holey Bible' one of our albums of 2023.

At any second, the wheels could come off but they are steering just fine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor ‘Sounds Like…’ Florry’s sophomore effort as a fully realized band, Medosch and co. decamped to Drop of Sun studios in the nest of the Blue Ridge Mountains to record with Asheville wunderkind Colin Miller, a critical voice behind the records of MJ Lenderman, Wednesday and Merce Lemon and a powerful songwriter in his own right. Three powerhouse days in late 2023 solidified writing work done by the band earlier that summer in the now\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e defunct Haw Creek compound under Miller’s guiding suggestion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a portrait of a ripping band cresting towards the height of their powers, uniquely equipped to capture a wildly loving, barn-burning camcorder clip of a turbulent trip with your best friends, without dipping into nostalgia bait. Lyrically, Medosch’s utterances are both careful and excessive, the product of sifting through the rubble of classic good-time media, and finding what works for both her and her community to reach the heights of abandon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The Jackass theme song was actually a really big influence on the new album”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe expansive personnel and continent spanning footprint of Florry casts a wide net for this community. Florry the band rolls deep in the heard of North American DIY, featuring Jon Cox (Sadurn, Son of Barb) on pedal steel, John Murray on electric guitar, Collin Dennen on bass, Will Henriksen on fiddle, Katya Malison (Doll Spirit Vessel) on Vox, and Joey Sullivan (Bark Culture) on drums. Medosch’s recent move to Burlington Vermont entrenches the Philly born project firmly within the ranks of fellow alt-country upstarts Lily Seabird and Greg Freeman, and gives them a vantage just outside of Pennsylvania at the thresholds of New England and the Midwest. There is a new life breathed into this music that confirms Florry as equally rooted in place work, and at home on the vast roads of America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor listeners who fell in love with Florry’s infectious charm on sweeping tours with the likes of Kurt Vile, Real Estate, MJ Lenderman, Greg Freeman and Fust, ‘Sounds Like…’, provides a refreshing memento of the band that surely left them smiling. If the support behind ‘The Holey Bible’ provided validation for the insistent vision of these young artists, ‘Sounds Like’ finds them reveling in and honing their vocabulary. Praise from outlets like Pitchfork, Stereogum, Paste, and Brooklyn Vegan touched on the potential of their wild idiosyncrasies, and accurately predicted that their next steps would see them continuing to write their own story, like a 10 car pileup that you can’t take your eyes off if you tried.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlorry proves that they can let the car spin just out of control whenever they want, and you are welcome to ride shotgun while Medosch does donuts in the WaWa parking lot.
