Ghost Gums, the debut mini-album from Ed Fraser conjurers up the feeling of walking through a wood on a crisp autumnal evening.
Hawk Eyes – Advice
Advice by Hawk Eyes is a dark, brooding body of work. A concept piece offering guidance, corrupted narrators and bizarre tales of defiance, acceptance and grim determination.
Girl Band – Salmon of Knowledge
It’s brilliant to have Girl Band back on the airwaves – Salmon of Knowledge is the third track to be released from the anticipated The Talkies, out 27 September.
Dead Kaczynski – Mr. Scratch
Dead Kaczynski are a disjointed barrage of noise from Kent and display all the great qualities that make this kind of music so agitated, itchy and down-right engaging to listen to.
Down I Go – All Down the Church in Midst of Fire the Hellish Monster Flew, and Passing Onward to the Quire, He Many People Slew
Mythical harbingers of death is the perfect subject matter for Down I Go – it’s intriguing, deliciously oddball and sits within the right realm of tense, deranged anarchy as their musical output.
The St. Pierre Snake Invasion – Caprice Enchante
It’s been a while since I’ve heard an album that absolutely boils with so many conflicting emotions. From first impressions though, absolutely everything on Caprice Enchanté sounds angry.
Wizard Rifle – S/T
There’s a kind of unholy majesty about the songs on offer here – each of these five tracks feels expansive, monstrously heavy and crams so many ideas and twists within its layers.
The Austerity Program – Bible Songs 1
The Austerity Program continue their trend of uneasy listening with this caustic and bone-crushingly heavy barrage of uncomfortable and scorched noise rock.
Charger – S/T
Charger seem to have one goal; to finish a song as quickly as possible and blast through into the next one.
USA Nails – Life Cinema
On Life Cinema, USA Nails continue to hack, carve and flesh out this ghastly totem of their acerbic and unique sound.
