Bristol’s Sugar Horse firmly cement themselves in the realm of “what the fuck did I just listen to?” After the Druj EP from last year, new single, Pity Party, joins that feeling.
Sofy Major – Total Dump
It’s great when a band doesn’t take themselves seriously. France’s Sofy Major don’t really fit into the noise rock template – they’re more likely to flush it down the toilet than conform, which is refreshingly brilliant.
UpCDownC – Black Dracula video
This terror train of film-noir-horror-post-metal debauchery, known as UpCDownC released a video last year for their track, Black Dracula, as featured on the gloom-laden terror of last year’s I, Awake and their self-titled EP from 2015.
UpCDownC – I, Awake
Split into 6 parts, I, Awake, the new album from instrumental-post-whatever-noise dirtbags UpCDownC, is essentially not being able to sleep at night; it’s sticking your feet out the end of the bed and wondering if a clawed hand is about to grab hold. Sweet dreams.
Godhole Vs Crozier – Anthrophobia 7″
*Scratches head* best not to over-analyse this one. More of an artistic concept that actual music; this collaboration between Edinburgh destruction merchants Godhole and Vile Noise mastermind Crozier has crawled from the foetid and pungent streets to say hello.
No Spill Blood – Heavy Electricity
If heavy electricity falls from these headphones, not only would it blow my head off, it would cut me completely in half. The horror film hasn’t been made that Heavy Electricity could soundtrack, but it’s only a matter of time, as this, their first full-length, is truly the stuff of nightmares.
Disasterpeace – It Follows (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
This album should come with a disclaimer. “Warning, do not, repeat, DO NOT listen to this if you are trying to drift off to sleep – may cause utter terror/crazy dreams.” Not that I’ve experienced such a thing, oh no. Well, maybe a bit.
