9 April 2018

Back refreshed and with the return of the featured album section.

Flies On You - Can You Smell That Burning Noise
But we start on a sad note. I bloody love Flies On You, so it was with tremendous sadness that I read of the death of Andrew Watkins at the age of 50. Along with Doug Aikman, they made some ruddy marvellous music, so by way of tribute here's a track off their second album, etcetera.

Stella Diana - Lurine Rae
Bit of shoegaze from Napoli now from the upcoming sixth studio LP, 57. DIY stuff, this is their second English-language LP.

Cocoa Futures - Sink In The Water
Recorded in the old Granada TV studios in Manchester, Scotsman Greg Sanderson and his band follow up their acclaimed Blue EP with this cracking new single.

The Room In The Wood - Magical Thinking
The title track of the new EP from the Liverpool outfit, out on the 20th.

Featured album: Nervous Twitch - I Won't Hide
Put Me Back Together
Look At You Now
Saw these at Northern Quarter on Saturday and they're chuffing great. Nothing beyond two and a half minutes ("that's prog for us" says lead singer and bassist Erin) for proper punk throwback vibes. I Won't Hide came out late last year on Odd Box. It's terrific. Go buy it.

Wedding - Hands In The Till
From Manchester via Berlin, Wedding are newly signed to Art Is Hard records and this is their first release for them.

Mollusc - Anxiety
So much good stuff coming out of Australia at the moment, and here's another brace. First, a duo from Melbourne with a track from their self-titled debut EP.

The Native Cats - Nixon Nevada
And thence to Hobart and a track from the album John Sharp Toro which came out in February.

The Spook School - I Only Dance When I Want To
Another brilliant track from the outstanding album Could It Be Different?

Featured album: Nervous Twitch - I Won't Hide
Torment Me
She's So Hip
They're from Leeds. They rock. Go seek them out.

Table Scraps - Lyin' Thru Yer Teeth
Trio from Birmingham, this is off the album Autonomy.

Concrete Knives - Gold Digger
From Caen in Normandy, this is from the album Our Hearts which came out in February.

Snapped Ankles - CIA Man (NSA Man Violation)
A reworking of an old Fugs track to reflect the modern threat to your privacy and democracy, the NSA. This came out as a 7" last month.

Giuseppe Leonardi - Jack Of All Trades
The title track of the Balearic styled EP from the young Viennese producer.

The Micronaut - Earlylate
Stefan Streck of Leipzig is The Micronaut and this is off the brilliant EP Contrast. Came out in February.
