4 June 2018

A packed show, so no messing. Let's get into it.

Alien Nosejob - Caffeine OD
These are from Clunes in Victoria, Australia and this comes off the 7" Death Of The Vinyl Boom. Superb.

Vulgarians - Of Humdrum Consumption
To Hull, and another band to make use of the production talents of Hookworms' MJ.

Lithics - Excuse Generator
Portland, Oregon, next. This is the lead track from the LP Mating Surfaces.

Swine Tax - Tory Water
Angry young people - and that's fair enough, I mean you've seen the state of things, right? - from Newcastle. This is off the EP This Is Not A Band.

Drahla - Twelve Divisions Of The Day
From the Come Play With Me stable, this is the Leeds outfit's new single, out on the 20th.

The Golden Age Of TV - Television
Also from Leeds and also from the CPWM stable.

Star Rover - Method Actor
The fourth single taken from the self-titled LP from the Edinburgh art-rockers. Far too good to ignore.

The Autumn Stones - Mandatory Love
A new single from the Toronto band which came out last week.

Vast Asteroid - Drown
An LA band, this is off the self-titled LP that came out at the back end of last year.

Glassmaps - My Heart, My Head
New single from Joel Stein, from Brighton and recorded in Eastern Germany.

Roy - Paranoid Feeling
Another one from Toronto and yet another self-titled LP.

Ora Iso - Wicked Gain
An utterly incredible cover of the Chris Isaak record Wicked Game which is a digital only bonus track from the LP Image Certifies that came out in April. They're from New York, albeit singer Kathleen Malay arrives via Indonesia and Australia.

Kamaal Williams - High Roller
Stunning stuff from Londoner Williams plus band. The LP The Return is a rich tapestry of new jazz sounds.

Sabres Of Paradise - Lick Wid Nit Wit
A track sort of rediscovered. Previously only available on a multi-artist compilation in the late '90s, it's now had a proper release. The vinyl has sold out - unsurprising - but still very available digitally. Brilliant.

Tom Dragebo - How Long
The title track to the EP from the Norwegian producer.

PIXSID - The Sea (Boomin' Dub mix)
Australian singer Marie Craven - aka Pixieguts - collaborated with musicians and producers from all over the world in creating the album I Sand which came out in 2011. A new video for this track prompts it's inclusion this week. That and it being a calming way to end the show.

Not in next week. Back in two.

2 January 2018

My last Tuesday show. From next week, I'm going back to Mondays because reasons. It'll still be the usual. Like this:

Rachel Mason - Time To Resign ft. Donald Trump
Also known as Future Clown, LA singer Mason does a Cassetteboy on 45 who can f--- right off in 2018 please.

Anarchistwood - Bomb In A Luggage Rack
Anarcho-dayglo-punk warriors with a single from the back end of November.

Whirling Hall Of Knives - 8ark
A freebie from the Irish instrumentalists to herald the new year.

DateMonthYear - March
Another one from November, this time from Hamilton in New Zealand. Not a band, they say, but a new way of making music.

Kudzu - No Backbone
The lead single taken from the LP Defeated which is due out early in 2018.

Peggy Sue - Slow Fade
The London-via-Brighton duo with a track from their as yet untitled fifth album, due soon.

The Creature Comfort - What We Want (Power, Corruption And Lies)
Mancunian psych-influenced rockers with a terrific new one that came out a couple of weeks ago.

John MOuse - End Of Mankind
He said he was done making music, but John 'MOuse' Davies got back in the studio with former bandmate Steven Black - Sweet Baboo to you - to make the album Replica Figures. Out in February.

The Stroppies - Gravity Is Stern
Missed this in spring, the album The Stroppies came out in May. They're from Melbourne.

Cross Country - Grass Stains
Even older, this is from September 2016. They're from Cincinnati and is off the EP Trials.

Sam Valdez - It's Alright
Blending shoegaze with Americana to create her sound.

Mythic Sunship - Cosmic Rupture
Taken from their third LP Upheaval which is out on the 12th.

Vast Asteroid - Sick
More from LA and more shoegazey stuff, taken from their self-titled LP which came out in November.

The Junta - I Second That Emoji
From Salford and another one from earlier in 2017 that we'd missed until now. This is off the EP Ergo which came out back in June.

Milkywhale - Rhubarb Girl
From Reykjavik, this is off their self-titled album from May. Another one we missed...

Tetraneutron - Strawmanistan
And now you must forgive the indulgence. One of the things I'm most proud of in 2017 is making a record - this record - with beatmaker Pete McGarry. Still very available at Broken Down Records.
