“Let this be a showcase of the sounds and aesthetics Kick so pleasurably tangle together. Now go dig out their latest LP. It’ll creep slowly up on you too…”
“Said it twice and I’ll say it again… creative, relentless and restless. The Loud Bangs have a beat on the pulse of a sound and twist those themes upwards and outwards…”
Sun’s out, synths are shining, and summer’s salubrious sounds a-buzzin’ This is the best of June’s tunes and submissions.
“From United Simesky Institutes and Fritch (the creative side of Rats on the Run), comes a brand new collaboration. And this is the new debut single. Freshly released to the world…”
“It’s dusty, calamitous, messy. It’s full of atonal pinches and squalor. Noise detracts from the tightness, manic vocals hide the quips, its immaturity masks all its know-how…”
“Defiantly oddball, endearingly goofy, grin pleasingly off-kilter cute… Welcome to the world of Gus Englehorn, where the main and only question that bites your ass urgently is ‘who the New-York-Fuck is Gus Englehorn’?”
“Somewhere between Low, the new ‘tronics of Scott Matthews and the reverb-soaked slow tones of Burial, there’s a neat place where ‘Overture’ settles. Like a lost scene from Under the Skin, it seeps in like some sonic osmosis…”
This is music direct to your ears. A light shone on uncovered gems. Here’s the very best of 2021.
It’s a playlist for pummel and pleasure. An hour of new music hand crafted and sculpted like a C86 mixtape for lovers…
