Holodrum - s/t LP - “Disco rock from West Yorkshire“

Holodrum are a new disco-infused synth-pop group, who feature members of Hookworms, Yard Act, Cowtown, Virginia Wing, Drahla and more. Maybe Holodrum were destined to start at this point. This might be the first time they’ve all officially worked together, but between Emily Garner (vocals), Matthew Benn (synth/bass/production), Jonathan Nash (drums), Jonathan Wilkinson (guitar), Sam Shjipstone (guitar/vocals), Christopher Duffin (sax/synth) and Steve Nuttall (percussion) they’ve shared bands, mixed each other’s records, promoted live shows and made music videos together in and around Leeds. As Holodrum, this is the seven-piece’s debut album, but the interlocking grooves and hot headiness of their repeato-rock-via-CBGBs dopamine hits have in one way or other been fermenting for years.

Irma Vep -  I Do What I Want 

Irma Vep is the on-going, evolving main vehicle for polymath musician Edwin Stevens and on Embarrassed Landscape the project has reached a zenith. Primarily recorded in Stevens’s adopted home town of Glasgow over two days with frequent collaborators Ruari Maclean (Vital Idles, Golden Grrrls) and Andrew Cheetham, Embarrassed Landscape is an album that breathes in a fetid skip full of millennial dread, self-effacing anxiety and doubt before exhaling it as heartbreaking songs and ecstatic abandon. Following a series of limited releases spread out over the course of a decade, recorded in fits and starts around the United Kingdom as the protagonists wanderlust saw fit, Irma Vep’s 4th album proper presents Stevens’s vision in its fullest and most realised form.

Stevens is a master of nostalgia-drenched upbeat melancholia. This song slays me.

Album Review: Grey Hairs - Health & Social Care

Album Review: Grey Hairs – Health & Social Care

Words: Nate Holdren

I get it. You’re busy. You’ve got bills to pay and chores and a job and people who depend on you. You’re in a hurry, understandably, so the short version is that you should go get ‘Health & Social Care‘, the third full-length record by a Nottingham-based quartet of music veterans named Grey Hairs. It’s real good.

If you’ve got a bit more time before you clock in or finish your…

Blurry Images: Sauna Youth Live at UFO Factory, 25 September 2016 -- The UK DIY scene is having something of a moment these days. The best guitar bands in the world, bar none, are operating within this tight-knit community, and the rest are, at the very least, tangentially connected to it via labels like Dan Reeves's Faux Discx, Upset the Rhythm, and Gringo Records, or through recording studios like MJ's Suburban Home or Sound Savers in London. Last month, the brilliant Sauna Youth, a beating heart of this interconnected web of characters and groups,** wrapped up the touring cycle for their exceptional second LP, Distractions, in London. I caught their act at Detroit's UFO Factory just a few days before. It was a marvel of powerful, precise punk economy, driven home by SY's shouted-almost-chanted male / female synchro vox and often mantra-like lyrics, which felt especially profound when compared to the high-testosterone rock histrionics of the opening act. The band's relentlessly propulsive set of hymns to modern disaffection, indecision, and distraction were a tonic, and I wish more rock groups Stateside would take note. After the set, an acquaintance of mine: "They have this way of making old ideas seem new, and new ideas seem completely obvious. Which is a complement." --

気になるライブ音源！

“Gringo”、久しぶりにチェックしました。The Van Pelt、2014年に行ったヨーロッパツアーのライブ音源が9月末にリリースされるようです。しかも2LP！この危ういエモさはやっぱり何度でも聴きたいし、『Imaginary Third』も箱の中からひっぱり出してくるだろうし、これからどんどん寒くなるし。国内の取り扱いあったらすぐ買おう。

Fun times at the Independent Label Market! Thanks to everyone that came along to say hello, buy records and eat biscuits with us at last week’s Indie Label Market in Spitalfields. We had an absolute blast and sold lots of copies of Cantaloupe’s new album Zoetrope (and our glorious back catalogue) to boot! Here’s a pic of us sharing a stall with fellow Nottingham DIY dudes Gringo Records - more great photos (by the lovely Lauren Towner) over at The 405 here

Gringoからの10年代グランジ新作

グランジならばやっぱり90年代が代表であったり、耳にし思い出すのはそっちなんだけれど。「あーグランジってこんなだった！」と思わせる音の作りを踏襲している、Grey Hairs『Colossal Downer』なんでした。UKノッティンガムのレーベル"Gringo Records"より4月リリース予定のアルバムから、リード曲"Anxiety Dream"がサンクラアップ。アルバムはLTD 495 copies(絶妙！)、オレンジ・ヴァイナルだそうですよ。目新しいサウンドではないかもしれないけど、巷に溢れた柔らかインディーに飽和した層にとっては突き抜けてていいなーと思いました！
