Manchester’s The Empty Page are here to talk about their most influential and life changing records to date. Their album Unfolding is out now!
ISLE: ‘Faults’
Being self-sufficient as a musician has become the norm now. Many artists are able to record, produce, design their artwork and even make their own videos. Scottish duo ISLE are one such example. Liam Rutherford and Ben Singer have worked hard in the background to maintain a fantastic electronic output packaged in their own unique…
The So So Glos: ‘Missionary’
Brooklyn’s The So So Glos continue their punk assault with new video ‘Missionary’. With a “give zero fucks” ethos, they have built a reputation for being true DIY pioneers. Their latest single continues their trademark sound of an unruly, headstrong attitude. ‘Missionary’, boils over with frustration. It isn’t groundbreaking by any means, but it’s a…
Blonde Summer: ‘Beer On Ice’
Given how baltic this side of the North Atlantic is, any kind of summer influx is welcome. Cue, ‘Beer on Ice‘ by LA’s Blonde Summer. Drenched in nihilistic youthful desertion, their fuzzed-up, gut-punching party riffs are ever so appealing. Crack one open, sit back and bathe in the sounds of carefree, addictive slacker rock.
Fröst – ‘Crackling On The Wire’
A collaboration between Franco-Swedish sound artist Johanna Bramli (vocalist for Stereolab offshoot Imitation Electric Piano) and Fujiya & Miyagi’s synth player and producer Steve Lewis, Fröst are the stunning product of the duo. ‘Crackling On The Wire’, is inspired by the German poem ‘The Erlking’. With its subtle discipline and intellectual precision, this emphatically validates how wonderful…
W. H. Lung: ‘Inspiration!’
Described as “a recording project founded in Manchester in mid-2016″, W. H. Lung‘s first single ‘Inspiration!’ is like an epiphany. Like dark magic from a krautrock sweet shop, this will no doubt appeal to the Can and Neu! fans out there. With its questing spirit, this is testament that derivatives of great bands continue to…
Fliptrix – ‘Patterns Of Escapism’
Following a two year hiatus, BBC Radio 1 Extra favourite, Fliptrix returns with the no holds barred ‘Patterns Of Escapism‘. Taken from his 6th solo long player, the London-based producer is a teacher in his own classroom delivering passion with booming authority. Hectoring, dropping streetwise politics all to the backdrop of an enslaving production. This is a…
Edwin Organ: ‘Serenade’
With an impressive team behind him, Glasgow-based electronic artist Edwin Organ has been on my radar for a while. Previous releases have piqued my curiosity, but his latest song ‘Serenade’ is a bit of a game changer. Having locked himself away in the deepest, darkest rolling fields of Ayrshire, he set up a hub in…
Crow’s Feet: ‘Hesitator’
Glasgow-based outfit Crow’s Feet have been evolving for the last year or so. Their expansion in members has also led to an illuminating augmentation in sound and dynamic. Their latest single, ‘Hesitator’ shifts from a blend of gentle awe and trembling sweetness into a gut-wrenching crest. This has a notably confessional edge lyrically and is the…
Coyóte: ‘Napoleon Syndrome’
LA, the home to an imaginary, wonderful and sometimes untouchable alternative universe. It’s also the natural habitat of outlandish foursome, Coyoté. ‘Napoleon Syndrome’ is the latest single from the quartet and has already picked up airplay from Radio 1 traitor (I jest) Zane Lowe. Exploding where a hundred other bands pale in comparison, this is fuzzed-up,…
