MP3: Ten Kens - Screaming Viking
Toronto noiseniks Ten Kens return with a second album due on FatCat Records on August 30. For Posterity sees the band exploring gloomier, psychedelic avenues than on their self-titled 2008 debut. ‘Screaming Viking’ is a blistering preview of what the album has to offer: dense riffs, obfuscated vocals and [...]
Preview: ‘Trash Humpers’ Film Screening @ GFT, 14/15 Jul
There’s not a lot about Harmony Korine’s film Trash Humpers which hasn’t already been said. It’s an absurd, and frequently disturbing (in the best way possible mind you) docu-style flick, which follows a gang of bat-crazy, trash-humping, vandalising, old age pensioners, as they terrorise middle America. The film is shot in a rustic VHS style, [...]
Review: Ólöf Arnalds - Innundir Skinni
Ólöf Arnalds is back, and the Icelandic singer-songwriter’s work remains something of a delicacy: try to imagine a Scandinavian Joanna Newsom singing over the guitar work of Nick Drake and you’ll be somewhere close. ‘Innundir Skinni’ (’under the skin’ in English) - the title track from her forthcoming sophomore album - finds Arnalds cawing in [...]
Review: Dan Deacon - Woof Woof EP
New York native and electronic provocateur Dan Deacon adds to his not inconsiderable discography with Woof Woof - an EP based around the track of the same name from last year’s excellent album, Bromst. The original mix is a gung-ho workout featuring wonky synths and hyper-accelerated vocals. Of the 3 remixes, Luke Abbott turns out [...]
Audio: Eternal Fags - Eternity
Noise fiends: get your ears wrapped around this. I speak, of course, of the self-titled new album by shouty, abrasive rock types Eternal Fags, which is now available as a free download from Winning Sperm Party. This snarling banshee of a record is part punk, part dirge, and contains just [...]
Preview: Stag & Dagger - Glasgow 22.05.10
