Band: BROADSHEETS (UK) Who: Bristol-based unit conceived in 2022. They combine the starkness and
emotional intensity of Slowcore bands like Duster and Movietone with the seductive soundscapes and nocturnal moods of vintage Trip-hop acts Portishead and Massive
Attack.
TUTV: Rousing missile powered by psychotic guitars, hefty bass/drum
mayhem and neurotic vocals, peaking with a mental chorus. Hüsker Dü
in overdrive.
Track: PORTABLE DOOR
First single from their upcoming 23rd LP, weirdly
named ‘=1′ on July 19.
TUTV: The Purple still sound like they did in the 60s/70s. As hard as concrete,
as ebullient as if they were still in their 20s and Ian Gillan still has iron pipes.
TUTV: Tremendously catchy, jangly and vibey pop earworm, balancing between Scottish heroes Teenage Fanclub and 60s harmony legends The Byrds. Frolicsome
and frisky. Makes your day on the spot.
TUTV: PSB do what they do best. Writing/creating hum/whistle/sway
along tunes. Join them on the dance floor, because they feel alone
a bit in the disco on this one.
Artist: CUSTIE Who: Emerging alternative pop artist hailing from London, Ontario. His distinct sound explores pop music as it intersects with singer-songwriter, R&B and alternative music.
“‘E’ is an attempt to stylize and leave much of the song up to listener interpretation. By giving things concrete names, it makes everything very topical. I always like to find a way to have my listeners move with me by presenting a song with a certain kind of allure in mystery. Hence the ‘E’ – it stands for anything you’d like. ”
TUTV: A smooth, mid-tempo, richly orchestrated, sonically
and vocally, pop reverie. Close your eyes, and dream away.
British hard rock icons DEEP PURPLE (1967–1976, 1984–present)
are still around and still produce lots of decibels.
They release their 23rd LP, weirdly named =1 on July 19.
On the first single, titled PORTABLE DOOR the Purple still sound like they did in the 60s/70s. As hard as concrete, as ebullient as if they were still in their 20s and Ian Gillan still has iron pipes.
Band: FOLD PAPER Who: Firm trio masterminded by the Nigerian-born, Michigan-raised and Winnipeg-based Chell Osuntade, who delivers almost-spoken-word lyrics searing with intent. Their raw, jittery and energetic brand of post-punk has seen them share the stage already with
bands like Pile, Cola, Holy Fuck and Stuck.
TUTV:Nothing To Report is a glorious cacophonous jackhammer going everywhere fast.
It rattles, rambles, and rolls motorized by schizophrenic guitars, a mean bass/drum team and Chell Osuntade‘s sloganesque chant. Almost 5 minutes of razzle-dazzle turmoil, head-spinning dynamics and zigzagging rhythms. Think British post-punk sensation Black Midi.
I got two things to report: astounding post-punk turbo, astounding psych groove.
