New single: LIGHTS OUT
“This is a song of two definitive sections. The first half was instinctive. It projects the uneasy feeling of late-night anxiety when you awake from sleep in the dark of the night and your brain jumps from one terrifying thought to another. The lyrics were just a continued representation of that atmosphere of the music, which spilled out on the page.
Haunting jam.
Eerie electricity.
Yearning vocality.
Blistering finale

Who: Austin McCutchen (Choir Vandals / Foxing / Squint)

New single: FINGERS ON MY SIDE
Piece from their upcoming debut EP, out on 19 April.
“This song is sort of about being afraid of confrontation, but leaning into it because you know it’ll make your life easier in the long run. By not confronting the things that are taking up space in your head, you’re living in a different sort of reality. Not knowing if anything is fact or fiction, feeling the friction of wrestling with those thoughts in your mind all the time.”
Sleater-Kinney jamming with Dinosaur Jr.
Guitar-bass-layered slackerness.
Melodic turbulence all the way.

Who: One of the best noizzz makers around,
actually, since 2007.
New album: UP ON GRAVITY HELL
Their 5th, out on April 12
New single: LIGHT YOUR WAY HOME
Alex Edkins: “I was listening to lots of Jesu and Low, as I do most winters, when writing this one. Lyrically, it’s about missing your loved ones to the point of losing your grip on reality. We distorted and added a mechanical slap back to the drums to create a wild and huge sound. I love how big we got the production on this one. It’s like nothing we’ve ever made before, sonically or lyrically. Amber Webber (Black Mountain, Lightning Dust) was so great to work with, and her voice just takes this song to another stratosphere. I think the video by Colin Medley perfectly captures the vibe and intent of the song.”
Shoegaze guitar galvanism in slo-mo.
Starry-eyed, far-out, and hallucinatory.
Metz explore new sonic boundaries.

“In “Cultural Consumer III the consumer has become a new ager who is blasting a killer curated playlist in his car on the way to the airport to fly to a meditation retreat in Taiwan. Despite all of his consuming and questing for self-help, unlike Bob Dylan, he has never once ‘gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.’ He is just buying crap.”
