TRACK BY TRACK

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.
Track: CHEVRON
TUTV: Epic psychedelic jam. Ominous howls, spine-chilling agitation,
freaky saxophone. There’s always a dark light at the end of the tunnel.

Who: Noizzz three-piece
from Brooklyn, NY
Track: PINGUIN WINGS
Piece from their upcoming LP Dark Ice Balloons,
out tomorrow, May 3. More info here
TUTV: Rousing missile powered by psychotic guitars, hefty bass/drum
mayhem and neurotic vocals, peaking with a mental chorus. Hüsker Dü
in overdrive.

Band: slab feat. The Sewer Cats
Who: Rowdy indies from Manchester
who claim that 2+1=0
Track: Holy smoke. Hide, here comes a volcanic punk eruption fueled
by quick-tempered guitars, hammering percussion and exorcistic vocals.
Helter skelter.

Band: DEEP PURPLE (UK)
Who: Heavy rock icons
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.

Band: MANTAROCHEN
Who: Electrifying trio from Leipzig, Germany
They released their debut album S/T last year
Track: REFLECTION
Piece from their upcoming
6-track EP In The Bagers Cave
TUTV: Expect a post-pysch-punk projectile causing dizziness
in your head. Think Siouxsie and the Banshees on speed.

Band: STRANGE ENCOUNTERS
Who: Psych/power pop duo
from Berlin, Germany
Track: RECOGNIZE
Piece from their brand
new LP All In The Mind
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.
Band: PET SHOP BOYS (UK)
Who: Seasoned electro-pop heroes
Track: AM I DANCING?
From their brand-new LP Nonetheless
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: ST. VINCENT (New York)
Who: Famous songstress from the Big Apple
Track: SO MANY PLANETS
Song from her excellent new longplayer All Born Screaming
TUTV: You’ll love this. An easy-going, feel-good humdinger with
a buoyant and hip-shaking reggae spin. Puts a smile on my face.

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.
Track: ON E AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN
“‘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.

Artist: ERIC SCHROEDER
Who: Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and pop-rock polymath from San Diego, combining contrast and contradiction.
Track: THE KIND OF WOUND THAT NEVER HEALS
Piece from his brand-new album Turned On The Stereo
TUTV: Electrical mid-tempo blues reflection. Weeping guitars,
perfervid vocals, and ab intense resonance.
