hit the music scene in 2003.

Track: DEGÜELLO
First shared piece from their forthcoming album, their
first in 6 years, baptized Airy Fairy. Out April 2nd, 2027.

TUTV: These melancholic Scottish woolgatherers still wear their hearts on their
sleeves, and still come up with perfervid pop pearls romanticized by frontman
James Allan‘s soul-striking voice and Interpol-refined guitar lines.

Band: LIBRARY CARD
Who: Voltaic indies from Rotterdam
who found each other in 2021.

Track: BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
New preview from their upcoming debut LP, titled
Peeling an Orange in Just One Go that will come
our way November 6th. More info here.


Album artwork

TUTV: These Dutchmen race and rush with nerve-wracking dash
from the kick-off, propelled by a stormy bass/drum tandem that
provokes head-spinning dizziness. Add pungent vocals, zealous
guitars and a razzle-dazzle chorus, and you know we have a
striking knockout.

Artists: PARTY DOZEN
Who: Hellish electro-rock duo from Sydney, Australia.
A project loosely based around improvisation.

Track: FULL POWERS
New preview cut from their upcoming 6th album, titled
21 Bum Salute. Out November 6th. More info here.


Album artwork

PD about the song: “There’s ‘Full Powers’ good and there’s ‘Full Powers’ bad.
The good is when you’re personally becoming too powerful, an angel pisses on
you, everything is going very well and suddenly you’re gliding down the street like
King Swinging Dick.

TUTV: Maniacal mayhem guaranteed with these two hectic Aussies who incite more
bedfull than a full army on a maddening mission. Bashing drums, deranged guitars, and
an unhinged saxophone all contribute to a cooking cacophony that leaves you behind out
of breath and out of mind. Oh my, oh my.

The sirens are blaring. Time to get paranoid.

Band: TRÄŠHBAG
Who: Hefty Irish duo from Dublin (where everyone seems to be in a band lately).
They spent time playing in numerous bands together or standing in for each
other in various bands.

The tandem has a philosophy of fun and not taking themselves too seriously.
In this, the pair found freedom to explore new ideas and sounds, pulling from
a wide range of influences including punk, funk, prog and metal.

Track: BULLET IN MY BRAIN 2
Only their 2nd single, following their boiling
debut slam White Van from last June.

TUTV: Expect some filthy garage rock hubbub. These 2 Irish ramblers
put their trash where their bag is. Broken guitars, nerve-racking bass and
drum attacks and vocal hurly-burly arouse every nerve in your pogoing
body, in just 145 seconds.

Brainsick right? You betcha.

Two words.
Harum scarum.

Band: CLUSTERSUN
Who: Italian psych-daze trio.

Track: FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
Single from their upcoming 4th album,
named Anti You. Out on 5 March 2027
via Sister 9 Recordings.

It’s not a song about surviving the flames. It is about choosing to burn. And as
the first spark of ‘Anti You‘, it offers a glimpse of what lies ahead: a record born from conflict, pushed beyond comfort and driven by the desire to turn distortion, tension
and noise into something dangerously alive.

TUTV: Holy smoke. Clustersun do not waste time; they steamroll all over your poor stereo with industrial firepower that drives your psyche to ballistic frenzy. No rest for the wicked, no emergency exit for them. Action required, soundtracked by this devastating stormer.

Armageddon is just around the corner, and these hopped-up Italians will lead the troops. As Michael Stipe once sang: “It’s the end of the world as we know it, and it feels fine.”

Burn! Burn! Burn!

Artist: HEARTWORMS
Who: The psych-pop project of British songstress Jojo Orme who has
released her applauded debut LP Glutton For Punishment last year,
in February.

Track: GUESS I’M STUCK IN THE DARK

The song is about how our brain matter starts to mislead us when we are left
in the dark and how that feeling of uncertainty overwhelms us. Orme gives that
feeling a different twist precisely by embracing these fears and dancing with
them.

TUTV: Guess, this funky jam will enkindle your hips, your feet, your head,
and c’mon, your whole body to dance in the shadows on the wall.

Band: MOGWAI
Who: The Scottish sound-exploring vets.
They celebrate their 30th anniversary.

To mark the remarkable event, they will release a career-spanning compilation,
with a total of 28 tracks, baptized Happy Tears: The Story Of Mogwai on
8 January 2027.

Track: UNDERGROUND,
A new song that will appear on the compilation,
performed with no other than your tireless punk
dog Iggy Pop.

Pop: “I’ve always liked Mogwai. The opening of the track reminded me
of the crushing modern loneliness. The sung vocal, felt like it was made
for someone who is pissed off and doesn’t mind saying so.”

Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai‘s guitarist/vocalist): “Hearing the Stooges
had been a life-changing moment for me. Their self-titled album was pretty
much my bible. “

TUTV: From a whisper to a scream. A lust for life
motherrocker. A happy song for happy people (sort of).

Band: LUNA ROSA
Who: Indie outfit from Northants,
East Midlands of England.

Track: A ROOM BETWEEN THE OCEANS

The song’s institutional shadows were partly informed by a book, titled One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by American novelist Ken Kesey (1935-2001), while its cosmic imagery reflects the band’s vocalist/lyricist Rory McDade’s fascination with the idea of joy and trauma existing within the same space.

TUTV: Mind-bending mixed emotions collide on this monumental goosebumps
roller coaster. A Room Between The Oceans is an astonishing masterstroke amplified
with overwhelming orchestrations, crescendo rock grooves, Interpol-like guitar bliss
and a captivatingly melodramatic chorus with fervent vocals bringing The Afghan
Whigs’ frontman Greg Dulli‘s feverish voice to mind.

Mesmerizing.

Band: U2
Active: Since 1976 – 50 years!

Track: THE GREATEST SHOW
Newest single from their upcoming 16th full-length,
baptized Carnival De Luz, which will drop on 13th Nov.

TUTV: This could easily be a hidden track from
the 1987 Joshua Tree LP. Emotive, soul-touching
and slightly epic.

Artist: DEXELLE
Who: Seasoned singer-songwriter-guitarist
Nicolas D’Exelle from Antwerp, Belgium.

Track: DEATH OF A ROSE

TUTV: Death Of A Rose is a shiny electro-pop pearl enriched with glammy orchestrations (think Scritti Politti), spot-on arrangements, Dexelle‘s stylish and impassioned vocals, and busy bass play.

It all results in a tremendously catchy tune for which repeat buttons were invented. Although the song’s story runs on mixed emotions, it’s the kind of sonic gem that puts
a big smile on your face and makes your day before it even begins.

Dexelle operates on this newbie in a space where you can show your funky dance
moves to synth-pop bliss by experts such as Tame Impala, Two Door Cinema Club
and MGMT. Yep, great company.

Artist: CARYS KINNELL
Who: An experienced musician and singer-songwriter
who brings everything from the dark & cinematic to
pop-surf-rock into one place.

Track: SOUTHERN STARS

Kinnell: “Southern Stars was written on a gloomy and frigid December evening when I was longing for home, Perth, Western Australia. I had a beach in mind, Cottesloe Beach, that my friends and I would go to during the warm months.

Stemming from there, I thought about other activities I missed doing, like going for
late-night drives with my mates, sunsets by the beach, going to Rottnest Island, late-night
gigs and stargazing, spending time looking at the constellations of the Southern Hemisphere.”

TUTV: Expect a richly orchestrated and arranged sunlit pop tune that shines brightly in this autumn. Melancholia triggers, as so often happens, the needed inspiration to get in touch with today and tomorrow. I reckon that when what was connects with what is, good things can happen, even in this disturbing era.

Kinnell‘s heartening voice expresses those homesick feelings
touchingly. She injects this sonic beauty with galvanizing affectivity.

Entrancing.

Artist: PETER GABRIEL

Track: WHO ARE WE TALKING TO?
Cut from his new, 11th LP, called
o\i. Release date TBA.

Gabriel: “The song was conceived as something that might encourage activism. It might be naive, but I still believe that people have real power for change if they can get together in large enough numbers. Politicians will respond – democracy or not. “My hope is that we start thinking of ourselves as global citizens and that we work together to bring about change on a global scale.”

TUTV: Gabriel grooves once more, half as fast as his Sledgehammer blockbuster,
but catchy enough to get your hips going. Adding a gospel choir here and there
raises the soulful vibrancy.

Band: OBJECTS IN MOTION
Who: Dream-pop trio from Boston. They create a warm embrace of nostalgic reflection that allows the listener to close their eyes and survey a present that’s informed by where we’ve been and where we’re headed.

Track: RIVER ROAD

“‘River Road’ is about childhood. It’s an homage to loving parental and familial relationships, growing up abroad, having a sense of connection to faraway places, being gloriously and deliciously trapped by memories, and being able to look back very fondly at our personal origins. The song is a celebration of our formative years and a letter of gratitude to those sources of unconditional love and support who shaped them.”

TUTV: This is the kind of titillating tune that makes you jump out of your bed in the morning with a smile on your face, that gives you a boost to go out in the streets and hop around while whistling and humming along to this looking-back gem’s vibe and to draw hope, today and tomorrow, from childhood memories. At the end of the dream-pop tunnel there’s always a light in motion.

Artists: DEAD ANYWAY
Who: British duo who set the dark lyricism of Kate Arnold against the music
and soundscapes of Marc Symonds. They offer a mix of poetry, electronica
and guitars. A heady brew of dark, glitchy head-messing wonder.

Track: LOVE AND THE LAW
Single from their new album Flash Mob of One, out November 6th. It’s
their 2nd full-length this year, following February‘s Squeaky Piggy Squeaky.

TUTV: Another mid-tempo, Dead Anyway groover to enjoy in your rockin’ chair.
Love and The Law‘s comfortable beats and Kate Arnold‘s calming voice create a
feel-fine ambiance, as long as you don’t project the song’s artwork on your mind’s
screen for too long.

Band: LUCY’S HOUSE

Track: ALIVE
New cut from their forthcoming debut album, titled The Hours.
Out on Nov 27th via Flaming Heart Records.

TUTV: After a short, messy synth intro, you’re drawn into a funky jam that sticks after one spin. Shiny electronics, a rhythm-repeating drum machine, and pondering vocals make Alive an ambient companion for a cosy night in.

Who: An English producer & songwriter, known for his work with electronicists Feral Five. As well as inhabiting a post-rock landscape with Dice Machine, Drew’s work of times explores neo-classical, electronic, and ambient minimalism.

Track: LANDSCAPES

TUTV: Guess, in these tumultuous times, many of us don’t slow down enough to avoid the mental stress of our daily rat race. Maybe this atmospheric, idyllic synth instrumental will help you enjoy a meditative moment of rest. Landscapes evokes cinematic romanticism and a longing for better days.

Dim the lights, sit down, relax, and empty your head.

📷 Ward Dhoore

Artists: LOST IN SEPTEMBER
Who: Musical project of Belgian singer-songwriters
Alain Quateau and Renilde Gees, who started making
music together, more than thirty years after they
first met.

Track: ENDLESS FLIGHT

“It’s a very personal song about a dark fear that you cannot easily put into words. When
you love someone very much, with everything you have, the thought of letting go is one of the hardest things. And at the same time, there is something wondrously beautiful in that: perhaps letting go is sometimes the most beautiful thing you can do. Endless Flight is about feelings you would rather not express out loud, but which are there nonetheless.”

TUTV: Starry-eyed Simon and Garfunkel mellifluousness lightens this stripped-to-the-bone, piano-guided ballad up. Soul-stirring vocals and affecting chorus harmonies turn Endless Flight into a euphonic lullaby for dreamy fall moments, when you look out the window, watching leaves swirl while figuring out what is going on in your mind.

Poetry in melancholic motion.

Track: WHERE IS GONE?
One of the many highlights on their magnificent new album Dopamine Chamber.

TUTV: It’s a duet featuring frontman Grian Chatten and superstar Rosalía. Together they deliver a dewy-eyed candlelight musing that makes one silent.

Spellbinding doozy.

ALL TOGETHER

Artist: TOM MORELLO
Who: Former RAGTM guitarist
and political activist.

Track: ADJOURN IT
It features his son Roman (on guitar, like his dad)
and System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian .

Morello: “At this historical juncture every act of art is an act of resistance and ‘Adjourn It’,
a collaboration with long time friend Serj Tankian and my 15-year-old guitar wiz son Roman,
is a clarion call for justice in unjust times.”

TUTV: What the fuck! What a cast-iron, anti-tyranny rant.
Get up, stand up, rage against the Trump machine, people.

Artists: ARAB STRAP
Who: Trippy Scottish electro-pop vets, Aidan Moffat and
Malcolm Middleton (1995–2006, 2011, 2016–present).

Track: FIGHTING FOR YOU
2nd single, following the stellar debut one You You You
from their new full-length Half-Told Tales, their 9th, out
on September 4th. Tracklist here.

Moffat: “I grew up in the ’80s, and sometimes I feel like I’m living my youth again: the same myths of a once glorious nation prevail, and the threat of global war seems constant; economic inequality and class divisions just seem to get worse and worse, and the same old bigotries are being encouraged in very dangerous ways.

I try to keep positive by telling myself I’ve seen this kind of thing before
and it will pass. And, of course, venting my frustrations in a big, noisy
banger.”

TUTV: Guess what, the Scots rock out as never before. Holy cow!

At the time, their then record label refused to release it, not commercial enough. The
band blew new life into it, out now. It’s a splendid achievement. Stream it here.

Band: WEEZER
Who: The indestructible nerd
rockers from Los Angeles.

New track: WE MIGHT AS WELL BE STRANGERS
The lead single from their new, forthcoming 20th full-length,
another self-titled one (their 4th actually), decorated with
symbols, think Led Zeppelin‘s 4th LP.

The song features indie team on co-vocals.

TUTV: Hurray! Weezer drops, finally, another
titanic tune, as they used to deliver so many
times before.

Band: WHOLES
Who: Belgian raucous noise outfit led by musical chameleon.
Last year they released their heart-wrenching debut album
A Mass In The Water.

Track: EAZY FOR YOU
A song about frustration
and liberation.

TUTV: Wholes still operate in a dark place where their demons feel at home.
Main man Wolf Vanwymeersch still wallows in self-torchering nightmares.

At times it feels as if somebody tries to rip his heart out with chainsaw riffs.
Quite scary. A gruesome dilemma of staying in the darkness or fighting its
way to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Another wholes-ly goosebumps juggernaut.

Band: THE FALL
Who: You know, the late, legendary Manchester
post-punk collective, fronted by genial putbill
Mark E. Smith (1957-2018).

Track: 30 DEGREES
Taster from a new, posthumous album, named Post Script. It was
recorded not long before Smith‘s death. Tracklist/pre-order info here.

TUTV: It’s vintage The Fall. A droning post-rock jam,
with Smith at his agitated and sneering best.

Band: GHOST PATTERNS
Who: Psychedelic shoegazers from London.
They released their debut album Infinite
in 2021.

Track: SILHOUETTE

TUTV: Chord by chord Silhouette grows into a titanic, psychedelic wall of blistering
guitars. Mind-bending, entrancing, and hypnotic. The non-stop jamming tension of
The Brian Jonestown Massacre comes to mind.

Artists: PALINDRONES
Who: An emotionally immersive, captivating, dark electronic duo from South London.
They take listeners on a shimmering and cathartic sonic journey with dreamy Industrial Synthpop, infused with pounding rhythms, haunting, evocative vocals and esoteric ambiance.

Track: THE BLOOD MOON

“Like the celestial body that gives the song its name, The Blood Moon pulls listeners into
a world where scars become constellations, rivers run red, and every ending delivers the
seed of creation. Immerse yourself in the bloody sea.”

TUTV: The Blood Moon is a dark-EBM-wave whirlwind that creeps under your skin,
into your veins, after a forbidding intro. It’s a sickly sticking tune that spirals and adrenalizes with pithy pzazz.

Macabre alternating/duet vocals emphasize the ill-boding pressure and awaken
bats all around. Palindrones draw you into their sinister and hypnotizing world,
but they leave the door ajar for a possible rebirth.

Track: A HARD LESSON
Newest piece from his 11th LP o\i.
Release date TBA.

Gabriel: “This is the oldest track of the project. It probably started in the late 80s
or early 90s when I was in Senegal. I was falling in love with the music I heard there.
I loved the tension created by the use of polyrhythms, particularly the threes and
fours, so that was the start of this song”.

TUTV: Gabriel sticks to trippy beats
and trancy vibrations. And it works
damn well.

Who: Musical moniker of Berlin-based
indie dream punk Alexander Donat.

Track: VAMPIRE QUEEN
My fav piece from his newest full-length, named Vs. The Real World.
You can stream/buy the album via Bandcamp.

TUTV: Vampire Queen is a double-edged crackerjack. Partly a glam-rock stomper,
partly a high-octane missile. The two parts assembled combine for a super-duper rollercoaster that goes back and forth.

Bingo!

Band: FRENCH NANCY
Who: Post-punk duo
from Hackney, London.

Track: THE WAIT AND FALL

“If you didn’t pay attention to the lyrics, you’d hear an upbeat song.
Underneath, a narrator trying to talk themselves into believing they’re
still in control while underneath, they’re sinking.”

TUTV: Expect darkwavish Cure-esque guitar/pop spiritedness with
a brisk tempo, anthemic impetus and vocal gusto. Shiny score!

Band: HMS MORRIS
Who: A bilingual outfit from Wales. They thrive at the crossroads of art-pop,
theatricality, and fearless exploration. So far, they have released 3 albums.
You can stream them on Spotify.

Track: BWLETIN BRYS

“The rapid leap forward in artificial intelligence technology over the last few years brings
an element of urgency to the questions raised. Would we be better off if human’s weren’t in charge? Should we be happy to hand over control of Earth to a species/entity that prioritizes ecological harmony over cheap smartphones and beef?”

TUTV: Combative guitars, a Krautrock-like drum/bass cadence, and bubbly vocals
cause an unwavering, spine-tingling and hallucinatory jam. Be ready for a hell of
an other-worldly trip.

Newest single from their

Track: MILLHOUSE.
A song that touches on themes many people her age struggle with.
Highlight from her brand new, 2nd EP, called Want Me.

TUTV: With the first seconds kicking in, I thought a country song was about to evolve.
A solid cool one that is. From there on Millhouse progresses in a lazy Courtney Barnett groove modus, evoking swaying body moves while Amy Bell‘s laid-back slacker vocals
glide over it. It’s a funky tune that sticks promptly in your head.

Top-drawer tune!

Track: HOWL
First single from her new 24th LP, first in 17 years,
called Comes In Waves. Out on August 14th.

Simon: “‘Howl’ lives in that space between betrayal and forgiveness, where anger has
to be voiced before it can be released. It’s about letting the frustration out so it doesn’t
sit and simmer. The song begins in anger, but it moves toward forgiveness, and speaks
to any situation where trust has been broken.”

TUTV: Howl shows that Simon‘s voice has aged admirably. Impressively strong
and riveting. The song itself is a tremendously arousing gem. Exquisite performance.

5 BEST ALBUMS OF THE MONTH – FEBRUARY 2026

Posted on by JL

28 February 2026

Band: KULA SHAKER
Who: British psych rock vets, fronted by charismatic
vocalist/songwriter Crispian Mills. Their 1996 debut LP,
titled K made them instant indie stars.

Album: WORMSLAYER
Their 8th one.

Press info: “Named after a 9th-century Indian poet king, the band have always existed
in an alternate reality, mixing mysticism, psychedelia, and raucous rock ‘n’ roll energy. With Wormslayer, they continue that quest, creating a kaleidoscopic journey that feels both
timeless and urgently fresh.”


Press photo

TUTV: KS show again their passion for 60s psychedelic rock/pop flavered with
Indian sitar vibes and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds symphonies. Think early Pink
Floyd, The Kinks, The Pepper Beatles, Traffic and Arthur Lee’s Love.

And they are very good at it. Wormslayer is stuffed with top-flight pop-edelia tunes, elevating this 8th LP to a must-hear on repeat level. Voice/face/songwriter and vibrant guitarist Crispian Mills lifts his troops to ecstasizing heights of nostalgia. Retro delirium
at its todays best. Formidable record.

Band: THE NUDE PARTY
Who: North Carolina collective THE NUDE PARTY, active
since 2012, are a well-oiled 7-piece machine of choogling
rock‘n roll

Album: LOOK WHO’S BACK

Press info: “Look Who’s Back took shape in a homegrown, late-night party atmosphere, playfully debaucherous sessions ran late into the night, the cozy room as crowded with mics, cables, and recording equipment as it was with friends, pizza boxes, and beer cans.”

TUTV: This party squad keeps it simple, but oh irresistibly efficient with laid-back
melodiousness, sparkling guitar play, euphonious harmonies, and top-drawer sing along/tap along/clap along tunes with at times, a cosy country feel. It’s called pop-ular music. Instantly entertaining, chipper and ear-pleasing fun.

Trust me, the cliché, no fillers, all killers, is 100% accurate here.

Album: SQUEAK PIGGY SQUEAK
Their 7th one.

TUTV: Again, DA takes you on a relaxing wander, entertaining your ears, mind,
and psyche en route. They trip and hop their way through eight new pieces. Sonically,
as we experienced so many times before, Tricky, Arab Strap, and Portishead come
to mind.

Sydmonds designs a fitting, easy-listening atmosphere, flavored with scintillating guitar
sparks, shiny synth,s and bass-dipped Massive Attack-like percussion, for Arnold‘s spoken
word reflections.

Her laid-back vocals suit the whole sonic picture organically, and her hush-hush
tonality creates an inviting, intimate ambiance. Thematically, the songs are Arnold reflections on her mental issues. The overall outcome of this new LP is engrossing
once again.

Band: RONKER
Who: Belgian most terrifying noiz turbine,
fronted by manic demon Jasper De Petter.

Album: RESPECT THE HUSTLE, I WON’T BE YOUR DOG FOREVER
Their sophomore.

Ronker about the record: “The initial plan was to write half of the record completely sober. We mostly succeeded in that effort. Not quite. We noticed that the songs we wrote in those sober sessions had a very distinct nature compared to the more fierce banger-like
songs we hammer out when we have some sort of intoxicants in our veins.”

TUTV’s impressions.

Ronker rage and race once again.
These volcanic punk hyenas develop
an earsplitting havoc that crushes
your mind, your psyche and your
shaking stereo.


Manic demon Jasper De Petter – Trix, Antwerp – Photo by Turn Up The Volume

Vociferous vocalist Kasper has 4 lungs
and iron pipes. He growls, barks, howls
and spits and sneers at a sizzling speed.

His backing crew hits hard, really hard.
Schizo riot gun riffs and a Herculean
bass/drum tandem. What you hear
is what your terrified ears get.

On the short & soft, classical piano-driven
instrumental in the middle, you can take
a breather, and the closing ballad, an
intensity-growing ballad Using Eyes is
one of my favorite pieces on the record.

This 2nd LP could easily be the soundtrack
to Quentin Tarantino‘s first horror movie.

Band: GORILLAZ
Who: The brainchild of Blur’s Damon Albarn and comic book artist
Jamie Hewlett, who celebrated the 25th anniversary of their top-ranking
project this year.

Album: THE MOUNTAIN
Their 9th.

Press info: “The album is a collection of 15 new tracks featuring artists and
collaborators, living and dead, including: Ajay Prasanna, Anoushka Shankar, Asha
Bhosle, Asha Puthli, Bizarrap, Black Thought, Gruff Rhys, Idles, Jalen Ngonda, Johnny
Marr, Kara Jackson, Omar Souleyman, Paul Simonon, Sparks, Trueno and Yasiin Bey;
as well as the voices of the late Bobby Womack, Dave Jolicoeur, Dennis Hopper and
Mark E. Smith

TUTV: Gorillaz offer us the first summer record of the year. And if you’re a longtime
G fan you know what that means. Yes, a soft stream of easygoing, feel-good, and bubbly reggae-tinted tunes. But it’s not all sunlight and carefreeness.

Albarn and Hewlett both lost their fathers, in between two trips they did together to
India. Those sad happenings resonate in several melancholic musings, embedded in
Indian instrumentation (lots of sitars) and Eastern vibes, yet they obviously want to
keep up the good spirits and look to the future.

It results in one of their most entertaining longplayers in their 25-year career.

DEAD ANYWAY Trip And Hop Their Way Through Intimate Reflections On New Album ‘SQUEAK PIGGY SQUEAK’

Posted on by JL

23 February 2026

British duo DEAD ANYWAY set the dark lyricism of Kate Arnold against the music
and soundscapes of Marc Symonds. They offer a mix of poetry, electronica and guitars.
A heady brew of dark, glitchy head-messing wonder.

They now launched their 7th album, titled SQUEAK PIGGY SQUEAK.

Again, DA takes you on a relaxing wander, entertaining your ears, mind, and psyche en route. They trip and hop their way through eight new pieces. Sonically, as we experienced so many times before, Tricky, Arab Strap, and Portishead come to mind.

Sydmonds designs a fitting, easy-listening atmosphere, flavored with scintillating guitar
sparks, shiny synth,s and bass-dipped Massive Attack-like percussion, for Arnold‘s spoken
word reflections.

Her laid-back vocals suit the whole sonic picture organically, and her hush-hush
tonality creates an inviting, intimate ambiance. Thematically, the songs cover very personal, mental issues, which is why we asked Kate to guide us through them.

– WITHOUT IS A LUXURY –

“I thought I’d start with ‘Without is a Luxury’ and work back, since the last track of ‘Squeak
Piggy Squeak’ is a reflection on those which have gone before. When I’ve emerged (blinking,
like a mole) from writing for a collection, it’s always hard to work out what planet I’ve been on lyric-wise, and it takes some time for the themes to appear. And that’s what the track is about, really. Taking stock, I guess.”


.
– TACKY WALLS –

“I suffer quite badly (physically and emotionally) from claustrophobia and ‘Tacky Walls’
is about having to have a brain scan, and a diagnosis that came from it. It’s that
simple, really.

As always with Dead Anyway, the album title comes from something within one of
the tracks and ‘Squeak Piggy Squeak’ (from this one) is a frankly quite sinister party
game (Google it) which I remember being terrified at the prospect of playing as a child.”


.
– THE OVERLINE –

“This one covers how the internet has overtaken our lives, the way it seems to have changed basic human nature, and how grateful I am that I won’t be around to witness the way I see it playing out, if we don’t wake up and reflect.”


.
– DUMB WAITER –

“The theme of claustrophobia appears again in ‘Dumb Waiter’. We all dig our own
holes, don’t we, and those holes can get way too comfortable if they’re allowed to go unrecognised. I seem to resort to using the second person (the ‘you’) when I’m being
particularly self-accusatory – so I was clearly talking about myself here.”


.
– A SHIFT OF PERSPECTIVE –

“The single, ‘A Shift of Perspective’ is, sadly—but not, I’m afraid, untypically—the only vaguely optimistic track on the album. Magic Eye puzzles were popular in the UK a while ago (again, Google it) and the technique was to stare at the pattern really hard, adjusting your focus, until the 3D image (or the answer to the puzzle) suddenly appeared.

Some people, including Marc, never got the knack and he still doesn’t know what the image is in the artwork! The lyric is basically saying, ‘keep going, something will shift’. And of course, what’s not to love about a Wizard of Oz reference?”


.
– NO POPCORN –

“This song is another self-beratory thing. I’ve always been gormless. Far too long spent looking out of the train window at the trees and the sky, not even considering the destination. And now look.”


.
– BEYOND REPAIR –

“‘Beyond Repair’ deals with trying to contain depression, trying to crack on with life when depression hits, and recognising—and gathering the nerve to utilise—someone who might
just understand. It’s also about not wanting to be a burden to them.”


.
– WHO NEEDS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS –

“Stick ‘the voice of The Mysterons’ into YouTube: genuinely, is there anything more terrifying?
Is there anything more terrifying than what we’re capable of doing to ourselves in our heads, alone in the wee small hours? Another second person. I’ll leave it there.

So, there we have it. The themes have emerged. Claustrophobia,
alienation, depression. We’re not called Dead Anyway for nothing.”


.
Thank you, Kate, for your clarifying insights.

Band: HAVVK
Who: Steamy punk rock duo
from Ireland. They have 3 albums
under their belt.

Track: ON TIME

“This song is about the endless lists of goals and resolutions we make for ourselves, many of which have arbitrary deadlines attached to them. ‘On Time’ is trying to capture that feeling of being right on the crest of a wave of busyness, the ‘last wave’ where you think surely it will be calm seas after this. But there’s always another and another.”

TUTV: WTF. Riot grrl clamour is back, but dirtier, rawer, and LOUDER.

Have A Pint sounds like it was recorded in their local pub’s toilet, generating some barbed wire shit, juiced with obstreperous duet vocals that drive you nuts .

swing spiced with wah-wah guitar sparks and, of course, Kate Arnold‘s
spoken-word panache.

Envigorating.

Leeds, UK.

Track: REAL TREE LEE

“Lee is a guy that we never want to become, let’s make that clear! This tune goes out to all the blokes who keep it blokey and delve too far into the cretin side of the internet, dudes that base their entire lives around some bonkers right wing conspiracy. When it comes to Lee, what you see isn’t a what you get, and what you get is much darker than you’d expect.”

Ali Lipman (guitarist/vocalist) channels an inner strength as she details
the pressures women face to be emotionally regulated when everything
is overstimulating.

“We’re known for our upbeat power-emo songs, with big leads, big harmonies, and big refrains. This song perfectly encapsulates what we do best. There’s plenty of surprises to come on Place Memory, but ‘Calm & Delivered’ is the perfect definition of a Cape Crush anthem.”

TUTV: A kind of those tunes that puts a blissful smile on your face right away.
Guitar fireworks from the kinetic kick-off, working their way to the heartening
chorus. Sinewy indie fuel to get you going. Sensitive vocals. Punchy girl power.

Buzzing.

lo-fi/garage sounds. The gear I like to use is simple and mostly broken.’

TUTV: Full electrifying speed from the get-go. This swirling guitar-riffing

Holloway lets his sentiments roll out, loud and clear.

Lest We Forget – TUTV’s 20 Best Albums Of 2024 – Today: No. 18

Posted on by JL

We’re on our way, slowly but surely, to the end of 2025.
Instead of starting to think about this year’s best LPs,
let’s go back to 2024 and listen to TUTV’s 20 Best Albums
again, and look back on what I wrote about each one
of them.

Today: No. 18

Artists: DEAD ANYWAY
British duo combining the dark lyricism of Kate Arnold
against the music and soundscapes of Marc Symonds.

Album: TOUGH LISTEN

TUYV: Slow/mid-tempo/fast trip-hop tunes are wrapped in layers of
distortion and feedback, creating an eerie and at times sinister ambiance.

Massive Attack, Tricky, Arab Strap and Mike Skinner’s The Streets
and Laurie Anderson‘s latest opus Amelia come to mind.

DA resonates as EBM for people who come alive when the darkness sets in, far away
from our 24/7 suffocating life and the world’s destructive nature as we experience now, again.

Kate Arnold‘s spoken word stories evolve on waves of chilling synth soundscapes that actually ease one’s confused mind (mine, for sure) and transfer you to your space of imaginativeness. Trance massage it is. You’ll feel alive anyway.

DEAD ANYWAY – British Poetic And Versatile Trip-Hop Duo Tells Us All About Their New Compelling EP ‘THIS OR BROADMOOR’

Posted on by JL

31 July 2025

Artists: DEAD AWAY
Who: British duo project that sets the dark lyricism of Kate Arnold against the music and soundscapes of Marc Symonds. A mix of poetry, electronica and guitars. A heady brew of dark, glitchy head-messing wonder.

TUTV: The duo has a sort of enigmatically attractive power that creates an aural
curiosity. It happens once again with this new EP. In 4 songs, lasting only 8 minutes
all together (a bit too short, guys) they draw you into their heartfelt psyche, lyrically
and musically.

Expect a melting pot of trip-hop dynamics, industrial echoes, schizo guitar scratches, distorted synths, drum/bass reverberations and Arnold‘s spoken word musings.

Mind you, This Or Broadmoor is not some arty-farty piece of work. There’s an organic catchiness that massages your ears and mind gently and makes your hips groovin’ smoothly. Okay, enough talk from yours truly.

Kate and Marc took the time to guide us through
This Or Broadmoor, track by track. Here we go,
fifty/fifty.

Kate: “The collection as a whole is around two themes: 1) the way older people (especially women) are viewed by society, and 2) generally taking stock of my own life so far.”

CRONE


.
Kate: “I think ‘Crone’ is perhaps pretty self-explanatory – sure, the way women are
overlooked once they cease being viewed as of use sexually but also that their opinions
are often discounted due to their age, despite their experiences. Of course, this stuff
applies to men too – but I’m not one so can only speak from my own standpoint!”

CLOWN CAR
.

Kate: “‘Clown Car’ is me berating myself for spending all my years turning my life into poetry and lyrics, when, really where has it got me? Would it not have been better to have just shut
up and got on with it, like any normal person?

The meaning of the EP titles comes in here too: Broadmoor is a high security mental
institution/prison in the UK – and I genuinely feel that if I hadn’t found the ability to turn
‘every stray thought and feeling’ into something lyrical then I’d have been in real trouble mentally. I know Marc feels the same about making music, so it’s an extension of that
feeling really: it’s Dead Anyway, or Broadmoor for us! “

A FEAR OF EXPLOSIONS


.

Kate: “It’s a taking stock piece. It’s not a swipe at an ex; it’s more about learning through one’s experiences and the way those experiences shape you as you age. The ‘you’ it’s addressed to is any younger person, who may feel that age won’t ever come to them. As we all did, of course.”

ANOTHER NIGHT DONE


.
Kate: “It’s quite simply, a list of my recent dreams that I was keeping! Marc came up with
a ‘groove’ one night in the studio and, seeing that he was on a roll, I just started putting them
to what he was doing and recorded the vocal there and then. It’s also, I guess, a nod to the EP title, since I’m aware that the whole lyric is fairly barking!”

Marc about the music:

“After writing ‘Unspoken Word’, ‘Partially Eaten by Animals’ and ‘Tough Listen’ in 2 years,
I felt musically exhausted. I genuinely thought that my best musical work was behind me and couldn’t see the point in any of it. Kate was still writing, however, and chose two tracks (‘Crone’ and ‘Clown Car’) from what she calls ‘the pantry’ of tracks I’d sent her over the years which she hadn’t already used.

This kicked me up the bum to come up with two new tracks, one of which (‘Fear of Explosions’) was written to a piece she’d already recorded into her phone at home (you may be able to tell this from the recording) and it was a real nod to how we were forced to do things due to Covid restrictions during the first 4 EPs and the first album!

The other one I wrote something brand new for, ‘Another Night Done’, came together
on the night – a first for us as we usually write separately. I really just wanted to create something that would make people dance!”

20 BEST ALBUMS OF 2024

Posted on by JL

– 1 –

Band: THE CURE
Album: Songs Of A Lost World
The Goth Gods’ 14th LP, their first
in 16 years.

Orchestrator Robert Smith about
their supreme new opus.

TUTV: In the past 16 years Robert Smith lost his mother, father, and brother.
All these painful events led to this extraordinarily touching record. It’s one
long, emotionally layered lament that works liberating in the end.

Strong sentiments of heartache, grief, and sadness are omnipresent, but you
hear and feel frequently that Smith has accepted humankind’s inevitable destiny.
Live and die. Life and death.

Sonically, it feels like if you’re part of a funeral march that progresses in slow
motion. Almost every song starts with a long instrumental intro of waves of
mourning synths and weeping guitars, and every time when Smith‘s feverish
voice joins in, the sense of tristesse augments wondrously heavy-hearted.
5-star masterpiece!

Band: FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES (UK)
Album: Dark Rainbow
Their 5th

TUTV: Musically, tattoo artist Carter and his accomplices have left their angry punk days behind them and moved closer to classic rock on this surprising and bold longplayer.

And it’s a truly staggering result with several melodramatic power ballads that generate goosebumps, and some stoner rock ebullitions to keep balance. Carter sings his heart out with monumental vivaciousness. A vocal tour de force throughout, dealing with up and down emotions.

Band: FAT WHITE FAMILY (UK)
Album: Forgiveness Is Yours
Their 4th one

Lias Saoudi (voice/face/wordsmith/poet/writer): ‘Forgiveness Is Yours,’ is about life as eternal contingency… about no longer suspecting, but knowing that this shit will never get any easier… in fact, it’s about to get a whole lot worse, your body’s going to go into decay and the people you love will slowly start dropping dead around you… but somehow, you’ve smashed enough
of your expectations thus far in life, you’re sort of fine with it… you accept it.The overarching aesthetic themes at work here are torpor and further torpor still.”

TUTV: Without a shadow of a doubt their most startling, and most creative/inventive accomplishment. Sounds like FWF have written/recorded the bone-chilling soundtrack
for an entertaining Doomsday party. Enigmatic reflections, dark deliberations, distressing vibes, a John Lennon tribute and Saoudi as the foreboding messenger and sinister poet in the middle of it all. It’s the end of the world, as we know it, and it feels like Fat White Family.

you. I love that about it. I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me. It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it.”

TUTV: Cave is the God of cloak-and-dagger balladry. Now here’s a God I can believe in. Again he shows why he’s one of the best ever crooners in the universe. And lyrically it
feels as if, after so many devastating, heart-crushing years, with the loss of two sons,
he lets sparks of light back in his life. God bless Nick Cave.

Artist: JACK WHITE
Album: No Name
6th solo one

TUTV: White returns to his punk blues roots of the early days. Swipe after swipe,
blue stripe after blue stripe, kick after kick, clap after clap. A total of 13 thunder
strokes. High-wired electricity. Dope stuff.

Band: THE MYSTERINES (Liverpool, UK)
Album: Afraid Of Tomorrows
2nd LP

TUTV: The charismatic Lia Metcalfe‘s singular voice, both anxious and bewitching,
is all over this new, awe-inspiring full-length. Overall the sound is even more gloomy
and spine-chilling than on their debut from 2022.

It fits Metcalfe‘s introspective reflections on her turbulent past terrifically well.
They’re embedded in arresting songs that send shivers down your spine.

But, eventually, there’s a light shining
at the end of the Mysterines tunnel.
One that illuminates their future
and your stereo.

Band: THE BLACK KEYS (Ohio, US)
Album: Ohio Players
Their 12th

TUTV: The star duo made an album with lots of bright pop tunes and some blues light
ones. The licks/riffs and hooks – about a thousand – haven’t that BK’s raw and rough edge as we are used to, but I don’t miss it whatsoever.

The overall sonority leans more towards power guitar pop (slow, mid-tempo and only
a couple of fast ones). I never thought that the tandem would come up after 23 (!) years with a pretty different sounding, coherent longplayer, without ignoring their blues roots that is. I played Ohio Players more than their whole catalog together. Say no more.

Artist: JEEN (Toronto, CA)
Album: Gold Control
Her 4th one

TUTV: The three main elements that make this album special are Jeen’s remarkable
voice, her high-quality songwriting expertise, and the heart-and-soul passion that streams throughout it. Whether Jeen rocks out, muses, or swings moods, she always holds your aural attention.

Band: RIDE (UK)
Album: Interplay
7th one

TUTV: With Interplay, their shoegaze past goes into the dustbin. Ride came up here
with a multi-layered pop LP stuffed with arousing tunes, alternated with pepped-up reveries.

All songs are sublimely orchestrated and bathe in a psychedelic jacuzzi,
while vocalist Mark Gardner‘s velvet vocals match the radiant atmosphere
exquisitely. It’s a new ride, and it’s a gratifying one.

Duo: LIAM GALLAGHER and JOHN SQUIRE
Album: Liam Gallagher – John Squire


Daft album artwork designed by John Squire

TUTV: This first Mancunian collaboration sounds as if was made about 30 years ago.
Most tunes could be leftovers from The Stone Roses‘ 2nd and final 1994 LP Second Coming, the one on which Squire played his guitar exactly the way Jimmy Page did in Led Zeppelin for years. And Liam is Liam. Arms together on his back and letting his pipes do the talking. The two heroes just did what they wanted to do, making an album together and having fun doing it.

Before I was aware of it I had played the album about 10 times in 2 days.

Mind you this is not a masterwork whatsoever, but all 10 tunes are top-entertaining
and stick faster than I can say “I want the Stone Roses support Oasis on their reunion tour”?

Artist: T BONE BURNETT (US)
Album: The Other Side

TUTV: The Other Side is a concept record about a “mysterious couple” having
adventures in an otherworldly America. The by-now 76-year-old Burnett translates
their journey in lovey-dovey lullabies, heartfelt musings, and amourus ballads.

This is the perfect record for daydreaming and relaxation. Soft, mellow, and tender.
His slightly hoarse Americana voice enchants and entices all through this sepia-colored album. Pure romanticism. Pure songsmith.

Artist: JUJU (Italy)
Brainchild of Sicilian multi-instrumentalist
and producer Gioele Valenti.
Album: Apocalypse Is God’s Spoiler


Photo by Turn Up The Volume

TUTV: Valenti is a jam champ and a groove master creating electrifying, trance-like vibrations that transfer you to the dark side of your mind where you can freely
fantasize and explore your own psyche.

Circling Krautrock-like psychedelia is all over the place. Choir chants and spacey percussion cause a tribal atmosphere à la The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. Mind-bending and dream-triggering. As always.

Band: THE LIBERTINES
Album: All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade.
4th one


Promo pic

TUTV: After the turmoil, chaos, and drugs addictions (especially Doherty) of the early
years, the side-projects, solo records, and getting clean and healthy the Libs are back, again. They’re not the boys in the band of yesteryear; they’re now grown-up men who
enjoy a stable life and are still obsessed by making music.

They became notable, experienced musicians who left their hedonistic lifestyle behind themselves for several years now. Not one dull moment, not one dull song on the eastern esplanade.

Band: FONTAINES D.C.
Album: Romance
4th LP

TUTV: The Irishmen have become first-class songwriters (which they already proved on previous LP Skinty Fia– – still my favourite one). Frontman Grian Chatten‘s lyrics show (again) his observative view on this modern-day, confused world and how it affects
his inner-self.

This is not their masterpiece yet to my ears, but it’s only a matter of
time that they will come up with a longplayer that will blow us all away.

Band: THE SMILE
Sort of supergroup featuring 2 radioheads, Thom
Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and drummer Tom Skinner.

Album: Cutouts.
Their 3rd LP in just 2 years
(Radiohead 8 in 31 years).

TUTV: By far their best to my ears. On the previous 2 ones they tried too hard
to not sound like Radiohead (which they did frequently anyway) and did it with
too many redundant orchestrations, too many unnecessary layers and a bit of
arty farty structures here and there.

Mind you these are good LPs but on this one they keep it far more simple resulting
in 10 very compelling pieces of mesmerizing music. Trippy fast ones alternate with slow
musing ones and throughout the arrangements are subtle, direct and most entertaining with Thom Yorke sounding, yes, at ease, not forcing his compassionate voice/vocals. Bingo.

Artist: RICHARD HAWLEY (Sheffield, UK)
Album: In This City They Call You Love
His 10th


Press photo by 📸: Dean Chalkley

TUTV: Nostalgia is the keyword all over this fully devoted record. As we already know
for a long time Hawley is a romantic at heart who’s in love with his city Sheffield since
he was a child. It’s more than just his hometown.

It’s the place where he experienced all things good and bad, happy and sad. It leads
to yearning renumerations, fanciful daydreams and wistful meditations. With his soft-heartened voice and late-night stories, the late great Roy Orbison comes to mind on
several occasions.

Artists: DEAD ANYWAY
British duo combining the dark lyricism of Kate Arnold
against the music and soundscapes of Marc Symonds.
Album: Tough, Listen

TUYV: Slow/mid-tempo/fast trip-hop tunes are wrapped in layers of
distortion and feedback, creating an eerie and at times sinister ambiance.

Massive Attack, Tricky, Arab Strap and Mike Skinner’s The Streets
and Laurie Anderson‘s latest opus Amelia come to mind.

DA resonates as EBM for people who come alive when the darkness sets in, far away
from our 24/7 suffocating life and the world’s destructive nature as we experience now, again.

Kate Arnold‘s spoken word stories evolve on waves of chilling synth soundscapes that actually ease one’s confused mind (mine, for sure) and transfer you to your space of imaginativeness. Trance massage it is. You’ll feel alive anyway.

Band: LIP CRITIC
Mental electro-punks from NY
Album: Hex Dealer

“The singular mixture of classic punk/hardcore and electronic styles result in 12 frantic tracks of postmodern pop for the genreless future. Painted with a broad pallet of only the most extreme hues of emotion, each track is marked by a distinctive danceable mania.”

TUTV: Let your head kicked in with schizophrenic disco sledgehammers for illegal raves in batcaves where dropouts, misfits, loners, eccentrics, bohos, and other related outsiders gather to move in mysterious ways, far away from the normal world.

Band: SHELLAC (US)
Album: To All Trains
6th LP


(Photo by Turn Up The Volume – Belgium 2017)

TUTV: It’s vintage Shellac/Steve Albini with its wayward song structures, its
capricious and minimalistic approach, its broken riffs, edgy hooks, sinewy
drumming, Albini‘s firm vocals and the raw and rough post-punk dynamics.

Absolutely weird to listen to, knowing
that the noise wizard is here no more.

He passed away on May 7, following a heart attack.
Only 10 days before the album release. Sad loss.

5 BEST ALBUMS OF THE MONTH – OCTOBER 2024

Posted on by JL

2 November 2024

Band: THE SMILE
Who: Sort of supergroup featuring 2 radioheads, Thom
Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and drummer Tom Skinner.

Album: CUTOUTS.
Their 3rd LP in just 2 years (Radiohead 8 in 31 years).

NME says: “The Smile return for more jazz-influenced,
experimental rock and they seem to be having more fun
than ever.”

TUTV: By far their best to my ears. On the previous 2 ones they tried too hard
to not sound like Radiohead (which they did frequently anyway) and did it with
too many redundant orchestrations, too many unnecessary layers and a bit of
arty farty structures here and there.

Mind you they are good LPs but on this one they keep it far more simple resulting
in 10 very arresting pieces of mesmerizing music. Trippy fast ones alternate with slow
musing ones and throughout the arrangements are subtle, direct and most entertaining with Thom Yorke sounding, yes, at ease, not forcing his compassionate voice/vocals. It all feels tremendously natural and blithely .

Band: PORRIDGE RADIO
Who: Much lauded indie outfit out of Brighton (UK),
led by emotive songstress Dana Margolin.

Album: CLOUDS IN THE SKY THEY WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME.

Margolin: “A lot of this album is about a more frenetic and desperate kind of love.
It is about completely losing my sense of self in a relationship, and the deep residue
of insecurity and pain that lingered and clouded a new relationship. There was a lot
of love and confusion, all interspersed with exhaustion and pain. All the songs started
out as poems. I wanted to challenge myself. ”

Uncut Magazine: “Sitting somewhere between alt.rock, indie-pop and a singer-songwriter album, it’s a neat balancing act that feels personal and intimate yet also sonically ambitious.”

TUTV: Spearhead Dana Margolin (guitar/vocals/songwriter) opens her heart and soul
again on this new longplayer. Following a toxic relationship, she recovered, rediscovered her own self, and looks to the future with confidence. As in the previous 3 albums she’s
as expressive and emotive about her turbulent personal life, even more explicit.

Sonically we get the by now familiar song structure. Slow start, building up the fervency, and finishing with haunting outbursts. But this time all pieces/tracks fall more into place than before. The songs have more body, are more elaborated and display Margolin‘s growing composing skills. Yes, it’s PR’s best effort yet.

Artist: JOE GENI
Who: Passionate singer-songwriter
from New York, NY.

Album: CITIES BUILT UPON CITIES
His 3rd longplayer.

An 8-track offering that traces the transformation of Long Island City, the part of
Queens that Geni calls home. Situated across the East River from Manhattan with its stunning skyline views and now booming with skyscrapers, this place is haunted by its industrial past and friends who have moved on. These recordings explore themes of change, impermanence and loss amidst the city’s constant evolution.


Photo by Alice Teeple

TUTV: I really like the idea of Cities Built Upon Cities. An universal sign’ of the modern
times. Just google old photos of your own town and compare them with today’s views.
Geni seems to have it done in detail with his beloved Long Island City and wrote eight
heavy-hearted songs about it.

Romantic reveries with real/surreal images of the past, present and future of LIC. Bittersweet, richly orchestrated, symphonies with his monumental voice – think of Perfume Genius, Talk Talk’s Mark Hollis and James Bay‘s bewitching vocality – taking them to sky-high heights, up there in the clouds, while floating over the city. This is the kind of record you listen best to with headphones on, dimmed lights and far away from our daily rat race. It’ll evoke mixed emotions about the place you love the most. Well, that’s what I experienced while listening.
