New striking strokes

18 August 2023

Artist: HOWLIN’ CIRCUS
Who: Transcendent Middle Eastern-inspired psychedelic rock
project masterfully orchestrated by the visionary Canadian-Iraqi
musician Jafar Sandouk.

New single: INNOCENCE

It’s the 3rd shared piece from his new, 2nd, upcoming
album, titled ‘Creature‘and lands on 27 October.

“With his gritty, powerful, and defiant lyrics, Sandouk fearlessly blurs the boundaries of genres, weaving a mesmerizing tapestry that unveils the devastating personal impact of Islamophobia and white supremacy in the post-9/11 era. Yet, his music goes beyond mere social commentary; it delves deep into the heart of humanity, exploring the world’s sharp decline in empathy.”


Album artwork

TUTV: Following the first two singles, Only One Night, with its rotating rock groove
and Dresden, poppier and with an Eastern-vibe resonance comes Innocence. Expect a multi-layered psychedelic jam with a wall of reverberating guitar electricity that causes trance-like dynamics, and infused here and there with feverish organ fragments. Think
The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Sandouk‘s alluring voice blend organically with the musical orchestration which
leads to a complete achievement. Here’s an anthem that calls for global tolerance
and universal unity, ’cause that’s the only way to survive. We all should try it.

Tune in.

Berlin-based Post-Punk Act ERRORR Inspired By Serial Killer On ‘INNOCENCE’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

26 January 2023

Band: ERRORR
Who: Post-punk outfit based in Berlin, founded in 2019
by Swedish multi-instrumentalist Leonard Kaage (guitarist
and producer of The Underground Youth).

Debut Album: SELF DESTRUCT
Release: 3 March 2023 via Anomic Records

New single/video: INNOCENT

The song’s story is inspired by serial killer and Satanic cult member
David Berkowitz, known as the Son Of Sam. Initially, he claimed he
was innocent of killing 8 people as he acted on the orders of a demon,
manifested in the form of a dog belonging to his neighbor Sam.

Kaage: “It’s a story about a man who is told by his God to kill. He goes
through with it and afterward plead innocence, as he only acted out his
God’s will. Whether God is in heaven or just in people’s heads is not up
to me to decide, but the message with this song is: take responsibility
for your own actions.”

TUTV: This astounding psychedelic piece rotates around a bouncy bass riff,
detonates every time the chorus comes on, while anxious vocals roll all over
its groovy cadence. The spine-chilling resonance grabs you by the throat from
start to finish. Discover the 3 previously shared tracks on Bandcamp and realize
that an arresting album is waiting around the corner to be unleashed.

The music video is inspired by The Keepers, a documentary about a covered-up
murder by a priest of a nun in Baltimore who discovered that he sexually abused
teenage girsl in a school.

Listen. Watch.
