Striking piece and striking performance.

Band: THE OPEN FLAMES
Who: 4-piece from London who bring equal parts attitude and psychedelia
to their rough-edged, literate “pop noir”. Lead singer Dave writes songs
between aid missions in war zones

Track: DROP A COIN

Dave Eastman (vocalist): “We wrote the song with the metaphor of paying a tithe to a blind girl sitting at the Gates of Hell to describe the hesitation before knocking on the door of your prom date, or a wedding chapel. It was inspired by the final moments of Ian Curtis of Joy Division, before he passed into another life. The song’s second half passes through the Gates
to fly over a tormented landscape of Dante-esque souls who rise up howling from the fires and boiling muds of Hell.”

Sonically it’s an easy-going guitar-pop gem with an instantly sticky impact.
Lyrically, it’s a sort of hallucinatory brain twister. All together, it’s a splendid
debut. No wonder Satan plays it on repeat on his stereo in hell.

Band: THE SMILE
Trio featuring two radioheads, Thom Yorke and
Jonny Greenwood and drummer Tom Skinner.

Track: NO WORDS

A non-single piece and one of my favourites on
their brand-new LP Cutouts. Their 3rd and by far
their best full-length in just 2 years.

Hypnotic and chill-out jam.

Band: VIRGINS
Who: Belfast-based outfit who transcend that
reductive tag to deliver a noise which is thrillingly
loud and weightily light.

Track: gliss

Last April these Irish shoegaze dreamers released their
remarkable debut album nothing hurt and anything
was beautiful.

TUTV said: “Virgins take you on a flight at supersonic speed way up into the sky
above the clouds, where reality becomes surreality, where layers of seventh heaven
shoegaze symphonies blast from the plane’s speakers. For 40 phantasy-stimulating
minutes you’ll forget all about what happens down there, on our dramatically disturbed planet.”

Now they shared gliss that initially was a bonus track on the album’s
Bandcamp edition, on all platforms. I extends and finishes their debut
LP with celestial force.
