1. ‘Heavy Heavy’ by YOUNG FATHERS
This sizzling Scottish trio nailed it big time with their 3rd LP. Heavy Heavy is one of those rare remarkable records that arouses from start to finish, with the cliché no fillers, all killers all over it. You hear its sonic brilliance, you feel its dauntless vocality, you realise quickly that this album is special, very special.
(Photo by Turn Up The Volume – Antwerp 2023)
An undisputable first-class work where vitalizing soul, ecstatic pop melodiousness
and self-willed hip-hop come together in an organic way. A spiritual happening.
Funk-punk drunk virtuosity with astonishing vocal teamwork.

2. ‘Sea Of Mirrors’ by THE CORAL (Liverpool, UK)
The seasoned psych-folk-pop-rock ramblers launched their 11th album, named
Sea Of Mirrors last September. Unquestionably one of their best in their succesful
career.
(Press photo via Maintain Perspective PR)
Expect a non-stop sequence of reflective pop fantasies, of tantalizing tunes
with a laid-back resonance and meditative musings that cause a welcome,
lazy state of mind.
Blissfully feelgood vocality, with a melancholic timbre, everywhere.
Gently weeping strings. A seamless sonic marriage of acoustic and electric guitars.
It’s vintage The Coral as we know them, but even more yearning for romanticism than before. So they left their island and travelled to their fictional Western reality where all
sorts of misfits try to survive. Americana, the Liverpool way.

3. ‘Fronzoli’ by PSYCHEDELIC PORN CRUMPETS
The turbulent psych-rock team from Perth, Australia hit bullseye with
their 6th full lenght Fronzoli (meaning ‘something unnecessary added
as decoration’).
Press photo
Uppercut after uppercut, corker after corker, jackhammer after jackhammer and two breathers with Cpt. Gravity Mouse Welcome and the short acoustic beauty ‘Illusions of Grandeur’). Your ears need to be in great shape to absorb
this whirlwind record.
If PPC were animals they would be hungry wolves wandering in the deserts of Australia looking for prey. Their melting pot of glam metal, pithy punk, high-voltage pop and other noisy shout-outs results in an ecstatic body of infectious. Btw, am I the only one who thinks McEwan‘s voice resembles Arctic Monkey’s Alex Turner one (now and then) and vice versa, of course.

4. ‘War Is Obsolete’ by THE BARBITURATES (Northern Island)
These Northern Irish political punk guerilla’s launched
a fully topical record titled War Is Obsolete
this year.
Here’s a message from their HQ in Londonderry.
“Some of The 1% are investors in the great big industrial war machine – the clearing / repairing of war torn cities / countries and rebuilding them along with there big pharma – food n supplies companies ect they make massive profits on all levels of war from the bullets n bombs fired to the food n medicine and everything you can imagine in between – this collection of sound scapes and anti war songs on this guerrilla ontological discordant meditation Ep are our SMALL way of trying to help raise money for the innocent human beings being punished and hurt because of other people’s ignorance – hate – fear – oppression!! ALL THE PROCEEDS OUR DIGITAL SALES NOW AND UNTIL THINGS INPROVE WILL GO TO THESE PEOPLE!!”
The Barbiturates care about our messed-up society, about humanity, about the weak, the poor and the outsiders, about tolerance, about inclusivity, about the desperate need for global peace. Couldn’t agree more.
Unfortunately, all the caring in the world can’t avoid (another) dirty war. After Russia invaded Ukraine early last year, Israel and Palestine started a filthy, deadly war in Gaza two weeks ago. Horrible, just horrible, again. One day a devastating world catastrophe will end it all.
War Is Obsolete is an intruiging, versatile and bone-chilling journey. Sonically with its experimental electronica psych jams and ambient, spacey orchestrations. The evil terror caused by war-and-power greedy scumbags needs to be stopped. The late great pacifist John Lennon never understood these murderous maniacs either, as we know it.
Purchase this record, digitally, 5£ or more.
All proceeds got to PCRF – Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

5. ‘Ignore Grief’ by XIU XIU (California)
This Californian experimental act, founded in 2002 by singer-songwriter Jamie Stewart surprise every time they come up with new music. Also with Ignore Grief, already their
13th full length, XX impress mightily.
(Press photo)
Ignore Grief is not happy music, it’s grim reality music, it’s mind-boggling music.
Inventive, capricious and ideal as the soundtrack for one of David Lynch‘s hallucinatory films. Although after a couple of spins, you’ll find out that Xiu Xiu‘s spellbinding sonic exorcism is more accessible than you thought at first. Their orchestral manoeuvres in
the dark are flabbergasting.

6. ‘One Man Band’ by MILES KANE (UK)
British retro-mod rocker Miles Kane, half of The Last Shadow Puppets
(the other half being his great friend and Arctic Monkeys’ maestro Alex Turner)
released his 5th LP, titled One Man Band’ last summer.
As he said himself multiple times Kane loves the swinging 60s/70s pop, rock
and soul splendor. So again, you hear here those flamboyant influences from the past. And he always comes up with upbeat tunes that stick and put a big smile on your face. Guitar pop at its cacthing best.

7. ‘Songs Of Silence’ by VINCE CLARKE (UK)
The synth-pop musician/songwriter who started his career with Depeche Mode,
who he left after their 1981 debut album to form Yazoo (1981–1983, 2008-2011)
with grand voice Alison Moyet and later on he started Erasure with singer/songwriter
Andy Bell launched his solo debut LP with Songs Of Silence.
TUTV: If you don’t pay attention to the author of this record when you’re listening
to it, there’s a great chance that you think that it’s another ambient Brian Eno album.
The relaxing ambient atmospheres Clarke creates (Cathedral / Passage / Imminent / Last Transmission) are similar to the ones Eno composes/composed (29 solo LPs, so far).
Clarke paints synth-scapes with an overall symphonic sonority, with both classical
and futuristic sounscapes. This is the sort of cosmic music that calms me down after a busy day. Its relaxing effect soothes my buzzing mind. Tranquillizing, instrumental (except for Blackleg which is infused with eerie chants) uncomplicatedness for dark winter nights.
Silent majesty.
Sonic ear-massage.

8. ‘God Games’ by THE KILLS (US/UK)
Seasoned blues-rock duo THE KILLS – Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince – are finally back with a new longplayer, their first in 7 years, following the swirling Ash & Ice album in 2016.
(Photo by Turn Up The Volume – Amsterdam, 2016)
God Games features fewer fireworks than on previous LPs, but the pair still move and groove with sonic fervour and melodramatic tunes, as we know them. Sultry, delirious and passional.
When Mosshart sings the blues, her heart-and-soul vocality draws all attention. Her tantalizing timbre and her midnight hour tone combined with Hince‘s edgy riffs and roasting hooks are what made me a Kills fan from day 1.
This 12-track record is a slow grower. Take your time, it’s all worth it.

9. ‘Praise Of The Iconoclast’ by MORLOCKS (Sweden)
Swedish post-punk-Goth turbo MORLOCKS were formed last century by mastermind J.Strauss, and had several line-ups over the years. The trio operate around the borderlines between the collective subconscious, paradoxical multiverses and the bad conscience of the world, as we know it.
They travel either like sinister prowlers through the shadows, or like a raging
bulldozer, sneaking and bolting through and between the Cold War, radioactive wastelands, the catacombs of Rome and unspeakable dimensions beyond
the Unknown Kadath.
They care about humanity, they haunt everybody who doesn’t care, and they
embed their anger, frustration and hope in titanic, intimidating and cast iron
industrial bombast with loud and clear messages. Think Rammstein and NIN
having a sonic fight with riot guns. Doomsday is just around the corner and is
orchestrated by Morlocks.

The L.A. garage rock fury led by vocalist/guitarist/organist and natural-born
charismatic front-Amazon Bonnie Bloomgarden triumphed with their 5th LP
this year.
(Photo by Turn Up The Volume – Brussels, 2023)
Islands In The Sky is, without a shadow of a doubt, according to my trained ears, their
best achievement (so far). When you combine pop/rock songwriting quality, richly layered orchestrations, Bloomgarden‘s full-hearted vocal dynamism and tons of tunes (if anything else tunes are key) wrapped up in party-igniting vibes, you have a winner.

11. ‘Good Busy’ by THE IRRATIONAL LIBRARY (The Netherlands)
Dutch humanistic rock unit The Irrational Library is a pretty special affair.
A band with its roots firmly planted in both the regional and international
counterculture. They produce a raw, dirty groove influenced by punk,
provo, punk icons and spiced with sultry saxophone here and there.
Their poetry is packed with social criticism. They drew my ears’ attention with their 2021 album We Are… Doomed. An open-minded-plainspoken-asskicking-anti-establishement-and-other-scumbags opus.
The same biting spirit is present on their brand new full-length GOOD BUSY. Moody reveries and blasting belters alternate creating an overall stirring/roaring record in the end with, once again, a main role for highly dedicated and caring America-born frontman-punk-rapper-poet-storyteller Joshua Baumgarten.

12. ‘The Crack And The Light’ by CMON CMON (Belgium)
Belgian guitar pop/rock band CMON CMON started their second coming
about two years ago, driven by sheer love for music. Writing it, recording it,
sharing it, playing it live, and enjoying it along with their fans.
No masterplan whatsoever to conquer the world, no commercial pressure.
They restarted with one and only one goal. Making the best album their
experience and their hearts and souls could come up with.
A balanced mix of amplified guitar-infused dream pop tunes with a melancholic
and soothing touch. References? R.E.M, Dinosaur Jr., Teenage Fanclub, Sparklehorse
and The Chills, to name a few. I’m sure you get the sonic picture.

13. ‘A Headlong Fall Into The Vast Ocean Of Anxiety’ by EYEMOUTH (Sweden)
Expect atmospheric synth-scapes for soundtracks of sci-fi movies, mellow Pink Floyd echoes, dark-electro-wave surrealism, and an overall synth-symphonic sonority.
All mesmerizingly orchestrated with both classical and venturesome music structures. Now and then composer Marcus Lilja‘s ghostly voice adds an extra mysterious touch to
the instrumental grandeur at play. The power of nature in selectronic motion. Cinematic music that triggers your imagination.

14. ‘Back In The Room’ by THE DHARMA VIOLETS (Wales)
THDV embed 60s psychedelia in a blistering mix of flaming garage rock mania,
swaggering mid-tempo grooves, an impressive, amplified slo-mo jam right in the middle and a stunning opener with horns snippets of Primal Scream‘s e-tastic classic Loaded.
Overall I hear Beatles-like harmonies, multi-layered guitar extravaganza à la Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, steady drums/bass horsepower, sizzling six-string solos, psyched-out space steamrollers, 24 Karat riff-rushing rockers, some slow ones, and echoing vocals
from the eight miles high past. Final result: a hell of a must-hear record that I added to
my best-albums-of-2023 list. The Dharma Violets should be huge. FACT! Don’t miss them.

15. ‘Secret Life’ by FRED AGAIN… and BRIAN ENO
Weird collaboration? No, certainly not. The very popular EBM/house/hip-hop/DJ Fred and the legendary ambient wizard Brian Eno complete each other here perfectly. They create a sonic labyrinth where Eno‘s hallucinatory ambient waves progress in slow motion, causing a trance trip in a foggy environment while Fred‘s phantasmal vocals seem to come from an unknown universe.
Secret Life is a hushed, soothing companion for late-night mind entertainment after
another busy day and too much noisy music. Soothing, calming and triggering lazy dreaming.

It’s a tremendously varied work. They jump from zestful hip-rap-hop to forceful

gospel. 54 minutes long, but you get sucked in every second. Wowzers!

last summer.

Be ready for a tsunami of Molotov cocktails, punk-o-rama riffage, and yell-along
refrains spit out by primal screamer Pele. No rest for the wicked. Beware, this explosive record can damage your speakers. On the other hand, it’s the ideal soundtrack for banging your poor head against the kitchen wall and/or jumping up and down like a kangaroo on ecstasy.
Alert your neighbours before you start the deafening razzmatazz
and watch out for the anti-decibels police. Lots of LOUD fun.

19. ‘This Stupid World’ by YO LA TENGO (US)
Yo la Tengo is all things indie. They follow their own capricious path, for almost
40 years now. They create uncomplicated melodies and then give them an edgy touch
that guides them in different directions. From acoustic to electric and back.
Different moods, different sonic tones. It’s old news that we live in a stupid world where political me, myself, and I leaders use the 2000-year-old trick of divide and conquer. YLT know too, of course, but reality as it is, obviously inspired them to make another rad record.

Expect Krautrock dynamics with an acoustic guitar and a mellow cello. Song by song,

The sassy spirit of fiery Riot grrls, the primal screams of X-Ray Spex‘s late genial vox Poly Styrene, the unbridled DIY mentality of The Slits. It’s all here to get in the macho faces of all macho males. Lads Lads Lads is a loud and clear clamorous uppercut. Trash and slash punk turmoil. Holy fucking smoke!

“The lyrics were related to whatever we were talking shit about that day.
Dirt-cheap ’baccy and annoying, invasive TikToks. It’s hard to recall.”
Riverstone is an excessive electro-industrial sledgehammer doing your head,
your ears and your mind in. Bang-bang-bang-bang. Deafening drones, psychotic
guitars, and schizophrenic vocals, it’s all here to have an electric brain-frying
chair experience.
Right here.

4. ‘Just Shadows’ by JEEN (Canada)
All-round Canadian singer/songwriter nailed it with this efferscent swirling knockout.
This is the kind of 24-Carat gold banger that makes your day, that boosts your worried state of mind, that puts a big smile on your face, that works faster than any stimulant and most of all, that gets you on your feet, triggers your best rotating dance moves and make you embrace life. Reality is not all doom and gloom, as many (mostly politicians) want us to believe to push their own power-greedy agenda. To hell with them.

These vigorous Brits hit big time with this flamboyant ripsnorter.
It’s full tilt ahead from the get-go. No brakes, no breaks, and
creeping under your skin faster than you can say this is super-duper.
A whirlwind of scorching guitars, pounding drumming, a revolving bass line
somewhere in the middle, go-getting vocals and a dynamite chorus combine
for a badass belter. 2023 was the year for 32 Tens.

Kane: “I was eight years old when I first saw Baggio on TV, it was during the
1994 World Cup. I was taken back by his presence, his look and his talent. It was
the first time I’d seen a man look so different and unique. Seeing Baggio led me to
e obsessed with that Italian football team for many years later.
Baggio is one of those typical Kane tunes. Immediately recognisable with its
uplifting 60s/70s beat and blissful melody. But it’s a glorious guitar fragment
and accompanying harmonious, backing vocals that lift the song to a five-star
pop level.

Andy Bell (Ride/Oasis) and drummer Zak Starkey, yes Ringo’s son, who actually came up with this project’s idea and describes it as “a fantastic psychedelic groove from a band of misfits, outsiders and innovators.”
First single Gorilla Guerilla is a mind-boggling techno-rock stomper

Single Dicks In Tanks features vocal efforts from Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM,
dark ambient electro queen Karin My and black metal maestro Heljarmadr

Morlocks‘ cynical take on war is sharp-cutting like a first-class Swiss knife
“Salute every hard on, a call to arms / this is my klaxon / sound the alarms”.
It all starts with warning war sirens and marching soldiers chants.
90 seconds later, it’s all hens on deck when this industrial rock missile

This blitz duo – J. Christopher-Rome (lyrics/vocals) and Christopher Moncrieffe (music/instruments) mix post-punk, early 80’s goth, shoegaze, and new wave
into their own brand of sound.
An Individual Soul is a multi-layered serpent of a track.
After a short shock intro, psychobilly guitars take over and riff
and roll all the way through, surrounded by glowing synths waves.
Add Christopher-Rome’s creepy whispering and you’ll feel transported
somewhere into a twilight zone where Goths party. Princess Ugly’s ominous

Huevos Rancheros, from their new longplayer Good Busy is a song about
seeing life clearly through all the haze and confidently strolling through the
daze.
It’s a tremendously sticky and melodic tune that mesmerises from the kick-off.
Stimulated by a sparkling and melancholic guitar riff à la Kurt Vile, a footstompin’
beat and word-smith Joshua Baumgarten‘s expressive storytelling it becomes an
electrifying humdinger, after a couple of spins.

It’s only their 3rd single, but this young team sounds as if they’ve been

Chic Choc are three musically seasoned Amazons from NYC using drum machines,

Freedom is their crystal clear debut single that criticizes, 200% rightly so, the fact that women still have to fight for so many fundamental rights. It’s bloody 2023 and so much female injustice is still a reality.
Sonically it’s a striking EBM earworm to fill dance floors with. Brisk beats, cool chorus, sensuous vocals and a protesting choir, combine for a spirited piece. Bang-on.

All accompanied by eccentric visuals.
‘Eureka!’ was one of the standout singles on their debut album, named

Combine the madcap vibrancy of Sparks‘ early days and some glamourous
Queen bombast and you’ll scream out loud Eureka!. These misfits produce

Heart On was one of the singles of their notable debut album World’s End.
It just was the best 2023 Valentine tune. An intoxicating mid-tempo groover. Both spicy and funky, lustful and provocative with hypnotizing vocals. Its slow-mo synth-bass beat crawls under your skin, and progresses steadily towards your restlessly pounding motor while your mind tries to figure out what is going on. Amorous communication isn’t easy, let your heart do the talking. It’s made for it.

bulldozer, sneaking and bolting through and between the Cold War, radioactive wastelands, the catacombs of Rome and unspeakable dimensions beyond
the Unknown Kadath.
Morlocks released their new jawdropping album PRAISE THE ICONOCLAST
last October. A call to arms. A call for action before our messed-up world
destroys itself.
Commander-in-chief, and cultural warrior J. Strauss will tell us anyting you need
to know about his band and the new LP. But first, as usual, we start and interview
with a slice of music.
Get your ears ready the longplayers’ standout haymaker Dicks In Tanks.
Hello,
thank you for taking
the time for this chat
When/how did MORLOCKS start their journey?
“Unclear. A project with that name and me in it started out in the early 90’s,
but apart from that there are no similarities with the band of today.
We’ve put ourselves on ice several times and spend dormant years on hiatus, had several changes of lineup and didn’t even decide what sound to aim for until ten years ago. It’s a totally different ensemble these days, with a different mission – and I am happy that we found our voice, sound and goal now and not before.”
Which track would you play to people who never heard of you?
“That would be Mean World Syndrome. It sort of embodies the whole concept: catchy tunes, male/female vocals, heavy riffing, perky synth sounds, orchestral parts and lyrics that kicks you in the groin, yet something you want to sing along with.”
.
The brand new album is titled PRAISE THE ICONOCLAST.
What do you want to express with that title?
“Let’s just say it’s a call to arms and an instigation to start fuck things up. We need more cultural warriors who can challenge the conservatives, the fundamentalists, the greedy banksters, the sexist scum, the corrupt preachers, the reactionairies, the warmongers,
and every other numbskull who has no problems to destroy absolutely anything as long
as there is some personal gain in the process.
Desecrating symbols is a great way to start, because if you do it right you may rip the system to shreds without spilling any blood. Or, so we would like it to be. It isn’t though, alas. But you have to start somewhere.”
The album’s cover is impressively creepy. What do you
want to visualise with that image?
“The cover itself illustrates the concept of the album! Not too far into the future, or maybe today, a little nameless guy is living in constant frustration, fear and anger, while being meticulously monitored by the powers that be – i.e, the market forces, politicians and people with big guns (mostly one and the same people these days) who will literally walk over corpses to maximize profit and control.
Consume, conform, obey! It’s a big oil painting done by a very talented
friend of ours who only needed to listen to the songs. The guy knows more
about bleak, dystopian sci-fi and cyberpunk than we do, and that is certainly
not common.”
The opening track ‘Naš Tretji Uvod’ (Our Third Introduction) is like the calm before the storm and resonates at times a bit like the soundtrack of classic western ‘Once Upon A Time In The West’. What effect, sonically, did you want to obtain here?
“Precisely that! A cinematic mainframe has always been important to us. We tell stories, sometimes intertwined, sometimes stand alone, but yet somehow connected – so it only comes natural to think in movie terms. If we had the resources, we’d go for matching visuals as well (and we will, when the stars are right).
We wouldn’t mind making our very own “The Wall” one day, so to speak. Also, movie soundtracks have always been a huge musical inspiration. Those tunes can really set the atmosphere without any lyrics needed, so it’s a great tool to emphasize the settings and environment for the message.”
.
To my ears, the album’s sonority is intimidating, aggressive
and combative. Did you want to make a record to get to war with?
“Indeed. We consider ourselves cultural warriors, and our weapons of choice are kick ass riffs, heavy synthetic waveforms and bombastic epicness combined with lyrics that are part angry punk and part sophisticated academic fuckery and part outlandish literature.
We sort of come from those worlds, all of us, and we are equally comfortable in a condemned squat, drinking moonshine, as we are in the dusty corridors of a university
or in a conference room of some sassy media outlet.
But yeah, we are inherently anti-violent as such, and prefer to go to war with audio, imagery and poetry. Not only the pen is mightier than the sword, but also guitar strings. And swords are not good for anything these days anyway. So there is that.”
Who’s the enemy?
“The ignorant! Or to be precise, the ignorant who also are in power.
Those who are deliberately uniformed, or they know but simply don’t
care because they are more about power and money than the future
existence of the planet.”
How are politics in Sweden?
“One word: Polarized. Regardless of where you stand, the people in charge are more interested in name calling, excuses and blaming each other than doing what we pay
them for. There is also a lot of really unpleasant extremism growing in the shadows, both politically and religious.
Our representatives in the parliament are obviously not fit to deal with all this, so we are not too positive about the future. But then again, this is happening all over Europe too, so we’re not unique in that regard.”
The album features lots of female vocals. Who’s the spellbinding voice?
“Most of it is our very own Lamashtu, also on the electric bass, but the lead on The Golden Goddess is guest vocals from the Swedish ambient pop star Karin My, an old friend and very talented artist. Check her out!”
How did you compose the titanic orchestration of the LP?
“We are all classically trained musicians, and I (Strauss) played the trumpet for years in my youth, both big band jazz and symphony orchestras. That’s where I learned most my skills as a musician, rather than the more common path of most rock artists. I did not spend my teens in a rehearsal room, but an orchestral ditch, reading score sheets and such fancy stuff.
I was always a fan of really epic orchestrations, and when I heard Laibach the first time in the late 80’s, I was totally blown away. I knew that I wanted to do something like that… well, we found our own sound instead, but without them, we wouldn’t be here today. Either way, it took a while before the technology caught up, but the sample banks of today really do the trick. It still takes a huge effort to arrange it into a plausible orchestral sound, but I do believe I have the background and experience for it.
I worked with musicals for a couple of years, which was insanely educational, and I was also one of the producers behind Alphaville’s recent classical tour. The latter was the very first time a real, proper orchestra performed my work, and even if our samples banks are amazingly good, that certainly was something extra.”
Suppose the album was the soundtrack of a movie. Which one would it be?
“A yet unmade crossover between Blade Runner, Mad Max and Alien, written by Robert Anton Wilson and H.P Lovecraft, produced by David Cronenberg, designed by Fritz Lang
and directed by David Lynch. Starring Humprey Bogart and Michelle Yeoh.
MORLOCKS’ New Year’s wishes?
“Peace on Earth, the reintroduction of the space race, the news that the last idiot has been born and that the US authorities will hurry up with our Visa applications so we can do the US tour we’ve been invited to.”
Thank your for this interview.
May the road rise with Morlocks.

TRACK-BY-TRACK
1. ‘Crystal Closet Queen’ by PIXIES (Boston, US)
(Photo by Turn Up The Volume)
To celebrate the late genial, eccentric-looking, allround musician Leon Russell,
a 10-track tribute album came out last week, titled A Song For Leon.
Boston’s noise icons Pixies also feature on the LP with their blustering version
of Russell‘s 1971 classic boogie woogie cracker Crystal Closet Queen, which
Black Francis and Co turned into a classic boogie woogie punk cracker.
Dynamite.

2. ‘Dick In Thanks’ by MORLOCKS (Sweden)
2023 photo by Krichan Wihlbor
Dick in Tanks will feature on the band’s forthcoming
album Praise The Iconoclast, out 6 October via
Metropolis Records
It all starts with warning war sirens, marching soldiers chants.
90 seconds later, it’s all hens on deck when this industrial rock
missile erupts with a blitzkrieg fierceness.
Think Rammstein and NIN having a fight with riot guns. Menacing growls and howls suggest imminent danger and when the clamorous chorus crashes in, it’s time to
go to the battlefield. Midway, all need a breather in order to put fuel in the tank and continue the supersonic attacks will all burners on. War can be fun, in case Morlocks
lead the troops.
Jump in your own tank
and kick dicks’ asses.

3. ‘Eureka!’ by THE VANITY PROJECT (London)
This queer art-pop duo launch their debut longplayer named
Never Should Have Come Here, next week, on September 29.
Eureka! is the third shared piece from the album.
It combines the madcap vibrancy of Sparks‘ early days and some flipped-out
Queen bombast. The Vanity Project produce eccentric pop pleasure, sonically
and lyrically, without mainstream restrictions.
They sound kooky and look kooky, but make no mistake, this tantalizing tandem
know perfectly well how to fabricate and construct high-freak-quality entertainment.
Bring on the album.
Eureka!

4. ‘I Want More’ by XTR HUMAN (Germany)
XTR HUMAN is the solo project of German artist Johannes Stabel.
So far he recorded/released 3 albums. Check them out here.
Now he has a new single out, titled I Want More. An EBM brainbreaker that makes
your head spin uncontrollably. An electronic gloom and doom hammer blow to smash
capitalist pigs with.
The accompanying video, directed by German filmmaker
Matthias Landenberger, is an eye-catching spectacle.
Listen/watch.

5. ‘Better Than Life’ by GRRL GANG (Indonesia)
Last week this young, most exciting Indonesian trio unleashed their ablaze debut album, baptized Spunky! More about it in an upcoming interview with Turn Up The Volume.
One of the standout tracks is Better Than Life.
Angeeta Sentana (vocalist/songwriter): “Being diagnosed with any mental disorder is
not a nice thing to have. I’m still in the process of accepting it as a ‘normal’ part of my life,
but there are times when I would feel super down about it.”
Better Than Life races and rushes for 90 seconds with all engines on. Its razzle-dazzle tempo makes you dizzy, while angry guitars and scary screams in the back have the
force to kick evil demons into oblivion.
Stroke!

6. ‘Making Me Mad’ by JEEN (Canada)
Canadian rockin’ songstress Jeen‘s sassy single will feature on her new,
5th full length, titled Gold Control, coming our way in February 2024.
Making Me Mad is a mid-tempo burst going up and down, swinging your mood from left to right and back, while you ask yourself if the mind-crushing demons will still haunt you in the end. Human nature stuff, as we know it. I swear I can hear the young out-of-her-head Courtney Love in the back.
Press play.

7. ‘Danse Macabre’ by DURAN DURAN (UK)
Glam and glitter legends DURAN DURAN have no intention whatsoever to retire.
They canned album number 16, baptized DANCE MACABRE and they will share it
with the world on 27 October.
Danse Macabre is a funky/groovy earworm that combines Goth, psych-o-tic darkwave,
and some hip-rap-hop fragments. Ace. This year’s Halloween will be different, Duran Duran are different, it will be a horror-tastic party.
Here’s why.

8. ‘103’ by THE KILLS (US/UK)
(Photo by Turn Up The Volume)
It’s been 7 years since iconic blues-rock duo THE KILLS – Alison Mosshart
and Jamie Hince – had their last longplayer out with the first-rate Ash & Ice.
Until a couple of weeks ago when the charismatic tandem announced
the launch of their 6th LP. It’s titled GOD GAMES and comes our
way on 27 October.
The tantalizing tandem already shared three cuts from the longplayer.
I’ll go with 103.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
9. ‘Love And Misery’ by DEAD LEVEE (Canada)
These manic motherrockers are all about raw and rough, rip-roaring racket as they let your stereo experience once again with this mend-bending riff monster. Think Metallica covering Guns N’ Roses. Thundering drums, crazed wah-wah guitars, hell-raising vocals, and a slam-bang, scream-along chorus. All ingredients you need to get up, stand up and fight for your right to be a hedonist.
Let’s rock.
.

10. ‘Down’ by pMAD
The moniker of Irish musician Paul Dillon
featured here on TUTV several times before.
He just revealed his new turbulent 4-track EP Sword.
Stream/buy it here.
My favorite piece is Down.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil that arises when personal safety and self-worth are threatened, reminding us that until we confront these issues, the cycle of suffering will persist. However, with the power of self-reflection and a realisation of life’s value, one can choose to break free from the cycle and reclaim their self-esteem and identity.
Down is an ardent bona fide punk-rock ripper going
full steam forward with all sonic cylinders on.
Listen up.

11. ‘Heartbreak Kid’ by THE VACCINES (UK)
(Press photo)
The celebrated British indie rockers prepare for the launch
of their 6th LP, titled ‘Pick-Up Full Of Pink Carnations’.
And here’s the lead single.
A vaccination that boosts your mood immediately.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
12. ‘Fade Out The Fear’ by EWAN MaCFARLANE (Scotland)
As I read firstly that the song’s theme was about fighting mental illness
I could relate before I heard it, as I struggled with bipolar problems myself for
years. It’s a drag that messes up your life in a hard-to-explain way. Always good
to hear emboldening music that arouses hope for everybody out there who experienced/experience those burdensome feelings.
Ewan Macfarlane‘s mighty voice is the star on this wholehearted Springsteen-esque
rocker. Americana ardency the Scottish way delivered with dedication, fervor and arousing electricity and when the loud and clear chorus hits your speakers it feels as if he wants to eliminate the fear with sonic assertiveness and confidence. Superb stuff.
Here we go.

13. ‘Somewhere’ by JOHNNY MARR (Manchester, UK)
SPIRIT POWER – THE BEST OF JOHNNY MARR will
be launched on 3 November. Pre-order info here.
The compilation will also feature this new guitar pop gem,
titled Somewhere. A sickly sticky tune that made my day
on the spot.
It’s a sickly sticky tune that made my day on the spot, which
happened/happens so many times with Marr‘s killer instinct
for thrilling tunes.
Here comes the messenger.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
14. ‘Don’t Do That’ by SHAW’S TRAILER PARK (Brighton, UK)
This Britsh alt.country/Paisley Underground-inspired collective
released their self-titled debut album last month. Stream it here.
The band’s roots are in the same North London rockabilly/country-noir
scene that gave us the likes of Gretschen Hofner, Gallon Drunk and
The Flaming Stars.
The standout album opener Don’t Do That is a riff-rotating roller
dominated by high-voltage guitar electricity with feverish vocals.
Let’s go.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
15. ‘A Feather Of A Pigeon In The Cave Of The Wisdom Of God’ by LIGHT BY THE SEA (The Netherlands)
Back in 2019, the Dutch duo released their notable debut
full-length ‘Only Death Makes Iocns’. Discover it here.
With this new piece, they deliver another intriguing pop symphony.
Scintillating electronic bliss, beautifully orchestrated.
The accompanying video is a classy and subtly sexy visualization.
Listen/watch.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
16. ‘Date Night’ by LOSSLINE (Manchester, UK)
Lossline is a Manchester-based singer/songwriter tandem who, as they state themselves, love to write sad songs. So far they filled two affecting albums with sad beauties. Check them out here.
To be honest I’m a sucker for heartfelt lullabies/ballads. And that’s a musical mood territory Lossline excell in, which they prove once more with Date Night. Although, sonically here they combine tranquil lullaby intimacy – mesmerising piano play and near-whispering vocals – with fully orchestrated passion, winning your heart over second by second.
Probably the best-ever Lossline piece. It should have been – no, I’m not joking – a bonus track on The National‘s new bewitching album First Two Pages Of Frankenstein. I’m sure you get the vibe at work here by now.
Pure pearl.

17. ‘Route 36’ by MORPHINE RIDGES (Berlin)
Morphine Ridges is a new liaison, based in Berlin, led by Andreas Miranda (Lucy Kruger
and the Lost Boys, Third Sound, Ex Camera) blends dark country riffs with lap steel
guitar sliding through the cracks of shadowy vocals.
Route 36 is a gloomy ballad for the twilight hours, when reality and fantasy
get together and your dusky thoughts float somewhere in the middle. It’s a murky
mind-wanderer, with vulnerable vocals and melancholic guitar lines, triggering
darksome images on your head’s inner screen.
But unexpectedly, near the end, you’re awakened from your hallucinatory
state of mind with a wall-of-flabbergasting-electrical disturbance leaving you
behind, totally puzzled. What a bone-chilling debut this is.

18. ‘Saccharine’ by TEEN IDLE (New Jersey, US)
Photo by Samantha Abdelbarry
Teen Idle is the musical project of New Jersey singer-songwriter,
producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sara Abdelbarry.
She shared her bittersweet debut album with the world today.
It’s named Nonfiction. Play it here.
For all lovers out there who realize that their relationship is over the LP’s opener Saccharine could serve as a comforting, mid-tempo synth-pop vibration that breathes hope for another future. After a smooth, Eastern-like-guitar-resonating intro a trippy bass riff and rhythmic drum touches take care of the song’s steady (heart)beat while Abdelbarry‘s crystal voice sounds sorrowful and reflective.
Somewhere in the middle, a heart-warming saxophone comes on (think of soul
diva Sade’s hits) and gives the song a matching melancholic feel that endears.
Lovely.

19. ‘One More Time’ by BLINK-182 (California)
Press photo
Californian veteran rockers BLINK-182 got
together with their classic line-up last year.
There’s no stopping them now. A new album is canned. It’s named
ONE MORE TIME… and will make the massive army of B-182 fans
go nuts on 20 October.
A candlelight ballad.
Melancholic, romantic and heartfelt. Millions of fans
around the globe will sing along with tears in their eyes.
Enjoy.

20. ‘Excommunicated’ by NOBODY (Finland)
Photo by Mikke Strandberg
Nobody is a one-man dark acoustic prog folk
rock act fronted by Tuomas Kauppinen.
Two weeks ago his new album, called Hyperborean Ecstasy
came out. Listen here.
Opening musing Excommunicated an introspective ‘I don’t belong here‘ reverie.
Think Nick Drake and Elliott Smith. Intimate and heavy-hearted accentuated
by his moody acoustic guitar play.
It’s a shadowy contemplation for quiet
moments when melancholia hits you.
Stream/buy.

Band: MORLOCKS
Who: Swedish turbo founded last Century by mastermind J.Strauss, having several line-ups over the years. They operate around the borderlines between the collective subconscious, paradoxical multiverses and the bad conscience of the world (as we know it). They travel either like sinister prowlers through the shadows, or like a raging bulldozer, sneaking and bolting through and between the Cold War, radioactive wastelands, the catacombs of Rome and unspeakable dimensions beyond the Unknown Kadath.
Album trailer
New album: PRAISE THE ICONOCLAST
Out on 6 October via Metropolis Records.
Pre-order info here.
Single: DICKS IN TANKS
With guest vocal appearances from Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM, dark ambient
electro queen Karin My and black metal maestro Heljarmadr of Grá/Dark Funeral.
TUTV: War can be fun, well with Morlocks‘ cynical take on it that is.
Salute every hard on, a call to arms / this is my klaxon / sound the alarms.
Dicks In Tanks starts with warning war sirens, marching soldiers chants.
90 seconds later, it’s all hens on deck when this industrial rock missile
erupts with a blitzkrieg fierceness.

Midway, all need a breather in order to put fuel in the tank and continue the supersonic attacks will all burners on. War can be fun, in case Morlocks lead the troops.
Beat and defeat
Watch out for the mines
Penetrate the defensive lines
Swords for the hordes
Every member deployed
Cherish the joy to destroy
Jump in your own tank
and kick dicks’ asses.
