The 10 new ones added this week

TRACK-BY-TRACK

Band: CHOSES SAUVAGES
Who: French-language post-punk outfit from Montréal, CA. They carved themselves their own niche with their brand of dance-punk. They have 2 albums on their résumé, so far.

Track: EN JOUE

With this single the group lean little more into classic new-wave territory
while addressing the frustrations evoked by political injustice and the media.

Félix Bélisle (frontman): ‘The song refers to the feeling of helplessness faced by the extremely violent international news from recent years. It also deals with the dehumanization of certain populations taken hostage in armed conflicts and the fear of others.”

Talking Heads meet Gang Of Four. Funky bass/drum-motorized
and guitar-sparkling stroke with some eerie synth moments.

Piece remarquable.

Band: RATS
Who: Liverpool team active since the latter stages of the last decade, the band,
led by singer and lyricist, Joe Maddocks, have developed no small reputation for uncompromising social statements coupled with no little humour.

Track: SECTION 60

Joe Maddocks: ”Section 60 means a form of policing where a whole neighborhood is persecuted because of the actions of a few. I was riding home from the studio one night
and was stopped by the police, leading to my anatomy being violated for no reason other
than riding a bicycle. In the cycle lane too. This song isn’t having a go at the police, but the
legislation.

Irrisitible vibe with an instant impact on
your body movements. Get up and bounce
around like a kangaroo on dope.

Band: DEXTERITY
Who: Up-and-coming alt/prog rock group, fronted by Sarah Dexter, merging inspirations from progressive metal with alternative rock. Dexterity emphasizes how unconventional rhythms and song structure can appeal naturally to the listener by combining those aspects with flowing melodies and grooves you can dance to.

Track: VESSEL

Sarah: “There can be constant turmoil for people who exist outside rigid gender/sexuality binaries. Transitioning in terms of name and hormones and label is a journey, and it all
takes a while. But I knew presenting femme, as my true self, had to happen. I changed the Vessel and the Vessel changed me, and everything else followed in its own time.”

Wayward forth-and-back trip juiced with jumpy guitars

Artist: SHARON VAN ETTEN & THE ATTACHMENT THEORY
Who: The reknowed brooklyn-based songstress who credits
her band for the first time.

“For the first time in my life I asked the band if we could just jam. Words that have
never come out of my mouth – ever! But I loved all the sounds we were getting. I was
curious – what would happen? In an hour we wrote two songs that ended up becoming
“I Can’t Imagine” and “Southern Life.”

Track: SOUTHERN LIFE (WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE)
Preview from the upcoming, self-titled LP, out on
7 February 2025.

Feverish, fetching, and hypnotizing atmospherics.

Band: THE ANSELLS
Who: 3 indies from Birmingham.

Track: WINNER STAYS ON

“Winner Stays On encapsulates what we’re about as a band, it combines a side of non-stop energetic rock with more melodic and thoughtful lyricism. We believe it’s got The Ansells’ sound which we’re working towards. We hope it will introduce us to new fans as we have plenty more where that came from. We’re only just getting started.”

Stirring indie guitar Brit-pop
tune that sticks after one spin.

Who: British singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist
who played in different bands before following his own
path.

Track: CRACKING THE FLACKS
​
Briley: “It was the first time a woman had ever brought me a drink – she asked how
old I was and immediately bolted. ‘I don’t know what the weather was doing in Bradford
on my 19th birthday, but it’s a metaphor for the exuberance of youth, chasing your dreams.”

Special experience wrapped in an infectious
melody flavored with emotive vocals.

Band: CLOAKROOM Q.
Who: Irish indies who started in 2016. The group has been through many iterations.
They have a keen common desire to explore their creative abilities without limitations, the 4 piece have been working together for years to reach a “Halfway point between Roxy Music and Death Grips.”

Single: NAIL IN YOUR HEAD

“A three-and-a-half-minute track that leaves no stone unturned during their exploration
of ideas, as they veer and sway between lounge act and heavy metal apocalypse. It’s the sound of the band that plays at the Overlook Hotel as Jack Nicholson gets served by the best bar man from the netherworld. Mike Patton’s favourite band he’s yet to hear.”

Both intriguing and capricious thrill throwing
you forth and back. Fascinating stroke.
