ALL TOGETHER


.
TRACK BY TRACK

– 1 –

Band: KASABIAN
Who: British star rockers from Leicester. One of the best bands
of the past 25 years on record and on stage, in my book.

Track: HIPPIE SUNSHINE.
Lead single from their forthcoming
9th LP. Details TBA.

TUTV: Expect a mega vitalizing, disco-charged haymaker.
Since co-founder/songwriter/frontman Serge Pizzorno pulls
all the band’s strings he provides dynamite tunes you can
throw 24-hour parties with.

Yoohoo.

Band: GURRIERS
Who: Post-punk upstarts from Ireland.
They released their debut LP Come And See
last year.

Track: ERASURE

TUTV: These young Irishmen punch left and right with puisssant post-punk panacherie.
Hit here, hit there, hit everywhere. Best thing about Erasure is, you can bounce like a ping pong ball to it. If its bang-up drive doesn’t make you go bonkers, I recommend to check your shrink. Pronto.

Band: SPRINTS
Who: Irish post-punk whirlwind, led by charismatic
voice/songwriter/guitarist Karla Chubb.

Track: BETTER
Along with Something’s Gonna Happen, my top fav track
on their brand new, second LP, called All That Is Over.

TUTV: Every time I play this pure punk-rock gem, I feel way better. Fact. No, it doesn’t
have that by now known Sprints quiet/Loud/quiet progression. It’s Better‘s striking swagger, superb groove, excited duet vocals, and infectious guitar play that make this one of the best cracking tunes they ever wrote. Hallelujah!

Band: BIKINI BEACH
Who: Three turbulent indies from Konstanz, Germany.
They released their boisterous 5th album Cursed last
February.

Track: BRAIN TILT

TUTV: This ferocious wham bam uppercut doubles your adrenaline production instantly. Loud, nasty, brutal and red-hot are the keywords. Roasting post-punk at its fieriest best. Titanic stroke. Hells bells!

The single comes with a video filled with live and tour footage, captured in the last
couple of months as the band is constantly on the road since the release of ‘Cursed‘.

TUTV: Lobsterbomb‘s passionate punk razzmatazz works like a nuclear magnet.
Their vigorous vivacity is infectious and Nico Rosch‘s piquant vocals perk up your
troubled mood. Move your furniture and start a solo mosphit.

Band: PINS
Who:
Power pop trio
from Manchester, UK

Track: I’LL BE YOURS
Their first new music since their
fab 2020 EBM album Hot Slick.

TUTV: Feel the funky bravado vibes. Move to the bootylicious groove,
surrounded by torching guitars. Swing yourself around the booming
beats. Hear the sensual vocals. Pump up the Pins jam. Welcome back.

Artists: PRINCESS UGLY
Who:J. Christopher-Rome and Christopher Moncrieffe – from Portland, OR
who are influenced by goth, post-punk, darkwave, and adjacent genres.
So far, the tandem has released two albums.

Track: THE OUT

“Even as the things we perceive as negative can sometimes light our way with an
unsettling brilliance, we look away. Tear it all up. Everyone is looking for their out.”

TUTV: Hypnotic beats. Limbs activating eurhythmics. Pounding bass drones.
The darkwave EBM duo strikes again with a nightclub killer. The Out has a 2025
doom and gloom vibe. The future isn’t predictable anymore. Let’s ignore its
demons for 200 seconds and dance. NOW.

Artist: BEDROOM JUNE
Who: Singer-songwriter from Hamburg, Germany who transforms personal fractures into delicate electronic pop songs that oscillate between vulnerability, alienation, and a quiet longing for closeness.

Track: DISTRACTED BY YOU
Piece from her New EP. It tells of inner vulnerability, the search for
connection, and small moments of clarity—all wrapped up in a warm,
electronic indie pop sound.

TUTV: Propelled by enrapturous bass reverberations, luminous synths and sultry vocals, this jagged jam takes you on a whirling ride. Trust me, you will be attracted, not distracted by this swift thrill. Startling stuff.

Artist: ROSIE STUART
Who: Restless Belgian singer-songwriter who writes raw songs
in stark contrasts: 100 percent black and white, with no room
for gray.

Track: VEGAN
Debut single from her
upcoming debut EP.

Rosie reveals her most vulnerable side, though an impenetrable wall shields her deepest longings. She carries an intense energy, is uncomfortably honest, and constantly balances between bravado and self-sabotage.”

TUTV: This exorcistic cry out gives you the creeps. Tension and danger in the air all
the way, fueled by Stuart‘s agitated vocals. No birds and bees here. Vegan resonates
like a wandering soul screaming in the darkness, hoping to get saved. Goosebumps.

Artist: ASSASUN
Who: Berlin-based dark-techno-wave artist
Alexander Donat (Vlimmer, Fir Cone Children, WHOLE)

“Sound-wise, you could imagine Assasun operates somewhere between irate Clipping, a parallel timeline of early Nine Inch Nails, and Sleaford Mods on a havocked, misanthropic hotel lobby techno party. In short: dense, raw, uncompromising.”

Track: POISONALAN
Opener from his 4th LP, named
Retrofate
. You can stream it here.

TUTV: I don’t how many hours Berlin has in a day, but I think it’s definitely more than in other countries as Alexander Donat‘s musical production with his 3 different projects is off the charts. Anyway, this dark-techno-wave stomper from his new LP is one to play out loud, while going berserk on a trampoline.

Band: LADYTRON
Who: British electro pop act, still with three of their original members, since 1999. Restarting now and then, they recorded/released 7 LPs so far with Time’s Arrow
from 2023 as the most recent one.

Track: I BELIEVE IN YOU

TUTV: It’s a new single shared without any further info,
but sources whisper that a new album is coming in the
near future.

Anyway, I Believe In You is an undisputable dancefloor thrill. Pounding percussion, bouncy and breezy synths, airy vocals, and a galvanic beat combine for a light-hearted pop gem.

featuring Valerie Rachel and Greg Lawrence.

Track: HARD WAY TO LIVE
Piece from their brand-new, notable debut

TUTV: Tune! Tune! Groove! Groove! Catchy! Catchy! Voice! Voice!
Infectious. Contagious. Sticky. Addictive. Magnetic. Mesmeric.

Artist: MILES KANE
Who: British mod vet
who started his voyage in 2004.

Track: WITHOUT YOU

Newest single from his 6th full-length, baptized
Sunlight In The Shadows ready for release
on October 17th.

He wrote all songs with blues rock tandem The Black Keys.

TUTV: Kane is a retro rocker/popper at heart. And he’s very good at it.
Here he offers some of Marc Bolan‘s T.Rex glam rock grooviness. Hot love,
indeed.

Band: LOVINA FALLS
Who: The dark dream-pop project of Boston-based singer-songwriter,
multi-instrumentalist, and producer Valerie Forgione. In 2023, they released
their debut album, Calculating The Angle Of Our Descent.

Track: ABOUT THE SUN
Piece from their brand-new 5-track EP
Would That I Were. Stream it here.

TUTV: The band swing your ears between a bewitching torch reverie
and a power pop melody. The process repeats itself a couple of times,
around Forgione‘s seductive voice. Riveting. Am I the only one who thinks
that Chris Isaak is on guitar here and there on the slow part? Well, that’s
what my ears tell me.

Artist: MR BILLY FRITZGERALD

WhoDublin-based singer-songwriter writing lush indie-pop songs that
simultaneously bathe in the faded light of heartbreak while pulling you
on to the dancefloor.

Track: YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE
Latest single from his debut album
A Grand Romantic Gesture,
released last February.

Billy tackles enduring a vicious break up, wading through the emotional
carnage that accompanies it and coming out the other side.”

TUTV: With his chirpy high-pitched voice, his jazzy swagger, and his songwriting
prowess, Fritzgerald takes you back to the 60s/70s for some Motown soul excitement. Sexual healing ambiance.

Artists: peach|melba
Who: Queer femme indie duo,
half Brighton and half Los Angeles.

Track: HAVE A LATTE
Their 4th of the year, more to come
every six weeks of the year.

pIm: “It’s a raucous anti-genocide anthem recorded and mixed by us and features our trademark duo vocals, oscillating between unsettling quiet and raucous chaos set to a Severance-costumed video, but filmed in a swimming pool, naturally.”

TUTV: This new drone sounds like a vintage, raw bass/drum pounding
uppercut from the late Steve Albini’s band Shellac. No arty-farty production,
nor special effects for these two punkettes. What you hear is what you get.

Have A Latte has a poignant, garage punk edge as if it were recorded in, eh,
a garage without tuning up the instruments. In the end, it’s the real, honest
sonic deal that matters.

Band: DOPAMINE FIX
Who: Fresh Irish indie duo who’s manifesto says a lot about them:
“With a nod to the Dadaists, we create Post Punk, Experimental and
Electronica which aims to unnerve, to disturb and to question.”

Track: WELCOME TO THE SHARKTANK
Debut single.

“The song erves as a record of how dysfunctional and broken our world is. This single is a soundtrack for the alienated and the awake, those treading water in a dystopia they never asked to enter.”

TUTV: Ominous tension hangs all over this feverish and foreboding psych jam incited
by angstful guitars. A sign of the times. Welcome To The Sharktank isn’t a song about the birds and the bees, it’s about today, about 2025 and the uncertain future. Anxious vocals amplify the inauspiciousness in the air and get out of control in the end. Scary reality as
we know it.

Artist: THURSTON MOORE
Who: The former Sonic Youth top dog.

Track: TEMPTATION INSIDE YOUR HEART

TUTV: The tireless Moore treats us with a cover of a song by
The Velvet Underground. Not a really famous one. It dates
back to 1968, but did come out much later, on a VU
compilation from 1985.

It’s a fooling around, riff-rotating VU ripper
spiced with Lou Reed‘s characteristic vocality.

Artists: BRIAN ENO and BEATIE WOLFE.
Who: The ambient sound wizard and the Anglo-American songstress.
They met for the first time in 2022 at the SXSW festival. The beginning of
a fertile musical collaboration.

Last June, they have released 2 dream-pop-wave LPs,
at the same time, titled Luminal and Lateral.

And a third one, named Liminal is waiting in
the pipeline to be released on October 10th.

Track: PART OF US
A piece from that upcoming
3rd longplayer.

Atmospheric, enchanting, and magnific
vocals by Wolfe. Heaven in motion.

5 BEST ALBUMS OF THE MONTH – January 2024

1 February 2024


Album artwork

Band: FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES
Who: The musical vehicle of British arousing
songsmith and tattoo artist Frank Carter.


Press photo

Album: DARK RAINBOW
Their 5th

TUTV: With tensely emotive singles Man Of The Hour and Brambles, tattoo artist Carter seemed to let his angry punk days behind him and move towards classic rock. Now the album confirms that surprising, bold move.

And it’s a truly staggering record, filled with several melodramatic power ballads that generate goosebumps and some stoner rock ebullitions. Carter sings his heart out with monumental vivaciousness. A vocal tour de force throughout, dealing with mixed love emotions. Dark Rainbow will impact your ears for a very long time. Top-tier achievement.

THE SMILE featuring two radioheads – Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood – and
drummer Tom Skinner — launched their new album WALL OF EYES, only 11 months
after their compelling debut A Light For Attracting Attention.


Press photo by Alex Lake

TUTV: With less pressure than that’s on that mega band called Radiohead, the pair
of Yorke and Greenwood seem to feel more at ease to do what they want to do without
any expectations whatsoever. Wall Of Eyes sounds less complex than the last Radiohead albums, but still echoes that band’s work here and there (Teleharmonic / Friend Of A Friend / I Quit). And Yorke‘s familair falsetto voice is omnipresent.

Then again, capricious tracks like Road The Room and Under Our Pillows resonate more directly and less polished than a lot of the multi-layered Radiohead symphonies as we know them. All that said, it really doesn’t matter if there are comparisons or not. What matters is that this record features (only) 8 paramount songs, 8 first-rate quality tunes,
8 mesmeric compositions.

Album Artwork

Band: WARM EXIT
Who: Experimental post-punk outfit from Brussels, Belgium. The band has been a driving force in its underground scene for 4 years. With only its founding member remaining, Valentino Sacchi, the band has gone through numerous mutations over the years

Album: ULTRA VIOLENCE

The album’s title is a reference to Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 brutal masterpiece
A Clockwork Orange. It marks a turning point in the band’s career. A vow to be confrontational to yourself, a rejection to being hesitant about one’s inner turmoil,
and to celebrate it. The music, and more importantly the band is driven by a tireless motivation that sources its energy from within; the good, the bad, the ugly. In short,
it’s human. Warts and all.

TUTV: You can feel a menacing tension in the vocals and in the piercing sonority throughout this record. Demons all around. No rest for the wicked. Anxious guitar riffage, spitting and sneering, maddening drumming, and roller coaster jams, fast-forward or in slo-mo, combine for a both nightmarish and blood-curdling experience. Post-punk at its jagged best. Dim the lights, put your headphones on, and try to find your way into your mind’s messy labyrinth.

Artist: HAZE (Ghent, Belgium)
Who: Musical project of Belgian singer-songwriter Mirabelle van de Put.
After years of playing bass and doing backing vocals with several bands
she decided to pursue her own dream pop journey.

New album: OUT OF SIGHT
Haze’s second one

TUTV: Three elements make this album special. Mirabelle‘s crystalline voice, from
near-whispering to playfully sensual, the guitar play, whether acoustic or electrical,
with or without reverb, has a magnetizing impact with its rotating riffs and the subtle
but richly layered arrangements of the songs create an organically dreamy sound.

Out Of Sight is a sonic companion for relaxing winter
nights and will be one for summer sundowns.

post-punk turbine.

Album: LETTER TO SELF
Order info: here.

TUTV: These Irish indies burst with tremendous vehemence and sharp-teethed gusto. Their high-voltage jackhammers trash and slash along their build-up/break-down course. Breathtaking hullabaloo.

Psychotic guitars, unrestrained bass/drum forcefulness, and Karla Chubb‘s borderline vocals combine for exorcistic flare-ups. At times, Chubb‘s unbridled intensity brings Courtney Love‘s maddening cry-outs to mind. As I said, breathtaking hullabaloo. And the cliché no fillers, all killers can’t be more accurate here.
