Artwork single designed by the artist Mirkow Gastow

Band: GRAMMA VEDETTA
Who: Herculean rockers from London. Their trademark sound is characterised
by lo-tuned big riffs over rumbling grooves, topped by viral melodies.

Single/video: SPACE FARMER

“The lyrics raise questions about how we deal with life’s challenges. The ‘Space Farmer’ offers an escape, a way to rise above the usual and explore new perspectives. As the song progresses, it tackles themes of liberation, the perception of truth, and the illusions we live by. The recurring line, “Space Farmer grows what works for you,” encapsulates the idea that the Space Farmer can provide tailored solutions for life’s challenges. Space Farmer is an interstellar odyssey that beckons its audience, promising a journey filled with wonder, inspiration, and a voyage to the farthest reaches of the cosmos.”

Gramma Vedetta about the video: “Let us give you a behind-the-scenes peek into the creation of the video. We wanted to make something truly mind-blowing, so we turned
to the excellent website/service called Plazmapunk. They use the StableDiffusion model
to stitch together a sequence of AI-generated images seamlessly. We fed the model with
the song itself, allowing it to extract the speed and timing of the visuals.”

TUTV: Gramma Vedetta bring you a spectacle for ears and eyes. Space Farmer
is a stoner rock turbocharger refuelling its engine midway. Think space rock
legends Hawkind fronted by madman Ozzy Osbourne. I don’t know if mushrooms
inspired the creation of the single’s artwork. Anyway, no rest for the wicked.

Get the LOUD picture?

DJANGO DJANGO Share Racing Video For Adrenalin Booster ‘SLIPSTREAM’ From Their New Longplayer

Eye-catching clips

(DD Press)

British synth-pop act DJANGO DJANGO reelased their 5th LP, named OFF PLANET.

A concept album, with each of its four parts representing a planet. A swirling record filled with multiple dance thrills, enough to have 24-hour summer parties on the planet of your choice.

UNCUT magazine said: “There’s no denying that this is the band’s
most accomplished and ambitious record to date.” Score: 8/10.

Just now DD shared a razzle-dazzle video for SLIPSTREAM,
a terrific hip-activating booster that doubles your adrenalin
production.

The clip is directed by Daniel Nellis.

DD: “The lyrics are a bit of an ode to watching the Tour de France with Pete Shelley’s signature track playing as a kid. We thought it would be fun to build upon that with the video, which sees Vinny (note: lead vocalist) being put through his paces, ramping up in speed until he breaks beyond reality”.

Jump on your bike.
The race must go on.

Canadian Celtic Warriors MUDMEN Rock Out On Their Jackhammer ‘FARMER’S TAN’

Posted on by JL

13 May 2023

Band: MUDMEN
Who: Celtic rockers from Alvinston, ON who
celebrate their 25th birthday as a group this year.

New single/clip: FARMER’S TAN.
The title track of their new album. Stream here.

The song is written by bandmembers Sandy and Robby Campbell in their
mother’s old farmhouse. It carries an inspirational message about friends,
family, community, and a strong work ethic.

“Our mom, Mary Dewar Campbell, is the one who inspired hard work and the one
who tried to raise us right. Still to this day, at 80 years old, she has a large garden
and gives vegetables to seniors in town and keeps her farm well maintained. She’s
a strong person and has likely never missed a day of work in her life.”

TUTV: The overwhelming drive, the emotive energy and the electrical rawk ‘n’ roll dynamism of Farmer’s Tan will make you move your furniture and jump like a kangaroo, from left to right and back. Think Weezer being a Celtic punk squad. If your limbs can
resist this bagpipes-infused jackhammer you need to consult your shrink.

The song’s corresponding music video features performances from three different festivals – the Western Fair in London, ON; The Kincardine Scottish Festival; and New Year’s
Eve in Ottawa, ON – as well as scenes of folks doing actual farming. It also includes heartwarming shots of fans rolling up their sleeves to “show your farmer’s tan,” which
the Mudmen often ask people do at their live shows.

Well, they raised us right, they made us strong,
and they taught us how to get along
That our roots are deep, and promises we keep,
and I’ll roll up my sleeves to show

Listen.
Watch.
Dance.

Posted on by JL

15 March 2023

Artist: BARA HARI (bah-rah hah-ree)
Who: Los Angeles-based DIY dark pop artist (born Sam Franco)

Hari‘s newest single HOUSE OF THE DEVIL is the third shared single from
her upcoming album Lesser Gods. The track tackles people who turn into
a villain after they quit fighting their demons.

House of Devil resonates as a symphonic pop choir chant with Hari in the middle.
In the video, she looks like a female Jesus Christ Superstar, but it seems she’s
a she-devil in disguise. It’s a stylish eye-catcher.

Experience The Doom And Gloom Vision Of Darkwave Artist LANA DEL RABIES On Her New Bone-Chilling Video

Posted on by JL

7 March 2023


Bette Davis’ eyes

Artist: LANA DEL RABIES
Who: The dark electronic, genre-bridging solo project of Phoenix-based
musician, producer and multimedia artist Sam An. So far she released
3 albums with a fourth one coming up. Hallowed Is The Earth

Track: HALLOWED IS THE EARTH
From the upcoming new LP, baptized STREGA BEATA,
out on 17 March. More info here.


The impressive new album artwork

TUTV: Humankind is in big trouble as we know it. Nothing is learned from the past
(wars, intolerance, nature and environmental destruction, and so on), and it looks like
too many people won’t change their devastating behavior in the future.

Hallowed Is The Earth is a “sonic elegy lamenting the wounded world.”

A sort of electronic, mournful procession moving toward oblivion. A slo-mo synth-injected funeral march that wouldn’t be out of place on a Xiu Xiu album and also echoes the sound-exploring quest of trip-hop legend Tricky. I’m sure David Lynch would be a fan too. By the way, am I the only one who thinks that Del Rabies eyes have that femme fatale glance of Betty Davis? Fascinating!

Lana Del Rabies, artist Louise Saafi and cinematographer M. Dean Bridges created a video
of rapid-eye-movement visuals of nature, alternated with hallucinatory images of Rabies. Harrowing, bone-chilling, and threatening like a nasty nightmare.

Roll the tape.

London‘s synth-dream-pop FERAL FIVE – Kat and Drew Five – released
their long-awaited debut LP TRUTH IS THE NEW GOLD last month.

“An evocative voyage through a Feraltropolis style future city, and an offering
of sonic elixir for heart, feet and mind. Leading us through secret spaces, changing
skies, personal truths and revelations, the Ferals glide seamlessly between bold
alt-pop, experimental electronica, and cinematic landscapes.”

Buy here.

Now, the Fives have an eye-catching video clip out for the album’s magnific title track.
A de-stressing, mid-tempo ambient tune with a heartening affect. Its smooth synth sparks, trance-inducing electro beats, combative guitars, and crystal vocals come all together in an easy-going and groovy way that creates a laidback feel for mind and soul.
