Scottish Dropouts HUMOUR Share Bizzare Video For Their Disaster Single ‘GOOD BOYS REMEMBER WELL’

Posted on by JL

New clips for your eager eyes

8 November 2022

Band: HUMOUR
Who: 5 eager Scots, 4 from Edinburgh, 1 from Perth,
now all making noise together in Glasgow.

New video/single: GOOD BOYS REMEMEBER WELL
Clip for the latest single of their upcoming 6-track debut EP,
named Pure Misery, out 25 November. Pre-order info here.

“This song’s about a really tragic submarine disaster Andreas (frontman) heard about
one day. He just lifts a bunch of particularly sad lines from Wikipedia about it rather than adding too much of his own perspective. I’ve always thought this was a cool thing about this song. It seems like he’s got a megaphone and is just sort of relentlessly listing facts and figures about the disaster in a desperate attempt to make you feel the way he did when he heard
about it.”

TUTV: Starts like a theme’s intro of a horror movie. Scratching guitars and uncanny murmur from the grave. A minute later frontman Andreas Christodoulidis sneers his
ranting report of, yes, a submarine going down, sounding helpless, agitated, and and hyperkinetic until a sudden end stops his broadcast. Das Boot is down now. This is not
a joke. It’s bizzare stuff with mind-bending progression for a disastrous story.

I dig baffling shit like this.

Roll the tape and be ready for some shockwaves…

GMBT LIFE With A Visual Impression Of ‘ALASKA MORNING SKIES’

Posted on by JL

Band: GmBt Life
Who: France-based trio from different countries, who live in diverse regions, and who routinely meet to play music. They like to begin with bare melodies and then improvise with various instruments and PCs.

They released a new, excellent, longplayer called 10 Minutes last April, with a mix
of tranquilizing piano-driven musings, cinematic reveries with spacey Pink Floyd-like reverberating here and there, and tender, ambient synth meditations.

And now we can enjoy a misty collage video for ALASKA MORNING SKIES,
one of the album’s highlights.

Band: WEIMAR (pronounced Vy-marr – nothing to do
with Germany’s former Weimar Republic I suppose)

Who: Eclectic progressive art-rock quartet formed in 2016 in
Manchester (UK). They produce a range of styles from post-punk roots
to no-wave, cabaret, chanson, jazz, funk, psychedelia, alternative folk
and gothic rock, coming together in a distinctive fusion.

The band have their Halloween moment too with a scary video for THE HANGERS-ON,
a grisly story off their excellent album Dancing On A Volcano, that came out last June.

A carnivalesque Art Rock tune, a depraved foray into the twisted mentality of a stalker,
and people who present themselves as being your best friend yet blatantly have far more sinister intentions. The music reflects this, it has a lush gentle sound in places but is menacing and eerie at the same time.

Don’t trust clowns around Halloween time…

Hungarian Songstress VERA JONAS Impresses In Sound And Vision With Pensive Pearl ‘KESERGÉS’

Posted on by JL

Artist: VERA JONAS EXPERIMENT
Who: Award-winning artist from Hungary who sways you with
her tender music or makes you dance with her tiger-wild songs.

New single/video: KESERGÉS.

A highlight from her recently released new album HOLD.

Vera Jones: “For me, Kesergés is about a kind of cycle. Everything comes full circle, the
wheat ripens, the heart heals after it’s been hurt. The intro to the music is not coincidentally
a ‘uroboros’, a symbol of a snake biting its own tail. The fragmented but circular syllables also symbolize that everything we do will be reflected in our relationships, our living environment, but also in nature. This film is an impression of our brutal summer of 2022, where we had a very hot summer, so we tried to take many showers, while the Great Plain was severely damaged by drought. When I first saw this footage, I thought it was taken on another
continent, or at least in Southern Europe. This is happening now”

TUTV: Intruiging song. Intriguing voice. Intriguing artist.

Kesergés is a meditative reverie about the unexceptional hot summer we just experienced, confirming once more that our climate is messed up in an alarming way. Vera Jones creates an atmosphere of urgent reflection embedded in a mesmeric melody.

This pensive pearl is sung in her native Hungarian language. To be honest, I had no clue how Hungarian actually sounded until now, and its, yes, exotic resonance surprised me.

Watch the impressive accompanying video clip.
The images speak for themselves…

Who: The art-rock collective of Rhode Island musician Daniel Darrow,

that’ll see the day of light on December 9. Order info here.

Turn Up The Volume wrote: Outlaw Empire‘ grooves and moves with Massive Attack‘s
trip-hop swagger, spacey reverberance and a sickly sticky, ongoing dub rotation. If
you were/are a Pop Group fan you’ll recognize Maffia maestro Mark Stewart‘s voice
from the first note.

Now you can get in the mood for Halloween with a
rapid-eye-movement visualization of this dub stunner.

Boston’s Ambient Voyagers VIOLET NOX Share Razzle Dazzle Video Clip For Electro Stomper ‘SENZOR’

Posted on by JL

23 October 2022

Experimental ambient voyagers VIOLET NOX – Dez DeCarlo and Andrew Abrahamson – from Boston contributed two pieces to a compilation entitled Enko Landmann’s Empire of the Four Moons. A project organized by German label Gruselthon putting the Utopian novel by German author Enko Landmann into music.

SENZOR is one of the two tracks. It’s a multi-layered electro stomper,
a razzle-dazzle enterprise into space, an intoxicating illusion.

The duo have a video out now for Senzor. A glitzy psychedelic-colored collage
of what looks to me as an ocean in motion beyond the earth’s atmosphere.

Watch/listen and get puzzled…

Don’t Trust Fortune Tellers – Boston’s Blues Rock Unit DIABLOGATO Share Video For ‘JET BLACK NIGHT’

Posted on by JL

22 October 20222


Pat Piasecki

Band: DIABLOGATO
Who: A collaborative band where each of its four members contribute equally to the overall vision, songwriting, and storytelling. So it makes sense that as the Boston rock and roll brigade watches the world burn, an invitation is extended for everyone else to join in and drift into the “Jet Black Night” – all that’s needed is a little white noise and anesthesia.

A week ago Diablogato launched their new single, named JET BLACK NIGHT

About:“With all the crazy in the world that we have such little control over, we are trying
to rally our fellow people into the darkness together. Because no matter how much despair
and disaster we face, together we are not alone in the darkness facing it – into the ‘Jet Black Night’.”

TUTV wrote: This is a blues rock-fueled sledgehammer, a nasty mid-tempo
groove for all doomed people out there, pretty much all of us. No rest for
the wicked. If we have to go down, let’s do it together while having bad-ass
blasts like this on the stereo.

Now we can get scared with the video for this cracker.

Don’t trust fortune tellers,
they can put a spell on you.

A Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Halloween is Coming With GRETCHEN SHAE & THE MIDDLE EIGHT

Posted on by JL

12 October 2022

Band: GRETCHEN SHAE & THE MIDDLE EIGHT
Who: Metallic Goth-punk hit team from Boston

New single/clip: SKELETON CLOSET

SHAE: “‘Skeleton Closet’ is about the duality of social media: the public persona versus the private,” says Shae. “We don’t want people to know we are unhappy, to see the unpleasantries, so we post a photo of some lavish object we bought, or of ourselves smiling with, perhaps, people we loathe. The idea of social media as a means to connect and share all emotions has really backfired, hasn’t it? Instead, we bury our secrets. We put filters on not just our faces; we put them on our lives. And we all do it, to some extent.”

TUTV: Skeleton Closet is a metallic punk rock rollercoaster going forth and back,
exploding after a short we are so cute intro into a crushing hell-o-ween slam dunk
to scare your Dr. Jekykl and Mr. Hyde neighbors and all the double personalities
on social media (most of us). It’s a nightmare on Gretchen Shae Street soundtracked
with be-witch-ing vocals, guitar-creepy attacks and a scream-movie chorus.

Whatever you do on Halloween, don’t fall asleep.

Release the skeletons here…

Posted on by JL

11 October 2022

Last May rock champion LIAM GALLAGHER released
his 3rd No 1 (in the UK) album C’Mon You Know.

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day and Liam was eager to do something to help to attract attention for this day. He teamed up with men’s mental health charity Talk Club.

Liam Gallagher: “We all know someone affected by suicide which sadly seems to be at an all-time high. I’ve lost many people far too early and it’s important to talk. I’m really pleased to be able to help in any way with this song and will be partnering with Talk Club on my track ‘Too Good For Giving Up’ LG x.”

Talk Club Charity‘s co-founders Ben Akers and Gavin Thorpe: “Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50. And Liam is a hero to many of that generation. So to be collaborating with him on something that raises the awareness of Talk Club, and gets men talking and improving their mental fitness, will save lives.”

The result of the collaboration is this affecting video clip
for TOO GOOD FOR GIVING UP, a highlight from our kid’s
newest LP.
