Holy Fuck Announce New LP 'Deleter', Stream "Luxe"

Toronto psych/dance band Holy Fuck have announced the released of their fifth studio album 'Deleter'.

The 9-track album will be out on January 17th , 2020 via Last Gang Records, and "is a defiantly full-bodied affair". Pre-order your copy here.

Polyrhythmic and pleasure- focused, Deleter sees Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt Schulz, and Matt “Punchy” McQuaid taking their signature sound to new creative heights – seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house’s dreamy ineffability, expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz and tang that so often sends clubbers into states of unselfconscious rapture.

Spiritually, Deleter is an album that explores what happens when humanity and technology coalesce into one big, semi-organic celebration of the joys of spontaneity, repetition, and individuality. As the band puts it, “the robots are smarter than ever, and the algorithm knows more and more what we like as individuals, but we have to remind ourselves that there is music in the margins that can go missing and that that music is more important than ever.” Marginal or not, Deleter is the sound of Holy Fuck freely ebbing and flowing in their own unique ecosystem. As a listener you’ve got a choice – carry on with the passive consumption, or push back, engage, and move to something worth of your time. Something like Deleter.

Watch: Low Hummer Unveil "Don't You Ever Sleep" Music Video

Hull post punk/alt five-piece Low Hummer have unveiled the video for their latest single "Don't You Ever Sleep".

The song is part of our current playlist and came out last month (September 17) via Dance to the Radio. Grab it here.

"'Don’t You Ever Sleep' is a song about late night loneliness and anxiety leading to purchasing items online as a form of therapy,” singer Daniel Mawer explains. "Sonically it’s us exploring eclectic drumkits and synths, before jumping into a distorted chorus which comes most natural to us. We feel the song is a blueprint of what Low Hummer should sound like. The chorus of ‘we are bored’ is the apathy and frustration I think a lot of our friends and family feel regarding their lives."

Watch: All Tvvins Drop Lyric Video For "Divine"

Dublin Ireland indie rock/pop duo All Tvvins have a lyric video for their latest single "Divine".

The song is part of our current playlist and came out last month (September 20) via Faction Records. Get it here.

"To see yourself from outside of yourself is one of the weirdest experiences you can have. The sensations you feel are of you and old but completely new at the same time," says Conor Adams. "This song is about the outer body experience both in the literal sense and the figurative every day. I think it's a good thing to try see yourself as others might see you. When I do this, I feel more connected to everyone and everything else.... I don't feel like this single unit anymore."

TOY Announce 'Songs Of Consumption' Collection, Share "Fun City"

London-based indie rock/psychedelic band TOY have announced 'Songs Of Consumption', an 8-song collection of unique interpretations of tracks which have inspired the band.

The self-produced album will be out on 15th November. Pre-order your copy here.

Talking about it, TOY said: "Songs of Consumption sonically is a continuation and development of the themes conceived on Happy In The Hollow and it will show people where we are going towards musically. The DIY approach was explored further utilising more of the electronic elements that we touched upon before. Drum machines, stripped down arrangements and rudimentary production give a primitive sound that we thought suited the choice of songs. Some of the songs have very big sounding production, so we wanted to experiment with them by going in a different direction.

Music is consumed voraciously now whereas these songs came from a time when the song was of the most important thing and that's what was appreciated. Stripping them back to the essence of what they are was also something we wanted to explore. Also, we wanted to make a covers record with songs by people that influenced us in the past few years and it’s as much about the way they dealt with their ideas, and how they put themselves in uncomfortable situations in order to make something that in the end is simple. It’s a homage to the spirit of these people, that helped us to untangle ourselves from our inherent complicated nature and create a new space where we can exist."

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for their take of Soft Cell’s "Fun City" below.

Songs Of Consumption Tracklist:
01. Down On The Street (The Stooges)
02. Follow Me (Amanda Lear)
03. Sixty Forty (Nico)
04. Cousin Jane (The Troggs)
05. Fun City (Soft Cell)
06. Lemon Incest (Charlotte Gainsbourg & Serge Gainsbourg)
07. Always On My Mind (B.J. Thomas)
08. A Dolls House (John Barry)
