Mush Announce Debut LP '3D Routine', Stream "Eat the Etiquette"

Leeds lo-fi/guitar pop/post punk newcomers Mush have announced the release of their debut album '3D Routine'.

The record will be out on February 14th via Memphis Industries. Pre-order your copy here.

Following on from their ‘Induction Party E.P’, Leeds based Mush are circulating their own sonic mythology, blurring the lines between abstract surrealism, existentialism and social commentary. Like its predecessor ‘3D Routine’ is a sensory overload of clattering, hooky, guitar work. However, this time space emerges between the onslaughts and in this respite, room is found for new emotional depth. More expansive than ever before, ‘3D Routine’ manages to maintain the rawness of a classic debut but it’s experimentation and variety portray a band unlikely to rest on their ‘guitarband’ chops. 

First single, ‘Eat the Etiquette,’ described by vocalist Dan Hyndman as a “a bit of a stream of consciousness type rant”, takes aim at the use of ‘common sense’ as societal weapon; the “sick laughing track of malicious intent” making a mockery of progressive ideas, while “manufactured sense” helps maintain the underlying and iniquitous structures of wealth and power. It’s out now in all the usual places.

“Fundamentally we identify as music fans as much as artists,” says Hyndman. “I write music that I want to hear for my own enjoyment. I’ve always admired people who can create visceral and inspiring art without carrying on as some transcendent being. Having your influences on your sleeve and being open is just an extension of that.”

Watch: Planet Release Music Video For "Reason Why"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have released the video for their latest single "Reason Why".

The song is part of our current playlist and is out now. Get it here.

About the song, frontman Matty Took said: “I wrote Reason Why about five years ago. Lyrically it’s all about uncertainty, imbalance, mental confusion and being uninspired. Melodically, it is dreamy and flowing, which counteracts with the duelling riff that smacks you in the face."

The video was made by Callum Scott-Dyson. Watch below.
