New Entry: Trillion Release New Single "Sure"

Sydney noise-pop five-piece Trillion have released their new single "Sure".

The song is taken from their forthcoming new album 'Atomic Sunshine'. Get it here.

Trillion share a love of sonic mayhem, a desire to craft indie soundscapes with pop sensibilities, and an unhealthy obsession with guitar pedals - it's not by chance that the band describes themselves as “shoegaze merchants from the land of Oz”.

Their deep love of all things fuzz comes to the fore on this new track, showcasing the band’s strong songcrafting skills and artful ability to use the space between the harmonics to propel the listener forward. Sure represents the dreams we weave, and the stories we tell ourselves when the light of day breaks and finds us alone with just the lingering fragments of sights and sounds left in our mind’s eye.

Recorded in isolation, with each band member contributing their parts separately, Sure, and the single’s companion track ‘Here’s to tomorrow’ represent the ability of artists to overcome the barriers of physical separation and create as an integral part of life. Driving basslines and blistering drums, layering these with hazy vocals and multi-textured fuzz come together to grab and hold the listener’s attention, across the blurred line between reality and hypnagogic visions.

Take a listen below.

The KVB Announce New LP 'Unity', Stream "Unité"

UK psychedelic/shoegaze/dark wave duo The KVB have announced the release of their new studio album 'Unity'.

The follow up to their 2018's album Only Now Forever, was produced and mixed by Andy Savours (Black Country New Road, My Bloody Valentine, The Horrors) and represents an exciting development in the band’s sonic journey. It will be out on November 26 via Invada Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Across the album's ten songs, The KVB masterfully pull together their trademark components; radiant guitars, textural synths and an ear for a moody, brooding melody all presented here with with a renewed dynamism.

The initial writing sessions for the album took place in Spain in early 2019, where the duo found influence from “half built luxury villas, still unfinished from the crash in 2008. There was something eerie and beautiful about the desolate landscapes and concrete in the sunshine.” There has always been an element of dystopia through their sound, but now there is also more of a rapturous release.

Throughout the album lyrical themes combine double meanings and a sleight of hand is present; Le Corbousier’s brutalist ‘Unité d’habitation’ informs the title track and via the French-to-English translation ‘Unité' becomes ‘Unity’ - a rallying cry to totality on the dancefloor. ‘Unbound’ is informed by the classic shoegaze stylings of Slowdive and Ride but also late-modern poet Keston Sutherland and the idea of recreating a special moment lost to the past . Beginning with a blast of electronic drums, lead single ‘World on Fire’ instantly kicks in with a euphoric blend of guitars and synths beneath Nicholas Wood’s and Kat Day’s breathy-yet-powerful vocal duet. Second single ‘Unité’ is built around a pulsing synth arpeggio that wouldn’t sound out of place on Trans Europe Express, but is augmented by detached, deadpan vocals and dream-pop sonics.

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for their new single "Unité", below.

01. Sunrise Over Concrete

03. Unbound

Watch: The KVB Premiere New Single/Video "World On Fire"

UK psychedelic/shoegaze/dark wave duo The KVB have premiered their new single "World On Fire", alongside an accompanying music video.

The song is out today (July 21) via Invada Records and is their first new music since 2019's 'Submersion' EP. Get it here.

From the duo: “'World On Fire' was written in late 2019 and at its core it’s about duality and how a phrase like 'set the world on fire, which sounds so destructive, is also about doing something remarkable. We wanted it to be a phrase that is deliberately open to interpretation in this song. Over time we have all become desensitised to bad news and horrific events through television and social media. In much the same way as people slow down to look at a car crash, it feels like we’ve all become more and more obsessed with watching the world on fire."

New Entry: Hundredth Unleash New Single "Iridescent"

Myrtle Beach, SC rock/melodic hardcore band Hundredth have unleashed their new single "Iridescent".

According to vocalist/guitarist Chadwick Johnson, the song is about “taking meticulous care of something—whether it be a relationship or project—for a long time, and then one day you realize that even though you cared so much for it, it’s not ultimately up to you whether it thrives or not. And even trying to make it thrive almost adds a pressure that could potentially ruin it. It’s a song about letting things happen and just trying to get through. The lyric ‘Free falling now ’cause we’re hooked on synthetic light/An iridescent lie’ is the realization that we are never really in control, and the beauty is actually in the experience. And even if it’s just an illusion, everything looks different from a different angle. The goal is experience instead of expectation.”

UPDATE 01/10/2019: "Iridescent" is our new Single of the Week!

The song is the title track of their new EP out today (September 27). Get your copy here and stream it below.

New Entry: Hundredth Air New Single "Leave Yourself"

Myrtle Beach, SC rock/melodic hardcore band Hundredth have aired their new single "Leave Yourself".

According to vocalist/guitarist Chadwick Johnson: “‘Leave Yourself’ started out with the loose aim of trying to write our version of “Just Like Heaven” by The Cure. Obviously we veered from that path along the way, but it’s funny to think about where songs start. While we were putting together the instrumental we almost ruined it by trying to overcomplicate it. When I went to write lyrics and vocals, I decided to play on that exact concept. We often overthink and overanalyze rather than relying on instinct. “The song is about the dichotomy of wanting to do everything and nothing at the same time,” Johnson continues. “It’s both an external question of possibility and a solution to internal scrutiny. Ultimately, ‘Leave Yourself’ is a song about getting out of your own way.”

UPDATE 26/08/2019: "Leave Yourself" is our new Single of the Week!

The song is  out now. Get your copy here and stream it below.

The KVB Reveal Details of New Album 'Only Now Forever'

UK psychedelic/shoegaze/dark wave duo The KVB have revealed full details of their upcoming sixth studio album 'Only Now Forever', which will be out on 12th October via Invada Records UK.

Whilst holding evident inspiration from previous times, the sound this London-founded duo present is progressive and distinctly new in every sense. Idyllic at times; gritty in others, each bar is as enchanting as the last, leaving you in a melancholic trance.

“On our new album we wanted to take everything we had learned in the studio recording our last album and apply it to self-producing this album,” explains the band.

Recorded entirely in their Berlin apartment throughout 2017 the band decided they wanted to take a freer approach to writing and recording. “In the past, we had always tried to restrict ourselves productions wise, to what was possible to play live as a duo, but this time we wanted to expand our compositions and instrumentation, and let the atmosphere dictate the layers of sound.”

Pre-order the album here, and check out the tracklist below.

Tracklisting:
01. Above Us
02. On My Skin
03. Only Now Forever
04. Afterglow
05. Violet Noon
06. Into Life
07. Live In Fiction
08. Tides
09. No Shelter
10. Cerulean
