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.”

Check out the album's tracklist and listen to "Eat the Etiquette" below.

3D Routine tracklisting:
01. Revising My Fee
02. Eat the Etiquette
03. Existential Dread
04. Coronation Chicken

Menace Beach Announce New LP 'Black Rainbow Sound', Stream Title Track Ft Brix Smith

Leeds noise-pop/surf punk duo Menace Beach have announced the release of the third studio album titled 'Black Rainbow Sound'.

The follow-up to 2017’s Lemon Memory, will be out on August 31st via Memphis Industries, and unlike their previous records, it came to life in the bands studio, where Liza Violet and Ryan Needham built dense late-night orchestrations from drum machines, synthesizers, loops and guitar noise, before being ripped apart and reimagined by the full Menace Beach cast at The Nave studio in Leeds with co-producer Matt Peel (Eagulls).

On Black Rainbow Sound, Menace Beach continue to explore their own unique aesthetic, venturing much further into a colourful world of bizzaro no-wave analogue synths and static drenched electronic euphoria, which they have been circling for some time.

"Liza has always made electronic music and has a very unique approach to what she creates on her synths, so I knew she’d do something magical if she took the reins in the studio. Turns out she was planning a subtle-yet-hostile takeover all along anyway."

Liza adds “There’s always been a bit of artistic push and pull between us on the balance of synth noise vs guitars noise and the guitars have previously always taken over, probably because we all know now how to make loud guitars sound really exciting in a room. But when we started writing this record I was feeling too much reality in the sound of a guitar and I really wanted to give something more this time. Once I had the sounds in my head I couldn’t really compromise."

Dutch Uncles Announce New Album 'Big Balloon', Stream Title Track

Manchester based indie rock/art pop band Dutch Uncles have announced they will release their fifth studio album titled 'Big Balloon' on 17 February.

The record has taken inspiration from Kate Bush’s The Red Shoes, Low-era David Bowie, Eastern European techno and their own dads’ record collections. Thematically, it’s set to deal with everything from austerity, paranoia and loneliness to fried chicken.

Vocalist and lyricist Duncan Wallis: “The song has a simple message: to be content with who you are. If you need help with that, then don’t be ashamed or frustrated. If other people appear to be doing a better job at being you than you then it means that that’s not you. And that’s okay too.” “As soon as recording began, it felt like the perfect response to the feelings of abandonment we’d been harbouring recently. We see it as the perfect distillation of everything we set out to achieve on the new record.”

Composer and bass player Robin Richards:“The song helped steer the direction of the songs written afterwards which became the album Big Balloon. It reminded us of the potency of the electric guitar, and brought them back as focal instruments on the record.”

Pre-order the album here, check out the tracklist, and have a listen to title track below.

Tracklist:
01. Big Balloon
02. Baskin’
03. Combo Box
04. Same Plane Dream
05. Achameleon
06. Hiccup
07. Streetlight
08. Oh Yeah
09. Sink
10. Overton
