Watch: Double Helix Premiere New Single/Video "Doppelgänger"

London-based electronic duo Double Helix composed by Patrick Smith (Synths, Programming, Vocals), Kim Engelhardt (Bass Guitar) have premiered the video for their hypnotic new single "Doppelgänger".

The song, the follow up to debut single ‘Rat Rave’ (Slow Dance Records, January 2022), will be out on June 21 as part of the debut compilation from Ransom Note sub label Human Endeavour. Pre-order it here.

Doppelgänger is further drawing from the well of club-oriented influences, it is reminiscent of acid electronica of the 90’s, pitting the iconic sound of the Roland 303 against darker industrial tones, balearic synths and a relentless, pulsating motorik beat.   

The accompanying music video is also a striking visual companion to the track. Shot and directed by the band themselves, it evokes a cinematic sensation not unlike a Gaspar Noé nightmare, with violent red strobes and a surrealist detachment. Dancer and performance artist Giorgia Pirozzi contorts and bends her body, creating intoxicating blurs of motion, whilst the bass is pounding like an anxious palpitation.

AUS!Funkt Release Debut LP 'Turn To Rust', Air Video For Title Track

Toronto-based art-disco/post punk/electro quartet AUS!Funkt have released their highly-anticipated debut album 'Turn To Rust'.

The record is out today (June 15) and features some tracks from previous EPs and 5 new tracks, 61 minutes of pure post-punk/dark disco/electro funk/psych-goth/techno-surf magic. Get your copy here.

Rejecting the lyrical and musical excesses of rock music, AUS!Funkt combines the groove of electronic music with the subversive aggression of post-punk. The lyrics, spoken and sung, provoke the mind with their realism and repetition. Electronic beats seduce the body into movement, freeing it from its torpor. On top, the guitar spurts out clouds of noise, while the bass supplies the melody. AUS!Funkt assaults the senses and uneases the mind while you dance to its unsettling disco beats.

The band have also aired the video for the album's title track "Turn to Rust" featuring Prince Amponsah. "Prince is an incredible actor/artist, who was lost both hands and was severely burnt in a devastating house fire. His personal story perfectly aligns with the atmosphere of the video and the message of the song – moving away from something that once was and embracing what is and what is to come, no matter how hard that is. And here he is in our video in all his amazingness." They said.

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for "Turn to Rust", below.

New Entry: Wombo Release New single "Snakey"

Louisville, KY indie rock/post punk/psych band Wombo have released their new single "Snakey".

The song is taken from their new upcoming album 'Fairy Rust', which will be out on July 29 through Fire Talk. Pre-order your copy here.

‘Fairy Rust,’ contemplates the spaces in-between, a meeting of the physicality of the land with the fluidity of the imagination, to uncanny effect. Across twelve tracks, sharpened guitar work, distorted freakouts and downtempo musings see the trio make a sonic leap forward into new and transformative places. Conceived over the course of the last two years, the record is steeped in its own time warp of escapism, and influenced by fairytales like the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson (“RVG” is short for “Rip Van Winkle”) that blend surreal situations with the mundane. ‘Fairy Rust’ plays on this preoccupation with fantasy (“especially in a time where people are seeming to gravitate towards these kinds of stories”), and the resulting record sounds like no one else.
