Menomena ‘Five Little Rooms’ (Bella Union)
Unleashing their brass drenched indie soul, Menomena are more than happy to display different facets of their fascinating band. From pensive keys and a subtle croon to the full stomp of their cacophonous and amorphous swoon, they don’t stay still. Menomena are something like a phenomenon.
- - -
The Young Friends ‘Downtown’ (Holiday)
Matching their name with every delightful step, The Young Friends are brimming with poppy energy and halcyon melodies. You know how The Stone Roses or New Order ‘chimed’? Well, step into The Young Friends’ indie church, cos they got some serious dong-a-long for us. Excellent tumbling sounds.
- - -
The Hairs - ‘Scabies, Babies’ (Holiday)
Not the nicest song title in the world, but this dark pop is a Trojan horse coming swaddled in saccharine ditty. Scuzzy guitars and light percussion battle for fuzzy dominance, but it’s the vocal that wins out. More melodic promise from over the Atlantic and hard to see how their formula will fail.
- - -
!!! - ‘AM/FM’ (Warp)
Chk-chk-chk can now do what they fucking want. This magnificent
capability is spread all over their latest LP like butter. And it’s just as smooth as they follow linear and deep lines into a rock record that stands out with a structure more like minimal dance music. Slick stuff.
- - -
Dr. John - ‘Feel Good Music’ (Proper)
It couldn’t be simpler. The good doctor has prescribed that we swallow some sweet medicine called ‘Feel Good Music’ and that’s exactly what we’ll do. There’s nothing that could ever hurt you in here; organic vibes from a master of the past heading into our future.
- - -
Violens - ‘Acid Reign’ (Static Recital)
You can hear why The Drums chose this band for their Ones To Watch section (along with Young Friends and Hairs) for their captivating melody and lovely layered indie anthems. There’s a lot going on here, just make sure you have a look about as you whizz through.
- - -
Wavves - ‘Post Acid’ (Bella Union)
Getting straight down to business Wavves unleash themselves with fury and appetite across their new album ‘King Of The Beach’ and this cheeky belter has all the edgy threat we expect: accessible vocals riding high on a dirty and murky mix of bass ass rock. A great, great band.
- - -
Matthew Dear - ‘I Can’t Feel’ (Ghostly Int.)
If you want a crystalline example of Dear’s latest foray into wonky pop then this be it. Stealing the funk of Prince and the bounce of Hot Chip whilst reconfiguring drones before surfing a path on his own percussive aesthetic, ‘I Can Feel’ stands utterly alone.
- - -
Deastro - ‘Mowgli The Lynx’ (Ghostly Int.)
Space pop provocateur and one-man cosmic orchestra, Deastro dazzled us with his second album many orbits ago. Here’s a lush reminder of his urgent, often complex electronic pop nuggets. We await his next move and cosy up to this understated classic till then.
- - -
Jimmy Edgar - ‘Hot Raw Sex’ (!K7)
Packing a punch of mercurial bass and icy snares, Edgar goes next level with his sleazy techno lounge lovin’. This sounds simultaneously from the years 1983 and 3819. A rare feat. Minimal funk and vocoders often are great bed fellows, here they are transformed into panting lovers.
- - -
Glitch Mob - ‘Drive Like You Stole It’ (Glass Air)
Instrumental apocalypse is upon us. With huge ballsy breaks, warped and twisting organs and drums to crush your mind, Glitch aren’t fucking about. It’s easy to see how they have rinsed support slots for Pendulum as they boldly colonise new areas of beatsmithery that may well go airborne. Emo-hop? Not yet, dudes.
- - -
Post Human - ‘Stockholm Syndrome Pt.II’ (Seed Records)
Seething in splendour, this duo have smashed one of the dance EPs of the year. Stand aside rivals, the underground speaks. Here, complex half-step rhythms fight in schizo-combat with more linear techno grooves as dystopian tones tumble through their sound field. Completely essential for dance heads.
- - -
These songs are lying in wait like aural terrorists about to storm your inner sanctum. They each pack a punch and ain’t afraid to blitz your senses. Man up! Get your sweat on by running immediately to a computer and downloading this Clash assault. At ease, soldier.
