Out Of The Past

Thanks to the sterling work of De Stijl we are now familiar with the heartbreaking work of Ed Askew. Here is a choice extract from his biography: “His original musical instrument was the Martin Tipple, which he describeds as a “10-stringed instrument shaped like a baritone ukulele.” For several months circa 66-67, he was in [...]

Jail Sail

Victor Hugo said the penal system is a sea of pitiless social darkness and an unfathomable waste of misery, which makes it sound a lot like The Tower of Pinglewood (on a good day). Daggereyess probably wasn’t thinking about Victor Hugo when he made this ghostly, pulsing techno track, but who knows, because it does [...]

You’re A Pal And A Confidant

Slime – Next Time [Stream Only] Slime [...]

Quiet Storm

Echo Lake – Young Silence [Via] This mesmerising Echo Lake video was made by Dan Nixon from XXJFG with an MS Kinect. It’s certainly an improvement on our (rejected) effort which harnessed the untapped artistic potential of MS Excel. No Pain In Pop release Echo Lake‘s debut EP on Valentine’s Day (shucks) and the release [...]

Burn Out

Royalty make flinty, mean boogie that sounds like that scene in Blue Valentine where angry, resentful sex boils over into a big fucking fight, but only if Michelle Williams (SWOON) and Ryan Gosling (SWOON) were steel-hearted cyborgs. For more robot break-up songs, get their forthcoming EP on Five Easy Pieces. Royalty – Don’t Break Me [...]
