STAFF PICKS
Crystalview – loss (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Jonathan recommends: Picking up where they left off, Crystalview return with “loss”. Injecting breakcore influences into their hyperpop-infused djent sound, they bring these elements together to craft a poignant atmosphere. The band’s upcoming material is beyond intriguing with their boundless experimentation.
Xiao – Control (Single)
Label – Twelve Gauge Records
(Spotify/Bandcamp)
Joe recommends: In a week brimming with hardcore releases, Xiao make their much anticipated return, with absolutely killer track “Control“. Their caustic and firce sound blasts through on tighter production, with their political message taking aim at the revolving door of the Swedish political class, as they move between politics and private firms.
