STAFF PICKS
I’m letting unseen forces take the wheel – Phantom Lily (feat. ZOMBIESHARK & TWINK OBLITERATOR)
Label – MEAT BOG
(Spotify)
Joe recommends: Returning in their outlandish fashion, I’m letting unseen forces take the wheel drop dual-single containing “Leprechauns Are Real And I’m Going To Cook One” and “Phantom Lily“. A gunfire of blast beats on one is contrasted with chiptune on the other, taking the sheer chaos of this project to a new level.
LUNE – Progeny (Single)
Label – Resist Records
(Spotify/Apple)
Harry recommends: Melbourne metalcore unit LUNE have announced their signing to Resist Records and released new single “Progeny“, which is off their upcoming EP The Change Around Us & The Change In You, dropping next month in November.
Every Face Becomes A Skull – Friend Noises (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Warm chords, punchy bass, dueting vocals and roof-raising lyrics – Every Face Becomes A Skull return with a real ditty. This comes from a soon-releasing 22 minute LP, promising more upbeat punk for tiny basements. It was recorded in Nottingham’s beloved DIY-institute and venue JT Soar that the band helps to maintain, a spot that is becoming a touchstone for the UK’s post-2020 underground alternative scene.
