Welsh post-punk unit Chain Of Flowers return with their lofty and long-simmering sophomore full-length, rich with reckonings, reverb, and redemption: Never Ending Space. Despite some of the songs dating back a few years, the record first began materialising in earnest during the pandemic, by which point most of the band had relocated from Cardiff to London. Reunited and rejuvenated, they picked up where they left off, booking two multi-day sessions at Hackney hub Total Refreshment Centre with producer Jonah Falco. In this time they successfully channelled their kinetic chemistry into 10 full-blooded anthems of torn dreams, poetic delirium, and “hope stretched too far.”

Musically, Never Ending Space skews notably more maximal than the group’s previous work, fleshed out with trumpets, saxophone, synth, percussion boxes, and spoken word. (Smith jokingly calls them The Chain Of Flowers Orchestra). Yet the songs still swing and soar with a charged heart, ripe with hooks, drama and ragged melody. Opener “Fire (In The Heart Of Hearts)” stirs to life on a tide of wiry guitar and defiant horns, facing down the embers of love that still glow in the wake of pain: “Peace came tumbling like a shower of bricks / The mind twists slowly till everything fits.” A tense energy ripples throughout – from the nocturnal rush of “Serving Purpose” and “Amphetamine Luck” to the bruised battle cries of “Torcalon” and “Old Human Material.” Outliers like “Praying Hands, Turtle Doves” hint at proggy possible futures, while instrumental vignette “Anomia” offers an intriguing glimpse at a lesser heard facet of the band: swaying, shadowy, subdued.

The album’s title track is also its closing cut, a stomping, sparkling ode to “the wrong side of the night, where time goes to die.” Smith describes the scene: “Everyone’s talking, screaming, trauma bonding, but no one’s listening. Broken dialogue. Shouting over each other. You want to switch off, but everyone’s too fucked.” The guitars spiral and slide towards the oblivion of dawn, the chance to crash and do it all again. The song’s refrain captures the elision of time, spilling through the haze of days, from chaos to acceptance: “I can’t see the clock through the shrouds of smoke / Does it matter? / Common ground / In a never ending space.”

2023 repress of Low Life's second album from 2019 on Colored Vinyl, in a single LP sleeve with insert. Colour effect is a seafoam green smear with a transparent base. Arriving with an aura of anticipation, 'Downer Edn' (read: Edition) feels like a collective document of the band's timeline since their unforgettable debut `Dogging'. Recorded over two years and mixed in 2018 by Mikey Young (Total Control / Eddy Current Suppression Ring), `Downer Edn' sees the core trio of Mitch Tolman, Cristian O'Sullivan and Greg Alfaro expand their ranks to a five piece. Dizzy Daldal and Yuta Matsumura of Oily Boys & Orion were brought in to reinforce the thick wall of guitars, freeing Tolman up as a dedicated front man for live duties. The hours of studio work have resulted in the band sounding more confident and fully realised, reaching and finding a sound that was perhaps unattainable 5 years prior. However, lurking behind the bigger vision and polished production, `Downer Edn remains a dark blast of an album. Expansive and cohesive, yet shimmering and rough; something they can be proud to call a definitive statement. As far as Australian punk is concerned, Downer Edition not only shatters the boundaries applied by that descriptor, it does so with the lushest attack conceivable. The visceral pounding of melodies throughout the album transforms their inspirations; desperation, neuroses, trauma, survival, hooliganism, violence, hope, rejuvenation, and their hometown of Sydney's full architectural and social scope - from a realm of intangibility to the very, very tangible. Unified on `RBB,' ruminating on `92', chasing the escape on `Rave Slave,' and unwillingly defiant on `Warrior,' Downer Edition reaches past the wild ride of Dogging - this truly is the album that Low Life have been threatening to make for nearly a decade. Released in conjunction with Goner Records in the USA and Cool Death in Australia.

new 2022 "HAMMERTIME" vinyl edition pressed on West Ham colours. Half transparent violet & half turquoise. Comes in glossy sleeve with insert. There's an ordeal that underpins Low Life's 'Dogging,' and looking back at it, perhaps this was inevitable given the album's exceptionally derogatory attitude to its own scattered sense of time and debris. It's an attitude that's been hosed down in bore water-stained stupor, with all the anguished but forgivable hope and charm of plain packaged cigarettes. 'Dogging' crawled into the world desperately and painfully. Originally slated for release on Brisbane's singular Negative Guest List Records in 2012, the label's owner sadly passed away before it got there. It eventually emerged two years later as a split between two labels from the band's home turf of Sydney, Disinfect Records and R.I.P. Society. It's fitting that the latter had reissued Venom P. Stinger's Dugald McKenzie-era material the year prior-arguably the only other Australian band that compares to the tough, shit-kicking intensity found on 'Dogging.' Comprised of Mitch Tolman, Cristian O'Sullivan, and Greg Alfaro at this point (the current 2017 line-up includes Dizzy from Oily Boys), the reckless ferocity and defeatist's humour is pointedly nihilistic. It's not kitsch nihilism either, it's the kind that enlivens. Indexing happiness, fear, lust, grief, and sorrow, the wry indulgences outlined in Tolman's coded and scheming lyrics amount to white-knuckle sincerity. It's disarming, but it's blunted by a weighty smirk. If all this weren't delivered through a sardonic curled lip, the violence at the edge of it all would perhaps come off a little less real. There's a bitterly angry confrontation with the contemporary Australian psyche once you enter Low Life's estate. Thugged out and at pace, there's a genuine rush to 'Dogging.' The mindless logic of 'harder and faster' could never get you to where they were at this point. Even at the marginally calmer moments the guitars glance you like a headache rev...

'Water Temple' is the debut album of the Berlin-based group Property. Comprised of Marijn Degenaar (NL) and Vivant de Non (AUS). The album wanders through dense end-of-world sensations without keeping away from piercing melodic instrumentation. As hazy as 'Water Temple' can get, Property just as easily trade the murky side of their post-punk sound for analogue synthesisers that feel almost celestial. Used to striking effect on 'Water Temple', the chorus-heavy bassline is interwoven with a strident melody that punctures the rhythm and accents the Neue Deutsche Welle energy that the pair play on at certain moments. Similarly, the vocals on 'Water Tempel' flirt with our cracked times from another angle, rendering a remarkable first transmission from this new duo. Foggy synthesisers fill the cavities of every track, though the driving leads ensure the ambience never overtakes the song-structures across the album.

The Band: Low Life Are A Rock Band From Sydney, Australia. The Record: Low Life's 3rd Lp Is Called From Squats To Lots: The Agony And The Xtc Of Low Life. Notes On How To Listen To Agony And Xtc Of Low Life: 1. Some Records Hit You With An Instant Impression Of Timeless Brilliance, And Low Life's Dogging Is One Of Those Records, What The Wise Call "An Instant Classic". 2. From Squats To Lots: The Agony And The Xtc Of Low Life Is More Like Their Second Album Downer Edn (Read Edition), A Little More Withdrawn, A Little More Textured. Complex. Rich. Which Is To Say: You're Going To Need Some Time With It. 3. Some Show, Some Grow. Low Life Have Done Both. This One Is A Grower. Spend Some Time With This One. It's Got That Nuanced Flavour. Don't Guzzle. Sip. Savour. 4. Sip It, And Sense The Recurring Brilliance Of Mitch Tolman's Lyrics, Exploring The Usual Territory Of Gutter Life, Lad Life, Punk Life, Low Life. The Dirge. Disgust And Shame In White Australia. Council Housing, Bills Piled To The Neck, Substance Abuse And Rehabilitation, The Fallen Lads And Lasses Who Stood Too Close To The Flame, Loss And Loneliness, From Squats To Lots. Un-Australian Gutter Symphony. 5. There Is A Celebration Of Resilience And That's A Central Theme Of This Record And A Time Like Ours Needs A Record Like Agony & Xtc. Low Times Are Coming Through, But If You're Low They Won't Get To You. 6. Iggy Pop's Bowie Produced Studio Rock Masterpieces 'The Idiot' And 'Lust For Life' Are Important Reference Points To The 3rd Album Sounds Of Low Life. Here Comes Success! 7. 'The Agony And Ecstasy' Is A 1985 Novel By Irving Stone About The Life Of Italian Renaissance Painter Michelangelo. Stone Wrote Another Novel About The Single Eared Painter Vincent Van Gogh Called 'Lust For Life'. This Synchronicity Hit Me. 8. Iggy And The Stooges Are A Pretty Safe Reference For Low Life (And All Good Rock Music). Iggy And The Stooges Are A Low Life's Michelangelo, But Solo Iggy Like Lust For Life Is A Better Reference For This Particular Incarnatio...

Colour Effect Is "Black Hole", Black In Clear. Press From The Wire, Electronic Sound, Mojo, The Quietus_ Microcorps Is The New Project By Artist And Musician Alex Tucker (Grumbling Fur, Alexander Tucker, Imbogodom) Exploring Electronics, Cello And Voice. The Debut Release Xmit, An Eight-Track Album Featuring Collaborations With Gazelle Twin, Nik Void, Simon Fisher Turner And Astrud Steehouder, Is Out On 16 April 2021. Tucker's Ever-Evolving Soundworld Continues To Unfold With This Collection Of Harsh Realms Centred Around Processed Electronic Systems, Strings And Vocal Manipulations. On The New Album, Microcorps Employs Altered Voices, Sound Synthesis And Atomised Beat Constructions. In A Move Away From Previous Projects Xmit Investigates Erasing The Self, Removing Obvious Traits Of The Hand And Voice, And Allowing A Focus On The Humanoid Rather Than The Human. Instead Of Recognisable Lyrics And Coherent Imagery, Microcorps Evolved Synthesised Voices To Generate Alternate Characters. He Expands, "I Was Investigating How Language Brings Our World Into Being And How Manipulating The Actual Grain Of The Voice Could Open Up Momentary Shifts In Perception." Each Track Is Born From A Balance Between Composition And Improvisation Within Set Parameters. At Each Stage Audio Is Heavily Processed And Then Reconfigured. Setting Up Systems That Are Non-Repeatable, Where Decisions Can Be Premeditated And Intuitive But Never The Same With Each Performance, Using Hardware And Instruments Outside Of The Computer To Make Live Stereo Takes That Have Limited Room For Editing And Mixing. "I'd Been Looking Into Combining Dream Music With Machine Rhythms, But There Are So Many Great Examples Out There Of Both Music Forms, So I Started To Cut Up The Drones And Really Filter The Drum Patterns To Create A Hybrid Space." The Album Artwork Features Manipulated Ink Drawings By Tucker That Originally Featured In His Recent Comic Entity Reunion 2. Xmit Refers To A Time In Which Information Both Physical And Nonphysical Transfers At...

Privat Is A Band Based In Vienna. With One Live Show And A Compilation Appearance Under Their Belt, The Duo Of Robert Pawliczek And Robert Schwarz Are Short On Extant Information. Despite This, There's A Wealth Of Novel Tact And Flashpoints In The Wicked Intensity Of Privat That Makes Sense As A Consolidation Of The Duo's Cumulative Activity Across Music And The Visual Arts In The Last Decade. Their Debut Album, 'Ein Gedachtnis Rollt Sich Auf Der Zunge Aus', Is An Annihilating Introduction To This New Collaboration. Schwarz's Background Lies In Both Architecture And Computer Music. Across A Handful Of Labels, He's Presented Field Recordings And Experimental Works, And He's Participated In Exhibitions With Some Of Europe's Most Prominent Institutions For Adventurous Art Practices. He Is Also The Co-Founder And Curator Of The Viennese Festival Parken; Or, Live In The Park, Which Aims To Mediate Experimental Forms Of Music In Public Spaces. Pawliczek Is A Conceptual Artist And Musician, And It's His Work That Graces The Sleeves And Can Be Found In Accompanying Video Material. He's Been Involved In Some Exceptional Groups And Projects That Have Been Centred In And Around Berlin In The Last Years. These Include Bobby Would, Heavy Metal, Itchy Bugger, And Pitva. Having Met In Antwerp In The Orbit Of Dennis Tyfus' Former Gallery Pinkie Bowtie, The Pair Initially Began To Work On Privat Back In 2018 Around A Shared Affinity For Repetitive Electronic Music And An Aesthetic Preference For Spartan Coldness. 'Ein Gedachtnis Rollt Sich Auf Der Zunge Aus' Makes Good On Their Pact. The Album Presents A Set Of Works That Carefully Balance The Galvanising Propulsion Of Rhythmic Electronics With The Kind Of Textural Palette That Betrays The Pair's Experimental Roots. Deadpan Vocals Are Delivered Throughout, Developing A Kind Of Frosty Symbiosis. Tempered By Just Arrangements, There's A Song-Writerly Core That's Organising The Album's Sombre Meditations, Piquing Moments Of Comparison With Moroder's Rawness As Readily As...

Coming out of London and the South West of England, Hey Colossus are one of Europe's great live bands. Since 2003 the 6-piece has been driving around the continent with their “pirate ship” backline of broken amps and triple-guitar drang, elevating audiences in every type of venue imaginable; a doctor’s waiting room in Salford, an industrial unit in Liege and a vast field next to a river in Portugal. Wherever they may roam.

Four Bibles is their twelfth studio album and the first to be released by London label ALTER, whose sole proprietor (the electronic producer Helm) encountered the group at their first gig in 2003. Recorded by Ben Turner at Space Wolf Studios in Somerset, it's their most direct album yet and follows a well-documented trajectory of evolution that began (in the truest sense) with 2011’s RRR for Riot Season and continued across three albums for Rocket Recordings. Lead vocalist Paul Sykes sounds more in focus than before, dialling down the effects and using reverb / delay to carry his lyrics rather than smother. The band has also fine-tuned to leave some room for extra depth. Piano, electronics and violin (by Daniel O'Sullivan of This is not This Heat / Grumbling Fur) all find a way in amongst a familiar mesh of interlacing guitars, wrapped round a taut rhythm section. Like every other Hey Colossus record before, the line-up has altered and the sounds reflect this.

From the weight of “Memory Gore”, to the subtlety and swag of “It's a Low”, via the sonic extremes of “Palm Hex/Arndale Chins” this is exactly as the band are live; raging & rail-roading but somehow in control. Grooves for those who want to dance or for those who want to hug a wall and nod...bleak dystopian imagery submerged in relentless rhythms and low-end rattle. The songs breath life and soul - Hey Colossus have never sounded fresher or more on point.

There is a book release to coincide with the album written by bass player (and founding member) Joe Thompson. It's part of a new series called “Sleevenotes” by Pomona Publishing and the first four are out this year. Joe’s book sits alongside other contributions by Bob Stanley (St Etienne), Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees/Solo), David Gedge (The Wedding Present) and contains a diary of the years leading up to the release of this record. Touring with bands Sumac and Grey Hairs through Europe, recording the album, line-up changes, the band's history and the big question is answered: Why?
