‘Hungers’
The state51 Conspiracy

London rock ‘n’ rollers Human Hair are the musical result of a friendship between ex-furniture salesman turned vocalist, Jack Lenton and ex-Lovvers guitarist Henry Withers. Naturally, these two musical minds clash from very different ends of the spectrum. With a dark, poetic, Nick Cave reference lingering in Lenton’s vocal corner, and a simplistic Pavement-esque ideal resonating with Withers.

With their separate influences in mind, Human Hair’s sound is rather curious and unique. ‘Hungers’ receives a rigourous floor tom thrashing alongside scuzzy chord abuse. A minimalistic musical concoction is brewed. There’s no need nor want of unessesary decorations, that would only detract from the commanding vocal tones protruding from Lenton’s deep howl.

Hit play below and expose your ears to the weird rock ‘n’ roll of Human Hair, and your eyes to the hilarious visual they’ve knocked up to accompany this track.

Having just dropped their debut album My Life as a Beast and Lowly Form, the London quartet are set to play the Bad Vibrations / Marshall Teller all-dayer at The Shacklewell Arms on Saturday, be sure to head down and check out their live show at 4.45pm.

‘Face the Sun’
Dry Run Records

Rising from the ashes of Capricorns and Pettybone, London trio Broken DC are steaming in with a new 7″, ‘Face The Sun’ / ‘Gnarled’.

Recorded aboard Rory Atwell’s Lightship, back in 2013, this A side is a fierce marriage of hardcore and post-punk.

A thrashing ode to the the firey orange disc that burns high in our skies, ‘Face The Sun’ kicks in with sincerely rocking riffs and animalistic kit bashing. The first half of this track is a full on assault to the ears, with a growling mantra, spat high over primal chord-thrashing.

Recalling the sounds of Metz, it’s not just noise that Broken DC bring to the fold. Breathing space is carved out by a progessive mid-section, unfolding phased-out, unexpectedly intricate guitar lines that build from easy on the ear to a cascade of choral chaos. Watch the video now on YouTube.

‘Face The Sun’ / ‘Gnarled’ is due August 11th on Dry Run Records.

Sleep
Adult Swim Singles

Our ears have only just stopped ringing since Destruction Unit dropped their Adult Swim installment, ‘Dust‘, a few weeks ago. Now, the Adult Swim Singles Club come good again with brand new noise from stoner rock titans, Sleep.

Picking up where 2003 LP Dopesmoker left off, ‘The Clarity’ is a straight up, stoned, doom metal phenomenon. Bone-shaking bass throbs, a guttural kick drum pounds, and a smoke-screen’d vocal is shrouded in sub-frequency fuzz. This is not a track for the faint hearted and if played loud and proud through your biggest speakers, is sure to knock you straight on your back.

Exhaling into a face-melting interlude mid-way through, its no suprise Sleep don’t stray too far from their key riff here. Why would they? In a recent interview with NPR, Sleep revealed that ‘The Clarity’ was written in a couple of days, off the cuff, just as Adult Swim approached the band to do a single. Their comment on the near ten minute epic, “‘The Clarity’ is an exercise in musical stream of thought, as all proper music should be.”

Cloud Nothings share new video

Cloud_Nothings

Taken from one of 2014’s best albums so-far, Here and Nowhere Else, Ohio’s Cloud Nothings have released their second music video for single ‘Psychic Trauma’.

Like the song itself, the video is a nervous, neurotic journey filtered through the mind of band leader Dylan Baldi – a slightly-skewed and paranoid take on reality, with the edges blurred and the colours whitewashed. The transitions in speed skips like an anxious mind, with Baldi’s “life gets boring, it fades away” sounding like a frustrated man resigned to defeat. One of the best from a great album, stream ‘Psychic Trauma’ below.
