The filthy work of Dirty Sanchez is to be revisited in a new documentary on the life and times of Matt Pritchard and Lee Dainton this winter. The Rise and Falls will reminisce how the pair met before hooking up with Pancho and Joycey to form one of the most brutal quartets born from the British skate scene.
This new flick narrated by Welsh legend Howard Marks is an hour long and laugh-a-minute. Get your mice pies around this trailer and expect gold. You can pre-order a DVD from here.
With the recent PR stunts and clues, a rare vinyl emergence and a dispute with Kanye West, it didn’t take long for fans to cotton on to the fact Aphex Twin was about to storm back into our lives after his 13 year silence. Following last months album announcement, Mr R.D. James has shared the opening track to the record online for your listening pleasure.
Unpredictably accessible for Aphex, this new track veers more towards the soft pad sounds of 1993 single ‘On’, rather than the foreboding grind of 1999’s ‘Come to Daddy’. Stream ‘minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix] [aka the manchester track]’ below.
What a great way to the end the week. Bert Wootton switches more than his name in this rad new part.
If ‘The Lords Favourite‘ didn’t give away the new territories that Iceage‘s new album will be exploring, ‘Forever’ certainly will. Who would’ve thought Iceage would be incorporating horns and strings into their music?
The Copenhagen fourpiece’s third album to date, Plowing into the Field of Love, is also said to feature elements of piano, mandolin and organ in place of their usual ear shredding guitars and crushing rhythm section. Stream ‘Forever’ below.
Plowing into the Field of Love is due October 6th via Matador Records.
