Lifted from last year’s ‘Night Tides’ EP, which very much got our vote, the rippling trancegaze electroambient ‘Coral Sea’ has now been paired with a video. It’s gloriously mellow, and you can watch it here.

Listen: ‘The Heavy Hoof’ by Eagle Twin
Posted: 5 March 2018 in Recommended Streams and VideosTags: Eagle Twin, Heavy, Riff, single stream, Sludge, Southern Lord, The Heavy Hoof
Salt Lake City-based duo Eagle Twin share ‘The Heavy Hoof’ from their incoming and third album, The Thundering Heard (Songs Of Hoof And Horn), due out on March 30th via Southern Lord.
About the track Gentry Densley comments,”The Heavy Hoof is the first Eagle Twin song we ever wrote so it has been something we have played throughout the years but never properly recorded until now. Its a simple ditty, that has only gotten heavier over time, all about death and the devil and all that good stuff! Its also about, you know, leaving your particles tingling, dancing in space, after your consciousness has been trampled."
‘The Heavy Hoof’ is heavy alright: get your lugs round it here:

Let’s skip the preamble: we fucking love Cannibal Animal. Their latest effort, ‘Ellipsisism’, released on 16th March through Warren Records is a snaking goth-tinged swamp-surf garage rattler that calls to mind the spirit of the late 70s and early 80s with haunting, echo-drenched guitars and frenzied vocals. But we don’t need to talk it up. Just listen to this:

Watch: ‘May Love Be With You Always’ by Centuries – Tour Dates Announced with Portrayal of Guilt
Posted: 15 February 2018 in Recommended Streams and VideosTags: Centuries, Heavy, May Love Be With You Always, Portrait of Guilt, Southern Lord, Tour Dates, video stream
Centuries have premiered a video from their second LP, The Lights Of This Earth Are Blinding out now through Southern Lord. Set to the album track ‘May Love Be With You Always’, the video was filmed and edited by Derrick Flanagin, and uses footage from Germany, Italy, Austria, India, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan.
In the band’s words, "the video is about human movement and the constant inertia we experience, frequently without taking time to properly reflect on it. Things we see, people we meet, places we go, stories we are told; events that are so fleeting they often don’t become catalogued in our memory and will forever exist only in that moment."
Watch the video below – tour dates in full after.

Listen: ‘Mx Liberty’ by Thurston Moore
Posted: 3 February 2018 in Recommended Streams and VideosTags: Limited 7" single, Metal Urbain, Mx Liberty, My Bloody Valetine, Radieux Radio, Sonic Youth, Thurston Moore
February 19th sees Blank Editions release a very limited and hand assembled seven inch single from their Stoke Newington neighbour, Thurston Moore, to coincide with Not My President Day.
‘Mx Liberty’ raises its torch of truth and justice, as the poet Radieux Radio and Thurston Moore unleash a punk rock broadside to the current man-boys of the USA government in response to their mockery of democracy. The lyrics (included in a collage insert with the single, which also includes a pin badge) describe ‘Mx Liberty’ climbing over any and all fences with our so-called “enemies” in a radical heaven.
Thurston, with members of his London-based group, Deb Googe (My Bloody Valentine), James Sedwards (Nøught) and Jem Doulton (Dead Days Beyond Help), recorded the music in a studio near the early ‘70s HQ of Britain’s Angry Brigade on Amhurst Road, N16. This non-violent group of anarchists, poets and writers of resistance remain a source of radical inspiration for Thurston and Radieux.
On the flip is ‘Panik’, Thurston’s cover of one of the great generation zero punk rock records of all time. Originally recorded by the legendary Metal Urbain from the 1977 streets of Paris. Burning with insolence and primal angst energy, its lyrics are even more pertinent today in the face of contempo-demagoguery.
The sew single will be available from Blank Editions at their Stoke Newington HQ here:
Limited Edition 7” Package Contains:
– 7” Single
– Lyric Sheet Insert (Designed by Thurston Moore)
– Risograph Printed / Hand folded Covers
– Download Code
– 25mm Pin Badge
Listen: ‘Point Scorer’ by Bearfoot Beware
Posted: 23 January 2018 in Recommended Streams and VideosTags: Bearfoot Beware, Chunk, Leeds, Point Scorer, track stream
Bearfoot Beware have come a long way from their scrappy, DIY beginnings. They’ve shared stages with luminaries like Future of the Left, played on the BBC Introducing stage at Reading and Leeds, and toured all over mainland Europe. Now, after years on the road they’re back with their most coherent sonic manifesto in the shape of second album, Sea Magnolia.
Eschewing for the most part their crossover punk-meets-math of their early recordings and debut LP, Sea Magnolia is a much more heavy-hitting release that doesn’t feel the need to overcomplicate for the sake of egos. “The heavier tunes are where we had the most fun” they say, linking this change in their sound to “a lot of the music that surrounds us down at CHUNK [collective, a space which the band co-founded] and in the Leeds Music Community.”
Lyrically, this aggression is felt as well. “It’s angry but not hateful,” they explain, “anger is a tool you can use to express yourself but hate is a weapon.” The simple fact was that “creating something way more direct and focused this time meant this time the lyrics felt like they needed that too.”
They’ve unveiled ‘Point Scorer’ as a taste for Sea Magnolia, and you can listen to it here:
Sea Magnolia is out on 16th March via Superstar Destroy Records.

South London duo VLMV (FKA Alma) have announced their new album ‘Stranded, Not Lost’ will be released on Fierce Panda on the 16th Feb.
They’ve shared this exciting news with new music in the form of beautiful single ‘All These Ghosts’ with an accompanying live video shot at The Nave in Leeds.
VLMV is made up of Pete Lambrou of Codes In The Clouds & Monsters Build Mean Robots and Ciaran Morahan, also of Codes In The Clouds. They’ve describe themselves as "ambient-ish, post-something” their music is beautiful and spacious ambient post-rock.
‘Stranded, Not Lost’ is a gorgeous and moving record replete with the kind of brooding, ambient soundscapes, soaring vocals and crashing intensity that have earned the band a small legion of dedicated fans and recent tours supporting the likes of post-rock stalwarts Nordic Giants.

We like Rachel Mason here at AA. Her latest offering, a stand-alone release apart from her recent album Das Ram, is a sample-soaked collage that laves no question over her stance on the current President of the US. It’s not surprising it’s racking up the hits on YouTube. It certainly gets our vote… and you can watch it here:
