Watch: ‘Organ Donor’ by Post War Glamour Girls
Posted: 13 March 2017 in Recommended Streams and VideosTags: Organ Donor, Post War Glamour Girls, Swan Songs, video stream
Leeds Post-punk quartet Post War Glamour Girls have shared a video for their new single ‘Organ Donor’.
The video was made by the band’s own Alice Scott and James Smith and is the product of several sleepless nights staring at the glitchy, strobing visuals that accompany the track, taken from the band’s upcoming third album Swan Songs.
But enough preamble already, just watch the video here: it’s ace.
Hard-gigging NY experimental noise rock duo Cinema Cinema offer a taste of their upcoming fourth album, Man Bites Dog with the streaming track ‘Taxi Driver’.
Writing for the album began after the band returned from a 50+ date North American tour, opening for Black Flag in summer 2014. The band spent time road testing the brand new material over the course of two European tours and scattered US dates in 2015, before settling back into BC Studio (Brooklyn, New York) by years’ end to start recording.
Produced by Martin Bisi (Swans, Dresden Dolls, Sonic Youth, etc.), the album is set for release on 28th April via Labelship (Vinyl/CD/Digital) in the UK/EU and Dullest Records (Cassette) in the USA.
If ‘Taxi Driver’ is in any way representative, it’ll be a belter. Check out ‘Taxi Driver’ here:
Listen: ‘Black Shimmer’ by High Plains
Posted: 25 February 2017 in Recommended Streams and VideosTags: Ambient, Black Shimmer, Cinderland, HIgh PLains, Kranky, Loscil, Mark Bridges, Scott Morgan
Scott Morgan (aka loscil) and Mark Bridges have together produced their debut album as High Plains, taking to the high altitudes of mountainous Wyoming to create a record faithful to both the grand landscapes extending below them and the rich contemporary electronic pedigree of the respective members. Titled Cinderland, the LP will be coming out via kranky in March, and ahead of its release, you can hear the track ‘Black Shimmer’, which we like very much indeed.
Listen: ‘Another Day Slips Away’ by R. Stevie Moore and Jason Falkner

In a partnership with Lost Colony Music, Bar None Records is releasing the improbable-in-concept yet perfect-in-practice collaboration between Moore & power pop icon Jason Falkner. Make It Be will be released on Friday, March 10, 2017. The majority of songs were composed by Moore with one Falkner composition, a Roger Ferguson/Moore cowrite, a surprising cover of ‘Don’t You Just Know It’, and five co-writes between the two sprinkled throughout.
Ahead of the album’s release, they’ve posted a stream of ‘Another Day Slips Away’ by way of a taster, and you can listen to it here:

Listen: ‘The Mound’ by Girls in Synthesis
Posted: 18 February 2017 in Recommended Streams and VideosWe love a scuzzy, messed-up, lo-fi, post-punk, no-wave racket here at Aural Aggro. There’s no shortage of bands around who fit the bill, but the email that alerted us to the existence of London trio Girls in Synthesis, and the imminent release of their debut single, double A-side ‘The Mound / Disappear’ (set for release on March 17th) made our day.
Listen here and you’ll easily get why:
