Singles That Mingle

 With Captain Stavros

 

 

BRUIT ≤ - Ephemeral 

The Age of Ephemerality Out April 25 Via Pelagic Records 

Starts out all Max Richter then slips into a bit of Danzig? 

 

 

Gus Englehorn – Metal Detector 

The Hornbook Out Now Via Secret City Records 

Noisy and at no point will the track let you become comfortable within it, cool. 

 

Mamalarky – Feels So Wrong 

New Single Out Now Via Epitaph Records 

A whimsical and catchy track, easy to dip into. Feels so RIGHT! 

 

Marie Davidson – Demolition 

City of Clowns Out February 28 Via PeeWee/Because Music 

Slams into you but doesn’t lose momentum, a wrecking-ball of a tune. 

 

Desire – The Judge 

Games People Play Out March 21 Via Italians Do It Better 

We, The Jury, find the Desire, guilty of a beguiling track. 

 

 

Femi Kuti – After 24 Years 

Journey Through Life Out April 25 Via Partisan Records 

Getting out from beneath the grey sloggy sky with this bright tune with poignant lyrics. 

 

Anika – Hearsay 

Single Out Now Via Sacred Bones Touring Yes 

Words, words, words, but such a tune, tune, tune. 

 

Holy Wave – Time Crisis Too 

Split 7 Out Now Via Suicide Squeeze Records 

A really unintrusive track that gets under the skin quickly. 

 

 

Magana – Hold On 

Bad News EP Out Now Via Audio Anti-Hero 

A mournful track with playful keys. 

Geoff Barrow is a man not just with his fingers in a lot of pies but someone with a keen interest in pies of many different varieties, and quite often, with his Midas touch, those pies turn to gold. This is clear from his work with Portishead to his recent production duties for The Horrors, where he somehow polished the turd we were expecting into a glittering torrent of My Bloody Valentine-like majesty. Signed to his label Invada, and backed by Barrow’s current pet-project BEAK>, Anika again represents another shift. Given she’s from Berlin, and Barrow’s flavour of the month seems to be Krautrock, you think you can see where this going, only to find yourself following the wrong scent entirely.
