Bloom Twins new single ‘Set Us Free’ is out on Friday. The sisters offer up haunting vocals set against pulsating electro beats. “It was the first track we wrote after returning from Ukraine where we got stuck for half a year during the uprising. The track is not political at all, rather a call for freedom, but it was certainly influenced by everything that was happening in Ukraine and the fact that we couldn't come back to our new home - London”.

Following their packed-out gig at Birthdays, Dalston, in July they have announced a London headline show on Tuesday December 13 in Nambucca. Their debut album, produced by Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes, will be out in 2017.

Born and raised in a small town outside Kiev in Ukraine, 20-year-old identical twins, Sonia and Anna Kuprienko, are both classically trained. After releasing their debut track ‘Fahrenheit’, Bloom Twins also completed arena tours of the UK and Italy with Duran Duran.

Listen to ‘Set Us Free’ here 

Dealing in sweaty groove and physical menace, Sex Swing are the British underground supergroup of Tim Cedar (keyboards), formerly of Ligament, who fronts Part Chimp and runs Dropout Studios in Camberwell; Jason Stoll (bass) is a member of revered Liverpool psych champions Mugstar, Colin Webster (sax) is involved with a plethora of free jazz projects, Dan Chandler (vocals) sang in the masterful Dethscalator and Stu Bell (drums) played in the same and Gin Palace, while newest addition Jodie Cox (guitar) currently also plays with Seattle drone metal overlords Earth.

Forged from the sum total of five distinct personalities with a welter of experience making wildly different music of various vivid hues, Sex Swing are a unique proposition. Forming in 2014, intense improvisational sessions in South London ensued and the result is an album which is a heady combination of Suicide, Joy Division, The Thing, Black Metal Raccoons, Motorhead, and Portishead.

They combine heinous volume, brute rhythmic throb and a twisted noise, which is crushingly disorientating while still being pretty good to dance to. Burning with distortion, flagellating peels of sax and synth debasement, they are the result of an intense musical coupling between five veterans of experimental noise rock.
