Pillow Queens bring an amazing year to a close by announcing a UK and Irish winter tour, including their London return on November 17 in Oslo Hackney. To mark the occasion, they've put together a music video for live favourite 'Puppets'.

The video sees a washed up puppet take a trip down memory lane towards a brighter time in her life - a time when she was the fifth member of Pillow Queens - successful through the ages. After being kicked out of the band due to some bad life decisions, Connie the puppet decides to take her future with the band into her own hands, editing herself into a music video.

The video was shot over a weekend in Arklow by Dublin based videographers The Reelists and Connie the Puppet was handcrafted by Music City frontman Conor Lumsden.

Alien Sex Fiend present their brand-new studio album, Possessed. The latest outer-sonic instalment of their 35 year trip into the far out and unthinkable.

“The first new album since 2010’s hugely successful Death Trip, and heavily dosed with ASF’s genre-defying collage of pounding beats, speaker-shredding guitars, Mrs Fiend’s mutant analogue synthesisers and the surrealist chainsaw-psychiatry of frontman Nik Fiend, Possessed is a remarkable return. The unrelenting highs of ‘Shit’s Coming Down’ and ‘Carcass’…. The spaced out soundscapes of ‘Ghost In The Machine’ and the haunting ‘Neutron’…. The pulsating insistence of the epic, eleven minute ‘It’s In My Blood’ and an anthem-for-the-fucked by the name of ‘Invisible’…… this is the Fiends at their blood-curdling, mind-expanding best. TNT for the brain and battery acid for the flagging soul.”

Legendary, much loved and described by Kris Needs as ‘A British institution’, Alien Sex Fiend command a reputation and a longevity few can match; Possessed takes that reputation for horror, humour and explorations of inner turmoil and outer space to the next level – an intoxicating lesson from the originals. The list of artists inspired by the Fiends’ unique brew of heavy, lysergic sonic alchemy – whether they knew it or not – is a long one… but Alien Sex Fiend are all those in the know have ever needed.

Possessed will be preceded by ‘Shit’s Coming Down’ – watch the skies in mid-October.
