The low temperatures, low light, and thick fog of this November seem to have seeped into our Spotify playlist. It features greyscale post-rock, dark ambience, and a band called Have a Nice Life that sound like they want you to have anything but. It’s not a total downer though- just try listening to that Jail Socks song without nodding your […]

Read moreLakes might have chosen an unremarkable yet oft-used moniker but it’s pretty much the only foot the Watford six-piece have put wrong since forming in 2017. Their debut full-length, each track named after a lake, natch, is polished emo for fans of TTNG, Owen, and Into It, Over It. Glockenspiel!
Read moreAhead of the release of their debut album ‘Don’t Remember Me For This’ on October 25th via Golden Antenna, Philadelphia-based trio Timelost have released a suitably raucous video for the track ‘Heart Garbage’. Get into it.
Read moreMaybe it’s the rain outside my window, maybe it’s the state of western politics, or, just maybe, it’s the apparently unstoppable, slow, steady demise of the planet, but there’s more bitter, twisted and angry content on this month’s playlist than the few before it combined. I hope you find some catharsis or at least turn it up so loud you […]
Read moreOne-man studio-based post-rock passion-projects tend to power-surge my love-buzz. Kota Kota, the chosen moniker of Leeds-based artists Michael Holmes, is no exception. His debut album is a bass-heavy, propulsively-paced many-textured journey for fans of late Maybeshewill, early 65daysofstatic, and dreams of flying.

Read moreEven if you’re not familiar with Andy Stack’s name, there’s a chance you’ll know his work. He has spent the last decade as one half of indie-folk duo Wye Oak, toured with members of The National, performed with Lambchop and Shearwater and more, and composed music for film and television. Now though, he has struck out on his own as […]

Read moreThe 1990s are well and truly back. And while this is terrible news for, well, pretty much everything, a thin sliver of hope can be found in modern bands taking inspiration from that decade’s now-classic post-hardcore sounds.
