Opener ‘Set Guitars to Kill‘ immediately sets the album apart from previous EP’s: this is no longer a sombre affair, the band are here to raise hell, as well as destroy it. Powerful crashing drums couple with a wailing guitar siren to announce the band’s arrival as if the apocalypse is imminent. Then the rock kicks in, slaps you in the cranium and next thing you know, you find yourself dancing along, regardless of the restrictions of the world around you. The frantic pace continues with the second track ‘A Little Solidarity Goes a Long Way‘. Chaotic drumming, epic reverberating guitars, all centred around a seriously addictive riff, which soon breaks down into a melodic fluffy moment before ripping back in towards a mammoth climax.

Elsewhere on the album there’s no shortage of variety. ‘Start a Band‘ brings to mind the band’s punk roots, whilst ‘I Capture Castles‘ will please fans of early era Explosions in the Sky. ‘Clench Fists, Grit Teeth…GO!‘ sounds as evil, burly and aggressive as its title would suggest, and ‘If It Ain’t Broke, Break It‘ is a mash of frenzied rhythms and daunting riffs. The guys also show they certainly know how to throw a musical party, with the vocal chants and cowbell (!) on ‘Don’t Waste Time Doing Things You Hate‘ sounding like the apocalypse’s euphoric after-party, almost guaranteed to stimulate a huge cheesy grin on your mug.

Finally, the band sees the party off with two very different but equally brilliant moments. Classic fan favourite ‘The Voiceless‘ has never sounded as good as it does on this album. Beautiful guitar melodies, keyboard plonks and a blissful breakdown show that underneath the band’s aggression there is still a heart that has the ability to produce something wonderfully dreamy and moving. The album finishes with ‘Eat the City, Eat it Whole‘, an uplifting opus of movements comprising feelings of hope, panic, calm and finally balls out brutal destruction.

Its easy to picture a band such as this going places in the future, despite being a solely instrumental band, thanks to the drive and passion these guys show for not only playing music, but for being involved and helping others alongside them walk the walk. In a genre becoming increasingly stale, its great to see a band break down the boundaries and push forward with an album of such original sound and style. As the title of one track implies, “If It Ain’t Broke, Break It” – thankfully, they really have.

In the last few years 65daysofstatic have played over
10million shows around the world. Their blend of glitchy dance
music and deafening, soaring guitars has left thousands of
converts in their wake. Three albums in, and 65daysofstatic
are currently locked away in Sheffield battling with the
writing for their fourth album. Last year, most of their time
was taken up supporting The Cure on their world tour. Rolling
up to arenas and blasting their confusing noise at shows full
of unsuspecting Cure fans, was an immensely satisfying
experience. For a long time they suspected that just because
they don’t have any singing and sometimes play in weird time
signatures, their music shouldn’t be consigned exclusively to
bedrooms and club shows to the passionate few. It bounces
around in stadiums nicely too. The World Tour came to an end
with two shows in New York City, at 2 of the most prestigious
venues the US has to offer - Madison Square Garden and Radio
City Music Hall. Both shows were recorded and the result is
the bands first live album. A 45 minute rush of tinnitus,
contrary techno, fragile guitars, anti-social drum’n'bass in
7/4 and, if you listen carefully, the sound of 20,000 people
finding rooms in their heads they never knew were there.

LIGHT UNDER WATER is a Moscow-based collaborative project by guitarists Dima T. Pilot and A.B. (both are the core members of BOSCH’S WITH YOU) and keyboardist Nick Zavriev (of AMBIDEXTROUS). Since 2006, the trio (or sometimes LUW appears as a guitar-duo) has been exploring areas of melodic electro-acoustic ambient, emotive organic drone, sonic minimalism, and eschatological psychodelia. By building and layering substantial resonant abstractions, LUW’s delusive imagery transcends the reality in a truly beautiful and unpredictable way.

Just in time for their 10-year anniversary, MONO return with their fifth
studio album, the absolutely massive Hymn To The Immortal Wind.

After touring almost non-stop for five years, the band hibernated for over a
year to focus solely on writing Hymn. The result is their most thoughtful and
eclectic album to date. Written and arranged with a hopeful, romantic
narrative in mind, the songs string together like chapters in an epic love
story. The music is naturally majestic, with MONO’s trademark wall of noise
crashing beautifully against the largest chamber orchestra the band has ever
enlisted. The instrumentation is vast, incorporating strings, flutes, organ,
piano, glockenspiel and tympani into their standard face-melting set-up.

Recorded to analog tape with long-time friend and producer Steve Albini,
there is an intimacy captured here that is at once beautiful and a little
terrifying. The creaking of old wooden chairs as the orchestra rocks in their
seats (both literally and figuratively), puckered lips rolling along flutes,
and even the conductor’s opening cue can be heard during the hauntingly quiet
opening moments

While Hymn continues to mine the cinematic drama inherent in all of MONO’s
music, the dynamic shifts now come more from dark-to-light instead of
quiet-to-loud. The maturity to balance these elements so masterfully has
become MONO’s strongest virtue.
