WOMPS - Live A Little Less / Dreams On Demand 7"

A month ago I discovered WOMPS and since then, I fell in love with their crazy garage rock with a pinch of grunge. Owen and Ewan return to the fray releasing their debut AA side 7" via Damnably Records, which was produced by Steve Albini.

Besides meet 'Live A Little Less', where they mention the Speedy Ortiz style together with FIDLAR and the first Yuck, with a lo-fi acute despair to the microphone with a pop sensibility to receive 'Dreams On Demand', which keeps the spirit of Cloud Nothings, but in a way more danceable than its parent, which is encouraging itself, insomuch they reach a punk sound with which it's easy to lose the head.

Kagoule - Urth

Nine months later after Cai Burns, Lucy Hatter and Lawrence English published 'Gosh' in their soundcloud account, they release their debut album "Urth", via Earache Recordings. This lead single is also the opening song of the album, carrying themselves to the shovel inside 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', taking also all the grunge style which involved Nirvana, while avoiding both anguish and the instrumental degradation. Cai melancholic voice is supported by Lucy to seek balance between between the insanity of their music with their eloquent lyrical, a way to respond to 'Adjust The Way'.

Forgetting the previous songs, 'Glue' is a dark alt-rock with a deliberate pose on vocals, done pop, as in 'Damp Sand' but this time, the voices of the couple are faltering with a psychedelic s aesthetic, coming closer to chaos and positions with Ariel Pink.

Infinity Girl - Harm

Nolan, Kyle, Mitchell and Sebastian are Infinity Girl, band based in Brooklyn, NY, after they have been part of the Boston underground scene, filling their life with a different musical lessons until today, the day when Topshelf Records releases "Harm".

The opening flutes from 'Hesse' disappear quickly to make way for an intense a noisy shoegaze, gradually losing its identity to the detriment of Speedy Ortiz and a poppy grunge, reaching madness through the 'Where Is My Mind' Pixies guitars, also founded in 'Firehead', sounding with a space psychedelic accent which highlight the depressive lyrics tone from Yuck.

WOMPS

Once upon a time a Glaswegian band called Algernon Doll recorded records and played shows from 2010 to 2015. From it ashes WOMPS was born and as the dead band, Ewan Grant (guitars/vocals) and Owen Wicksted (drums) are playing together in a more powerful direction, as reflects 'Live A Little Less', their first official single after it publication as acoustic version, together with 'Downstairs' and 'Ritalin', their other two songs published in their bandcamp account. This single will be published as a double A-side 7", together with 'Dreams On Demand' in Damnably Records on September 18 and produced by Steve Albini.
