As much as the expression's strange, it's easy to see why South London duo Gentle Friendly 's sound is described as "junked up". Their songs can sound at time like a hastily-glued-together set of sounds and vocals spat out at random by a sample machine: jarring and jagged. But gradually these noises become easier to digest, as if one as has attuned to the frequency, or learned the language. A new-ish mini-EP, Rrrrrrr , is out now on Upset The Rhythm , featuring these two numbers... Speakers by gentlefriendly [...]
Palmist have got their latest split 12'' in the bag and ready to release into the wild on December 12. It features tracks from Dustin Wong and Gentle Friendly and you can listen to a song from each below.
Lana del Rey/Lizzy Grant/whoever she's choosing to be contemporarily, the artificial product of anti-inspiration, may well be shuffling about, spluttering, and muttering calculatedly and choreographically if awkwardly in front of regurgitated Tumblr GIFs a few hundred metres down the road, yet exceedingly more cataclysmic furore is to unravel tonight up towards the anything but heavenly Angel, à la upstairs at The Lexington. More twisted and crazed than the minds of del Rey's coldblooded label dictators are Gentle Friendly , who trash out an almost constant, unabating stream of [...]

this would have been bloody wonderful to see. street of crocodiles is probably the best thing on their collected short film bfi box set. and one of my favourite bits of animation. with a nice bit of orchestral hum from bleeding heart narrative too. beautiful rusted ballet it is... and some more musical quaying, this time with gentle friendly ...

You'd think that being stranded in Kings Cross for 6 hours, fighting 4000 passengers and a hipster, would be worth it. I honestly don't see why I bother with Christmas, from my 25 year old Muslim uncle that tells me off for wanting a career and not being able to cook, to my Aunt who sprays me unconscious with a glitter can. At least it's somewhat entertaining when you have your Grandma singing to the blaring hits of Susan Boyle (who I initially thought was Celine Dion) for an hour straight only to later pass out. As you can see [...]

If you follow new music at all, you've surely run into the trendy "lo-fi" movement by now. Now, if you are old like me, you will remember the "lo-fi" movement of the early 1990's courtesy of bands like Sebadoh and their four-track recorders. Well, the old trusty four tracks have been upgraded to GarageBand and the like. As with most genres, there's a ton of copy-cat junk out there now, but there are always some gems as well. As the Internet Forever tag line goes - "Good at Songs, Bad at Fidelity" [...]
Trailer Trash Tracys are releasing Candy Girl 73 on Monday 14th September through No Pain In Pop. We love TTT | We love No Pain In Pop | Preorder We also love Gentle Friendly. When people say to me, 'Hey 88days Pea, why arent there any good bands around anymore'? I say 'Hey Dude, have you checked out the brand new SHITBALLCANNONRUNNER LP'? ...and they say, 'NO' then I say '...but like srsly, check out Gold Panda, TTT, GF, HEALTH, and Coldplay and you [...]
Gentle Friendly , two lads from London, recently released a couple of free tracks from their forthcoming debut album, 'Ride Slow', which is due out on October 19th via Upset The Rhythm Records. I am not well acquainted with Gentle Friendly but from what I've heard thus far, the duo seems to incorporate A.D.D like symptoms into their music. Their synth heavy, lo-fi sound can get a bit noisy at times, but if you stick with it, and listen closely, a premeditated cadence just might reveal itself. Take A Listen to Gentle [...]
I was intrigued when I read about a London band called Gentle Friendly who was being compared to Animal Collective, No Age, and Fuck Buttons. Not because I like those three bands (I treat them all like a casual pot smoker treats bud), but because I like the style. I like the idea of waves of slightly abrasive sound swirling together to make something beautiful and complicated. On first listen, Gentle Friendly is not my new favorite band. Then again, this seems like the type of music that takes more than one listen to really wrap [...]
Here is a wee taster of the vast sound this duo have been producing on their South London sound farm.
London's Gentle Friendly have a new single out on Upset The Rhythm , and the label's made both tracks (along with artwork and lyrics ) available for free download . The group makes the kind of uniquely blissful, slightly unhinged layered noise that's already elicited comparisons to the likes of Animal Collective, Fuck Buttons, No Age, the Ghostbusters ride , etc., without sounding particularly like any of those things. Both tracks will also appear on Gentle Friendly's debut full-length, Ride Slow , due on Upset the [...]
Gentle Friendly - Clean Breaker
A Joyful Noise is a 1980 documentary about Sun Ra and an accurate description of these amazing songs from Gentle Friendly's forthcoming album. While this crackpot pair don't share the astral obsessions of Saturn's son they do possess some of his manic energy, playing like a bagful of bees let loose in a junk shop. Drive Slow is going to be one ecstatic racket.
