Plastic Animals – Automaton EP Plastic Animals may have a sparse, lo-fi aesthetic but they don't forget their sense of melody, as a result sounding like the filthy lovechild of The XX and Wilco. The band use ambient noise to great effect, creating a stunning textured sound. A very good EP all round, but the sprawling climaxes of Sundowning and opening track Yellowcraig make it a must-listen. Yellowraig is available to listen to on their Soundcloud page. The rest of the EP will be available here [...]
Sometimes I take the wrong message from advertising. You know those adverts where they hysterically proclaim that there are many more bacteria on your chopping board than there are on your toilet seat? Well I assume the message they are intending to put across is something like this: "Aaaagh, ohmyfuckinggod, what have I done, I've poisoned my child, I'm a SUCH A BAD MOTHER I MUST BUY MORE OF YOUR CHEMICAL SHITE!" I, on the other hand, take the message to be this, pretty much: "Ah [...]
April Fool's Day really does bore me to tears. The jokes are so weak and obvious most of the time that they really are pointless, although Avalanche's Withered Hand futon did make me laugh. It's the forced bonhomie which I find the most tedious, I have to confess. 'Oh yes, ha ha, very funny, well done you, gosh how everso fucking hilarious'. And then just occasionally you hear news, like Viva Brother splitting up which, whilst it is painfully obviously an April Fool, is just too close to real, actual good news we'd actually [...]

North American War are working with Glasgow's excellent Winning Sperm Party, and have released this EP as a free download, as WSP release all their things. Me & My G.I. Joes is all drifting atmospherics [...]
This is something I think has real promise, without necessarily saying that I personally think it is quite there yet. North American War are working with Glasgow's excellent Winning Sperm Party , and have released this EP as a free download, as WSP release all their things. This EP is all drifting atmospherics and atonal guitars, seemingly inspired by a lot of US indie music from the nineties, broken up from time to time with bursts of spasmodic, frantic drumming and disorientated fuzz. There's a disinterest to the vocals and, to a degree, to the [...]
