Calmer than some tunes on the record, it nevertheless ascends gradually - but unstoppably - to a psychedelic, panicked plane, a place where the sun never shines and our mortality can no longer be ignored.

The list is the origin of culture. It's part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order — not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopaedias and dictionaries. There is an allure to enumerating how many women Don Giovanni slept with: It was 2,063, at least according to Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte. We also have completely practical lists — the shopping [...]
Been wanting to use this image by TagliaMani for a while - thanks to the ever wonderful 50 Watts . Quickly (in 20JFG time*) following on from last week's post about Peepholes ' laboratory-fresh detour, Tunnels, comes the Moon Gang s remix. Combining a decaying Techno drum sequence - seemingly heard from beneath midnight-black ocean waves - with reconstructed Chi-House synth hooks, Tunnels is turned from a cyclopean night drive into something (even) more cosmic. Which you'd expect from Moon Gangs. Katia's vocal forced into a distant endless [...]

Peepholes have announced news of an upcoming LP - Caligula will come out through Upset The Rhythm on November 28. To anyone who has heard the dark electronic sounds of the Brighton/London duo before this will be good news. Those less aware of their work need simply to hear 'Tunnels' - the excellent lead single to come from the upcoming release. Peepholes - Tunnels .co.uk | SoundCloud | Facebook
Stoked by London/Brighton duo Peepholes ' latest offering "Tunnels", the leadoff single from their forthcoming full-length Caligula . This is classic cold wave, with crystal-clear analogue synth pads, totally over-the-top vocalization and staggering, absolutely relentless drum machine backing - excessive and flamboyant yet still somehow restrained and self-controlled, probably a bit like Gordon Gekko would behave after a long day of making trouble. Caligula is out November 28 via Upset The Rhythm Peepholes - Tunnels
We're all for returns at 20JFG and friends of the family Peepholes have made many, many returns to us over the years . Like prodigal siblings returning to our bleak and unforgiving farm to be subjected to biblical metaphors…remorselessly. Having lapped up their last EP on Upset the Rhythm and it's epic closer Carnivore we feel suitably prepped for the increasingly wide pendulum swings by the band, out and away from short bursts of kinetic drum/keyboard frenzy. New mini-LP Caligula opens with another long builder, a Mayan temple of an [...]
Sometimes when I see those crazed people in the street - yelling at no-one, screaming up at bare windows, having it out with the fresh air - I wonder if maybe they're the sane ones, and it's me that's mad. Maybe they're just the chosen few with flexible enough minds that they can see the ghosts, and recognise the push and pull that most of us walk blithely by. Maybe they're enlightened, and I'm stumbling around the dark. Listening to South London act Peepholes , and their mesmerising drone-out, makes me wonder all over again. (Peepholes currently have a [...]
I don't know a whole lot about the Brighton/London duo Peepholes, other than that they well, live in Brighton and London and are named Katia Barrett and Nick Carlisle. I also know that I watched this video, for 'Ladder', and there was something about it that grabbed me immediately and then I completely forgot about [...]
We close out 2010 with a series of shout outs to the great and the good that have a special bond with 20JFG. From guest writers who've put out spectacular albums to alumni that have hopped the fence and started their own labels, with this post we salute you because we love you and we kinda' feel all proud about what you've gone and done. 20JFG doesn't do nepotism. If we did you'd see through it a mile off for we would present the damning mp3 proof with every post. So, this isn't an infected zone of back slapping, this [...]

We have a storied history with Brighton/London duo Peepholes. One of the founders of 20JFG makes music with Nick from the band as Thee Four Horsemen, a label run by some of us put out an EP by them and they've been friends of the hive mind for many years. So we're completely biased in [...]

Chew Disco From: Liverpool Liverpool has always been a hotbed of alternative music. From Deaf School to Big In Japan, from The Bunnymen/Teardop Explodes/Wah triumverate of the early 80s through the Las to The Coral and The Zutons the city has always been one step removed from the mainstream and the music has been all the better for it. Over the past couple of years the attention of the British media has been diverted away from the Mersey and while [...]
Agape's Autocathe has been bidding its time, scratching with 8inch curved claws the walls of the corridor where the greasy detritus of last year piles up, growing, breathing through its shiny nostrils so that oxygen can be transformed into energy infecting blood pumped from a vicious heart and through a fractal spiderweb of capillaries into [...]
by john ziegler It's a question I never stop hearing (or asking): how can a band possibly stand apart amongst the hundreds of other acts in New York, let alone the world of Myspace and bedroom recording daddy-o's? Is there any real way for a band to stand out from the teeming mass of artists who play bills five or six acts deep, night after night? Does a band need a gimmick, a punny name or a sexy lead singer, or just [...]
