Suburban Robot is taken from the new Girl One & The Grease Guns/Jen Schande split single that is out now on Squirrel Records. It’s a fine slab of synth inspired post punk a sound which Girl One & The Grease Guns have made their own during the past year or two. Dig that robot! Pick it up on limited edition orange vinyl direct from the label. Facebook Continue reading Girl One & The Grease Guns – Suburban Robot

It’s like 1990 around here and in more ways than one. Whilst JMRS take their own track turning into one that reminds me the hazy laid back Balearic sound it also features one Andy Bell of the recently reformed Ride who hit their stride around the same time.

Blimey – where has the month gone? I know I have been busy at work but. Anyway here is a round up of what I have been listening too these past few weeks. And if you want to listen whilst you read (or just listen) here is a Minlogs playlist covering tracks from this post. I am sure you have heard it already but if not The Radio Dept. released their first single in four years Death to Fascism at the beginning of the month to coincide with the Swedish general election. Mighty fine it is too (as well as … Continue reading September Round-Up
Back in the day when shambling bands were the rage I also enjoyed listening to Industrial/Electronic Body Music and the gloomier the better. Guilt Culture by Multiple Man reminds me of that time. It’s very gothic with a hint of what sounds like Asian influences in the synths towards the end. If you like bands like A Split Second this will be right up your street. Out now on Detonic Recordings Facebook Soundcloud Continue reading Multiple Man – Guilt Culture
Some electronica today. The new EP from Larry Jefferson reminds me of the likes of Biosphere, Pete Namlook and those ambient compilations Apollo and Positiva used to put out. Blissful stuff.

Available digitally via Beatport. Soundcloud Continue reading Larry Jefferson – Space Missions Are Lame Now E.P & When That Day Comes EP.
