STRONG ASIAN MOTHERS NEW VIDEO

Their blend of styles and emphatic live show has been making waves on London’s underground gig scene for a while, and now the band are about to step firmly in to the limelight.

The new video for ‘Out Of Love’ showcases the band’s live credentials in spectacular fashion. Speaking a little more on their decision behind opting for a live video for their first *official* video, the band said: “On record we use a variety of synths, live samples, live instruments and electronic and acoustic drums. But one third of us happens to be the greatest drummer alive and so our live set up is distinctly different to our record. We have Josh on a full drum kit playing a variety of samples alongside his real kit for the extra explosive percussive element. We have also created a live show and chosen certain instruments and roles in order to create a show where every single member is seen as an irreplaceable “front man” in their own right. We felt that this was something really important to convey. So with all this in mind and with the small budget we had, we decide to do a live session. But not any session, a live session Strong Asian Mothers style. ”

THE MYRRORS PREMIERE IMMERSIVE, INTRICATE “LIBERTY IS IN THE STREET” AT NEW NOISE MAGAZINE

There’s a confounding nature to the comfort constructed by The Myrrors throughout the flawless forty minutes of Entranced Earth, the third full-length album from the transcendentally-tuned, Tucson desert die-hards (and their second for Beyond Beyond Is Beyond Records). Those looking for terra firma – for ground not given to staggering shifts, for easily grasped handholds, for the force of gravity as we know it – are likely to find the album an often-groundless experience. But for listeners willing to give themselves over to the landscape presented on Entranced Earth, the reward lies in the discovery of new lands, and the sound of a band operating at the peak of their powers.

As the album’s opening track, “Loner”represents the start of the album’s spiritual journey of self-discovery. Debuted today by VIBE, “Loner” is less a Hip-Hop track than a tribal hymn, with deep-voiced chanting in the South African Zulu male choral singing style popularized by Ladysmith Black Mombazo, as Sylvan and Linzi Jai implore the listener to “open your eyes.” In their album premiere, The FADER praised “Loner” saying the track, “sounds like the universe is swallowing you up while you watch the stars glisten.”

MISS LAVA NEW VIDEO

“Loud is the operative descriptor for this four-minute psychedelic rock rager,” writes Decibel. “Drenched in acidfuzz and nostalgia of film techniques (or decay?) from decades past, ‘The Silent Ghost Of Doom’ will most certainly break up the tedium of your nine-to-five. Or add further injection of hallucinatory, trip-inducing heavy rocking, if that’s your sort of thing.”

MINT JULEP SHARES DREAMY NEW VIDEO FOR “WHITE HOT HEART” VIA BULLETT

BULLETT has premiered the brand new video for Mint Julep’s esoteric “White Hot Heart”, a dreamy video that tells a tale of enduring, ageless love. “We approached P3 about doing a video for this song because we knew they’d have a great take on the song both visually and story-telling-wise,” Keith Kenniff, aka Goldmund & Helios, says of the video.“We didn’t talk too much about particulars before starting because we really just wanted them to let loose and do their thing. Hollie’s lyrics for the song are fairly vague based on a hypothetical relationship, but when we saw the story they developed it made a lot of sense and we really loved the way it was filmed…even though it was shot in the dead of winter, it made us feel all warm and fuzzy.”
