In Capital drop new single Little Architect
Overflowing with ’80s synthpop hooks and irresistible beats, In Capital’s debut album Human Is bridges the space between ambitious studio project and dance floor masterpiece with effortless stride. The first full-length release from Melbourne musicians Nick Jenkin and Cameron Ford, Human Is delivers a dopamine hit of pure music bliss as it winds its way from anthem to anthem.
Opening with the mesmerising ambience of Universal Man, Human Is covers a tremendous amount of creative ground. Each song feels to continue on from the last, yet takes you to somewhere entirely new – from the synthwave perfection of Afterthoughts, to the gentle, rising strings of first single Little Architect. Following an uplifting Interlude, the album embarks upon its stirring second half… nestling the brooding C.O.A.L.A. and Dark Horse amidst NM’s smouldering remix of Underground. As the final note of the album’s beautiful closer Of A Fire On The Moon fades out, the grandeur of Human Is is impossible to deny.

WEDGE stream new album “Killing Tongue” before its release on HPS Records
WEDGE’s frontman Kiryk Drewinski tells us more about “Killing Tongue” : “Although we obviously love vintage music we wanted the new record to sound also fresh and not as garagey as our debut. Overall recording “Killing Tongue” was a quite different experience compared to cutting the first album, which we did mainly live in just a few days at our rehearsal room. With the new album we had the opportunity to make use of a proper studio, equipped with all kinds of vintage analog goodies. Because of that we were able to arrange and produce some of the songs with less limitations and just the way we had imagined them in our heads, using a bunch of instruments and sounds which we don’t use live. On the other hand we had the freedom to play nearly all of the tracks in concerts for quite a while prior to recording, which we consider a huge luxury. Having unrecorded tunes in our live set enabled us to “test” and develop them first. Usually bands are forced to put out albums at a certain time rate so it’s not surprising that the first few albums of many bands are among their best. This is exactly due to the fact that those albums consist of the groups’ live material. We had no need to “fill in any gaps” but instead picked the songs for the record that worked best live, enhancing them with some nice overdubs here and there. All in all the new record is a good blend between straight forward fuzz rockers that work live as a trio and more elaborated stuff. We are very happy with the outcome of “Killing Tongue” and hope you will enjoy the album as well. ”
