Neuromantics – ‘Clarity’ Single Release
“Neuromantic’s third single ‘Clarity’ blends intricately woven guitar melodies, feel good vocals, smooth reverberating bass and groovy drum lines to create a catchy, edgy, and memorable tune. Frontman Daniel Pye says “Clarity encourages a path centred on facing your fears and inner demons, exploring and making the most of the opportunities that come along in life, and having the strength to engage in the life for you, not society’s expectations of who or what you should be”.
The track is accompanied by an official music video that cuts between the evening adventures of two strikingly different yet potentially closely intertwined individuals whose respective evenings slowly turn sour until a chance encounter brings them together. The video poignantly incorporates dreamlike flash-forward sequences of a possible alternate life together as the characters navigate the struggles, pain, and uncertainty of their present reality.
Clarity combines intelligent melodic layers, memorable lyrics, and careful attention to detail to ultimately forge another strong track from this emerging outfit.”

MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST GRANDMA REVEALS “ELASTIC” FEATURING ATLANTA RAPPER HANZO
Grandma on “Elastic”: “One rainy day in Atlanta, Hanzo came over to my house and while I was looking for a project to work on I came across a beat I made a while ago. He insisted on getting his hands on it. Moments later he sends back the beat break you can here from 1:15 through the last verse. We splice his version back with the original and record vocals right then and there. That was the birth of Elastic, a song about online relationships and never worrying.”

PUMAROSA RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE “FALL APART”
From the very first beat of “Fall Apart,” anyone familiar with Pumarosa can tell that a transformation has taken place. With a fast drum’n’bass inspired tattoo beating urgently beneath a sawing riff and a wide, synthesised expanse, this is a dramatic evolution from the band’s more guitar-driven debut, The Witch. Digging deeper into electronic influences ranging from Aphex Twin and Autreche to old jungle tunes, the shock of “Fall Apart” mirrors the irreversible shift in Pumarosa’s own circumstances: shattering diagnoses, new beginnings and a strange optimism – the promise of what can be built only after total annihilation – all fed into a record that feels like an exhilarating affirmation of life.

New Kool Keith Album Released / prod. The Beatnuts’ Psycho Les
It’s been more than forty years since Kool Herc starting throwing parties in the South Bronx, and so you could forgive the casual fan for thinking that nearly every permutation of hip-hop has already been explored.

DEAD IS THE CAT Share New Single
Dead Is The Cat share “For All We Know”, the title-track of their upcoming debut album, due August 30th.
This. Is. The. One. An indie-rock blowout, crafted from dusty vinyls dug out of strip mall record stores and decades of suburban angst left festering by the central Florida bayous. This is the sound of a band sweating it out in a garage while they toil to find the sound that is theirs. Both sides of the cat are on display here; the gentle melancholy and the outrageous groove. It’s a particularly special one for the band, songwriter and drummer Statler Gause describes it as “my favorite from the album. It sucks you in from the beginning and it just feels good from start to finish.” Keeping the bands unabashed honesty up-front, he adds, “Some people pointed out that the chords are similar to ‘1979’ by Smashing Pumpkins, to them I fart in their general direction.”
MD’s LIFETIME SHITLIST New ‘Bad Blood’ LP Out Aug. 16th on GRIMOIRE RECORDS
“…vocalist (and bassist) Ned Westrick’s punk yells are even more raw and incinerating on this new song, providing jolts of high-voltage electricity all by themselves. The song also hammers and pounds just as brutally as the title track, with the kind of rhythmic power (and mammoth low-end tone) that leaves a listener no choice but to move, interspersed with some brief stop-start breaks that make the starts sound like bombs going off. The riffs are dirty and daunting, and at times downright demented, but revert to rapid chugging grooves that are irresistible (spiced with miserable little leads).” ~ No Clean Singing
