Something new

I can’t wait for the start of summer, I am bored of grimy East London evenings - i lust for the long summer nights on bicycles with preddy girls and summer fruits. Until then something rather lovely from Hyener (pronounced) which feels like the Cure and a little XX in the vocal with a tad [...]

Silk Flowers

Hailing from New York rather than the backstreets of Northern England, Silk Flowers amalgamate the sounds of Joy Division and Salem in a rather lucid fashion on this track, whilst other tracks are far less forthcoming and hail to minimalism over post punk sounds. Soon to be released by the very fine ears over at [...]

Fits my mood perfectly.

Taken from their new album ‘End Times’ out in January. I’ve always loved The Eels, always maintained a soft inner core for their portrail of life confusions. This track doesn’t sum up the sound of the entire record but it’s a great place to start.

Made in Eastern Europe to feel like a latino love god

Does the thought of HEALTH going truly neo-italo-disco terrify you? Does it make each and every hair on your body collectively stand to attention and look up towards the sun? No need to be anxious, no need to accommodate those pangs of nervous anxiety instead clear your mind, clear your body, take that final gulp [...]

I say ‘Hey Dude, have you checked out [...]

Welcome to 88 days in my veins. We usually write from London. Although sometimes we're caught between Brighton, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and Great Malvern.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. Kurt Vonnegut

If there is something that you love. Or something you hate. Or if we have posted a track that you'd rather us not feature please contact us.
