Mandy, Indiana – Life Hex

I really didn’t get on with Mandy, Indiana” celebrated debut i’ve seen a way, at all, despite multiple listens and various people telling me how brilliant it was. Their new album URGH, however, has definitely got me. Written during a residency outside Leeds and completed between Berlin and Manchester – with the band working through ongoing some pretty significant health issues at the time – URGH moves between industrial pressure, fractured club textures and metal (probably?), creating moments that feel both at times deeply claustrophobic, at others spacious yet still uneasy. But most prominently of all, it’s ragey – in a very satisfying way.

Prurient – Poison Apple

As Halloween approaches, I’d like to recommend this terrifying album from Prurient, Noise For Halloween Night. Lock the doors, turn the lights off, listen loud and have a panic attack. Happy Friday! 🖤

Madeleine Cocolas – Drift

It’s always nice to find an album that so unnerving I need a couple of breaks to get through it. Madeleine Cocolas’ latest LP Bodies set out to explore similarities between bodies of water and human bodies and to blur the boundaries between them, incorporating sounds of water Madeliene recorded on trips to the Australian coastline as well as creeks and waterfalls in Far North Queensland. Drift, with its bubbling, optimistic lead line, is probably the most accessible track. Elsewhere things get very intense very quickly.

7038634357 – Winded

As a result of the deep calm I felt after the first few minutes of listening this, I was very much unprepared for its final third. I won’t spoil the surprise.

Vladislav Delay – Rasite

Rasite is the final track on Vladislav Delay’s album Rakka which came out in February this year. A few brief digressions into fairly gentle ambient aside, it’s a incredibly intense LP packed full of white noise, industrial screeches and thunderous low-end. Rasite is probably the most full-on track on here: a punishing and cathartic end to a visceral listening experience. Happy Friday!
