DRUM EYES OUT NOW
19 August 2010
 Drum Eyes' first long player is out now on UTR and available in the shop - £10 postage paid in the UK.
It sees DJ Scotch Egg's drum thunder worship gang whip up a hypnotic maelstrom of tribal trip-outs, sludgy doom and weirdo Krautrock. There's been some great reviews already too from the likes of Loud & Quiet, Drowned in Sound and even NME. Check out the MP3 below for a taster!

IDIOT GLEE comes from Lexington, Kentucky, and has a sound that lies somewhere between Jens Lekman's thoughtful crooning and the classic auteur-pop of Brian Wilson or even Another Green World's Brian Eno. James Friley, who is Idiot Glee, creates songs that resemble lo-fi, fuzzy, scratchy versions of tunes from a musical about the late 1950s directed by David Lynch. Friley describes what he does as "post-doo wop", the music being light on instrumentation and heavy on vocal harmonies, it's got a similar spectral feel to Perfume Genius but also sounds deeply haunted by the ghosts of Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton and Bobby Darin. Idiot Glee has a 7" EP out now on Hop Hop from Lexington and a forthcoming single planned with Moshi Moshi. He is currently on tour in Europe with Women.

MOON UNIT are an elevating Glaswegian trio consisting of Ruaraidh Sanachan (Nackt Insecten), Andreas Jonsson (Lanterns) and Peter Kelly. Moon Unit write songs with a cosmic magnitude whilst trying to keep things as telepathic as possible. They have a debut LP available through Krayon Recordings and a new record on Blackest Rainbow called 'Hell Horse And Heady Stratus'. The five tracks on this LP make up one of the best psyche out, freak out full lengths we've heard this year. It's an incredible record filled with furiously wild drum explosions, keyboard zone outs, sci-fi guitar shredding, and wailing feedback.

SLUSHY GUTS is a deliberate stripping back to basics, a concerted effort to write a song one could whistle and an exercise in embracing fear. At once melodic and dissonant, poetic and honest, intimate and claustrophobic, Slushy Guts is awkward pop music, naked and uncomfortable, a bundle of subtle unease and a maze of contradictions, a too long sentence, a load of heartfelt non-sense. It tried to just be happy but got confused and came out kinda sad. The recent 'LIV EATT HEW IND MILL' EP and the '5 Songs Forgotten Or Mum's Obviously Punked' CD-R are available now through Chaos Vs Cosmos.
