Soviet Soviet - Ecstasy

Tiny Spiders

English: 

Elliot, Francis, Maxime and Simon could have met on the night of October 2nd 1988 in Middlesex, Virginia. Meeting outside a Wipers concert, they would have then started a band with a raw sound chiseled by post-punk guitars and analog synths. 

Instead, it is in Paris in 2012 that they combined their love of the guitars from Cleaners From Venus, the melancholy of The Cure and the synths of Fad Gadget and Oppenheimer Analysis to create a new band; Rendez-Vous. 

The 4 boys deliver a tight sound that vacillates between spontaneous bursts of energy and a catchy dark melodic pop ambience. Heavily influenced by both the naivete of the 80s and the resonance of the 90s. Their track "Donna" sounds like it could be blasting out of Donnie Darko's Walkman. 

Rendez-Vous is releasing their debut EP November 25 on Zappruder Records.

Dissemble press release:

“I don't have any repressed emotions that I know of. The world I write about is a jaded version of reality, but where it comes from isn't quite apparent to me yet”

Following the release of two self-titled EPs over the past 12 months, AUTOBAHN announce details of debut album, Dissemble, out on 21st August via Tough Love. Dissemble was recorded with Matt Peel at The Nave, a hometown studio situated in the wholly appropriate setting of a disused church. The band co-produced the record with Peel over six intense weeks at the start of 2015, dedicating all of their time to the studio and taking potentially unhealthy cues from the legacy of notorious obsessive, Martin Hannett. The result is an album that pushes the band through various degrees of light and shade, but ultimately into new, unexpected sonic spaces.  

“You need to remember all of this world I write about is a warped reality of people I've known or experiences I've been in. I think you can just tell when a bands from Leeds, can't you?”
Motivated by the encouragement of a supportive local scene, AUTOBAHN formed in Leeds in early 2013, and immediately began playing live across the north of England. Those early forays across the Pennines were vital in not only helping the band form their own sound, but also hold a symbolic role in understanding their genesis. The North as both idea and identity is integral to what AUTOBAHN are, where post-industrial landscapes intersect with sudden wide open spaces, a place where community is central, but loneliness can be palpable. There’s a dark, oppressive edge to their music, but a hopefulness too. Sisters of Mercy, yes, but also brothers in arms. 

“The first track was intended to be a link to the past records. We leave the past behind after that.”

AUTOBAHN first came to the attention of Tough Love via a local support slot with Tampa romantics, Merchandise, and reached the wider world with the release of two now sold out 12”s. Those first recordings suggested a classic modern punk band with a penchant for death and glamour, and an impatience to be heard. Time and touring has afforded them the ability to shift gear significantly, and the renewed ambition of Dissemble stands as testament to that. The band were immediately a thrilling live force, but on this album they’re wider, more urgent when they want to be, more thoughtful when required. Dissemble is an appropriate title (meaning to conceal one’s true motives), because there’s something canny at work here. The surface suggests despair, but scratch deeper and the lyrics display a lightness of touch that skewers the over-earnest and overly-serious.   

“Dissemble is a twisted romantic view of how AUTOBAHN think: don’t take life too seriously”

Life is a joke, but AUTOBAHN aren’t laughing. How could they?

Warsaw Pact's second single, 'Lights' captures the bands indie-rock/dance-punk side as driven guitars and a constant rhythm cascade into a dark yet danceable tune.

Lyric: Johny Joc 

It's fucking day.
it's my shame.
We could take our time.
Future seemed to shine.
it's lonely day
I stay in my side.
How you long ? how?
I can beat you down?

Hope ...it's same
You and life..... in fate  
and you go away
goodbye............. 

If you wanna feel .
it's same.. my mistake 
We never really have change .

You cant never leave you

Hounds of Summer Revisited

MNQ 034 VARIOUS - THE END OF CIVILIZATION LP

Mannequin has the dual and parallel aim to unearth hidden or unpublished gems, running along a road that starts from the period of reference for this kind of music (late 70s – mid 80s) and comes to nowdays, with a vision deeply influence by Factory Records / 4AD labels. 

Catching the same spirit of such great labels, we asked to the italian synth wave princess Mushy to create a compilation starting from a tabula rasa. The mission was hard. Following her tastes and heart, she had to select a dozen of new bands from all over the world with unreleased and unique for this project tracks, picking up the title and realizing the graphic design and artwork. The full process of "The End Of Civilization" took almost 1 year but the result was touching us ￼deep into our soul. 

Mushy began her career crafting noise bursts and aggressive oblique instrumentals before, in her newest form, blooming into a beautiful, epic and heart-heavy icy synth sound, having both "Faded Heart" (2011) and "Breathless" (2012) as album of the week at Rough Trade. "The End Of Civilization" perfectly represents her double sided synth-wave / kraut-psychedelic soul. Every track she selected for us is an absolute highlight, moving from the analog minimal / cold wave sounds of Police Des Moeurs, ASSS, The Circa Tapes, TEEEL and Rosemary to the tempestuous post punk and psychedelia of Deathday, The Murder Act, Phosphor and The Strange Forces, ending with spectral cold folk of Tablets and The Long Wives.
