Keel Her - 'Don't Look At Me'

The new single. Available now on Critical Heights. (Released 6th January)

Having relocated to Brighton, Keel Her returns to full-tilt, dream-fuzz tuneage with new single “Don’t Look At Me”, taken from her new full-length now available on Critical Heights.

“Don’t Look At Me” is a real gem that comes equipped with everything you love about Rose Keeler-Schäffeler’s take on pop music – those echoey vocals, tumbledown beats and a melody line plucked from a battered Strat. As ever, it trips a wonderful line between joy and melancholy and doesn’t outstay its welcome – one for repeated-spinning into the cold nights ahead.       

Our prolific hero serves up a real beauty on the flip too – “Pussywhipped” starts with bright keys and whirlpools, then once the hook soars you’re won over by another Keeler-Schäffeler mini-masterpiece. 



Keel Her - Don't Look At Me

KEEL HER - Steve Holt (CHSAMPLER01)

Taken from Keel Her's forthcoming debut album due out on 10 February (Europe) 25 February (USA) on Critical Heights.  Rose Keeler-Schäffeler’s songs are intimate vignettes drawn from her own experiences delivered in a chatty, honest and delightfully conversational manner. Guitars and synths vie for melodic prominence over vast swathes of fuzz and feedback, where Rose’s indecipherable vocals swim amongst buzzing melodies, swampy reverb and broken beats.

Incredible Weapons is the nom de plume of Hampshire's reclusive pop mastermind, Danny Gee. Happiest when brewing up mojo among tape reels and vintage equipment, Gee mines a deep seam of English songwriting gold.  


Incredible Weapons - Dragons Awake (Guided By Voices cover)

Pulsating with a visceral tension,'Black Water' calls to mind the cathartic energy of Rites of Spring and Husker Du with the disparate post punk angularity of Joy Division and Mission of Burma; urgent and raw but keeping to a clear sense of melody.
