This is cool, got a Talking Heads thing going on.

London-based duo Kit Sebastian share their new single ‘Elegy For Love’, an outsider soul masterpiece. It is the third track to be taken from their forthcoming sophomore album, ‘Melodi', which is released 1st October on Mr Bongo. ‘Melodi' is a joyous expression of vibrant grooves and sophisticated lyricism that transcends boundaries, borders and social-cultural preconceptions. Those familiar with the band's cult classic 2019 debut record 'Mantra Moderne' will instantly recognise their unique take on world music, jazz and psychedelia. With this next album the duo have expanded their language and concepts and transposed them into something larger and more contemplative.

The sultry 'Elegy For Love’ see’s the duo at their very finest. Sounding like a lost Outsider-Soul rarity arranged by Rogério Duprat with Vagif Mustafa Zadeh on the piano; the composition is truly unique. It is their most instrumentally diverse track, with glockenspiels, uplifting trumpets, sweeping strings and vocal melodies that sprinkle magic dust. 

The lyrics talk about a final late-night meeting of a couple as a last futile attempt to save their romance. It juxtaposes their fleshly pleasure with their emotional pain/sorrow, confusion and contempt in a small gloomy bedroom.

Well, I never! Art-pop amblers Buffet Lunch have embarked on their blue period. Released today, new single ‘Blue Chairs, Blue Floors, Blue Folders’ is the first track to sally forth from their forthcoming album ‘Perfect Hit!’, out on April 4th through Upset The Rhythm.
 
Comprised of musicians based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and (sometimes) Newcastle, Buffet Lunch craft ramshackle odysseys of observational charm. Always catchy, often profound. Buffet Lunch have been previously described as a band that create 'a hodgepodge of noises’, and who are 'lyrically ridiculous'. Both claims are strongly denied by the group.
 
‘Blue Chairs, Blue Floors, Blue Folders’ is a deceptively carefree track, with its lengthy Shadows’ style intro, it is packed with anticipation, it revels in waiting, enjoying the mundane surroundings that often accompany monumental changes. This defines the modus operandi for a whole album of curious turns; a record that sees the band focus on more overtly personal themes like ancestry and becoming a parent, without neglecting the flawed Presbyterians and conker champions of the subconscious. ‘Perfect Hit!’ is built from bricks, ideas and plots, melodies and hooks, each stacked upon the other. It is available to pre-order now on 180g yellow vinyl from all the best shops and our very own website here: https://upsettherhythm.co.uk/
