August 2025 - BIG MURK

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Buffalo Soldier

A pop-confessional detour from Kinlaw & Franco Franco’s scorched-earth sermonics, Pitstop 2024 is a fluorescent ballad for the disoriented suspended between memory and hallucination. Melodic, twisted, and deceptively catchy, it's a rare glimpse into the duo's softer circuitry — like pulling over on a long drive through an old satellite signal. 

Their second single from Faith Elsewhere lands with a sun-scorched home video directed by James Hankins — a hazy postcard from a road trip with the boys.

"The machine looms—it watches you from within. The finger points, but the face is missing."

Kinlaw & Franco. ATC’s original prodigal sons. A two-headed nephilim with an ever-growing tally of near-biblical performances – leaving shook audiences coughing dust for months after. Resurrected for 2025.

Those familiar know their hallowed-dogma – brimming with cyberpunk prophetics, surveillance state paranoia and rusted gothic futurism. Each chilling sermon, accompanied by a bespoke blend of crusted sonics, taut future-concrète prangers and only the finest industrial-trappist beats. 

Back with renewed precision. 11 hot-kneelers for your mental. 

On ‘Faith Elsewhere’, they lead the congregation into uncharted waters with pop-confessional, ‘Pitstop 2024’. There’s a fresh revamp of the beloved feudal anthem, ‘Crocs on the Plough’. Next, a long-fermented, yet still refreshing, kind of chamber-wave on the album’s self-titled track – and even, a touch of the devotional in the final ethereal reprise… Plus, there are plenty more teachings to be found elsewhere… 

The writing’s on the wall. Accept no false idols. Now pull up your cushion and kneel at their altar. It might just be their best yet….
