Full Discography

Houndstooth: Patterns

Slim pickings this week. Track of the week is Ulrich Schnauss' incessant, driving "Faint Lights in the Distance".

Apr 16 - Apr 22 2021

Alternative Rock

New & hot: Alternative Rock

Including bouts with ignorance, through to rebellion, disassociating, spiritual bypassing, indifference and eventually light-enlightenment. ‘Social Haul’ centres around the middle distance, the place in which we realise that no matter how insignificant or excluded we may feel, we all have something worthwhile to say”.

Produced with Daniel Fox, Social Haul’s self-titled debut LP is released June 11th via FatCat Records and will be available on all digital platforms.

Social Haul - The Ease

I can’t believe I never noticed the shit you did when I was gone
I found the broken bottles beneath the garbage
Outside the bathroom door
You said that you were finished with all that bullshit
To me in the hospital
I cleaned the puke off the bedroom rug I washed your hair I covered up
All of the lies
I Told all your friends that you cut ties with
I said you were fine

you almost died tonight in my arms
I can’t Believe I love a ghost 

And Now we’re back to square one

it’s been six whole damn months since we left off

You’re holding a white claw
And calling my phone now
But you already know I blocked you off

I’m moving on
Im off those drugs I used to cope with
I’m better off Now that we broke up 
I’ll sign the papers the lawyers wrote up

I’m callin it off!


No more lies
And no more hiding
No more pain and no more fights

I cannot be here when you die
I hope you know I really tried
But I became someone hate
I can’t afford to live this way
I’m always stressed
I can’t stop yelling
I’m so mad I want to break
I can’t become another demon 
this disease will make us pay
I’m calling it off so I don’t kill you first
I wont last another day

Fell in love with a girl who dosnt even exist
the fact that she's mine is the only thing that matters
im obsessed with something ill never even have
so slit my wrists again and cut through the scabs

these sloots can stay mad cause they know this love is priceless
im jumping out of this 3d plane of existence
with a dakimura pillowcase tied around my neck
holding me tightly as i kill myself

my waifu is waiting for me to join her
life is the problem 
death is the answer

every night i go to sleep and only dream about her
see her face everyday as the background on my computer
liking girls is gay but my waifu is forever
once i hang myself then we'll be together

my waifu is waiting for me to join her
life is the problem 
death is the answer

my waifu

This song is about how even in some of our lowest points it is insanely hard to ask for help. We get so used to it, but getting help means change and that can seem far more terrifying.

Lyrics 

Mando:
I know that you’re not coming home tonight 
But I’m still by the phone 
And you said you were coming back to me 
But you didn’t have to lie
You didn’t have to lie to me 

Sam:
You’re not coming home tonight, but you’re not far away 
I will lay awake with my thoughts, trying to turn off my brain 
I want to forget about you, so I smash my face into my desk
I hope you’re having fun with you’re friends when you find out that I’m dead 

Mando, Chorus: 
And all of my friends, I hate them too 
And all of my friends, I don’t care if they leave with you 
Cos all of my friends they say that I changed 
But it’s all of my friends, that didn’t stay the same 

Sam: 
It’s hard not to be depressed in the emptiness of my bed 
It’s hard to look at the bright side when I’m walking through life in regret 
Don’t tell me not to be upset, when you’re the cause of this mess 
Cos you didn’t have to lie 
Cos you didn’t have to lie 

Mando, Chorus: 
And all of my friends, I hate them too 
And all of my friends, I don’t care if they leave with you 
Cos all of my friends they say that I changed 
But it’s all of my friends, that didn’t stay the same 

So fuck you and fuck them
Cos where I come from we don’t pick and choose our friends 

I won’t lie to you 
I won’t lie to you

lyrics: 

Everybody always talking about me
I don’t know why I always get bullied
I never knew life was gonna be so mean
Please god I wish I was happy
I don’t think I’ll ever be happy
Anger issues why I’m always so snappy
I’m a loser, super scrawny and low t
Please god won’t someone help me

I’m a loser
I have no friends
And no life to live

I’m a loser
Please leave me alone
I wish I was dead

Contemplating thoughts of suicide
All I ever do is cry and cry
Feel so empty
Feel so mad inside
Lately I just wanna die

I’m a loser
I have no friends
And no life to live

I’m a loser
Please leave me alone
I wish I was dead

Following an exciting end to 2020, which saw the band sign to us here at Houndstooth, release a blistering single ‘Deadlock’ and named in the NME 100 for 2021, @scalpingmusic prepare their first full body of work, ‘FLOOD’ EP which is set for release June 18th.

SCALPING have quickly established themselves amongst the UK’s most sensational acts, drip-feeding explosive shots of techno, punk and hardcore into the world and igniting venues and festivals across UK and Europe with a precise, unrelenting energy. The ‘FLOOD’ EP is a major milestone for the band and is the first proper holistic realisation of SCALPING’s stylistic breadth and mastery of a unique boundary-blurring approach, along with a developed sense of the total control exerted over their music at all times. ‘FLOOD’ is undoubtedly the sound of a band seizing and maximising a singular vision.

On the opening track, ‘Monolithium’ brings a pulverising gyrating intensity that unstoppably grinds through the gears to a riotous peak. 

SCALPING are the Bristol based group comprised of James Rushforth, Alex Hill, Isaac Jones, Jamie Thomas and Jason Baker, initially formed at the end of 2017 with a desire to pair their hometown's visionary, off-kilter dance music to the more organic instrumentation you might find in noise-rock and post-punk. They have since won all manner of plaudits at radio, press and through fervent word-of-mouth for both their eclecticism on record and for the pummelling intensity of their live performances.

so what i didn’t show up last night 
was so drunk i threw up and got in a fight 
you left and sure i guess that bites 
but i’m young and i know ima be alright 

so what i didn’t show up last night 
was so drunk i threw up and got in a fight 
you left and sure i guess that bites 
but i’m young and i know ima be alright

loves complicated 
i know you’ve waited for too long 
i wanna say it 
just don’t wanna come on to strong 

it’s like everytime you come around 
you find a way to break new ground 
i sing my pain out so loud 
now all these walls are coming down 

coming down 

so what i didn’t show up last night 
was so drunk i threw up and got in a fight 
you left and sure i guess that bites 
but i’m young and i know ima be alright 

so what i didn’t show up last night 
was so drunk i threw up and got in a fight 
you left and sure i guess that bites 
but i’m young and i know ima be alright

i know that im gonna be alright 
cause i’m so done with all the stupid fights 
i dont always do what’s right 
i feel like shit so i get high 

all the bullshit was killing me 
when your love was all that i really need 
i don’t know how you couldn’t see 
me and you was meant to be 

so what i didn’t show up last night 
was so drunk i threw up and got in a fight 
you left and sure i guess that bites 
but i’m young and i know ima be alright

London-based artist @Wordcolour returns to Houndstooth with a new single ‘Bluster’

Support the artist: https://hth.lnk.to/bluster

In Wordcolour’s own words, "all the way back in January 2021, when the UK was entering its second national lockdown, I set myself the task of trying to write a club track. I wanted to avoid the lockdown temptation to write melancholic, dreamy dance music, and so found myself trying to remember what the club sounded and felt like at a time when raving was a distant memory.

The result, Bluster, continues some of the club experiments I began on my first EP "Tell Me Something", but with a beefed-up heavier sound aimed at slow, chunky techno sets. Like that first record, this track has a sense of humour - constantly cutting in playful bits of vocal and drum detail. Both the title and the artwork imply an undue swagger - a sense of winging it through changeable unpredictable weather conditions: a combination that, for me, sums up the feel of this track as well as the circumstances in which it was made."

We are excited to introduce you to London-based producer On Man, a musician whose previous collaborations include Giggs, Darq E Freaker, Zebra Katz and Mr Hudson amongst others.

More info: https://hth.lnk.to/OnMan

Squares and Triangles features fellow London-based rapper F-M-M-F alongside this video directed by Ian Roderick Gray (The Banksy Job).


“Squares and Triangles was a turning point for the project - the first track I finished where I felt like things were heading in the right direction. F-M-M-F’s fantastic vocals hooked me straight away. They read almost like a film, exploring the tension of a doomed relationship when incompatible edges collide, crack and crumble amongst the lies.”


On Man’s creative roots lie deep. An artist with a unique gift for sound design, he’s able to conjure perfect pop songs and then corrode them, revealing the emotional truths underneath. An electronic artist with a human touch, he’s worked in the studio for an array of other artists, as well as delivering huge cinematic soundtrack projects, all while pursuing his own solitary agenda. "Squares and Triangles" marks the first step of this personal journey and more will follow later this year.


Lyrics:

You said it from the start
We’re more than a mile apart
Call me animal
Still looking for Noah’s ark
Call me a cannibal
Then I left a hole in your heart
Hole in your heart when I
Left my phone in your car
You’re like a loan shark
Once you let go of the past
I swear it’s been about a year
Guess my roly’s fast
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little dick is 
Gonna make her smile
Now it’s just me myself
And the only eye
Got my head doing circles
I guess it’s only pi
No apology from here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle?

You drive me round the bend whether
Automatic or manual
Upside down my
World’s feeling satanical
Text messages
Scriptures and parables
So many hate your
Shit is getting casual
Not to call you liar
I’m the person that fired you
Man slaughter killed it
But I was trying to 
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little mug is 
Gonna make her smile
Overreacting like there ain’t other guys
That lost their composure and told
A couple of lies
No apologies here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle

Following notable releases on Editions Mego as Electronic music duo LCC, and multiple singles and collaborations on Nicolas Jaar’s Other People label and Modern Obscure Music, experimental electronic artist Ana Quiroga (@ana_quiroga) announces her debut album Azabache for release on 8th September via Houndstooth. Ana also shares the first single from the project ‘Wallada’ which is available now to buy digitally and stream.

A personal odyssey, shaped by Ana’s deep connection to her homeland Asturias and her experience since moving to London, underpins Azabache. From the rich Celtic heritage of Asturias – the mines, minerals, and mystical feminine energy – to the urban occultism of their now-home London and the enchanting streets of Hackney and the East End, Azabache embodies the connection between deep and highly symbolic ancestral roots and these contemporary new beginnings.


Written, composed, produced and pre-mixed by Ana Quiroga Olavarrieta / Mixed by Paul Corley / Mastered & cut by Matt Colton at Metropolis, London

Wallada: Bass guitar by Chris Norrish. Additional vocals by Catalina Barceló

Inner City Light: Written in collaboration with Gorka Molero. Bass and backing vocals by Gorka Molero

Djrum's first release since 2019, the Meaning’s Edge EP is an introduction to a whole new world. For the artist also known as Felix Manuel, it was created in the final stretches of six rather traumatic years work. Having carefully honed his techniques and aesthetics, and learned some hard-won emotional lessons over this time, finally he began to work in a quicker, lighter fashion – and to cleanse his palate a little by bringing in a fresh ingredient: his own flute playing. For listeners, though, it will serve as an appetiser, a way into the delights and complexities of this new phase of his creativity.
 
It’s a serious work in its own right, mind. The use of flutes – including Bansuri, Shakuhatchi, Western Classical, and synthesised all blending and blurring into one another – gives it a coherence and a sense of airiness that unites the five tracks over half an hour, however divergent their beats get. And as in all his music, 
 
Here you find the opening track ‘Codex’ which alone touches on OG dubstep, Aphex Twin-like braindance, post-classical exploration, movie themes and more. The gentle tones and melodies that rise up out of it perfectly conjure Felix’s running theme of a protective bubble that provides a sense of safety and tranquillity even as the beats and acid gurgles and spurts all around it conjure up the slings and arrows of life’s difficulties.
 

… and it’s only just the beginning. This is the return of a master craftsperson more focused than ever on his vision and vocation and ready to blow your mind all over again.
