Makthaverskan - This Time

On May 5th we will release the debut EP from New Zealand based Shunkan - the guise of the extremely talented and exciting Marina Sakimoto.

Just 20 years old, her debut EP 'Honey, Milk and Blood' is a melting hotpot of sounds and influences. From the yelps of Karen O, the song writing intricacies of Tegan and Sara, the heartfelt chugging pop songs of Waxahatchee to the shoe gaze soundscapes of My Bloody Valentine - its all here.

The 5 track EP will be released on cassette, limited to 50 and housed in fold out card artwork similar to our long sold out Best Friends/Grazes split..

Shunkan - Dust in Your Eyes

Last year, King TV's 'When She's Around' was featured on the very first Beech Coma release. Intimacy and hedonism high-five each other throughout the song as guitars switch from almost silent to screeching in waves - it's an utterly brilliant and thrilling song. When I first emailed frontman Louis Milburn about working with the band, I distinctly remember him asking me never to mention his age - just 17 at the time - as he was worried venues would stop booking the band.

Having just turned 18, and Louis is astoundingly prolific. Two further King TV releases under his belt, he also started writing solo work under the name Lou E late last year and released the beautiful and uplifting 'Teach Yourself'. Behind the scenes, given the number of different demos he has sent me since, I would guess there are in excess of 25 finished brilliant Lou E songs waiting to be unveiled - and today I have the utter pleasure of sharing my favourite, ‘Just One Thing’.

Taken from Vol. 3, out March 9th, ‘Just One Thing’ is a sprawling affair that really belongs over a sun-drenched road-trip scene in a cult 80s film. Juxtaposing everything that ‘When She’s Around’ is about, warm acoustic guitars slowly rise up like a heat wave from hot tarmac, whilst Louis’ vocals take you away with him as the dream-like, hazy melody slowly becomes lodged in your brain. 

Beech Coma Vol. 3 is released March 9th on cassette, t-shirt bundle and download - pre-order here - http://beechcoma.bandcamp.com/album/vol-3-2

Lou E - Just One Thing

It’s My Medication

A hard-driving modern rock track built around confrontation and finality. Crunching guitars, clenched-teeth vocals, and a breakdown that hits with zero hesitation. This song is about drawing the line, making the call, and refusing to carry anyone else’s weight forward. No compromise. No middle ground.
