The new single from Mega Emotion (all former members of Norwich art-rock/indie poppers Bearsuit). Taken from their forthcoming album 'Move Motherf*cker' - a split vinyl album with their grunge alter egos Lady Di.

Mega Emotion are the robe-wearing cult that build dense layers of sound looping both live and electronic drums against synths and scuzzy guitars.

They've won Steve Lamacq's roundtable, been playlisted across BBC 6 Music and supported the likes of Acid Mothers Temple, Shonen Knife, Yuck and Lonelady. They compare their sound to the likes of Metronomy, New Order, The Knife and Battles.

I Want So Much More Than You Can Give

Mega Emotion - I Want So Much More

Feeling festive? This cover of a well known Christmas Classic is released on this year's A Very Cherry Christmas, out now on Cherryade Records!

WAST

OK Maybe OK is the first in a series of new singles from Mega Emotion - ahead of their debut album, tentatively titled Move, Motherfucker.

The band’s self-released debut BRAINS won Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable on BBC 6 Music. Their demo material has also been play-listed as a 6 Music Recommends track of the week and they have been championed by both BBC Introducing and XFM.

The track is a howl of anguish and desperation against a slack, bouncing beat. There are walls of guitars. There are squelching basslines. There are headache-inducing drones. And there are, let us not be coy about this, cowbells.

Recorded at The Sickroom, Norfolk.

OK MAYBE OK

If You See Me

Circumstance

Released 24/11/17

It's almost the end of 2017. And if this year has been a soul crushing one for you, then Sick Burn is your new mantra. A mantra to pick yourself up, hug your friends, and tough out the vileness that life can throw you. 

It's been a difficult year for Mega Emotion's Jan, Lisa and Iain too. Facing illness, death and heartache, the friends (since school) turned up their instruments and wrote a slow-building hymn to friendship and optimism in a totally bleak world. 

Mega Emotion play drums and percussion over electronic beats and build walls of sound that loop dirty baselines against pumping synths and scuzzy guitars. They wear floor-length ceremonial robes, with faces dusted in glitter and stars swept through their hair. 

The band’s self-released debut BRAINS won Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable on BBC 6 Music. Their demo material has been championed by BBC Introducing and played by DJs including John Kennedy, Mark Radcliffe, Tom Robinson, Tom Ravenscroft, and Nemone.

Following early radio support from John Kennedy at Radio X and BBC Introducintg for their debut ‘AAAAAA’, the band are pleased to reveal ‘Peanut Cup’ as the lead track from their new album . It was recorded by Magoo’s Owen Turner in the wilds of Norfolk at Sickroom Studios in the middle of drinking beers and hanging by the pool in flannel shirts.

"Death Star dance action" - Steve Lamacq

"Underground-mainstream indie-synth-pop... Human League goes lo-fi" - Electronic Sound

“Part Pixies noise-fest, part 80s synth sunset. I fucking love this song. It makes me want to rip out my shitty broken spine and flop around on a dance floor having fun.”
The 405 (single of the week)
 
“Mega Emotion aren’t your standard synth-pop proposition. They may weave webs of slick electro beats that nod out to Blondie, but they also have a thing for excessive layers of noise.”
The Fly (names to watch)
 
“A tasty jellybean of guitar embellished, smart electro pop”
The Music Fix (single of the week)
 
“Sounds like: A mad genetic experiment between Casiokids and Blondie.”
Click Music (track of the day)
