Amen Dunes (aka the project of Damon McMahon) returns with “Feel Nothing,” a powerful and honest first statement since the release of 2018’s beloved Freedom, and his debut release with Sub Pop. Recorded in Los Angeles with co-producer Ariel Rechtshaid and mixed by Craig Silvey, “Feel Nothing” begins with McMahon’s unmistakable voice chanting “Kingdom, kingdom, kingdom, kingdom, kingdom // be a prophet” until the Sleaford Mods rhythm drops and McMahon continues “Every time I hear a story // Got no good from it.” The song, which features synths by Freedom-collaborator Panoram, gradually introduces the rhythm-heavy next chapter in the Amen Dunes’ sound, before a duet by Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson and McMahon carries the song out. Where Freedom was “[Amen Dunes’] euphoric breakthrough … silvery and romantic, like a hallucination of the classic-rock songbook” (Pitchfork), “Feel Nothing” is a bold reflection on resistance, and a step further in the intentional reimagining of the world of Amen Dunes.

Bred on jazz at home, and on the music of the Paris streets,the Gypsy art of Django Reinhardt,
bal musette, and North African rai, singer, songwriter, blues harmonica player Florence Joelle started collecting rock’n’roll, doo-wop, Latin jazz, and early blues as a girl.  Her music draws from all these influences, carving out a unique sound that, although deeply rooted in the past, vibrates in the present

A twee retro singer she is not, though.  Ever socially
conscious, her songs depict what happens around her. 
The gritty ’29 Bus Blues’ tells of an assault witnessed on a London night bus, while ‘The God Of Things’,written during the riots of August 2011, warns of the materialistic world we live in.  ‘How Many Chickens Are You Missing Today?’, a protest song composed on
behalf of the thousands of Roma brutally and illegally expelled from France in 2010, was recently included on an compilation by Amnesty International.

Released in 2011, her first album, Kiss Of Fire, was described by the Arts Desk as ‘Smokin’, while Michael Dregni (author of the Django Reinhardt biographies) said in Vintage Guitar Magazine that she sings “rock ’n’ roll like Billie Holiday might, croons a torch ballad as Wanda Jackson may, and spices it all with a bit of
Patti Smith attitude." 

While paying homage to the past, Florence Joelle
has carved out a unique sound that vibrates in the present. 

Younghusband is a British band from London, UK. The line up consists of Euan Hinshelwood (vocals/guitar), Adam Beach (guitar/keys), Joe Chilton (Bass) and Pete Baker (drums). They released their first single in June 2011 with the UK label Too Pure,. This was followed by the 'Crystal E.P.' released by U.K. shoegaze label Sonic Cathedral in November 2011. Younghusband initially existed as a bedroom recording project by Euan who put out an early single and two e.p's 'The Judas Cow' and 'Idiot Son' on small u.k. label Culturedeluxe. Shortly after this a band was formed to play the songs live. Overtime the band started writing together and embraced a heavier psych filled sound, moving away from the lo-fi orientated sound of the bedroom output. They began recording their debut album in the summer of 2012 with producer Nicolas Vernhes, noted for his work with the likes of Animal Collective, Deerhuter, Dirty Projectors and Silver Jews. The album is set for a spring 2013 release. In interviews the band have mentioned Stereolab, The Birthday Party, Television Personalities, The Ronnettes, Felt, Broadcast, Wire and The Cocteau Twin's to be amongst their influences.
