2016 - Rock

Taken from both band's forthcoming split 7" on Upset The Rhythm, released May 11th!

Track listing:

Side A
01. SAUNA YOUTH – ‘Transmitters’

Side B
02. MONOTONY – ‘Luxury Flats’ 
03. MONOTONY – ‘Human Troll’

Sauna Youth and Monotony are an evolving band of future humans making truly irregular punk, not quite comparable to anything else. 'Weird' is a meaningless platitude, and 'art punk' is a classifier that shouldn't be required. 

In the prelude to their album release, Sauna Youth have teamed up with themselves in the form of their sister band Monotony to send forth a colossal split 7” into the world on May 11th. Sauna Youth offer up their headrush lead single called ‘Transmitters’ from their forthcoming album, whilst Monotony proffer two exclusive tracks called ‘Human Troll’ and ‘Luxury Flats. 

Sauna Youth formed sister band Monotony, while writing their forthcoming album ‘Distractions’ in 2014. Later in the year, they did two sessions over two days as both bands for Marc Riley on BBC 6 Music, and both Sauna Youth and Monotony were invited to play DRILL Festival by Wire. As well as playing in Monotony, members of Sauna Youth are also in the bands Tense Men, Primitive Parts, Feature and Cold Pumas.

Consisting of Richard Phoenix, Lindsay Corstorphine, Jen Calleja and Christopher Murphy, Sauna Youth and Monotony are both punk bands that are happy to embrace all of the contradictions that go along with that notion. On paper both sound considered - live they can barely be contained. They are at times furious, unstoppable and severe with the sampler wailing like an alarm coming from a parallel universe – then chugging, poppy, harmonious and fun. Forever loud. As Kurt Cobain once asked "Why can't we be both Black Sabbath and The Beatles?" Sauna Youth consistently pose the question, “Why can't we be both The Ramones and Steve Reich?” Monotony prefer to keep things simpler and more direct and go straight for the jugular.

Sauna Youth’s side races off at full pelt, its guitars pulsing and chopping in a terse manner before the chorus crashes in like a wave. By singing every word at the same time, Ecke (Calleja) and Boon (Phoenix) create a unified voice of no specific gender, allowing the songs to be sung from multiple perspectives, from a place of shared experience. The song’s lyrics branch out of ideas of Transhumanism; looking for a way to live forever, for something that makes us last, like recordings – “I want my thoughts scratched into plastic/hear my voice on an endless loop/I like persistence” they sing in unison.

Monotony kick off their side of the 7” with ‘Luxury Flats’, a stomping slab of head-first primal punk. “Acquisitions, no ambition. Jumping off the balcony” they intone over the swaggering rhythm. In the song Monotony come face to face with Ballard’s high-rise nightmare set upon rapidly gentrifying London out of all reason. Second track, ‘Human Troll’ is a boldly brash song lodged with sloping riffs and hollered vocals. “Human Troll lives in the river, cement mattress making him shiver!” 
Upset the Rhythm will be releasing Sauna Youth’s long-awaited second LP Distractions on June 8th.

debut single for Bella Union, 'WURDS' is released on limited edition white vinyl on Monday 1st December

BUY ME!

Bernard + Edith - WURDS

when gravity's a palm pushing down on your head
like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder 
and the other one is rubbing your back
but the kitchen in this new place has a window 
yeah you can grow basil on the sill 
maybe you can call your neighbors by name now

berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living
Still this feels like eating the meat of the mountain
It's all grit and gristle I can't chew and swallow, 
I'm gnawing my way back home
the clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash
I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch
yeah i’m confused about how i’m supposed to connect to anything now 

the kind of high I like is when I barely make the train    
And the people with a seat smile big at me cause they know the feeling
and for a millisecond we share a look like a family does
like we have inside jokes 
like we could call each other by little nicknames
and I could tell the story of how
My great grandmothers sister was deemed a saint
how they exhumed her body after years of being buried 
and they found she hadn't even begun to sully
so they moved her again, straight into the Vatican 

I think of all the billions of eyes 
all looking at something different at the same time
and I feel nauseous 
some days i can only see into my suitcase 
it's got everything I need 
plus some superstitious things I may also need
"music soothes the savage beast"
the pilot says to me and he asks me to sing
but now is not the time
I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry 
i just wanna keep very very quiet yeah

it’s june where you sleep and july where I land 
thought I saw you on the platform in Amsterdam
and I nearly missed my train 
and I felt so defeated til I jumped on to see all the warm smiles were for me 
I made my train and it made me so happy
I made my train and it made me forget everything
it made me forget, made me forget made me forget made me forget everything
it made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget everything

White Reaper - Pills

Static Daydream is the new project of Paul Baker (founding member of Skywave and Ceremony), and their first full-length release is comprised of 11 noisy pop songs swathed in reverb and distortion.

In 2012, Paul, and his girlfriend and musical partner, Jamie Casey, began recording what would become their debut EP, "The Only One," released on Moon Sounds Records in 2014 to much adoration.  Here's a review from Clank For Breakfast:

"Once you enter the door to the four melody-kisses-noise songs on this EP, you’re hooked and feel home in less than a sec. Whether it’s the dynamically circulating opener “The Only One” with its delightfully seductive, crisp chorus, the groovy “I Want To Break Your Heart” with its bittersweet charm and The Cure reminding guitar colors, the gently swirling dreampop cloud “Disbelief” featuring the fairylike, beautiful vocals by Jamie Casey and additional programming by Jake Reid (Screen Vinyl Image), or the closing noisepop candy “Inside” with its sparkling energy and sweet'n'yearning scent - this trip showcases skilful songwriting and offers embracing harmonies as well as crunchy edges, pulse-quickening, fiery moments as well as relaxed flirts".

Their self-titled album on Saint Marie Records with Moon Sounds Records, released in 2015, is full of melancholic, romantic, distortion-fueled songs, dripping with reverb and classic songwriting.  Inspired by 60's girl groups, 80's and 90's British noise-pop, and assisted by Jake Reid of Screen Vinyl Image and Ice Station Mastering, Static Daydream's debut is full of dreamy, hook-laden songs reminiscent of Skywave, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Slowdive.
