UPSET THE RHYTHM

Leroy

Today we’re sharing another soaring single from Quinie’s new album ‘Forefowk, Mind Me’ (out May 23rd). ‘Col My Love’ is the very first track on the album, and it’s a powerful song to sing, accompanied by some epic pipes too. Quinie explains that the words “warn of the dangers of being close to the shoreline. I thought it would be a good fit with this footage of me and Maisie trying to navigate one of the challenges on one of our walks. Perhaps not quite as scary as being jailed on a cliff top, but nevertheless an adventure.” 

Enjoy!

Quinie - 'Col My Love'

Me Lost Me returns today with the second miraculous single from their forthcoming album ‘This Material Moment’ (out June 27th through Upset The Rhythm). 

‘A Painting of the Wind’ is an astonishing song that we’ve loved in Jayne’s set for a while, it grapples with how artists try to express the inexpressible and how art is used as a means of escape and fantasy. The track is streaming everywhere now and is accompanied by this exquisite landscape portal of a video filmed at Raby Castle by Amelia Read:

‘This Material Moment’ can be pre-ordered on Bandcamp and our very own webshop too.
We all love to be carried away!

Me Lost Me - 'A Painting of the Wind'

It’s almost obligatory to release a folk song on May Day, but here we are on May 2nd still bringing in the May! Enjoy Quinie’s evocative new single ‘Sallow Buckthorn’ out now. It’s a mesmeric sea of swirling sound and Scots poetry.

Full video: https://youtu.be/Zoge5FKvJz0

“Ye micht o thought the sallow buckthorn, Ne’er a hairst could hain”
("You might have thought the buckthorn would be so pale, that no harvest could hold it.”)


‘Sallow Buckthorn’ is featured on Quinie’s forthcoming album ‘Forefowk, Mind Me’ out on Upset The Rhythm on May 23rd.

Ancient Summer

Cor Blimey! On August 15th Upset The Rhythm will release a split 7” EP by Linda Smith and The Smashing Times. Both based in Baltimore and both best buds, this record celebrates that friendship sharing two new tracks by each act; united by DIY spirit, a bedroom-pop sensibility and now a puddle of black vinyl. Today you can witness their tea-based, umbrella-powered advertisement, listen to Linda’s track ‘So Long Ago’ (streaming through the digital ether) and even choose to pre-order the coveted disc yourself from our Bandcamp or UTR webshop: https://upsettherhythm.co.uk/

Songwriter Linda Smith has a gentle but unconventional experimental style that continues to evolve as she adds new entries to her storied catalogue. Smith’s pioneering work with four-track production in the '80s found her at the beginning of a home-recording movement that would set the pace for the decades of indie rock that followed. During this most active period, Smith's music was limited mostly to obscure cassette and 7" releases. This trailblazing time was recently revisited on Captured Tracks’ compilation ‘Till Another Time: 1988-1996’. Shortly after Smith’s retrospective, she teamed up with like-mind and collaborator Nancy Andrews to release an album of beguiling pop entitled ‘A Passing Cloud’ (2023). The duo performed songs from that record at Upset The Rhythm’s 20th anniversary party at Café OTO that same year. 2024 saw further reissues of Smith’s music including Nothing Else Matters (1995) and I So Liked Spring (1996).
 
The Smashing Times are a premier East Coast Pop Experimental Group. They have also gleefully performed in London for Upset The Rhythm twice in quick succession. Known for their dogtooth style, waggish mod attitude and tumbledown sound, The Smashing Times have holes in their socks and sit idly between The Kinks and Tori Kudo. Their previous albums on K Records, Perennial and Meritorio are a cherished commodity steeped in Paisley psych and slapdash panache. 
 
This split 7” EP comprises 4 new tracks. Two from Linda Smith in keyboard-warble anthem mode and two low-fidelity daytrips by The Smashing Times. It will be released on 500 black vinyl 7”s by Upset The Rhythm on August 15th 2025.

Down The Beach

Vaporize

As it stands………..I am turning the wheel
As it stands………..there’s nothing left here for you to steal
As it stands………..I haven’t seen you for weeks
As it stands………..you’re doubling through these sewer stained streets
As it stands………..I shoot it down, you know you don’t mean a thing
As it stands………..I step slow motion from the flaming machine
As it stands………..you know that I don’t want it to die, but
As it stands………..I know I’ll never leave this alive

It’s got nothing to do with you
Just the fear of forgetting
The bodies & nights that I’ve been used
& I used you too
……………….......……..like a cheap perfume

As it stands………..the only teacher is time, but
As it stands………..this lesson will be my whole life
As it stands………..I know that it is all in my head, 
As I stand…………..a rising escalator to a cliff edge, &
…………………….........I know I’m being obvious, a whale on the beach, but
As it stands………..we both know who is wearing the leash
As it stands………..I’m walking with my head in my hands, just
…………………......…...waiting for the moment when you stab me right back

It’s got nothing to do with you
Just the fear of forgetting
The bodies & nights that I’ve been used
& I used you too
……………………..........like a cheap perfume
……………………...........like a blow-up doll in a backstreet brawl
……………………...........like strangers sharing a bathroom stall
……………………...........gives me panic stabs from a casual glance
……………………...........gives me swollen glands from uncertain chance
……………………...........& I’m seeing stars in a boxer’s hand
……………………...........a one-night stand with a pension plan

Lyrics:
You’d better be waiting cus you’ve got another thing comin’ to ya
Fresh off the kill and too far afield for any of us to go

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

We’re both keeping our feet wet not to condemn what we’re running from
Let’s make a deal and kick up our heels or is it too late for that

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

I don’t know which way you’re leaning shifting your weight like an untethered sail
High on caffeine and sick of this scene you’re caught in your own trap

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

You’d better be waiting

Teaming up for the 15th EP on Heimlich Musik, Coss and Iorie deliver Casual International located somewhere between Chinatown and the Atlantic Ocean, with Shubostar and Arutani on remix duty. Cielo Azul is shaped by one of Iorie’s rare vocal appearances in Spanish with an organic beat underlined by dreamy guitar parts while Mu is based on a Chinese mantra supported by an intense bass line. Arutani’s interpretation of Cielo Azul is based on an arpeggiator bass accentuated by stripped-down parts of the original. Shubostar adds some extra tension by transforming Mu into an energetic Disco banger. Casual International as a whole creates a diverse picture of musical approaches to survive this special kind of summer.

LYRICS

Pastel shades in the early heat of May
But all I see is grey
Monochrome scenes feels like it’s all through a screen
But who am I to say what’s real

Is something wrong with me?
Rings like a silent scream 
My sadness is compiling
It’s summer and I don’t feel like smiling

The long days shouldn’t feel this bleak
But it feels like I’m on a losing streak
The smell of suncream and salty air
I feel nothing and I don’t care

Is something wrong with me?
Rings like a silent scream
My sadness is compiling 
It’s summer and I don’t feel like smiling

Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind 
Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind 
Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind 

The long days shouldn’t feel this bleak
But it feels like I’m on a losing streak
