The Damned Thing

The Drin forge further into their own captivating world of sound on "Tigers Cage", the first taste of their fourth album, 'Elude the Torch'. Since 2021, the Cincinnati group has released one strikingly original album per year, crawling closer to the aether with a driving, reverberated rhythm. The Drin's current six piece lineup is at a new height - loose, yet focused and commanding. Deep layers of saxophone, synthesizer, percussion, and strings stir across "Tigers Cage" while D McCartney's nebulous verbiage further paints the dystopian landscape. Look for the Drin on tour across Europe this April, followed by the early Summer release of 'Elude the Torch'.

The Drin - Tigers Cage

June 14th, what a prodigious day! 

We will be releasing Marcel Wave’s inaugural album ‘Something Looming’, packed with eulogies for tragic actresses, ancient riverbeds and concrete obscenity. Marcel Wave (featuring members of Cold Pumas & Sauna Youth) are part trades club symphony, part itchy serenade and part wistful lament. This heady concoction of ‘Meades meets Pat-E-Smith meets Kirklees Borough Council’ will be formally baptised on stage in London at the MOTH Club that very same day (June 14th) with an album launch (featuring The Pheromoans + LASH), now on sale.

Check out their first single ‘Barrow Boys’, a raucous ode to the death of the docklands. Out now digitally and available to study in this suitably wavy VHS promo: https://youtu.be/7Si1SslYnBU

‘Something Looming’ will be released on June 14th by Upset The Rhythm and Feel It Records (in the USA).

It is available to pre-order now on 180g black vinyl too: https://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/

Marcel Wave return with effervescent bop ‘Stop/Continue’ today, a punctual new single owing much to decaying industrial backdrops to childhood. 

‘Stop/Continue’ dwells on derelict mills, spooling rivers and the unfaltering sweep of the second hand. We very much like songs with a heavy dose of rumination at UTR and if they come with a trippy video of waterways, tunnels and some dancing too, then all the better!

‘Stop/Continue’ is out now digitally, it features on Marcel Wave’s debut album ‘Something Looming’ out June 14th on Upset The Rhythm and Feel It Records (USA). Dive in!

Marcel Wave - 'Stop/Continue'

Very little info so far, but very efficient DIY UK Post-Punk.

*Update: Marcel Wave is MM Lyle of A Terrible Splendour, a synthwave post-punk project, with all the romanticism and doomed fatality of the genre. Marcel Wave had a prior incarnation as a synth-based project in 2018. But this new demo is strictly garage (bass/guitar/drums), and indie, with post-punk phrasings reminiscent of Suburban Lawns, Kleenex, Dolly Mixture, etc.. VERY GOOD,
