Tinder skies
It doesn’t really matter who Hole Class are. They’ve a record out through Medsiv and it’ll be as seminal as it is probably now unattainable.

Punx
Another beery blitzkrieg, guitars like the minds of maniac children, drums like their suffering parents: vocals sing the theme tune to some cross-eyed caper. Taken from the new Lovvers album OCD Go Go Go Girls, out through Wichita on the 10th of August.

Grapple at Electric Swamp
Opening with a sequence that sounds like Martin Denny’s delicate numbers suddenly being swamped by Madlib’s blitzkrieg beats, a exotic idyll turned into mutant wasteland, Pelican Island seem in the habit of turning scraps into moveable feasts with this “Three Part Collage”. Never sure quite how seriously to take him but the Barbados native, having grown up cutting samples on cassettes on his sister’s karaoke machine, is now stationed out in E3. Plans are to release a beat tape in the next month or so, piecing together in the same hurdy-gurdy glories as The Samps, but until then it’s just another average day of “wake halfway. cereal. beats. take out. beats. beats. sleep. beats. wake halfway. dream.”

ZOMBY COMING
The video for the relatively sedate, near-beatless ‘Mercury’s Rainbow’, as shot by the man/woman/beast himself. It was originally posted by Ramp, so you’d imagine it might come out through them at some point.
