Nail The Cross
The first ever Nail The Cross seemed a win, overall. We’ve got you on file, your faces pinned to a noteboard somewhere in a dark office underground.
27/09/08
These New Puritans, Benga, Archie Bronson Outfit + various others
@ the various establishments of New Cross, London SE14
(No Pain In Pop, Domino Recording Co., Adventures in the Beetroot Field)
All photography by Danielle Goldstein (1-4) and Louis Hartnoll (5-9).
Well Rapid
Expelled into the harsh light of the internet just over a month ago, Logos may be denied its intended place as the second legit Atlas Sound record, such was Bradford Cox’s initial dislike of the hackers’ forceps come rummaging ’round his nethers. It’d be a shame if Bradford’s second babe were to miscarry – the leaked demos, though unmastered, have fine genes; an enveloping rush of noise ambiguity and dreamy, lagoon-side harmony surrounding this, the 13 minute delivery of Cox’s ‘Quick Canal’.
MP3: Atlas Sound - Quick Canal (unmastered)
Phallic Tyranny
A titan of our times with an arsenal of space loops and sultry sonic pinches, Flying Lotus’s clipped pandemonium makes you just want to get down and dirty with Dale on the dancefloor, don’t it? Friday’s a time for phallic blows and erotic strobes, so eat up some ‘Parisian Goldfish’ and get crunked. Go on, no-one’s looking.

New Totems, Rituals
Sunday night was a rare one. !!!No Shows Forever!!! inched tentatively into the tepid, sulky light of Deptford to make its debut play and won so emphatically. Around 160 copped legion bangs, broken glass and four of the city’s finest; PENS, who you should know about already, as you should Banjo or Freakout, Gentle Friendly, Ponytail and (imminently at least, at last) Graffiti Island. A review of sorts lurks after ‘the jump’.
