Throwing shapes at horizon’s edge
Having spent the last few years picking modestly at the scraps, Patten are now digging their teeth in deep on Liquid Liquidâs fleshy carcass. Following the careful calm of their debut, There Were Horizons (available here), they’ve now found their feet (the new moves kindly thrown out by those excellent gents at 20JFG) with the London-based troupe returning with the release of Sketching The Tesseract later this year via Kaleidoscope (previously responsible for releasing champion auteur Arch M’s Mountain Tan Commercials among other gems).
An EP precedes the full release, entitled GLAXJO XAACSSO, and these are some of the fruits.

Paradise Vendors
Chaps, grasp glands for London’s Male Bonding, three sorts getting fresh with that swamp-bass-super-sound and the teenage poltergeist scar-isms of a pink punk past. Descended from (early) Descendents, gay for Gray Matter, ‘Rehearsal Song’’s tuneful racket seems made B(y).S(aturdays).F(or).S(aturdays)., rising sober, miraculously enough, to turn up at your friend’s house with an amp and some plugs just as mother and father are heading out to John Lewis for salad and furnishings. Male Bonding are no flannel arrivistes, there back in the Smell-sent days, as the first lo-fi rumbles moving across the water were picked up by alien wave stations hunkered down somewhere in the undergrowth plunge of Epping Forest.
Male Bonding’s Paradise Vendors Inc label yesterday issued another slab of Eden in the form of a four-way split that grapples to gather a quartet NPIP favourites: Old Blood, Graffiti Island, Rapid Youth (the Murietta collective) and, of course, MB themselves. Get it here.
