Mystic Inane, Rattle, Anxiety, Brain Fluid

Mystic Inane is not for the faint of heart... This is some weird and messed up punk influenced noise from New Orleans. Sailing in on the wave of mutated punk crud flowing from the rank basements and suburbs of the dregs of Western Civilisation, Mystic reek of the twisted, garagefied slow burn of No Trend but with a decisively odd vocal that always seems to be playing catch up, adding a layer of desperation to proceedings. Mystic Inane sound like Bloodstains Over America but with a fucked-up-as-hell Messthetics attitude to professionalism. They are weird, wired and expect a broken new release on London label LA VIDA ES UN MUS very soon.

Rattle focus almost exclusively on drums and more drums, beneath a delicate overlay of vocal harmonies and percussive effects. Formed by Katharine Eira Brown (also of Kogumaza) and Theresa Wrigley (also of Fists), Rattle began as an experiment in crafting rich songs and melody using drums and voice alone. Their music weaves and intertwines post-punk, minimalism and experimental rock, through off-kilter rhythms, patterns and counter melodies. Their live performances are at once hypnotic, monastic and danceable, having entranced audiences at Supersonic Festival and Supernormal festival.

Anxiety feature members of Glasgow groups Pennycress, Herbert Powell, plus Apostille and London hardcore menaces The Lowest Form. The entire atmosphere of the record is hectic and oppressive with quite existential lyrics creating an overall feeling of uneasiness and internal confrontation pivotal to understand the band. Guitars like a formless, chaotic end of the world, bass that rumbles up from the centre of the dying planet.

Brain Fluid are a new congealment featuring members of the Rapid Tan x Herbert Powell axis. They are so new no one has heard anything. Maybe not even them. But they will be Heavy, lurching, mean, lean, raging against the dying of the night.
