    Curbside Lambsear – Put Rings On All My Fingers To Weigh Down My Hands | The Quietus (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This is an intriguingly hard-to-pin-down debut from London’s Curbside Lambsear, AKA Magdalena McLean and Annabelle Mödlinger. Having met while playing in the (still active) art punk band The Umlauts, the duo assembled this lengthy EP in a patchwork fashion. You wouldn’t know it. There’s a coherent sense of purpose to these five tracks, as well as a free-roaming attitude when it comes to genre. The post punk-tinged opener, ‘No Ordinary Word’, slouches in on heavy-limbed drums and thick, dubby bas

    Gilla Band – Pugnello | The Quietus (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Have you ever heard a song for the first time and felt a shiver run so deep it took the floor with it? That, for me, is the first seconds of Pugnello, and it hardly relents from there. Dara Kiely comes in screaming on ‘The Angelus’, all scalded shriek, hollering about Bananas in Pyjamas and Gary Lineker as crisp maniac. The track pitches somewhere between Lightning Bolt and a ten-thousand-mile thundercloud, Adam Faulkner’s rolls hurtling underneath like Swans at triple speed. The title rewires t

    Gash – At Least You Know What You’re Laughing At | The Quietus (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Wisconsin natives Gash are equal parts brisk and bold. It’s very much in line, sonically, with their previous output, equipped with the same angular, do-it-yourselfness of 304/62, their last album. This record seems less reliant on samplework as a melodic element and more so as a textural one. There’s a warm, roomy quality to a great deal of these tracks, and where guitar and bass might’ve been “lost to the lo-fi”, so to speak, on 304/62, they’re placed front and centre here. Which means that, a

    Oren Ambarchi – Cooked | The Quietus (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Cooked, Oren Ambarchi’s gutsy and ambitious new album, was recorded and mixed over three years, three continents and five countries, with a thirteen-strong cast of musicians lending shō, whistling, portative organ, along with instruments taken from the world of jazz and beyond. Such an aggregation might suggest that the two pieces comprising the album are overripened, that Ambarchi and co. might have been high on their own supply. And yet Cooked is as finely balanced as a champagne cascade. The

    Animals, Burns and Barns: Trav by Taylor Burns | The Quietus (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Taylor Burns' novel Trav is savage and is boldly literary, finds Tristam Vivien Adams Travis Barnes is the protagonist. Taylor Burns is the author. It’s a bildungsroman. The names give it away. The names also resonate with the reading experience on many levels. Author’s name first: Burns. One can be scalded from encountering too cold or too hot a substance. Trav is an intense reading experience. Intense with neutral valence, for the book is by turns frosty and searing. Harrowing and life affirmi
