Shoun Shoun
Previous releases saw the band blend dream pop and garage rock with the urban ennui of Nico and the spirit of Sonic Youth. Championed by the likes of Louder Than War and BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson it saw them garner radio play from Canada to Berlin.
‘Monsters & Heroes’ is a beautiful cocktail of abrasive garage rock, soporific dream pop, playful psychedelia and carnal post-punk which makes them all the harder to pigeon-hole. Showing their innate ability to embrace both darkness and bliss, the album counters breezy, echoing guitars, swooning harmonies, eerily seductive almost spoken word and then marries them with direct lyricism, shrieking strings and a thick layer of fuzz which explodes into shrapnel throughout the course of the listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjV8vKArxnc

Bristol-based post-punk four-piece with noise-rock, no-wave and free-jazz elements. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn28w2kYwtY
