“Straight outta Brixton, Hot Sauce Pony's avant-hard music has echoes of hardcore, grunge and punk, topped off with the exquisite, sultry vocals of Caroline Gilchrist. Imagine, perhaps, Deerhunter and Mudhoney facing off while Marianne Faithfull takes the mic. New single Burnt Ends is out now, with their debut album (recorded and engineered by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago) to follow in the new year.”

“Legendary jazz drummer Tony Orrell and the mellifluous Vyv Hope-Scott (keyboards) combine acoustic instrumental recordings with live electronic embellishment. You will have heard nothing like this playful, vivacious, unpredictable music before. A genuine sonic adventure. jellilalas.com”

“Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack were still teenagers when they began playing together in Baltimore some 12 years ago. Now, living more than a thousand miles apart, Wye Oak have become one of the “most gifted, mercurial, unpredictable indie rock bands” around (Stereogum). Their celebrated fifth album The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs offers a “rapidly evolving instrumental palette” (Drowned In Sound) that bounds between electro pop and “galvanic backbeats” (Pitchfork). Wasner’s voice “is pensive and centered, smooth and resolute” (New York Times).”

“Formed of keyboardist Dan Nicholls (has worked with Squarepusher and Matthew Herbert), drummer Joshua Blackmore (Troyka) and guitar and synth man Matt Calvert (Three Trapped Tigers, Heritage Orchestra) – this band has created, via their debut release Brokespeak, an album that eschews genre and feels free from time-stamps.”
