THE GIG
Gnarwolves, Nai Harvest, Otto - London, The Old Blue Last


Skate punks Gnarwolves have already landed on the cover of DIY Weekly this year. Word’s still spreading, though. Nai Harvest also look to be a cult favourite on the cusp of something huge. Tonight’s gig is sold out.

THE BIG NEU THING
DEATHCATS
THE RADDEST by DEATHCATS!!!

Summer-vibed garage surf pop. Where might that come from? California? Florida? Australia? All wrong. The answer is, obviously, Glasgow. Yes, these endearing Scottish noise makers and self-confessed ‘lovers of cats’, DEATHCATS, craft catchy, messy and downright awesome surf pop gems in a place where surfing is most definitely a non-possibility. ‘Surfing In My Head’ is all dreamy ‘ooooohs’ and ‘ahhhhhs’, driving guitars, and a shout-a-long one line chorus, all delivered with a sexy Scottish snarl. Grab their recently released ‘Raddest’ EP on limited edition cassette before it’s too late. It really is the raddest. [Nathan Standlee]

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
TOOM - Anemoi [feat. Ashlee Stewack]


Chicago producer Mason Thorne aka TOOM latches onto something few gadget-obsessives get within a mile of: Big, bold emotional pop songs wrapped up in fancy electronic flicks. It’s something Flume specialises in, with Bonobo honing in at similar traits on his latest record. ‘Anemoi’ features Ashlee Stewack, and she provides a sense of calm to sit alongside the chaos. While everything hits crazed heights and never looks back, she’s there in middle keeping things controlled.
