THE GIG
MONEY - Dalston, The Bunker


A likely topless, arm-swinging Jamie Lee and his band of ambitious, expansionist musicians bring their charm to the most unlikely of location on August 22nd and 23rd. The first of two consecutive nights, MONEY play a former WW2 underground shelter in Dalston. MONEY and bunkers go together hand-in-hand. Somehow.

THE SONG
Gent Mason - Eden


You can practically feel the walls shake. Practically, or physically. Depends how much you’re feeling ‘Eden’, the debut track from Gent Mason. Speaker budgets could go through the roof to help replicate the abstract burst of force that erupts out of this cloud-pop project. Being signed up to Aesop - where fellow ground-shaker SOHN began alongside - is another surefire sign that Gent Mason are heading towards more exciting things.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
GEORGES - Matetouya
Thunder by GEORGES

The message of ‘Matétouya’ is fairly simple. It’s one resounding cry, the song title repeated into oblivion. Somehow Pierre Leroy aka GEORGES’ voice replicates enough until it sounds like a cast of thousands. Ritualistic - the audio equivalent of a crowd of monks surround a sacred object - it’s a creeping, otherworthdly reminder of how simplicity reins the day.
