THE GIG
Moko - London, Corsica Studios


Trip-hop revivalist Moko has already played on main stages at Reading & Leeds (performing alongside Chase and Status), but there’s little chance of it going to her head. South London’s Corsica Studios is perfectly built for the Goldsmiths student’s abrasive genre-bending pop.

THE SONG
Theares - Ancient Cosmology
The Late EP by Theares

Alright, alright. Theares need to rein in the drum-track a little - there’s only so much crashing cymbals an old codger can take - but by hell there’s a dark psychwave escape rooting itself at the centre of ‘Ancient Cosmology’, and it’s exciting. Consider The Wytches’ recent dive into harsh waters with pitch-black noise and amplify it tenfold. Like Iggy Pop wandering into a forest full of night terrors and escaping through the other side, it’s a sonic assault like few others witnessed this year.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
NAVY - Glass Camp
Glass Camp by N A V Y

LA-based project NAVY’s labelling ‘Glass Camp’ as an “initial sound sketch”, so let’s not jump to any wild conclusions. Still, there’s enough swimming around in this debut to suggest big things; namely, the kind of sinister noirwave glow Suuns mastered on their last LP and Liars hinted at with ‘WIXIW’. It’s a dark undercurrent coming to the fore, a strange twitching sensation beckoning lost souls into the dark.
