THE GIG
NO - London, Old Blue Last


LA’s NO are down in the UK for the next couple of weeks, undoubtedly penning some lavish record deal if the cynics amongst us are to be trusted. They’ve every right to, however, considering how fully-fledged their baroque, National-esque debut EP is. Free entry.

THE SONG
Leon T. Pearl - Take You to Market


Out soon on Method Records, Leon T. Pearl’s latest ‘Take You to Market’ track is an unashamed, drug-referencing giant, fusing house pulses with wit-flecked lyricisms. It’s bouncy, this song; like jumping from your bedroom window onto a trampoline lined with flubber.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
/please/ - Chevrons


It’s becoming clearer and clearer that Ellen Davies aka. /please/ is doing something few others come close to mimicking. The Bristol songwriter’s craft is up there with Julia Holter and Julianna Barwick in steering conventional songwriting through strange, creeping vortexes, mixing sounds you didn’t deem relatable previous. This lead track from a release on Art Is Hard is all soft, lulling acoustics matched with a strange, semi-sickly aesthetic. Oddly beautiful.
