THE GIG
Woman’s Hour, Teleman support Metronomy - Brixton Academy


Joseph Mount is a romantic and a gentlemen, if new Metronomy album ‘Love Letters’ is anything to go by. He’s also had his way with picking fantastic supports for tonight’s giant London headline gig. Woman’s Hour and Teleman share Metronomy’s knack for writing brilliant pop songs full of subtle twists and turns.

THE BIG NEU THING
Colours - You Can’t See Me


London-based musician Tom Crandles tries to stay in the shadows with his Colours project, but true to the name his music is too illuminated to provide any secrecy. Prog-influenced - like an in-between for Temples’ glittered psych and The Horrors’ krautrock flirtations - ‘You Can’t See Me’ is a maddened, industrial noise experiment. You’d imagine Tom’s studio to be more like a science lab than anything resembling the conventional type. This is the sound of a hundred bunsen burners wantonly leaking gas like there’s no tomorrow. This track features on a release via Father/Daughter.

NEU BUSINESS
LAFAWNDAH - BUTTER (prod. lafawndah&garagembanda)


All attention on the physical, Lafawndah doesn’t shy away from making her heated, sex-obsessed message clear: “Let me hear my bones crunking”, “Give me skin” she sings on top of shuffling, sparsely arranged sonics from Garagembanda. The Paris-based artist enjoys her own metamorphosis on ‘Butter’, covering every inch of an intimate moment, “teeth bang”’s and all.
