Over the last eight years Upset The Rhythm have inexhaustibly sought out the best underground sounds from all over the world. With fifty releases under their belt and their inspired series of YES WAY festivals they continually focus the spotlight on the UK’s own idiosyncratic DIY music. February 2012 sees the label hit the road with three incredibly inventive bands from their native soil to bring their pastoral punk, junked rhythms and tribal synth dance parties to the near and far of the United Kingdom. Upset The Rhythm’s Kingdom Tour sees GENTLE FRIENDLY, WAY THROUGH and PEEPHOLES team up to present a revolving lineup that resonates deep within landscape, drawing on forgotten pasts and remembered futures in equal measure.

Here’s a more in depth look at all the UTR artists featured on the tour…

GENTLE FRIENDLY are a duo from London, comprised of David Morris and Richard Manber, who have a penchant for circular melodies, tidal fuzz and rapid junked rhythms. With an austere setup of Casio keyboard, vocals and drums (sometimes electronic) the band push against the pop boundary, trapping their songs on record like a continuous sun-warped field recording. 2009 saw Gentle Friendly release their debut album 'Ride Slow' to critical acclaim, with Pitchfork even citing Clipse and Lil Wayne as influences on the band. Since then Gentle Friendly have remodeled and rebuilt their sound into a stronger beast at their home studio called Deep House. Bringing us up to date, new EP 'Rrrrrrr' is the first fruit to fall from the tree, with its seven tracks washing the band's insistent prism punk alongside more tender, filmic textures.

WAY THROUGH are a pastoral punk duo originally from Shropshire, now residing in London. Informed by the field as much as the flyover, Way Through write songs which phase in and out with guitar, tapes, damaged drums and vocals. Using wrong-footed repetition, rapid interplay and free-looping happenstance the band create a ragged yet intuitive tapestry of sound. Their songs walk the streets of market towns, wait forever at bus stops and lose themselves in edgelands. Way Through find great resonance with the spirit of place and try and channel its feeling into their music, joining the dots between lost places and deteriorating histories. Their debut album 'Arrow Shower' is out now on Upset The Rhythm, alongside the band's new deep map project of London's East End.

http://waythroughwithyou.blogspot.com/

PEEPHOLES are Katia Barrett (drums, vocals) and Nick Carlisle (keyboards). The Brighton / London duo formed in 2006 after bonding over a Chinese violin and the quietest of music. Pretty soon they turned the volume up and hit on their winning strategy of soaring, stammering synth lines, tribalised drumming and low-slung vocals. Walking a tightrope between underground punk and dance music, Peepholes write cloaked anthems as likely to open celestial gates with keys of repetition as to soundtrack a slow motion fairground accident. Their sound is otherworldly, aching with wild beats, echoing with cavernous atmospheres. Upset The Rhythm have released a split 12” and a mini-album entitled ‘Caligula’ most recently.

PEEPHOLES - Picture The World In Signs by Upset the Rhythm

Decidedly more motorik than the other tracks, 'Picture The World In Signs' finds relish in its unrelenting groove, allowing Kat to pitch plunge her vocal amongst the folds of psychedelic keyboard warmth. Like a resurgent memory, halfway through, the song recalls another direction, drowning in static waves, crushed drums and weird electronic parallels. The track reaches another plain, a new level higher than before, an evolving consciousness which is so true of Peepholes in general and this new record especially.

GENTLE FRIENDLY - 'Rrrrrrr' EP out NOW!

Kiwi Chang Cane MP3

Yes, we're very happy to shout from the rooftops that Gentle Friendly's new EP entitled 'Rrrrrrr' is OUT NOW through Upset The Rhythm on heavyweight white vinyl. You can buy it in all good stores around the world or from our webshop for £7 (inc. p+p within the UK) HERE!!!

Here's more on the record...

GENTLE FRIENDLY are a duo from London, comprised of David Morris and Richard Manber, who have a penchant for circular melodies, tidal fuzz and rapid junked rhythms. With an austere setup of casio keyboard, vocals and drums (sometimes electronic) the band push against the pop boundary, trapping their songs on record like a continuous sun-warped field recording. 2009 saw Gentle Friendly release their debut album ‘Ride Slow’ to critical acclaim, Uncut considered “No Age, Ponytail and Health as spiritual kin” whilst Pitchfork even cited Clipse and Lil Wayne as influences on the band. Since then Gentle Friendly have remodeled and rebuilt their sound into a stronger beast at their home studio called Deep House. Bringing us up to date, new EP ‘Rrrrrrr’ is the first fruit to fall from the tree, with its seven tracks washing the band’s more insistent prism punk alongside more tender, filmic textures.

‘Rrrrrrr’ as its name suggests uses repetition and a certain minimalist touch to create a wonderfully poignant wide-eyed record. But why Rrrrrrr? Rrrrrrr can be the sound of an engine idling, a death rattle, the buzz and howl under the influence of heat. The EP is standing in for a reality, away from words and closer to feeling, following instincts and worshipping the detail. Bittersweet in its tendency to mix more ecstatic moments alongside some contemplative pools, ‘Rrrrrrr’ shows how the band’s emotional range has grown since their debut. Opener ‘Kiwi Chang Cane’ leaps out of a nature sleep, the song swimming with resonance whilst its drums beat and tumble a path through the sidestepping static rush. The song races onwards, with gleeful ascending keyboards reaching out in a questlike fashion akin to the song’s Shaolin monk namesake’s attempt to find his lost brother. Meanwhile ‘Speakers’ finds Gentle Friendly in ballad form with gattling gun snare hits and David’s most heartfelt vocal yet. “Put your arm around the speaker … it’s like dancing without moving” he sings into the relative space of the track, moving focus squarely on a sense of resigned simplicity.

‘Rrrrrrr’ is a development for the band in terms of sound and production as much as lyrical scope and understanding. While their self-acknowledged influences (Arthur Russell, Bruce Springsteen, Top 40 hip-hop) are detectable, this record showcases Gentle Friendly as a band who have found their own language, drawing on nostalgia and ritual in equal measure, whilst continuing the tradition of English eccentricity and popular song. ‘Rome Rome’ sees Gentle Friendly at their most immediate, vacillating on overheard music David sings “On the radio she said you should put on a ring, if you like it, if you like it, turn it off”. His metronomic vocal delivery is unstoppable, the percussive treatment dicing itself into each spare beat, creating a feeling of transcendence and of galloping rush. In comparison, ‘Love Scenes’ is a positively nocturnal shift with its clubby house kick and spectral synth soup and panning drum shuffles. Seamlessly blending into ‘Rrride Slow’ with its pitched down vocal gurgle and channelled depths of caveman techno, the record enjoys throwing organic nature against distanced electronics in an almost meditative way.

Overlapping rhythms, looped mixtapes and revisited lyrical themes make rebirth an important touchstone for this release. This is perhaps best distilled with the track entitled ‘Rrrrr’. Stammering repetition finds a home in swirls of chorus-inflected atmosphere, chiming bells and shaken metal. There’s a feeling of inevitability in the slow melodic cycling and tribal drumming, the whole effect is one of focusing inwards and devotional crescendo. Gentle Friendly are masters of aching sentiment, overheard static and enraptured awakening and with this record they turn the quiet repeated actions of our everyday into a blissful all-consuming wave of saturation.

* See GENTLE FRIENDLY play LIVE with ISLET at The Lexington on November 16th!! More here: http://www.atpfestival.com/newsview/1110280956.php

WAY THROUGH - Arrow Shower LP out TODAY

WAY THROUGH are a pastoral punk duo originally from Shropshire, now residing in London. Informed by the field as much as the flyover, Way Through write songs which phase in and out with guitar, tapes, damaged drums and vocals. Using wrong-footed repetition, rapid interplay and free-looping happenstance the band create a ragged yet intuitive tapestry of sound. Their songs walk the streets of market towns, wait forever at bus stops and lose themselves in edgelands. 'Arrow Shower' is the title of Way Through's debut album, recorded in their practice space Deep House during a particularly heavy snowstorm in early winter 2011. The name of the album is taken from a set text of Philip Larkin's 'Whitsun Weddings' heavily annotated by a 14 year old schoolboy found in a junk shop in Much Wenlock, often described as England's most perfect village. Way Through find great resonance with the spirit of place and try and channel its feeling into their music, joining the dots between lost places and deteriorating histories. 'Arrow Shower' is out in stores from TODAY and you can buy it from UTR now here!

JOHN MAUS - Heading To The Old Country

That's right, John is coming over to Europe for the first time since 'Pitiless Censors' has been released. It's going to be an amazing trip and joining him at many of the shows will be his long time friend GARY WAR. A few more dates will be confirmed around this so watch this space!

KIT - OUT OF RUINS video!!!

KIT "Out of Ruins" music video from Steven Andrew Garcia on Vimeo.

Yeh, here's a new video for KIT's song 'Out Of Ruins', taken from their recent album 'Invocation' on Upset The Rhythm.

The 16mm film captures a Predator-masked kid with a guitar-smashing complex trailing around Los Angeles fulfilling his primal urge to destroy. We think it looks insane and wonderful so wanted to share it with you, look out for Jim Smith on the telephone too, "hello!"

Steven Andrew Garcia is a director/photographer in Los Angeles, California. He has directed music videos for bands including Mika Miko and Blackblack and has shot videos for bands including UTR pals Male Bonding and Former Ghosts.

YES WAY - THIS WEEK

We're taking this opportunity to remind you once again about all the bands playing our three day YES WAY festival this weekend at the Bussey Building. We still have some three day passes for just £18 as well as plenty of day tickets available, so come celebrate the UK's music underground with us! Times will be announced on the day at the venue, come early! Words...


YES WAY YES WAY YES WAY YES WAY YES WAY !!

*^*^*^ FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY ^*^*^*

YES WAY is a weekend festival celebrating the UK's best and brightest independent art and music.

Building on the success of the last two year's sold out events, it will see 42 bands, representing the length and breadth of the British Isles, perform over two stages at Peckham art hub, The Bussey Building.

We'll have Dalston's Underground Film Club (The Pictures) screening a special compilation of DIY documentaries, music videos and no-future shorts. Some chopped and rejigged live projections from Charles Chintzer Lai, interpretative canvas wrangling from Tim Hill and much more. A large scale screenprinted Ice Cream Tsunami skyline courtesy of Lydia Donut is being installed tomorrow and an exhibition is planned of many, many representations of this following promo photo of Mr Randy Newman:

RANDY PHOTO

Randy Newman? Yes, Randy Newman. In support of our recent release of our split Please / Spin Spin The Dogs LP whose artwork depicts the Randy above through the eyes of six different members of the band we've now broadened the obsession to everyone. If you'd like to bring your own Randy (artwork etc.), please do, come see us at the door and we'll hang it with the others.

There'll also be a temporary DIY supermarket (bring things, get involved), tasty local and afro-vegan food, and The Bussey Building's own jerk barbeque. Read on for more info on all the band's performing over the whole three days!

HEAVEN IS REAL

Our friend Adam has written a book about UTR's prodigal son JOHN MAUS and he has a book launch happening in London towards the end of this month, full details to follow, looks like a great event! UTR x




SOME WORDS >>>>

John Maus is one of the most intriguing artists in the millennial wave of lo-fi pop, assembling his unique and intimate language from synth pop, disco, baroque classical and church music. Yet Maus’s work is much more than another exercise in retroist hybridity, and his overtures on truth and love are, upon further listening, no mere ironic posturing. Does Maus have something to teach us about arriving at the truth through personal musical expression, or is he on a doomed Romantic adventure? Has he really discovered Heaven – and can he take us there?

YES WAY

It’s that time of the year for YES WAY to jump back in its saddle! Taking place between August 12-14, YES WAY is a London-based three day festival intent on celebrating the UK's best and brightest independent art and music.

After the success of last two year's sold out events, YES WAY 3 will see 45 bands, representing the length and breadth of the British Isles, perform over two stages this time at Peckham art hub The Bussey Building, previously used by UTR for their Spaghetti Tree festival in April to great success. We’ll have our usual DIY swapshop / record store, tasty local and Vegan food, now supplemented by the Bussey Building’s rooftop bar-BQ too.

YES WAY has been a real turning point for the UK’s underground music scene. The emphasis of the festival is on exposing under the radar gems from around the UK, uniting musicians from disparate genres and local scenes, helping to foster a sense of community and enthusiasm amongst them and fans of the music. The fact that only four of the acts this year played at last year’s event speaks volumes for the on-going fertility of that burgeoning community.

Over the course of the three days the following bands will be appearing at YES WAY:
