Hello again!
Huge thanks to all of you for coming out this last week to support our
Kate Carr, Pega Monstro and Terry shows. Next week is also a busy one for Upset
The Rhythm as we have two more shows on! On Tuesday we’re hosting an evening at
OSLO for the truly sublime Grumbling Fur, whose new album is a swirling
world of perfect pop head-warps. In support we’re very lucky to have Dan
Hayhurst of Sculpture performing a solo set too. Then next Saturday we’re
welcoming Sauna Youth home from their vastly awesome US tour with a
concert planned at Kamio (formerly the Red Gallery). David West, Score
and Middex will also be playing that one, plus General Echo
Soundsystem will be holding down the decks all night, tops! Full details on
both of those winners to follow, plus ticket available for both too, links
below.
Today, we’re also ecstatic to announce a further Kristin Hersh show after
her first one has sold out so quickly! Popular demand demanding it and all
that! So, if you haven’t got a ticket already, Wednesday 23rd
November is the new date for this additional show at St John on Bethnal Green.

GRUMBLING
FUR is the joint
manifestation of Alexander Tucker and Daniel O’Sullivan which, since 2011, has
birthed a series of increasingly focussed albums of psychedelic pop. Shaping
their sound are some long-standing shared musical affections, a polyglot music
encompassing orchestrated poptones, collage, dub and beat-making as well as
experimental and drone elements: touchtones might include Faust, Arthur
Russell, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Moondog, Michael Nyman, Gate, Syd Barrett,
Stereolab, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Ashtray Navigations, Cc Hennix and Madlib.
2016 is a already a year of intense activity for Tucker and O’Sullivan outside of Grumbling Fur: Tucker’s latest comic was featured in Art Review, a full publication, World In The Force, is due soon on Breakdown Press, along with a new solo album. O’Sullivan has been at the core of the wildly successful This Heat reconstitution, and with Massimo Pupillo of Zu recently released Laniakea. As part of Ulver, he released ATGCLVLSSCAP, a pan-zodiacal excursion in sound, and imminently there’ll be a new album from Æthenor (a collaboration between O’Sullivan, Steve Noble and Stephen O’Malley). In the guise of the Grumbling Fur Time Machine Orchestra, Tucker and O’Sullivan have just released a 12” of ROSE, their collaborative piece with Turner Prize-nominee Mark Titchner, who in turn produced the artwork for forthcoming GF album, ‘Furfour’. There’ve also been a series of live collaborations with Charlemagne Palestine.
New album, ‘Furfour’, is a record that’s the sum of a dizzying array of creative projects. It’s an album whose warm heart is shaped, say Grumbling Fur, by birth, loss, friendship, death, those things that happen to us all. Yet as ever with this duo, it’s altered through fantasy and sci-fi, Carlos Castenada, shamanic mind warp, house ghosts and meditation. It’s a curious, generous-hearted and organic-sounding record that has its mood set by the easy harmonising of O’Sullivan and Tucker’s voices as they oat melodiously above clackering rhythms of "Milky Light," strings as celestial beings in "Silent Plans," scraps of half-heard spiritual texts and, conversely, the synth pop banger of "Acid Ali Khan" which sounds, as one writer once summed up Grumbling Fur, “like Depeche Mode in a stone circle”. ‘Furfour’ is out on September 16th on Thrill Jockey records, release party anyone?

DAN HAYHURST, sonic section of AV duo, Sculpture, performs structurally unstable material from his new solo LP, Critter Party, assimilating elements of technological psychedelia, noise, media collage and shape shifting electronics. This is music that operates at the point where patterns emerge from chaos (or perhaps the point of disintegration). Emotional and direct performance is skewed through a matrix of tape decks, samplers and electronic instruments. Warped guitar and percussion moiré meet fragments of media detritus and electronic sound. Post-criticality... critters just want to party.

SAUNA YOUTH
are an evolving band of future humans
making truly irregular punk, not quite comparable to anything else.
"Weird" is a meaningless platitude and "art punk" is a
classifier that shouldn't be required. Consisting of Boon (drums, vocals),
Pines (guitar), Ecke (vocals, sampler) and Mince (bass), Sauna Youth are a punk
band that's happy to embrace all of the contradictions that go along with that
notion. On paper, Sauna Youth sound considered - live, they can barely be
contained. They are at times furious, unstoppable and severe, with the sampler
wailing like an alarm coming from a parallel universe - then chugging, poppy,
harmonious and fun. Forever loud. Last year’s totemic ‘Distractions’ album
(Upset The Rhythm) is a record that feels instinctive and natural, flowing
freely from a band that have come to terms with the sum of its parts. This
jam-packed show welcomes back Sauna Youth to their hometown following on from
their debut US tour this month.
DAVID WEST draws inspiration from free-thinking
artists of the past and present on his new polyphonic platter (‘Peace or
Love’), from soft indie strumming and free soundscapes, to disco and soul-pop.
West currently plays in the guitar pop band Rat Columns, synth-pop project
Liberation and post-punk trio Rank/Xerox, and has been in varied acts such as
Lace Curtain, Burning Sensation, Total Control and Whalehammer. Peace or Love
(out now on Tough Love) is a collection of songs stemming from wild and free
bedroom four-track cassette recordings and personal hard drive sample raiding,
with contributions from various musical friends in Perth, Western Australia and
SF/LA, California.
SCORE make blown-out energetic no
wave/anarcho noise; all the right amounts of harsh, sassy structure, bile and
beauty. Members of Woolf, Dregs and Cop come together in a gritty torrent of
rawboned hardcore bratpunk, primitive and pounding, searing and surging. Demo
imminent, no link yet!
MIDDEX
trades in suburban deliberation
and galactic musings. This is outer space hidden in the outer boroughs
plastered over the flat thump of frosted Perspex hearts. Check out his two
lathe cut 7”s out now on Polytechnic Youth.
