Beautiful Freaks kindly invited us to make a playlist for them, so here it is! Lots of recent and forthcoming new music from Upset The Rhythm.
Here’s a selection of tracks taken from our most recent and upcoming
releases stretching out to September this year. Where better to start
than with ‘Start The Tape’, perhaps Melbourne’s finest ode to Helen
Mirren. Taken from Terry’s new album ‘Remember Terry’ which is coming out at the start of
July, they’ll also be touring Europe around the same time, exciting
times!
Bamboo
are up next with their deeply evocative ‘Wake Up Your Heart’,
technically Act II Scene II from their incredible concept album ‘The
Dragon Flies Away’ out May 26th.
New signing Robert Sotelo dazzles with
‘Bronte Paths’ next, he doesn’t “want to be there when the people come
for change”, fair enough! Look out September as this is when his debut
album ‘Cusp’ will greet the day.
‘Jealous’ by Feature follows, although
no longer an active pursuit Feature have delivered an immense epitaph
with ‘Banishing Ritual’ out now!
Lisbon, Portugal’s Pega Monstro step up
for the next track, whipping up a frenzy of rhythmic excess before
sending their siren calls across the rough sea. Their new album entitled
‘Casa De Cima’ will be released through Upset
The Rhythm on June 2nd, not long now!
Where do you want to go now? How
about Japan? Pikacyu from Afrirampo and Makoto Kawabata from Acid
Mother’s Temple have teamed up to bring us a colossal album of psych pop
oddities. Coming out in August ‘Galaxilympics’ takes you to places on
the fringe of the known sonic galaxy and sounds all the more glorious
for it.
Nearing the finish now we have Rat Columns
who are presently touring Europe in support of their brand new record
‘Candle Power’. ‘Is This Really What You’re Like’ showcases what Rat
Columns do best, mixing upbeat music with downhearted subject matter,
its a tour de force of emotional pull and push.
The final track on this
mix comes originally from 1982 and sees Normil Hawaiians go epic with
one of their earliest long form songs taking in ghostly percussion,
questing synths and Guy Smith’s typically impassioned vocal delivery.
‘British Warm’ is taken from the band’s first album ‘More Wealth Than
Money’ which we will be reissuing later this year. Thanks for listening!
