Kristin Hersh - back in London next April!

Upset The Rhythm presents…

KRISTIN HERSH (Electric Trio)
FRED ABONG 


Thursday 21 April 2022


The Garage, 20-22 Highbury Corner, London, N5 1RD

7.30pm | £25 | https://link.dice.fm/LbdJu2HTUjb

KRISTIN HERSH, most recognised as the front person for the influential art-punk band Throwing Muses and power trio 50FOOTWAVE, will be touring the UK in Spring 2019 with Rob Ahlers (50 Foot Wave) on drums and Fred Abong (Throwing Muses, Belly) on bass. Throwing Muses first gained traction in the early '80s, playing with similarly singular artists, such as The Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. They continue to release ground-breaking music, most recently with 2013's double CD masterpiece 'Purgatory/Paradise'. Kristin's solo career spun off in 1994 with the release of 'Hips and Makers', a widely acclaimed album that included 'Your Ghost', a duet with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe. Since then, Kristin has released a steady stream of distinctly individual solo albums, including 2010's 'Crooked', released as her first in the inventive book/CD format for which she is now known.

2016's 'Wyatt at the Coyote Palace', on which Kristin played all of the instruments, received rave reviews; an explosive defined by blistering guitars, powerful drumming and her signature visceral vocal technique. Her poignant true stories bring the listener into what the BBC calls Hersh's "dark and dizzy world". In 2004, Kristin formed the noise rock power trio 50FOOTWAVE, releasing a series of frighteningly intense mini-albums, all available for download free of charge. Their most recent 'Bath White' EP was described as "a series of loud explosions, of velvet like dreams all intermingled at the same time. Bath White takes no prisoners." Kristin's writing career has flourished with the highly acclaimed 'Paradoxical Undressing' (released as 'Rat Girl' in the USA) and the award winning 'Don't Suck, Don't Die', a personal account of her long friendship with the late Vic Chesnutt, as well as the enchanting books which now accompany each of her record releases. Kristin's tenth studio album, 'Possible Dust Clouds' was a highly personalised sociopathic gem delivered as a futuristic rewriting of how music works, a melodious breeze with a tail wind of venomous din. Enveloping the juxtaposition of the concept of 'dark sunshine', a brooding solo record created with friends to expand her off-kilter sonic vision; a squally, squeaky mix of discordant beauty. 'Possible Dust Clouds' is a glorious return to form for one of alternative rock's true innovators.

FRED ABONG will be supporting Kristin on her current UK tour dates. Fred is a friend of Kristin’s and former Throwing Muses and Belly bass player. Fred will be touring his new solo acoustic EP, described by himself as sounding like a “ragged Replacements”.

Hen Ogledd - London concert booked for December 7th!

 

Now we’re increasingly becoming free humans we have a long overdue HEN OGLEDD show to share with you! Dust off your diary for Dec 7th! This will be rhyfeddol!



Upset The Rhythm presents…

HEN OGLEDD
Tuesday 7 December
Corsica Studios, 4 & 5 Elephant Rd, London, SE17 1LB
7.30pm | £14 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/ubtrl5YlLjb

A band project comprising Richard Dawson, Rhodri Davies, Dawn Bothwell and Sally Pilkington, Hen Ogledd’s meaning comes from the Welsh name for The Old North. Following on from the quartet’s previous album Mogic, with its digital overtones and themes of artificial intelligence, Hen Ogledd's second album Free Humans takes a deliberately organic and natural approach. Inspired as much by ABBA as the work of 12th century mystic-composer-naturalist-visionary Hildegard von Bingen, touched equally by the spirits of radical philosophical plumber Mary Midgley and PC Music star Hannah Diamond, as quiet as the paintings of Agnes Martin yet bombastic like a Werner Herzog documentary... it’s an album of seamless, glorious contradictions.

Tackling themes of love, friendship, Gaia theory, sewers, the nature of time, human stench, and the thrills of wild swimming, it’s remarkable that, given the intense collision of influences and wide-ranging ideas at play, Free Humans somehow coheres into a marvellous whole. Hen Ogledd manages to hold both the tragedy of the wrongs happening in the world and also a sense of hope and liberation in their hands at the same time.

Robert Sotelo announces 'Celebrant' album, new single revealed!

Time to celebrate the arrival of ‘Celebrant’, Robert Sotelo’s classy new album of pristine DIY pop out Nov 12th on Upset The Rhythm! 

Today we’re announcing this ambitious synth-centric collection of unbridled songs with Sotelo’s ultra-catchy first single ‘Influencer’. ‘Influencer’ is released today as a digital single in all habitual zones and in this mind-warping video of Sotelo’s cryogenically-preserved head reanimated in song, yes really!

‘Celebrant’ is available to pre-order now in our UTR webshop, heads you win!
x




Sotelo is a mercurial melodist building a resplendent world of pristine DIY pop from the ground up. The Glasgow-based artist’s songs are meticulously crafted, patchworked together with eclectic arrangements and ardent vocal performances. ‘Celebrant’ was intended to be and still is to some extent a joyous wedding album (Sotelo is recently married), but in his own words “the pandemic and the death of my aunt Carmen intersected with the original concept so the album is darker than intended in places.” More cinematic and measured than prior albums, Sotelo expounds that “it is purposefully a bigger sounding attempt at my keyboard songs and I felt more ambitious about it in general.” That’s certainly reflected in these twelve sophisticated loops of song, all curiously affecting and catchy, sprinkled with Sotelo’s offbeat musings and keenly accurate observations. Guitars are rarely employed on this record with Sotelo recruiting Iain Mccall, Ross Blake, Celia Morgan and David Maxwell to contribute brass, woodwind, spoken word and acoustic drums respectively. All of these additions blend well with the album’s synthetic core, softening and subtly shaping its pop-first nature into something more nuanced, vulnerable and human.

With ‘Celebrant’ Robert Sotelo has made an album that sounds as big as its heart and imagination, true depth of feeling, true depth of connection. It’s an ornate album, complex and thoughtful, a fitting tribute to a wedding in unsettled times. What a treat that we’ve all been invited to the reception!

screensaver - Skin (video)

Melbourne post-punks screensaver return with their sparking new single ‘Skin’ today!
Clash have kindly premiered the track with the video over here!

Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ya video!

 

"Running with the torches!” Seeing that it’s a new moon we’re sharing Bertie Marshall’s new video for polyrhythmic thrill-ride ‘Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ya’ today! A crush/crash of energy, feedback and colour in sound and vision. The video is also accompanied by a reflection from Bertie on the Behaviour Red 7”s first outing (1982) from his forthcoming memoir too! ‘Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ya’ appears on Bertie’s album ‘Exhibit’, out this Halloween on Upset The Rhythm.

Bertie Marshall - 'Ke ke ke ke ke ya' premieres!

Thanks to Ears to Feed for premiering 'Ke ke ke ke ke ya' by Bertie Marshall today! 

"After a brief stint fronting the post-punk pioneers Behaviour Red — they released one single in ‘82 and went on a mini-tour — Bertie Marshall managed to create a body of music, which, with the benefit of nearly 40 years of hindsight, showcases how ahead of the curve he was with forging a discordant but rhythmic post-punk sound."

Trash Kit concert - next week in London!!!

 

Hello everyone! Upset The Rhythm returns with our first London live concert in 16 months next week. We’re beyond excited! Next level of next level. On Thursday 2nd September we will be holding court at The 100 Club with truly the very best company: Trash Kit, Es and No Home.   Seems somewhat surreal and infinitely exhilarating at the same time. Trash Kit will be bringing their 110% polyrhythmic joy to help kick off our renewed live programme, accompanied by their fierce choir and bonus violinist too. It’s a total trip to invite Es to play too for the first time since we released their debut album last year and with No Home opening the show we’re in for the mightiest of treats, lucky us!   Tickets are available at this link or on the door from 7.30pm on the day. The 100 Club’s covid policy is one of non-attendance if you feel unwell prior to the concert FYI. Read on for the whole story, along with listings for our other upcoming shows for Nightshift and Gad Whip too.

Also, here’s a quick reminder that Jake Xerxes Fussell's upcoming concert at Oslo Hackney on September 1st is now set to take place on May 7th 2022, apols for any inconvenience, touring Europe right now is still pretty headache-inducing for international artists.   This last week we also confirmed new live events for Shannon Lay and Naima Bock on November 15th at St Pancras Old Church, and for Astrid Sonne and Nexcyia at IKLECTIK on November 16th too. Full details of all UTR live outings can be found at the conclusion of this missive.

OK, one last thing to get you in the mood for Friday night! Here’s ‘Vacant Street’, the second single from Philip Frobos’sforthcoming debut LP and novel ‘Vague Enough to Satisfy’!   Out now as a digital single, alongside his take on the standard ‘My Funny Valentine’ as the b-side, ‘Vacant Street’ is a fizzy trip of ‘Whammy’-era B52s groove, hooky basslines and enough muted meanderings to make you wanna join Philip in a sprightly skinny dip. Baker Street!

‘Vague Enough to Satisfy’ is released by Upset The Rhythm on LP, and published by Hex Enduction in novel form on October 1st.   Find them both available to pre-order in our UTR webshop here, along with new forthcoming titles from Clear History, Bertie Marshall, Normil Hawaiians and screensaver too, busy as busy!

Upset The Rhythm presents…   TRASH KIT ES NO HOME Thursday 2nd September 100 Club, 100 Oxford St, Oxford Street, W1D 1LL 7.30pm | £12 |  https://link.dice.fm/orNKF57yWgb   TRASH KIT are Rachel Aggs (guitar, vocals), Rachel Horwood (drums, vocals) and Gill Partington (bass). Three deeply creative individuals who play in a multitude of other groups including Bas Jan, Sacred Paws, Shopping and Bamboo, united by a shared decade of spry musicality that surges through their bodies, hearts and heads with Trash Kit. Their songs once succinct, patchwork post-punk numbers of an honest diary-like nature now tussle more with long-form songwriting, expeditious polyphony and cascades of sung-spoke vocals. Recent tracks like 'Disco' have had their very fabric stretched into smart new shapes, allowing the band to run away with refrains and unlock the dancefloor. Although Trash Kit have their forebears in bands like Sleater Kinney, The Ex and The Raincoats, their sound is still very much their own take on facing forwards and relies as much on the naturalism of an internalised folk music as on their sincerity of vision.   Since forming in 2009, Trash Kit have released two albums for Upset The Rhythm and a selection of singles, 2019 however saw them make their most majestic move yet with their resoundingly huge ‘Horizon’ album. For this album, carefully crafted through years of playing out live, the band have chased down the distance between what they wanted the record to sound like and its realisation. They've augmented these songs with choral arrangements, piano, saxophone, harp, viola and cello. Pulling ideas from everywhere between the earth and sky, to push themselves further, to go beyond. Aggs' guitar playing for this album was informed by her love of guitar music from Zimbabwe, her cyclical motifs billow with lean Mbira rhythms. Horwood has similarly approached her drumkit with an untamable freedom, allowing it to breathe as a vivid lead instrument. Trash Kit's music is woven with silence and punctuation, and this is where the resonant, driving bass of Partington fits in. The bass has become now central to shaping the melody of this new collection of songs. Trash Kit's approach to life as with music is one of openness, inclusion and potential and Horizon is an album with that in dutiful abundance. It is an album that forever listens for the next moment and will meet you once more at the vanishing point. https://www.facebook.com/Trashkit4lyfe   ES is Maria Cecilia Tedemalm (vocals), Katy Cotterell (bass), Tamsin M. Leach (drums) and Flora Watters (keyboards). Their 2016 debut EP, Object Relations, released on influential London punk label La Vida Es Un Mus, was described as "mutant synth-punk for our dystopian present" (Jess Skolnik, Bandcamp, Pitchfork). The band has since become a vital presence in London's underground DIY music scene, as well as having toured the UK with the Thurston Moore Group in 2017. ‘Less of Everything’. The title of Es' first full length LP could be interpreted as a manifesto pledge, an outright demand or a purely literal sonic descriptor of the London quartet's glacial form of punk rock music. This tension between intent and interpretation has been a fundamental element of the group's output from their formation. The dynamic between Cotterell's bass and Watters' keyboard is at the heart of Es’ sound: intertwining sub-zero melodies, gothic anarcho-punk influences and some kind of entirely unlocatable aquatic component. When combined with Leach's precise drumming, the outcome is original and immediately recognisable. This provides the perfect backdrop for Tedemalm's relentless, pointed vocal style. While comparable 'cold' sounding groups might affect an impersonal, safer mode of lyrical or vocal detachment, Tedemalm's strategy is to "push the lyrics as far as I can thematically until they become absurd … overly dramatic ... while still being sincere in the feeling they're trying to invoke. ‘Less of Everything’ was released last year by Upset The Rhythm. https://esband.bandcamp.com/   NO HOME is the lo-fi rock solo project of Charlotte Valentine, who fuses the grunge and ambient songs of early 00s new york rock, with an urgent, captivating call to self preservation. Having enthralled audiences at Decolonise Fest and support slots with Downtown Boys, Moor Mother and Big Joanie, No Home's recordings are full of unease and disorientation, modal melodies interwoven with rolling rhythmic noise. Valentine’s powerful voice and experimental song structures dilate and expand time, pushing against the boundaries of genre and resisting enclosure. Surviving under capitalism is a drag—it’s the oldest story in rock’n’roll—but No Home captures the weight of its dehumanization in a uniquely visceral way. https://nohome.bandcamp.com/

Upset The Rhythm presents… GAD WHIP FATHERFIGURES SEAN SMITH (DJ) Friday 15 October PinUps, 1 Tolpuddle Street, Angel, London, N1 0XT 7.30pm | £7.00 | https://link.dice.fm/zoP2qXE2Agb      GAD WHIP formed in 2014 and blend avant-garde sensibilities with a contemporary take on the place where DIY culture meets post-punk. Hints of deconstructed garage rock and interstellar voyaging through sweat drenched waking dreams. Immediate, powerful, confounding and kept in place by wry, sometimes observational, semi-spoken vocals. This is music primed perfect for any 21st century meltdown in a suburban sprawl. Their music has been released by a range of labels, from NYC’s Ever/Never Records, Germany’s X-Mist Records, Canada’s Arachnidiscs Recordings and UK/Poland based Fourth Dimension Records. https://gadwhip.bandcamp.com   FATHERFIGURES released their debut album “Any Time Now…And High Time Too” in spring 2021. What do they sound like? Post-punk; exhaust fumes seeping from a neighbour's garage after nightfall; the gnawing of unresolved disputes with real and imagined foes; the inner voices arguing amongst themselves until one walks off in disgust. That sort of thing.  https://fatherfiguresuk.bandcamp.com/      SEAN SMITH (DJ set) https://soundcloud.com/undeleted/punkrockdisco-witch-hunt?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1 https://undeleted.wordpress.com/

Upset The Rhythm presents…   NIGHTSHIFT Friday 29 October New River Studios, 199 Eade Rd, Harringay, London, N4 1DN 7.30pm | £7 | https://link.dice.fm/ZGB7YNg89gb   NIGHTSHIFT formed in 2019 in the ecosystem of Glasgow's current indie scene. The city's fertile & creative group of musicians have been committed to pushing the boundaries of and blurring the lines between DIY, punk, experimentalism and indie pop for decades now. Nightshift fit right in, featuring members from current indie stalwarts Spinning Coin, 2 Ply and Robert Sotelo. The band was formed by David Campbell (guitar), Andrew Doig (bass), Eothen Stearn (keyboards/vocals) & Chris White (drums) as a "No Wave/No New York/early Sonic Youth/This Heat-esque" group, but their sound quickly evolved once guitarist/vocalist/clarinetist Georgia Harris joined (as the band was writing ‘Zöe’). Nightshift self-released a full-length cassette on CUSP Recordings in early 2020, laying the foundation of their sound; hypnotic, melodic, understated indie post-punk with hooks that stick around long after you've heard them.   Unlike the band's previous album, the songs on ‘Zöe’ weren't conceived live in the band's practice space, but rather pieced together and recorded remotely during quarantine lockdown. The isolation actually allowed for an openness and creativity to flow and many of the songs took on radically different forms from when they were originally envisioned. Vocalist & primary lyricist Eothen Stearn says "The process of writing these songs separately during lockdown was a kind of exquisite corpse - I liked this gesticulation of reaching out to one another and responding. Building up the next layer and passing it on." Stearn says "poetic restraints" to writing & Eno & Schmidt’s Oblique Strategies concepts were on their mind when composing the words to the songs, and highlights the influence of author Rosi Bradiotti's book ‘The Posthuman’. ‘Zöe’ kicks off with ‘Piece Together’, a mesmeric song anchored by the band's chanted vocals and serpentine guitar licks. ‘Spraypaint the Bridge’ showcases Harris' clarinet in an unexpected & delightful melodic shift during the song's anti-chorus. Elsewhere tunes like the swooning ‘Infinity Winner’ and  ‘Outta Space’s minimalist, slinky rhythm swirl in a late-night vibe, while ‘Make Kin’ ruminates on "Looking to kinship as a way of engaging with entangled environmental and reproductive issues... how a band is a bond" and lurches forward with kinetic guitar strangling & staccato rhythmic percussion from White & Doig. ‘Power Cut’ is the album's centerpiece, luring the listener into involuntary movement with its waves of harmonies, synth drones and metronomic pulse, until they all come crashing down in the song's dissonant midsection.  The band acknowledges the whiffs of nostalgia prevalent in ‘Zöe’s songs, and the nature of writing & recording the album is soaked in the self-work, reflection & reevaluations involved not only personally but creatively in each member's lives. Consequently, ‘Zöe’ has become a collection of sketches of hope, growth, awareness of the power of the world & the power of self and possibility. https://nightshiftgroup.bandcamp.com/

Thank you as ever for taking the time to read this. Have a brilliant long weekend and we’ll actually see you in person next Thursday! Oi oi oi Upset The Rhythm

New concert announced for Shannon Lay in London!

 

Upset The Rhythm presents…

SHANNON LAY
NAIMA BOCK
Monday 15 November
St Pancras Old Church, Pancras Road, King's Cross, NW1 1UL
7.30pm | £12.50 | Tickets:  https://link.dice.fm/LWiCXICpNib 

SHANNON LAY is a L.A. singer-songwriter whose work is of a plainspoken mysticism that goes to the small, bright truth of things, showcasing her unusual songwriting and quietly commanding voice. Shannon has been dominating the local scene in Los Angeles over the past few years, leaving everyone who witnesses completely breathless.

Shannon’s new album, 'Geist', is tender intensity, placeless and ethereal. It exists in the chasms of the present - a world populated by shadow selves, spiritual awakenings, déjà vu, and past lives. “Something sleeps inside us,” Lay insists on the opening track, and that’s the guiding philosophy throughout. A winding, golden, delicate thread of intuition that explores the unknown, the possibility.

Lay tracked vocals and guitar at Jarvis Tavinere of Woods’s studio, then sent the songs out to multi-instrumentalists Ben Boye (Bonnie Prince Billy, Ty Segall) in Los Angeles and Devin Hoff (Sharon Van Etten, Cibo Matto) in New York; trusting their musical instincts and intuition. She then sent those recordings to Sofia Arreguin (Wand) and Aaron Otheim (Heatwarmer, Mega Bog) for additional keys, while Ty Segall contributed a guitar solo on “Shores.”

As a whole, 'Geist' is both esoteric and accessible. There’s the concise, pared-back cover of Syd Barrett’s tilt-a-whirl-esque 'Late Night', while 'Rare to Wake', inspired by Dune, is existential and meditative, a circular guitar riff looping at the core of it.  'Awaken and Allow', is ancient-feeling and mainly a cappella, its melody channels her deep Irish roots, a moment of reflection, before a drop happens - its intensity mirroring the anticipation and anxiety that come with taking the first step to accepting change. 'Geist' is released on October 8th through Sub Pop.

NAIMA BOCK co-founded Goat Girl with friends at age 15, and after releasing their debut album on Rough Trade Records she left the band to explore other musical avenues. Her music now combines folk influenced songwriting with jazzy instrumentation, partially inspired by Naima's childhood growing up in Brazil.
