Almost super weekend funtime. Here are two singles that didn’t make it to singles club.

Pivot - In The Blood (Warp)
Everett: “The first band ever signed to Warp without being seen live by co-founder Steve Beckett”…I’m not sure why this is a recommendation.
Kick: Warp are really casting out in search of new ’sonic terrain’. away from their IDMy rep.
Jesse: It’s quite masterful so far, innit? I’d play this during The Act.
Kick: Only if it was someone you didn’t know very well. Not for conception.
Louis: I listened to this four times yesterday and it slid off my brain every time. I am trying. It’s likethe incidental music in Terminator - except jammy!
Kick: Yeah, like publishing yr notebook or whatever.
Everett: Nice lack of vox. especially as it keeps threatening to break out.
Louis: If I was Steve Beckett i think I’d like to see them live - I have no idea how they might look.
Jesse: It makes some sort of weird sense. It’s a jam, but not a mush.
Everett: Yeah, this would rock live.
Louis: So in summary: synths, sinister, slightly post-rocky, skronky guitar, not going anywhere in particular but doing it with a certain elan.
Jesse: It’s two terminators in The Act only then the baby is born immediately out of some robot channel and it’s a pod and this is also the soundtrack of its birth.
Kick: And then they cut its head off and use it as a battery.

Their video was supposed to go here, but it won’t embed. Here instead.

Navvy - Robot (Angular Recording)
Everett: Mates of The Long Blondes…
Louis: Let’s stop! Let’s start! Let’s play cowbell!
Everett: I blame Bis. They made it ok for indie kids to shout like grown-ups.
Kick: Can’t really imagine these guys and the Long Blondes, except perhaps as warring neighbours.
Jesse: Sub-voidoids.
Everett: Long Blondes really like this kinda music. All their supports are like this. No competition, y’see?
Jesse: Can anyone hear what he’s saying? I’m a bit close.
Everett: I’M A ROBOT (at a guess).
Kick: This isn’t what robots sound like.
Jesse: “You’re easy to turn off!” (That’s what he said).
Everett: The drums suck. Not the cowbell - cowbell always rules. Just the drums
Kick: Robots wd consider this fleshy and inefficient.
Jesse: Yeah, the drums are a bit…basic.
Everett: I consider robots cold and inhuman.
