Gallops reform, Announce new album 'Bronze Mystic', premiere new track 'Darkjewel' simon morley

In 2012, shortly after releasing their debut album 'Yours Sincerely, Dr Hardcore', a monstrous slab of experimental sci-fi rock,Gallops broke up while on tour with ASIWYFA.
It was a sad ending for a band at the height of their powers following an EP,7" and their first album.
But we heard rumblings last year that they were starting to work on new material, and they played a triumphant set at Arctangent festival at the end of last summer.

Now i'm really excited to announce they are BACK.

“We missed it too much, basically having some time away from the band gave us a fresh perspective and made us realise that Gallops still has life in it. It just needed a nap.”

Now they've woken from their nap, they sound revitalised, rejuvenated and driven.Bronze Mystic stretches their horizons further than ever before and is driven by the propulsive charge of electronic music. Their trademark wailing guitars and drums are far from strangers on the record, instead they are used to add flesh and muscle to the electronic skeleton of the record.

Bronze Mysticis released on April 21st on CD, Ltd Edition Coloured Vinyl and Digital Download and is available to pre-order now.

Check out the beastly 'Darkjewel'from Bronze Mystic, talk about a statement of intent!

Available to pre-order from our store with exclusive bundle options including a t-shirt, limited edition coloured vinyl and CD.

"A sonic triangle of electrified polyrhythms, spaced-out synth jams and off-kilter beats." Is how three-piece Strobes attempt to describe their occasionally indescribable debut album.
Formed of keyboardist Dan Nicholls (who has worked with Squarepusher and Matthew Herbert), drummer Joshua Blackmore (Troyka) and guitar and synth man Matt Calvert (Three Trapped Tigers, Heritage Orchestra) – this band has created an album that eschews genre and feels free from time-stamps. They are an intensely high-octane group that fire off frantic tempos and intricate complexities, yet they also retain an accessibility through fluid grooves and an engaging sense of melodic intuition. It’s an approach which Nicholls’ feels the group has adopted almost intentionally, “Our music seems to have naturally moved towards making something simple out of something complex – whether it be a lop-sided beat which is somehow danceable, a combination of patterns that form a melody, or improvisations where the instruments seem to blend into one another.”

The group interlock through Nicholls’ agile and sophisticated keyboard and bass synth work, Blackmore’s dizzying and immersive beats and Calvert’s riffs that shift from crunching noise to ecstatic grooves. The end result at times feels hectic and jittery, a scattered assault of slightly math-rock explorations, soaring post-rock guitars, grooving African rhythms and glitchy, pulverising electronics. Yet for all it's seeming restlessness, it contains a feeling of fluidity and restraint that adds a further sense of depth and cohesion to the record – it's additional jazz tinge making the finished album sound like something you might find on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label.

Originality is at the core of the group’s explorations and even the album’s title feels emblematic of their idiosyncratic output and approach, as Nicholls points out. "The title for me encapsulates this concept of odd-sounding rhythms and melodies, like a broken language which makes sense in it's own way. Wonky, off-kilter, a little foreign sounding." In an attempt to evade or demolish anything resembling singular genre exploration they have, somewhat paradoxically, ended up creating their own sound that traverses styles and eras. The most beautiful thing being that only direct exposure to the music itself will come close to revealing exactly what that sounds like.

Adam Betts announces debut album 'Colossal Squid' out Nov 25th simon morley

You guys may have met before! That's right, I'm super excited to announce the debut album from Adam Betts (you may know him as the drummer in Three Trapped Tigers). 'Colossal Squid' is due out Nov 25th on CD, Ltd Edition Yellow Vinyl and Digital Download.

'Colossal Squid’ showcases Betts' unique approach to music combining his love for the irregularities in electronic music (by the likes of Aphex Twin, Autechre and more recently Arca and Oneohtrix) with his visceral connection with live drums.

Check out the first track 'Drumbones' here:
