AN INDIE EXPRESS…
//
“ROWS OF CLOVER” is the latest single from @hcmcentire_music’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Every Acre’ (1/27 @mergerecords) & it finds the Durham, NC-based singer/songwriter, rounded out here by Luke Norton (guitar/Wurlitzer/keys), Casey Toll (upright/electric bass), Daniel Faust (drums/percussion) & Missy Thangs (keys/Farfisa/synth) lamenting a “steadfast hound” over a heartfelt piece of warmly lit & twanged Americana.
MOUNT EERIE are here w/ a new standalone track titled “HUGE FIRE,” which serves as @rjphil0’s contribution to the Tokyo-based label @7ep_tokyo’s new 20th anniversary comp ‘Colors’ & it finds the lifelong scene vet bringing a bass-driven & ramshackle’d piece of ArtRawk.
“PAINTED THE ROOM” is the final single in the run-up to @roziplain’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Prize’ (1/13 @memphis_industries) & it finds the Bristol-based artist bringing a wonderfully textured, hypnotically head_bobbin & spaciously sparse bout of artsy AvantPop.
“THE PICTURE ON THE WALL” is the bookend track from @truefaithx’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Go to Ground’ (1/10 @alacarterecords_ @candlepin_records@summerdarlingtapes) & it finds the Boston-based quintet of Travis (Vox/Guitar), Quentin (Guitar) Dylan (Bass), Francisco (Synth) & Tom (Drums) closing their Nu_waving opus out in a morose & moody manner.
Leafcutter John's 2020 touring plans may have been thwarted by the Coronavirus, but thanks to a clever scheme dreamt up by his agent Yuppies Music some of his mesmerising plotter artworks will be popping up in music venues across the UK in his place, as part of Super Cool Drawing Machine - the musicians art show.
John, along with a host of other musicians including Ed Dowie, Frànçois and The Atlas Mountains, Mammal Hands, Rozi Plain, Seb Rochford, Shabaka Hutchings, SNAPPED ANKLES and This Is The Kit, have lent their non-musical artworks to the travelling art show which will be stopping off at music venues in York, Birkenhead, Margate, Norwich, Bristol and London throughout November 2020 and January 2021. And if you'd like to go along to take a look, you can get a ticket HERE.

A tour poster for THIS IS THE KIT. One of my favourite bands and a hit with my children too, the “Rusty Dusty” song is often asked for and “The Turnip” song has us in tears every time. However, this tour poster of mine is totally fictitious, as are the dates. Oddly, the names of the towns and villages are not. @thisisthekit @roziplain @brassland @thenational #thisisthekit #artist #tourposter #wintertour #funnytownnames #katestables #ontour #artistoninstagram #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #wintersolstice #wintersun @elbowofficial #guygarvey @laurenlaverne @bbc6music https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pqpUiHz7H/?igshid=hivlsaw0l64w
