Wolf People: Silbury Sands

-

Though I didn't get the opportunity to really cover Wolf People's Steeple album for 2010, the band will be touring to support the album. Their new single, "Silbury Sands" is worth checking out: Nice progressive signatures and a legitimately classic tone.  The tour dates are only relevant if you're in the UK.  Information on the band's current happenings are courtesy of Jagjaguwar:

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings. The mostly repetitious loop'd loop of springy bass riffs and flat percussion offer Sleaford Mods the distinction of being the more sophistica

What I Heard This Morning: Snapped Ankles

Received notice this morning of a band called Snapped Ankles , who will be releasing a single in late March called, "True Ecology (Shit Everywhere)."  It's a decent art rock tune and my mind immediately went to Devo for comparison's sake.  The linked version of the song is very short, so I'm assuming it's an excerpt of the single. All info comes courtesy of Sure Shot PR. DEBUT SINGLE 'TRUE ECOLOGY (SHIT EVERYWHERE) OUT ON 25th MARCH 2013 London post-punk outfit Snapped Ankles release their debut single 'True Ecology (shit everywhere)' on Ears Have Eyes on 25th March 2013. Snapped Ankles throw together a fusion of searing off kilter post-punk but with a healthy blend of dance floor rhythms, synthesized noise and jagged aesthetics.
