Gazelle Twin 'Anti Body' Vinyl LP - Blue
£7.99
Gazelle Twin is the creation of producer, composer and artist, Elizabeth Bernholz. Her acclaimed debut LP, The Entire City (2011, Anti-Ghost Moon Ray) and Mammal EP (2013, Sugarcane Recordings) is soon to be succeeded by the new, industrial-pop full-length, UNFLESH (2014).
In March, the creep-out single Belly Of The Beast gathered a slew of praise from the likes of Dazed & Confused, The FADER, Q, Clash, SPIN, as well as radio airplay from BBC Radio 1, 6 Music (courtesy of Mira Calix), XFM. An unofficial remix by Tom Demac also emerged for Skream and Benga's BBC Radio 1 show on 14 March.
The second dripfeed will arrive on 27 May packaged on limited edition, blue 12" vinyl with a b-side and remixes. A string of rare UK and EU live dates, from Brighton to Berlin will accompany the release throughout May.
Anti Body ramps up the stripped back, industrial-form first glimpsed in Belly of The Beast; here, deadpan vocals hammer out anxious sentiment over machine-drums and broken Moog arpeggios, (courtesy of Benge at Memetune studios), like Suicide meets NIN but really feminine and modern" according to Claire Boucher aka Grimes (via tumblr) who heard the demo in 2013.
B-side, Phobia, is starker still, recalling the vast inner-landscapes of The Entire City, but with a gentle claustrophobia. Exploring the dark drama at play, Wrangler contribute an ultraminimal, techno reworking, with shocks of dungeonesque vocals by ex Cabaret Voltaire frontman, Stephen Mallinder.
The Goblin soundtrack-inspired, I Speak Machine (aka Tara Busch) flies offworld with her offering; soaring in an arrestingly creepy major key, with lead vocals slowed right down to an uneasy stammer. Anti Body's accompanying music film comes courtesy of British director, photographer and designer Chris Turner. Playing out scenes reminiscent of a 1980's teen horror movie, the faceless girl in school-blue sportswear emerges from a communal shower room with unsettling consequences.

Visit product page →Latest album by Lebanese experimental folk singer/songwriter Youmna Saba. A collaboration between Ruptured in Lebanon and Touch in the UK.- "Wishah" (meaning veil in Arabic) is a composition in five stages, written by Youmna Saba between 2021 and 2022, for voice, oud and electronics.
Following her previous solo works "Njoum" (2014) and "Arb’een" (40) (2017), this album marks a significant turning point in Saba's journey. Created after leaving Beirut and settling in Paris, "Wishah" reveals a profound shift in her musical expression, informed by rigorous research in the sonic properties of sung Arabic phonemes and their role in shaping synthesised electronic sounds. The album employs a digital extension for the oud, a concept developed by Saba in her research project 'Taïma’.
This device enhances the oud's sonic range, seamlessly integrating synthesised electronics. It also amplifies subtle, often overlooked sounds generated during playing, such as resonances and fingerboard friction. The composition is organized into five distinct stages, each contributing to a process of gradual revelation. As the tracks unfold, they strip away layers of constructed emotions and perceptions that have been intricately woven over time, to expose a space that no longer exists. Wishah is a farewell to home. Youmna Saba (born in Beirut, 1984) is a musician, composer and musicologist.
Her current research focuses on instrument and space resonances in different sonic and musical contexts. With four albums to this date, she has collaborated with musicians of different musical expressions such as Kamilya Jubran, Floy Krouchi, Mike Cooper and the Neue Vocalsolisten ensemble, and has taken part in numerous artist residencies.
She is the laureate of the first sound residency at Quai Branly Museum, Paris (2022-2023) with her research project and installation “La Réserve des Non-Dits”, now on view at the museum; and a laureate of the music residency program at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2020-2021).Tracklisting:

ANTON NEWCOMBE and DOT ALLISON announce that they will be releasing an album together under the moniker All Seeing Dolls. ‘’Parallel’ will be out in February 2025. Today they share the single ‘That’s Amazing Grace’.
Anton Newcombe is the founder, the sole constant and the creative mastermind at the centre of one of music’s most fascinating bands; Brian Jonestown Massacre. He’s a frontman, songwriter, composer, studio owner, multi-instrumentalist, producer, engineer, father and force of nature.
There have been 21 BJM albums over the last 30 years, each embarking on their own mind-expanding adventure and exploring the outer realms of rock’n’roll; psychedelic rock, country-blues, snarling rock’n’roll, blissed-out noise-pop and more. Newcombe has established himself as a once-in-a-lifetime talent, a revolutionary force in modern music and an underground hero. Dot Allison released her debut solo album Afterglow in 1999.
Over the years she has strived to keep the listener on a journey – and herself too. She revolts against what she has done before, to evolve and not just occupy the same space. That journey has taken her from Afterglow’s broad church (trip-hop, Tim Buckley-esque ballads, dance tracks, chilled psychedelia) to the sultry synth-pop of We Are Science (2002), the lush, baroque Exaltation Of Larks (2007) and the eclectic, rootsy drama of Room 7½ (2009). After a hiatus to raise her family she returned with the graceful acoustic folk record Heart-Shaped Scars (2021) and the haunting, barely there beauty of Consciousology (2023).
The range of guest stars on Allison’s records is equally broad: where else would you find a cast list that includes Kevin Shields, Hal David, Paul Weller, Pete Doherty and Darren Emerson. Likewise, Allison’s own guest roles with the likes of Massive Attack, Scott Walker, Slam, Philip Shepard, The Babyshambles & Pete Doherty, underlining the huge respect her peers hold her in.Tracklisting:

Two Times UK Blues Award winner Mississippi MacDonald presents his third album on APM Records. ‘I Got What You Need’ is a statement from a troubadour coming into town bearing songs of soul searching, of spiritual uplift, and of tunes to groove to. Equipped with a powerful voice and stinging guitar Mississippi MacDonald lays down his marker.
MacDonald continues to be an excellent interpreter of southern soul and two more songs from the stable of Memphis studio and publishing house Ecko in Hard Luck and Trouble and the title track prove this. So too the band’s take on the R&B classic We’re Gonna Make It which in MacDonald’s hands really swings. Sinking is an epic ballad in which to lose yourself completely. The gravelly gospel tones on If I Could Only Hear My Mother Pray Again and the imploring emotion on Your Dreams have MacDonald stretching out vocally. Two self-penned instrumentals pay tribute to the greats; 3.35AM, to one of MacDonald’s prime influences Freddie King, and Soul City One to the in-house studio sound of Stax.The album is rich in variety, vibe and soulful energy. It’s MacDonald’s Blues and a whole lot more. As guest artist with the Take Me To The River All Stars in 2024 featuring the legendary Hi Rhythm, MacDonald performed on stage at Red Rooster and was filmed in session with Eric Gales and Jools Holland.
MacDonald and band will perform at the UK Blues Challenge on October 8th and he will be a special guest of Visit Mississippi in Liverpool in October when they unveil the first ever Blues Trail Marker outside The Cavern Club alongside Clarksdale veteran Super Chikan.
MacDonald speaks quietly but makes music with real gravitas. He is a rising star since winning Traditional Blues Artist Of The Year and Acoustic Act of the Year at the 2024 UK Blues Awards.
“Mississippi MacDonald represents the next generation of great guitarists who hail from the UK….wholly authentic, he’s earned the right to claim the name”

REPRESS! One mere year after their previous pitch-black sounding album Krypt, LA outfit Male Tears is back with a new full-length and – oh boy – everything is changed. The used-to-be duo is now a four piece with James Edward as the sole founding member remaining and apparently this new line-up helped the original vocalist to shapeshift again.
Remember their very first debut album from 2021 and those dark synthpop sounds? With their upcoming fourth album (in only three years), this American electronic-pop act from Southern California doubles the stakes once again and where Krypt was all about being goth and gloomy and disturbingly paroxysmal, Paradisco is somehow quite the opposite. Eight new tracks of pure italo disco, hi-NRG and freestyle bliss that pick up where the band left off three years ago to pursue much darker realms.
Now that the quest for darkness is done, it is time to polish our nails and dress up for the night-out cause there's more in life than feeling sorry for yourself. Yes you will need to cut out the deadwood but there is no change in stillness. So join Male Tears and their new arsenal of bangers and floor fillers with assertive titles such as Out of my Life, Regret 4 Nothing and Leave it Alone.
Get yourself wrapped up in one warm cover of delicate nostalgia and reborn romanticism, driven by sounds that pay homage equally to Miko Mission and Ken Laszlo, Lisa Lisa and Exposé and, well yeah, even The Smiths because say what you wanna say but you simply cannot not love The Smiths. Embrace the vintage vibes that organically propagate from this new record's grooves and get in the mood for this new course in full-on 1980's Pop.

1. Talk to Me
2. Leave it Alone (feat. Corlyx)
3. Sex on Drugs
4. Out of my Life
