     Celestial debut from the post-space-rock laboratory

    “From a slow burning, intensifying, building crescendo of noise that is opening track ‘Dust Bowl’ through to the following 13 tracks, this is an album of imagination, brilliant invention and noise landscapes designed to intrigue and titillate.. will be whispered as a favourite influence for years to come" ***** subba-cultcha

    "Big brawny electronica laid over fuzzed-out trip hop beats.. ideal for drifting off in the early hours" Plan b

    "Dense astral guitars.. a killer groovy bass.. large cracks and thuds that spray up vapour into the air.. set aside some time, some attention, and get stuck in" thelineofbestfit

    £5.99

    Bromide’s home recordings scrapbook from the noughties, produced by Ed and Matt Spork

    “Ultra-catchy, jangly acoustic pop that reminds you of Lloyd Cole, Teenage Fanclub or American Music Club” soundsxp

    “Memorable slices of acoustic whimsy.. CK bottles nostalgia while the effortless sounding Xwhere could have been conjured up by the underrated Mojave 3” Q magazine

    “An off-kilter look at the traumas, troubles, and triumphs of love Berridge has an air of a man at ease with his emotions, able to take the hits and still come back fighting for more. ‘Looking For Aliens’ would have even the most depressed student up on the dancefloor stretching their drainpipes.. whilst his take on GBV’s ‘Game Of Pricks’ is worthy of the old dogs themselves.” americana-uk

    1. Looking For Aliens
    2. Dipped Chopper Drive

    £2.99

    ‘Specialising in off-the-wall rock’n’roll and delighting in the most shambolic of live shows, The Rocks’ second single throws a subtle groove into the mix (‘We Got it’) before going super-cool and obscure (The Bomb’). Given time this self-destructive art offensive could do great things.’ Rocksound

    ’A track that not only declares it’s confidence, but demonstrates it. A bouncing Motown bass and tickling drums define the groove, before James Taylor’s Princey falsetto enters, then letting his larynx rip into the chorus. Combined with the thrashier ‘The Bomb’, this is a real statement of intent from one of the few British garage hopefuls.’ X-Ray

    ‘They have the most pissed sounding vocalist since Shane MacGowan.. When he screams ‘JUST F**KING LEAVE IT’ during ‘Everybody In The Place’ it’s easy to imagine that he really is in the middle of a fight, and it’s quite likely that he started it.’ Kerrang
