Currently preparing for the release of their fourth album set for release in 2025, RATS ON RAFTS’ new single ‘Hibernation’ is a rain-soaked lament to nature’s battered mortality, a monochrome snapshot of the landscape played out in beautiful cold wave delay.
Finding joy in self-isolation, “I noticed that I could feel really comfortable with songs that can feel really heavy and isolated,” says frontman David Fagan “ If you listen to a Joy Division record for example, for a lot of people they’re really downcast. But for some people it’s like stepping into a really warm bath, because you can really identify with that music. I think that’s also what’s going on with ‘Hibernation’. I could identify with the coldness of the atmosphere, and that languid feeling of that song.”
Following 2021’s exceptional ‘Excerpts From Chapter 3’ with its plagues, dreams, modal guitars, and mesmerising mantras, new single ‘Hibernation’ descends further into a brooding wasteland.
“I think this song really is a good example of what our new record sounds like. Slowing everything down as much as possible gives it a lot of space. The sound of the Soundcraft 1S mixing desk we used to record the album, close to the version Lee Perry used to mix his famous black ark records, works really well for the dub side of the song but also the doom side. This song and the record in general are not romanticizing this “darkness” as much as accepting it’s part of our persona/character.”

NAP EYES’ metamorphic fifth long-player collects a cache of nine fascinating songs recorded over the four years since Snapshot of a Beginner. The Neon Gate reveals classic touchstones (the uneasy interplay of physics and philosophy, perambulatory meditations, self-interrogating soliloquies, apertures of surreality, video games), but also evidence of divergent impulses toward nonlinear abstraction and longform improvisational composition (resulting in their most discursive, deconstructed, and deliquescent songs to date) and narrative and lyric formality (including adaptations of thorny poems by Alexander Pushkin and W. B. Yeats), imparting the sense that Nap Eyes have transmuted, as has their understanding of what a song is, what it can do, where it might go.

NAIVE SET is an Amsterdam-based band that, for more than 10-years, has taken a loose approach to detailed guitar pop, making songs both easy on the ears and pleasing on repeat. In their three previous full-lengths and one EP, the band weaved together hazy and wavy with bright and shiny, channeling guitar-pop classics without being defined by them.
Dubbed “smart, highly catchy indiepop,” by VPRO 3voor12 and “classic-indie artisans” by MOJO, Naive Set is back in 2024, releasing stellar new material (compared to “silver crystal” by the Volkskrant) with the Amsterdam-based label AT EASE. Their full length, In Air Quotes, is out October 18th.
Recorded at Schenk Studio, Amsterdam, then mixed in Melbourne by Mikey Young, the Australian producer of bands like Dick Diver, Total Control, and Twerps.
RIYL: Lewsberg, Nap Eyes, Cate le Bon, Elvis Costello, The Feelies, Chad VanGaalen, A. Savage, Ultimate Painting

WONK UNIT plays different sets on this 2 days!
WONK UNIT ist eine der vielseitigsten und abwechslungsreichsten Bands, die London im Moment zu bieten hat. 2005 wurden sie von Alex nach Auflösung der Punkband The Flying Medallions ins Leben gerufen.
Punk in England war so tot und langweilig zu der Zeit. Doch mit dem zufälligen Aufeinandertreffen von Alex und zwei sehr talentierten Musikern, Drummer Mez Clough und Gitarrist Gavin Kinch, deren Art zu spielen Alex Songs plötzlich überfrisch erklingen ließen, gab es eine neue Punkrockhoffnung.
Eine in Europa einzigartige Band mit eigenem Sound, eigenem Humor, eigenem Festival und tief verwurzeltem DIY Background. Alex Brindle Johnson ist dabei als Lead Singer, Poet, Skater, Stage Performer und kreativer Motor das Herz der Band, von der nicht wenige behaupten, dass es das derzeit Spannendste sei, was es auf Europas Punkrockbühnen zu sehen gibt.

SCHNAPS sind ein kompromisslos, antifaschistisches Punkrock Duo, das seine Wurzeln in Hamburg und dem Harz hat. SCHNAPS sind 95 Jahre alt und musizieren seit 2000 in verschiedenen Bandformationen zusammen. Im Jahre 2019 beschlossen Ronald und Christoph ihre Musik auf das Wesentliche zu reduzieren. Hierzu kombinieren sie den Punk der Achtziger mit dem Hardcore der Neunziger und verpacken ihre politische Botschaft in Alltagsgeschichten, die sie in deutscher Sprache erzählen. Ein guter Punkrock Song sollte in zwei Minuten zum Punkt kommen und an diese Maxime hält sich Deutschlands Punkrock Duo #1 auf seinen drei bisher veröffentlichten Alben konsequent.

Ceschi just released his last solo album, Bring Us the Head of Francisco False (Part 2) and is currently touring the U.S. before he will leave for a final European tour in June 2025 with his longtime companion and legendary Canadian producer Factor Chandelier - one last chapter in his uncompromising musical journey.
