Low Hummer- 'Never Enough'  Artwork by Joseph Cox   Hull's Low Hummer break away from the regular guitar-based sound found on their previous string of singles, opting for a warmer and more romanticised approach on new single 'Never Enough' . Bursting at the seams with influence from the likes of The Cure and The Psychedelic Furs, 'Never Enough' explores the softer side of their musical capabilities, subtly blurring the lines between post-punk and dream-pop. Incorporating a prevalent synth line that carries the song smoothly through to it's end, sat atop a tight and infectious drumming pattern, Low Hummer are able to create a dreamscape of sorts within the first few seconds of their latest effort. While it is obvious that Low Hummer wear their Joy Division/New Order, Cure and all round eighties new-wave influences on their sleeves, it perfectly demonstrates the new territory that Low Hummer find themselves treading; a refreshing dip into the addictive, me

The first glimpse of new Midlands solo project LAZYEYE takes place in the form of brand new tune " Bout Time', a progressive composition that consistently manages to tease at it's eventual effects-soaked crescendo, all the while continuing to maintain it's signature sedate pace throughout. With religiously thematic lyrics that juxtapose the song's dark running undertones and planetary-sounding guitar sitting atop a mind-altering chord structure, “ Bout Time' sets the bar high for any future releases that  LAZYEYE may have to offer. Opening with nothing but a single clean guitar track that allows one to hear the looping chord sequence making up the majority of the song, the intro soon drops out and gives way to LAZYEYE' s simplistic yet memorable vocal melody. While the glassy sounding rhythm guitar that instantly brings early  Verve and Jeff Buckley influences to mind continues, a secondary rotary tremolo-guitar line comes into play that gives the song it

Leeds alt-rock trio Dead Naked Hippies ' combination of brittle hostility and raw energy has earned them the rightful name as one of the most dynamic and exhilarating acts, both live and on-tape, to come out of the underground UK music scene in recent years. Amongst their numerous singles and 2017 self-titled EP, their trademark punk-derived, unrelenting drums lay the foundations for abrasive guitar that sings as hysterical yet melodic as vocalist Lucy Jowett. Despite the simplicity of their three-person lineup, Dead Naked Hippies are able to transcend the rusticism of choppy garage and punk-rock when they see it fit, filling every inch of space with crashing cymbols, echo and shrieking distortion, all the while allowing for moments of calm amongst the chaos. Latest release ' Curiosity (Dawn)' sees DNH wearing their electronic influences on their sleeve, dropping the usual acoustic kit for programmed drums and replacing guitar with glitching synth lines and a captivating s

  Many of the songs that are known and loved are comprised during a rehearsal or recording session, with little thought going into direction or shape of the track or album that it eventually finds itself on. The spontaneity of the likes of The Stooges ' Funhouse' and Hendrix's ' Electric Ladyland'  allow for the extended jams and improvised guitar solos that a tightly structured body of work doesn't. Above all it allows for the listener to hear the band in their most natural state, feeding off of each others' playing and expression without the confinement of sticking to the foundations of a traditional verse-chorus-verse-chorus song pattern.  With modernity comes newer recording techniques and therefore the demise of the 'live' album; modern technology now allows for almost endless amounts of overdubs and desired effects to add texture to a song's sound, thicken up a chorus, patch together takes and erase imperfections. Not only can the sound of
