Astonishing how it kicks in at around 58 secs

The Itch's debut single. Turns out they used to be two-thirds of Regressive Left.

Ben (of Lazarus Kane) said to me that he'd be there with them / has played for them.

This seems like it'd be intense in an enclosed stage.

A second vote for The Itch from me, plus I'm surprised no one has mentioned MRCY. For fans of Gabriels / Sault / Jungle

 

Just a handful of tracks out there atm but all really good

Coincidentally I was listening to Anastasia Coope the other day.  This song in particular feels like a weird hybrid if Meredith Monk and The Moldy Peaches.

 

 

Edit: failing at YouTube links

Check out Woke Up and No Feet

I'm looking forward to seeing Bonny Doon, Nusantara Beat, Phosphorescent and Altin Gun.

I saw Slift at ArcTanGent last night. Do yourselves a favour.

Worth mentioning that House Of All* are all former members of The Fall banging out some damned good angular noise. 

 

*This post is almost a reminder to me because I keep forgetting they are playing.

Not sure if they've been mentioned but Norwich based,  Americana band, Brown Horse were really wonderful at Green Man. I'll be grabbing a beer and watching them again on the Woods Stage.

Same here - I do slightly worry that the relative intimacy of the Walled Garden suited them (I last saw them at Whelan's upstairs in Dublin which is tiny) and that they may be a tad lost on the Woods, but will be there for sure.

As Riverlodge and SighMo have said, Brown Horse were great at Green Man, really lovely dynamic, 4 of them writing songs, delighted to be there, great sound. Hot Wax, MRCY and the Tubs all fantastic as well and Big Special blew the roof off the Rising Stage. Don't miss them. Enjoy folks.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention Malice K. Mental performance, all over the gaff but highly entertaining.

I remember thinking the same about Divorce last year and they were great. I think Brown Horse will do just fine.
