Art Is Hard Records // Family Portrait

Earlier this year, Art Is Hard Records pulled together some of its favourite artists and like-minded thinkers, and got them to share a couple of original tracks. The result is the quite brilliant 'Family Portrait' EP.

Diverse despite evident similarities in approach and shared influences, the result is a cohesive record of UK lo-fi, from the reverb heavy, MBV stylings of Gum's Cherryade opener to the two minute alt-punk thrash of Playlounge's Revolution Summer.

Listen below, or by in any format you could dream of from the label's Bandcamp.

Death Grips // NO LOVE DEEP WEB

What seems like, and in fact is, mere months after the release of 'The Money Store', the ever-generous Death Grips have offered up yet another long player of menacing, genre melding hardcore rap in 'NO LOVE DEEP WEB'. Do tracks like Pop and Hunger Games point towards a radio friendly, mainstream courting change of direction? Not. A Chance.



Cold Pumas // Fog Cutter


Post punk can get awful repetitive at times, but when you are as adept at delivering looped drums and riffs with The Fall-like intensity then repetition becomes instantly alluring.

Fog Cutter, taken from Cold Puma's long awaited debut LP 'Persistent Malaise' fits this mould, almost four minutes of controlled yet unraveling aggression to blow out your mind and make you want to play it over and over and over and over.
