But otherwise Sound on Sound sounds as current as something by the Wanda Group or Lee Noble.

André de Saint-Obin – Sound On Sound
Popronde Haarlem 11/9/2014
I tell you now; if Yuko Yuko ever got managed or advised by someone from Entertainment Land here in the Netherlands, they’d be fucked. Fucked. I’m tempted to go and dig up Tony Wilson and say, “come on love, one more time.”

Incendiary chew the cud with Ajay Saggar of King Champion Sounds
…you know what; every time I walk into the stadium and I walk up the steps and I hear the crowd, and see the first blades of grass, my heart’s just like… arrrgh! And the same is like walking into a gig. I’m so fucking psyched! Because you get energy from it, you can’t pay for that it’s your lifeblood.

King Champion Sounds – Songs For the Golden Hour
These new King Champion Sounds tracks DO feel like night time drives round grimy urban centres, and in that are far more wide ranging and multifacetted in scope and ambition than the ones on their breezy debut LP.

Nouveau Velo – Nouveau Velo
Their ultimate gift to us is their ability to make music that pulls away at the odd loose thread in the settled pattern of Dutch life. You won’t really notice it at first listen but they do.

Incubate 2014 – Day 2 Friday 19/09/14
It’s interesting watching people watch a Cosmic Dead gig, too. For sure there are those who participate in the band’s hyperactive onstage frenzies. But there are many who seem to slip away in a trance, and sit or sway whilst staring into space.

Incubate 2014 – Day 4 Sunday 21/09/14
This was a boatload of Dutch Long Hairs and Sonic Vandals brought together by the lads from Dead Neanderthals. Lined up in two banks of four they proceeded to question time itself by nailing their demands on the gates of the Underworld.

Incubate 2014 – Day 1 Thursday 18/09/14
Given all of this multidisciplinary jostling you can see that Holly Herndon’s gigs can be some sort of well behaved battleground of the senses; something that, on this night, was made all the more compelling/confusing with her crazy visuals.

Incubate 2014 – Day 3 Saturday 20/09/14
A text from High Priest John Doran alerted us to the Ekkopelkz/Emmplekz gig in NWE Vorst. Apparently there was this mad poet mouthing off about Yul Brynner and Ronnie Corbett. “He’s just called George Peppard a cunt.” That sealed it.

Michał Jacaszek & Kwartludium – Catalogue des Arbres
Despite it being deserving of reams of text as to its making, you can just enjoy the utter sensuousness of Catalogue des Arbres.
