DEEP TIME (née Yellow Fever) are from Austin TX, a bewitching pop duo, comprised of Jennifer Moore on Organ, electric guitar and vocal microphone, and Adam Jones on drums �" who are as infectious and delightful as this time demands. Jennifer Moore, once the torchbearer for girl-group legends The Carrots is something altogether unusual in the modern age; a singer with those endangered qualities: personality, style, and an arresting delivery. Adam Jones is the jazzy ‘batterista,’ as musical and dynamic a drummer as you will see on the scene today. Once upon a time, creatures such as these roamed the earth in the dozens; now they are as rare as the barely glimpsed yeti. It’s not just their personality that recommends them. It’s the tunes, mate. Just listen to the new-wave polka-soul-serenading madness of “Gold Rush,” the toe-tapping Italo-mutation of “Sgt Sierra,” the easy-listening doom-incantation of “Gilligan” … every song on the record is a bon-a-fide catastrophe for the forces of predictability and boredom. Deep Time are that kind of rare phenomenon that is easy to miss in the modern rock carnival because they don’t wear kabuki make-up or pour PBR on their head. Their bandwagon isn’t a monster truck or a garish tour bus with a broken toilet, so you might not see it parked outside of the club. Still, jump on when it drives by. It’s a sweet ride. Deep Time's s/t debut album is out now on Hardly Art.

CHAPTER 24 are a london-germinated quartet, made up of Claire Smith on vocals, Mel Stark on the bass, Mark Castro the drummer & Joe Green on guitar. They're renowned for their explosive and eccentric live performances and have nailed the slashing guitar versus tribalised drums backbone perfectly. Comparisons to the tropical punk craze are bound to be made but there's enough crampsy stomp and noise to pluck Chapter 24 out of the jaws of genre. Over the last year Chapter 24 have toured Europe and the US extensively and released an EP on Chaps Records and a 7" on Odd Box.

YE LAMPREYS are a somewhat mysterious new project from members of Trogons and Please, featuring Gemma Fleet on some soaring vocals and haunting keyboard, Doig's elastic basslines, Rowland Thomas' six-string shimmer and an inventive backbone with Tom Blackburn on the drums. Their music hangs from a trapeze, a sort of creeped-beat carousel of shaken garage trippiness, dipped in the San Francisco Sound. Crystalline in structure, Ye Lampreys are a unique arrangement of atoms neither liquid or solid, melodically inclined. No recordings exist right now, but here's a video they wanted to share with you.
