Well thanks to Angular for finally getting us a few copies of THESE NEW PURITANS debut EP. (I've been pestering our Phil for bloody weeks now) We got the last 15 so if you've run into the wall trying to get one of these or Rough Trade have eaten them all in a fit of deviancy, then you may have a chance of catching one from us. Three track 7" 'Now Pluvial' is the sound of a bunch of beautiful youngsters listening to all my favourite bands & more, mostly The Fall but Joy Division, Liars & PIL as well. And somehow coming up with a grinding, hypnotic & itchy hybrid, spilling with discordant outsider menace. There's that possessed mania, that use of compelling repetition & overlaid with ranting distorted vocals & scuzzy, angry guitar shards. This is a dark & dirty punk funk from somewhere a bit dirty & wrong. If Phil's ears prick up at a B-side then you know yer onto a winner.Be the first to review this record. Best reviewer each month gets £10 off their next order!
