Rating: happy This record left our Brian feeling happy.

Got a pink vinyl 7" in now by White Williams that sounds a little like the juddering mororik future pop I want to be hearing. It's called 'New Violence' and reminds me a little of Colder, the out-of-step French chappie on Output from a few years back, sprayed with a healthy dose of Sparks, then imagine Metronomy remixing this otherworldly pop gem & plonking some well wonky Fleetwood Mac style guitars all over the monotone bass pulse & kraut-tastic drum rattle. The vocals are inquisitive & minimal & the whole thing is utterly cool & chugs along in such a blase breezy way it brings a smile to yr chops! I can even acknowledge their super groovy rendition of 'I Want Candy' by early 80's pead-watch stars Bow Wow Wow. Shame Malcolm McLaren didn't suffer the same fate as Jonathan King for his seedy escapades in those dark manipulative days! then again we'd have had no Double Dutch.....anyway, this is an interesting distorto DIY curiosity with some minimal new wave shades, a Suicide-esque beats & more cosmic wibbles & meandering guitar madness to actually take it up somewhere near the giddy heights of the original 80's barn stormer. An absolutely smashing disc on Double 6, ltd to 500 so be uber quick!

What the label says:

‘New Violence’ is the debut single from electronic underground cult hero White Williams, a catchy, infectious number which blends a dose of guitar soaked electronic pop with a beat heavy 70s sound.

Recorded on a laptop and a small selection of studio equipment in various cities across the US, ‘New Violence’ is a truly modern track, with a nostalgic twist.    B side track ‘I Want Candy’ is a cover of the 1965 hit single from the Strangeloves.

Limited to 500 bubblegum pink vinyl.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
