10 000 Russos – there may only be 3 of my Portuguese celtic brethren, but the sonic whirlwind they sow, sounds like dez mil Makhnovshchina in full, glorious epic flight.

Back in that hallowed, revolutionary month of May last year, I’d had the unmitigated pleasure of hearing 10 000 Russos, but I had yet to witness the assault on the senses that is their live show.

Tales of Murder and Dust return with their second long player, The Flow In Between.

The Aarhus five piece currently comprise Christian Sinding Søndergaard, Kristoffer Vilsgaard, Simon Toftdahl Olesen, Jacob Korsgaard Jensen and Stine Kloster.

“Formed in 2007, Tales of Murder and Dust plays a dark, experimental mixture of psychedelic rock and Shoe-gaze wrapped in a cinematic sound merging noisy guitars, violin, organ and sitar.”

Hoopsnake is the third full length album by the London based One Unique Signal.

One Unique Signal are ostensibly built around the foundation of Dan Davis – Drums / Instruments, Byron Jackson – Instruments / Vox and Nick Keech – Instruments / Vox. The recording of Hoopsnake saw them tap into a rich collaborative reservoir of over twenty other artists.

White Hills and RMFTM are the latest additions to the Fuzz Club Split Single series – boasting leviathans from all ends of the underground spectrum, a roll of honour which to date includes, Christian Bland & The Revelators / Singapore Sling, The Underground Youth / The Third Sound, The Entrance Band / Wall Of Death, Alan Vega / The Vacant Lots, The Black Angels / Sonic Jesus, A Place to Bury Strangers / The Telescopes and The Myrrors / Cult Of Dom Keller – pretty illustrious company indeed.

Neither band should need much in the way of introduction, for the self-confessed aficionados of this limited edition vinyl feast.

It is a joy, to finally see the physical release of The Underground Youth‘s Mademoiselle.

As the Fuzz Club Records Blog attests, “The story of Mademoiselle is a testament to the power of great music being able to reach an audience, regardless of the fact the artist might be unsigned, underground and almost unheard of. Originally released in 2010 and only available online, Mademoiselle has piled up millions of views on YouTube, and has seen The Underground Youth acquire a cult following at a ferocious pace.”

All things come to those who wait…
