2016 finds the Dead Rabbits on the cusp of releasing a new, eagerly anticipated LP.

It is perhaps only fitting then that Fuzz Club Records, close that circle with this repress of their 2013 debut, The Ticket That Exploded.

I was beyond stoked, to obtain a copy of the limited edition first press on vinyl. The collaborative artwork by Olya Dyer & Casper Dee, recreating a sleeve and picture disc, in the guise of a recording tape reel, is a stroke of genius.

The vinyl experience, has seldom been more tangibly tactile and visually stimulating, from recording to aural delivery, encapsulated in one gloriously realised package.

Jón Sæmundur Auðarson (aka Nonni Dead), and his “monks of the dead temple”, in their guise as Dead Skeletons, are bona-fide shamanic resurrectionists.

This loose knit collective, who coalesce as a “group”, as and when time and space allows, bring you this live esquisse – an abstract document, imprinted at SO36 Club on the 04th December 2013.

‘Live In Berlin’ goes a little way to satisfying my itch to witness such a gathering for myself. Until that burning desire is sated, this is a fitting substitute, capturing the essence of what sounds like a magickal evening.

As a prelude to inclusion in the forthcoming issue of Optical Sounds Fanzine, as well as a precursor to my getting to witness these guys at least twice in the coming months, I caught up with Tony and Glenn from Radar Men From The Moon for a flavour of what makes them tick…

It is strangely fitting that this sombre Berlin ballad, should find itself among us in the ‘Low’ of Bowie’s final ascent. Iconic city and performer, “forever and ever” ingrained on our collective psyche.

The prophetically titled, ‘You Are Not Here’, a duet by Hakon Aðalsteinsson and Tess Parks, comes from The Third Sound’s third album, ‘Gospels of Degeneration’, which will be released April 2016 on Fuzz Club, and supported by a tour of the UK and Europe in June.

This eagerly awaited 7″ finally tumbled through the letterbox the other day.
