Track Of The Day: Carolyn’s Fingers – ‘Twice Born’

Having wowed us with previous singles ‘Her Howl’ and ‘Vapour’, and totally charmed us with their hypnotic live set at The Finsbury last year, queer-romantica-electro band Carolyn’s Fingers are back with a wonderfully trippy new video.

Flowing with an eerie, captivating power, ‘Twice Born’ is filled with all the essential symbols that make up Carolyn’s Fingers – flowers, saliva, raves, lights and chokers… Propelled by pounding beats, it interweaves majestic glitchy hooks with soaring ethereal vocals to create a truly spellbinding soundscape. Oozing its twinkling, haunting splendour, it’s sure to cast its spell over you in an instant with its euphoric, yet somewhat disconcerting, power.

Watch the rather magnificent, self-directed self-produced video for ‘Twice Born’ here:

Track Of The Day: Black Needle Noise – ‘System Bi’ (Feat. Fakeba)

Black Needle Noise is the latest project from producer and musician John Fryer, who has previous production credits with the likes of Depeche Mode, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Nine Inch Nails, Love and Rockets and HIM.

His most recent release ‘SyStem Bi’ is a collaboration with Senegalese vocalist FAKEBA, and it brims with atmospheric, sharply-produced electronics and powerful vocals which make the hairs on the back of listener’s necks rise up.

Dakar-based FAKEBA sings in her native Wolof language, creating a fusion between genres and continents “merging tradition with futurism”. This single is accompanied by a video by Gina Czarnecki, derived from her film Spintex, which encapsulates the multiple, interconnected daily rhythms of physicality and mortality.

Listen to the incredible ‘System Bi’ below and follow Black Needle Noise & FAKEBA on Facebook for more updates.

‘System Bi’ is available to download from Bandcamp now.

Track Of The Day: RedRooms – ‘Our Hearts Beat As One’

RedRooms are a four piece band from Manchester influenced by the likes of Siouxie and The Banshees, Echo and The Bunnymen, Killing Joke and Cocteau Twins. The group are currently busy recording their new album, but they’ve found the time to share their latest blues-infused single ‘Our Hearts Beat As One’.

“The track is about feeling alone in a world where you feel like you’re the only one who cares about anything,” explains RedRooms vocalist Natalie. “It’s about not wanting to bring children into that kind of world, it’s about going through the motions of living in that world whilst you slowly stop caring yourself.”

RedRooms have plans to tour the UK early next year, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates on their Facebook page.

Listen to ‘Our Hearts Beat As One’ below.
