Track Of The Day: She Drew The Gun – ‘Trouble Every Day’

Fresh from wowing crowds at a number of festival appearances this summer, including Glastonbury, Latitude, Bluedot, and blowing our minds earlier this year at the inaugural Cro Cro Land, Wirral band She Drew Gun have now shared a brand new track.

A reinterpretation of Frank Zappa’s original, ‘Trouble Every Day’ is propelled by a raw emotion and impassioned grit, as Louisa Roach’s smooth, distinctive vocals blast out the all-too-poignant, poetic lyricism. With a seething energy and politically-driven tension that builds with each note, it’s a sincere, empowering anthem for our troubled times. Of her current, pertinent, take on the original, Louisa explains:

“I heard ‘Trouble Every Day’ and thought it would make a great cover, Frank Zappa wrote it based on the TV coverage of the Watts riots in LA back in the ’60s, so I rewrote some of the lyrics to reflect what I’ve seen reported on the TV in more recent times, from English riots to the Extinction Rebellion protests. It takes a look at the issues that are facing us at the moment – from the rise of the far right, to the threat of climate change and the role the global media corporations play in supporting neoliberal ideology.”

 

The new single accompanies the Trouble Every Day October tour which is the Wirral band’s biggest UK tour yet, and includes support slots from some of our favourite bands (Peaness, Dream Nails, Bugeye and The Menstrual Cramps)! Full dates and details here.

Track Of The Day: Sandunes – ‘Eleven Eleven’ feat. Landslands

A unique musicality informed by jazz, spirituality, experimental folk and electronic music; Sandunes has shared her new single ‘Eleven Eleven’ featuring Landslands. The track is taken from her new EP of the same name, which is set for release on 6th September via !K7.

Sandunes (aka Sanaya Aredeshir) recorded her 11:11 EP whilst travelling between between Mumbai, London and Berlin. She blends these three different cultures seamlessly in to one seductive, electronic listening experience. Her respect for the works of Philip Glass, Andrew Ashong, Anoushka Shankarthe, and the experimental music of Sudan Archives have merged in to a homage to what she calls the “diverse spiritualists” that surround her.

As well as creating her own music, Sandunes actively encourages other musicians in Mumbai where she’s based. She is a member of DASTA – a community collective of six beatmakers at the forefront of India’s electronic music scene, and runs courses for young producers and artists committed to exposing, promoting and exporting the music. In 2017, Sandunes also worked with the Barbican as part of their “Different Trains 1947 project”, a collaborative response by artists including Actress and Darkstar, responding to the 70th anniversary of the declaration of India’s independence.

Sandunes will be returning to the UK to headline The Pickle Factory in East London on the 12th September, to coincide with the release of her new EP. Listen to her mesmerising new single below, and follow Sandunes on Facebook for more updates.
