Track Of The Day: Ouri – ‘Escape’

Offering listeners an opportunity to immerse themselves in her atmospheric, carefully curated beats: Multi-instrumentalist, DJ & electronic producer Ouri has shared her latest single ‘Escape’.

Taken from her upcoming EP We Share Our Blood – set for release on September 28th via Ghostly International – ‘Escape’ is a cleanly cut, impressive example of Ouri’s production skills. Speaking about her new EP, she says: “As I continue to create music, I want the whole experience to be even more raw. No one else is included for this one; from writing to mastering, the process is direct from me to the listener”.

It’s this assertiveness that’s allowed Ouri to hone her vision. In 2017, she released her debut album Superficial, on which she mixed her truth with chaos. Her obsession with strong sensations, femininity and this same truth makes up the heart of this record. In late 2017, she joined forces with Montreal-based singer-songwriter Mind Bath, and dropped a surprise self-titled EP. The Ouri / Mind Bath EP features both tenderness and aggressiveness, and balances the femininity and masculinity of the two artists.

We’re keen to hear more from her upcoming album, and ‘Escape’ is a great starting point. Watch the video below and follow Ouri on Facebook for more updates.

LISTEN: She Drew The Gun – ‘Resister’

A measured but rallying cry to persevere in the face of adversity: ‘Resister’ is the new single from She Drew The Gun. The track is taken from their upcoming album Revolution Of Mind, due to be released on October 5th via Skeleton Key Records.

‘Resister’ hosts buzzing guitar riffs, persistent percussion and lyrics fused with empowering messages. “Empowerment; resisting; arming yourself with knowledge; questioning the status quo, questioning your own state of mind and how its affected by the systems we live in” are themes that permeate the new record, as guitarist & songwriter Louisa Roach explains.

Produced by James Skelly (The Coral) at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios, Revolution Of Mind is set to be another powerful collection of songs from this affluent and informed songwriter. She Drew The Gun will return to the live scene following the release of their album, supporting The Coral on all dates of their UK tour. Listen to ‘Resister’ below and follow She Drew The Gun on Facebook for more updates.

Get In Her Ears Live @ The Finsbury w/ Thunder On The Left, 10.08.18

Following a host of super amazing bands playing for us recently – including LIINES, Witch Fever, The Magnettes, H.Grimace, The Menstrual Cramps and The Empty Page  – we were back at The Finsbury on Friday for another jam-packed night of the best new music.

Immediately blowing us away, recent favourites Scrounge deliver their intense and utterly captivating sounds to kick off the night. As front woman Lucy’s immense vocals rage alongside whirring, scuzzy hooks and Luke’s thrashing beats, they continue to prove themselves to be one of the most exciting bands around.

 

Next up, Leeds’ Nervous Twitch uplift and inspire with their vibrant and energy-fuelled punk-pop offerings. With a colourful wit and sunny sparkle, it’s impossible not to be left feeling a joyous sense of empowerment at their instantly catchy creations.

Penultimate band of the night, Brighton’s ARXX, blast into our ears and dazzle our ears with all the seething, glitter-filled energy you could ever ask for. With the immense of power Hannah’s gritty vocals and raging riffs alongside Clara’s high-octane thrashing beats, their mighty grunge-fuelled offerings take our breath away once again.

Finally, headliners Thunder On The Left deliver a memorable, angst-driven set. Bounding across the stage with a riotous energy, front woman Carla blasts out a torrent of blazing vocals as frenzied hooks race alongside pummelling beats. A perfect outpouring of fiery emotion and refreshing honesty, the trio leave us ready – fists clenched – to take on anything with their infectious, ferocious power.

HUGE thanks to the four incredible bands who played for us on Friday, it was a dream of a night. And we’re already getting excited about next month’s gig on 14th September with Wendy Rae Fowler headlining!
