Downdime - satellite distortions (Dufflecoat)

Harder than much of what Dufflecoat Records releases but in my opinion one of their best releases yet. Leeds' Downdime produce exhilarating indie noise pop such as on the driving "Satellite distortions" with its amazing chorus, losing you in a sea of fuzz noise. Other highlights include "Carousel" which has a cute twee beat along with the psychedelic noise. "Catapult your arms" has a rollicking beat and essential pop noise melody, exploding with energy.

This is all just the warm-up though, "Run across the Sun" is a masterpiece, a beautiful track that takes us on a layered sonic journey through noise, pop melodies, power and er... more noise. One of the best songs you'll hear this year, or maybe any year and thats no distortion (sorry).

Available soon on Dufflecoat Records.
