Folly Group

Down There!

    Drawing from post-punk, dub, hip-hop, electronic dance music and traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms, Folly Group have established themselves amongst UK experimental rock's new leading lights Marrying open- hearted lyricism with furiously inventive self- production, this bracing, complex record lends a genuinely original voice to a familiar theme: alienation in modern Britain.

    STAFF COMMENTS

    Barry says: A bafflingly complex, instrumentally dense LP that ends up both impressively coherent and surprisingly danceable. There's elements of Battles' off-kilter asymmetry but it's grounded by a funky, dance influenced rhythm backline. A wildly unique, and brilliantly balanced album.

    Folly Group

    Human And Kind

      Second EP from emerging East London-based band, Folly Group. Once again they deliver their distinctive, electronic infused post-punk sound full of clattering percussion and angular guitars, which along with their furiously brilliant live shows landed coveted slots at Pitchfork Music Festival, in NME’s “100 Artists On The Rise” and a co-sign from IDLES’ singer Joe Talbot (speaking during a BBC 6 Music takeover - “Pound for pound, them and Wet Leg, every track is so good. They haven’t released anything that isn’t amazing... my favourite song of the year, Sand Fight”).

      Cast from the tumultuous melting-pot of the London musical circuit, three of the Folly Group quartet moved in together (the house would eventually become their studio too). Sean Harper (Drums/Vocals), Louis Milburn (Guitar/Vocals) and Tom Doherty (Bass) inevitably found themselves experimenting. The addition of close friend Kai Akinde- Hummel (Drums/Percussion/Sampler), proved to be the missing piece of the puzzle.

      Laura says: Another killer from one of my favourite bands at the moment. Went to see them at Manchester Psych Fest on the strength of their debut EP and was blown away by their tight, percussive post-punk energy.
