PARLOUR

Features former members of Crain, The For Carnation, Papa M. If there is one constant with Parlour, it is that nothing is ever the same. For nigh two decades, the Louisville, KY experimental troupe - led by Tim Furnish of influential, defunct Louisville art-punk band, Crain - has relentlessly evolved in subtle but substantial ways. This consistent creative movement keeps the sound of Parlour forever curious, and impossible to predict. While that may make for some commercial challenges, it also makes for more compelling and mercurial music. On the band's self-titled fourth album, Parlour pushes ferocious, dynamic guitar rock to the brink with hypnotic repetition and shifting, stabbing rhythms. In fierce Parlour fashion, the driving crunch of guitars is punctuated with shimmering buzz of synths. The difference here, though, is Parlour has shed their trademark woodwinds in favor of a leaner, heavier aesthetic. With a reduced instrumental palette and increased focus on beats and riffs, the songs are more naked and intense - equal parts crashing krautrock, and crushing prog-rock.

Dolium

Hellhounds On The Prowl

    A cult following has grown around enigmatic boy/girl deathly dark duo Dolium. Starting in Sheffield where songwriter Reece Adamo and his domineering bassist Ms De Vine made their first tracks with a drum machine and through a series of intense and disturbing live performances found fans amongst Sheffield's musical A-list with members of Pulp and Human League both declaring love for the band. These maniacal shows very quickly started to attract a large dedicated following and hundreds of crazed fans would queue outside the Leadmill to see an intense 25 minute graveyard slot where Adamo convulsed and flagellated himself on stage, throwing himself through drum kits and into mosh pits which were lovingly doused in petrol, all gleefully watched by Ms De Vine as she towered above her subjects battering home viscous bass lines and sickeningly sweet harmonies. Dolium take their influences from the likes of The Birthday Party, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, Big Black and The Velvet Underground but the result is what the Independent Newspaper called 'mesmerising in its twists of moods and pace... full of hooks and tunes, it's a refreshing sound'.
