A few weeks back dissonant robo-punk outfit MOTH dropped ‘Ritual’, the first taste of forthcoming EP Machine Nation. Today, we’re chuffed to be sharing the visuals for the track, a suitably aberrant accompaniment to MOTH’s paranoid brand of post-punk.

Australian-born and France-based nomadic troubadour Nathan Roche has resurfaced alongside his band Le Villejuif Underground with a new 7″ in the can, out now through Born Bad Records. The A-side track ‘Ghost of the Water’ is a tipsy take on liquor-soaked excess and drying out – the promise of sobriety and the clarity we hope it will bring.

Sydney crew Bushing are putting final pieces in place for their forthcoming debut LP Thanatophobia, ratcheting up activity with a brand-new clip for recently released single ‘X I A N X P’ (pronounced ‘Christian Experience’).
