Listen: Strange Collective – Heavy

• 11th Apr 2016

Liverpool quartet, Strange Collective, have announced they will release their debut EP ‘Super Touchy’ via Salvation Records on 1st July 2016.

New single ‘Heavy’ is a good indication of what a typical musical journey with the band feels like; a dangerous and intoxicating slab of sonic chaos, made all the more thrilling for its spontaneity – check it out below.

Specialising in psyched-up garage jams that feel like they’ve been frazzled in the San Fran sun, this shady Liverpool quartet are a fearsome package that has so far only existed in the form of their incendiary live shows.

The new recordings represent a tamed version of the band’s explosive live energy, a controlled menace that struts and stalks through the shadows like a Black Lips record played simultaneously at half speed and in overdrive. Flashes of Thee Oh Sees’ strained intensity are evident in the squalls of yelps and distortion, which is underpinned by a relentless rhythm section.

Further details of the EP and UK tour dates TBA.
