New This Week: Man/Woman/Chainsaw and Mystery Jets events, Steve Lacy, Overmono, Flo, Slow Fiction
In this week’s Edit Man/Woman/Chainsaw’s highly anticipated debut lands after years of hard touring, Overmono get experimental on the album that involves baking a crash cymbal in the oven and Slow Fiction up the ante with quizzical basslines and refracting guitars.
Steve Lacy questions ‘is it cool?’ on new material following his previous Grammy win, while Mystery Jets take things in a new direction drawing inspiration from Yoko Ono. Things get darker with John Carpenter’s gothic, dark and frenetic metal album and FLO’s Therapy at the Club adds a layer of euphoric R&B and pop to the mix.
Plus a host of exclusive and signed hardbacks celebrating Andrew Weatherall, Tears for Fears, the Scottish indie scene and Nu Metal’s cultural legacy.
