HILLY EYE ANNOUNCE REASONS TO LIVE OUT 1/22
STREAM "AMNESIA"
NYC DATES ANNOUNCED
On January 22nd, New Jersey label, Don Giovanni will release the debut album from Hilly Eye, Reasons To Live.

Hilly Eye is a collaboration between guitarist/vocalist Amy Klein and drummer/vocalist Catherine Tung. The duo formed in 2009 as a way to experiment with noise and melody. Their favorite band at the time was the Osaka noise band Afrirampo and they wanted to start something like that — a two girl band that was super primal and agressive, but also psychedelic and dreamy. Something really stripped down and raw that could also be beautiful. Alternating between quiet and loud, delicate melodies and big swathes of noise, contrasting elements.

You can stream their 1st single, "Amnesia" here.
"The album is about the struggle to gain your independence, to move beyond the limits that other people place on you, and to free yourself from the limits you place on yourself. For us, psychedelia is this kind of place where there are no limits. we like the idea of music being something ineffable." — Hilly Eye

"Leader Of The Pack" ”Da Do Run Run” Without trying, you've heard at least a dozen of her songs, her name synonymous with "girl groups," and a pre-lethal Phil Spector . Farewell to a hit machine.

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings.
