THE HORRORS OF CHILDBIRTH

GBL Affiliated Projects Alert


First out the gates is Purity Ring, the project of Corin from GBL, and Megan James, who was in GBL’s first incarnation and whose spirit still lives on in the band. These are synth-warped, minimal, hiphop-inflected pop songs — glowy and irresponsibly hooky.

Calvin from GBL makes lights out bedroom headphone and club heaters under the name Kuhrye-oo. I get echoes of Four Tet’s darker moments, some serious cinematic vibes, and a older Berlin burner-feel from it.  MUSIC FOR YR EVENING TRANSIT IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Graham and Calvin’s band Gyre Spire and Spindle is still active, with plans for a new 7-inch this year.  These are intense post-hardcore jams - like the bloody placenta from Circle Takes the Square, Hot Snakes, and Kidcrash’s one night stand. Jheri also noted the Marnie Stern connect. You can download their debut tape for free here.

If you can’t tell, I’m seriously amped on the music my bandmates make. SO DONT SLEEP
