Post-Punk/New Wave Extravaganza from Canada and Australia

U-Bahn (Melbourne, AUS)

U-BAHN ist das Ergebnis eines zufälligen Treffens zwischen Bedroom-Producer Lachlan Kenny und Vintage-Synthesizer-Enthusiastin Zoe Monk. Das Duo verbindet die Liebe zu analoger Elektronik, experimenteller Musik und Lo-Fi-Bubblegum-Ästhetik. Seit 2018 ist U-Bahn als Quintett unterwegs. Ihre Musik setzt sich mit den alltäglichen Lastern, post-digitalen Denkweisen und dystopischer Sexualität auseinander und wird von bizarren Klängen zwischen Glam-Punk, 70s-Proto-Technoiden-Underground-Sounds und Devo-Verkrampftheit begleitet.

English:

U-Bahn originated in Jan 2018 from a chance meeting between bedroom recording magician Lachlan Kenny and vintage synthesiser enthusiast Zoe Monk. Bonding over a shared love of analog electronics, Teutonic experimentalism and lo-fi bubblegum aesthetics, the duo initiated Leland Buckle, Jordan Oakley and Mitch Campleman into their sect and U-Bahn debuted their futurist glam-punk aberrations to the public in May 2018. Since then they’ve shocked and baffled audiences alongside Tropical Fuck Storm, ORB, The Babe Rainbow, Terry and starred alongside Melbourne’s favourite acts at Gizz Fest. Their music is an exploration of vice, post-digital mindscapes and dystopian sexuality, while serving as an altar piece to the dazzling weirdness of the 70’s and 80’s bizarro underground.

Deliluh (Toronto, CA)

Deliluh ist eine aufstrebende experimentelle Art-Rock-Band, die sich in Toronto einen Ruf als Fackelträger für die DIY-Musikszene erworben hat. Ihr Sound verschmilzt Elemente von Punk, Drone und experimenteller Musik zu einer organischen, aber heftig resonierenden Klangidentität.

Der Nachfolger ihrer selbstproduzierten Debüt-LP ‘Day Catcher’ folgt auf die Fersen eines Jahres, das sie damit verbrachten, frische Ideen aufzuspüren und aufzunehmen. ‘Oath of Intent’ ist eines von zwei Alben, die letztes Jahr entstanden sind, und dokumentiert die Gruppe in ihrer bisher eindringlichsten und mörderischst-direkten Form. Die fünf Tracks der Platte erzählen Geschichten, die den Konflikt und das Unbehagen innerhalb unserer menschlichen Beschaffenheit aufgreifen, bzw. in Charaktere schlüpfen und mit lyrischer Hartnäckigkeit und rasiermesserscharfem Takt durch beunruhigte Linsen auf Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft schauen. Schnelle Instrumentalwechsel werden gegenüber Soundschichten oder -verschmelzungen bevorzugt und resultieren in einer durchgehend tighten Erlebniswelten, wie eine Sammlung ausgekochter Kurzgeschichten.

English:

Deliluh is an emerging experimental art-rock group that has solidified a reputation in Toronto as a torchbearer for the DIY music community. Their sound fuses elements of punk, drone & experimental music into a organic, yet fiercely resonating sonic identity.

The follow up to their self-produced debut LP ‘Day Catcher’ (reissued by Hand Drawn Dracula, 2018) comes hot off the heels of a year spent tracking fresh ideas to tape in local veterans hall Owls Club. ‘Oath of Intent’ is a summer sibling, one of two albums birthed in the community space last year, and documents the group in its most visceral and cut-throat realization to date. The record's five tracks tell tales that pick apart the conflict and unease within our human makeup, respectively inhabiting its characters and peering through anxious lenses at the past, present and future, with lyrical tenacity and razor sharp tact. Swift instrumental exchanges are opted in preference to layers or blending, delivering an experience front-to-back like a tight collection of hard-boiled short stories.

Deliluh’s live propensity to ignore the traditional circuit of bars and clubs in favour of unconventional venues has built a reputation at home, and one they intend to maintain. Over the past few years, they’ve given audiences a variety of performances in bakeries, libraries, apartments, and a decommissioned subway platform. They embark on a tour of the UK and Europe this May, with festival appearances across Canada to follow through out the summer. The core members are also responsible for some of the city’s latest string of house shows, taking place in the living room of their Bloordale apartment; a space known by many as Somewhere Else.

The group’s slow-burning force is becoming more potent by the month. Foregoing the clean polish of professional studios for living spaces of contextual importance, Deliluh's dedication to thoughtful writing and analog documentation has been a constant process that's kept loyal fans highly anticipating their culminate fruit in this year’s offerings from Tin Angel Records.
