Single Review: Ummagma - 'Rotation' / 'Live And Let Die' & music videos.

Ukraine based two-piece Shauna McLarnon (from Canada) and Alexx Kretov (from Ukraine) make up the wonderfully eclectic duo that are Ummagma. Noisy in all the right places, Ummagma will do nothing short of sending shock waves through your synapses with their sultry blend of synth pop, alternative rock and electronica.

Back in December, Emerald & Doreen Recordings released “Rotation/Live and Let Die” by Ummagma. 'Rotation' is the first on the double A-side single release which comes at you full speed,  shooting sonic lasers of trippy adrenaline straight to the heart. 'Live and Let Die' is a transfixing, disorderly track where McLarnon's vocals almost induce you into a state of catatonia.


If you fancy a break from reality and releasing yourselves from the shackles of the daily grind, we recommend you immerse yourselves in the accompanying videos to each track below, which only serve to delve deeper into Ummagma's  wild, authentic, unadulterated dreamy bliss. Go on, we dare you!

Single Review: Bambi - 'Reap From The Dying Love'

 

It comes as quite a surprise to hear that London / Essex alternative indie four-piece Bambi have been together for less than a year. James Gonsalves - (Vocals/Guitar), Steve D'Arcy - (Guitar/Vocals) Tyrone Foster - (Guitar/Vocals Miles Shawyer - (Bass) and Jordan Hockley -(Drums) have certainly wasted no time garnering attention in every way they possibly could with their polished, dominating, sublime, stop-and-take-notice sound.


Bambi's latest offering 'Reap From The Dying Love' -  was released on 17th November via Right Track Records/Universal and is a wonderfully captivating indie track that splices underlying 70's psychedelic rock, 80's post punk and the modernity of melodic, electronic indie to produce an ear tingling, spine shivering song that is guaranteed to stay at the forefront of your mind. We'd even go as far as saying Bambi are the love children of Blue Oyster Cult, Echo and The Bunnymen and Foals. Whatever they are though, we're digging 'em.
