5 Tewns Vol.4

Read Time: 2 mins

Sorry kittens, I was away last week, visiting fantasy island for the first time in nearly a decade (long story). A long weekend on the flagshagger-friendly east coast, complete with utterly depressing Stop the Boats union jacks and roundabout twattery. If that’s your bag, you’re a cunt, sir, and most certainly barking up the wrong digital tree with this blog — so off you fuck!

If you aren’t a little Ingland fascist, here are five tunes I’ve been bumping while staring at the clouds over the mountains.

Plant43 – Anthropomorphic Algorithms, Plant43 Recordings

Arpeggiated visions of hazy dystopian futures from one of the finest contemporary electro producers, Plant43. Taken from the latest album, Feeding the Machines, on Plant43 Recordings.

Neuntage Alt – March, Tapetopia

Ice-cold industrial post-punk from DDR outfit Neuntage Alt, lovingly reissued on Tapetopia / aufnahme + wiedergabe, Berlin.

Tortoise – Layered Presence, International Anthem

Nine bloody years since the last Tortoise album! A collective that has, more than most, become an intrinsic part of my personality. I’m over the moon about this one.

Insides – Skinned Clean, Fundamental Frequencies

Taken from the latest Telepathic Fish compilation: Trawling the Early 90s Ambient Underground and originally released on Geurnica, this gorgeous Steve Reich-esque bubbler has been soundtracking my misty morning walks for a while now.

Blumes – Wondering Why, Mangel Records

Beautiful, honest-to-God lo-fi pop music from Leipzig’s Blumes. It makes me smile from ear to ear.

Don’t forget to remind your local Anglo-Saxon that they’re not indigenous to Britain.
