Next big things

Butterclock

ButterClock is a young Parisian who makes some great downtempo along the lines of The XX or Bat For Lashes. It’s atmospheric and slow and very French, though according to Facebook they’re a «gathering of creatures from Nevada». ButterClock takes you off on a blurred red wine coma of journey that leaves you curled up asleep in the back of a deserted theatre, the strains of the sub base from next doors club filtering through the dusty walls.

Yves Klein Blue

The name is a metaphor for the band's aspiration to create music that will never fade with age. Or, perhaps, like Yves Klein himself, they wish to paint women's naked bodies intense blue and roll around canvases with them? Michael Tomlinson - Vox/Guitar
Charles Sale - Lead Guitar
Sean Cook - Bass
Chris Banham - Drums
