Mount Sims, Toby Dammit
Mount Sims trades the club for a scuffed, shrugging groove, with Toby Dammit of Iggy Pop's and Nick Cave's bands on drums: What's the Big Deal asks its question with a sneer and a beat that will not sit still.
Mount Sims
A night drive with the headlights off: grinding analogue bass, clipped drum machines and Mount Sims' cool, menacing croon from the darker side of electroclash.
Mount Sims
Mount Sims trades his electroclash gloss for the guitar-driven shadows of his post-punk turn, a short, tense blast of darkwave unease.
Mount Sims, Jessie Evans
A short, sharp electroclash track from Mount Sims' 2008 album Happily Ever After, with André Lang's live drums under the synths and the underground punk singer Jessie Evans adding saxophone.
IDLES
IDLES' song about the cycle of alcoholism passed from mother to son, from their 2021 album Crawler: a menacing one-note riff, heavy chords and Joe Talbot howling a gospel-preacher call, here in a live KEXP session.
Sleaford Mods
'Tweet Tweet Tweet' by Sleaford Mods is a gritty post-punk rant born on a dismal bus ride, aimed at people lost in their phones and at the politics of 2014 England, filmed here live for KEXP in 2023: one man pressing play, one man spitting fire.
