Keg Drop New Video for Farmhands

I’ve been really keen on Keg these last few months, as the band’s Assembly EP ruled, and they just don’t seem to be slowing down for anything at all. Today they’ve just put out a great new video for accompaniment to one of the standout tunes “Farmhands,” which takes the band to a fictional village. Alone, awesome, but then there’s the song. They hit upon the current fashion of sort of spoken-word post-punk, where the delivery’s very matter of fact, but everything moving behind is key. But, unlike many of their counterparts, they seem to be getting things a bit weirder here; they almost seem like they’re kind of pushing a proto-post-punk, dabbling in the mix with electronic soundscapes. Just keep an eye on this bunch, as they haven’t missed yet.

Keg Share Presidential Walk

We’ve found ourselves jamming to Keg quite a bit this year, and with a new EP on the horizon, perhaps we should share a bit of that joy with you. The Brighton outfit will surely get you some Shame comparisons, but there ability to flesh those sounds beyond is due to the group carrying 7 members in their pocket. You’ll get that angular post punk guidance, that sharp bob and weave delivery. But, the most exciting elements come when various members decide to toy with the song’s DNA, weaving in elements of jazz and post-rock into the band’s exploratory adventure. You’ll find this group on tour with Squid, where you can grab their Assembly EP, out October 22nd via Alcopop.
