Self Improvement Reissue Visible Damage

Leave a comment

Floating Mill Records has been releasing some great stuff over the last few years, though most of it came from defunct projects. But, the label just signed on to re-release the incredible Self Improvement debut LP, Visible Damage. Over the course of ten tracks, you find yourself on pins and needles, riddle with anxiety as the band frantically throw down jagged riffs with jittering art-rock grooves. Jett’s vocals give you a bit of that spoken-post-punk vibe, though there seems to be a sort of sinister vibe to it, matching with the musical vibe punching through. I mean, the album is worth it alone for the incredible cover of Prodigy‘s “Firestarter.” Just spend some time with the release, and if you dig, then grab that re-issue right away!

Floating Mill Records Release 7″ from the Antelopes

If you’re a fan of the post-punk genre, but feel like you don’t have the time to really unearth all the hidden gems that have come down the line, might we suggest keeping an eye on Floating Mill Records. Having already turned me on to the Stick Figures, they’re back with the Antelopes, a London act that, like many, was gone far too soon! Today, the label release a 7″ that was originally released in the 80s, but they do so along with some new demos/live versions to accompany the release. I love the heavy guitar swirl on this track below, like a shadowy lurker hanging out behind singer Glenn Dallender’s heavy voice. The entrance of Tilly Vosburgh near the song’s back half is a welcome extra layer to the tune. Spend some time here today, and like I said, keep an eye on what the label is treating us to these days.

The Stick Figures Release Archeology

Leave a comment

It’s always interesting to me when you get a reissue, and you’re likely, “damn, you sure this isn’t just the latest hits?” Floating Mill Records have announced Archeology, a compilation of sorts compiling work from Tampa’s The Stick Figures. Honestly, how has the world not clamored for this before; it sounds exactly like something you’d expect from Love Is All or Life Without Buildings, only way before their time. Rachel Evergreen’s voice sounds incredible behind those squalling guitars and driving rhythms, and frankly I can’t get it out of my head at all; there’s something in so passionate about the delivery it’s hard to imagine this band not being something incredibly huge. Perhaps this will put the group on your radar a bit. Archeology is out now via Floating Mill.
