Talk Show Drop Red/White

January 18, 2024 RayRay Leave a comment

After a slow burn with a few singles over a couple of years, London based Talk Show really started to make a lot of noise this past year with multiple, straight slamming new singles. As we drive into the new year, the band is full steam ahead with a new album called Effigy due out on February, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the short new year. As anticipation builds for the full length, you should take some time to check out the latest new slammer called “Red/White” below. Get after it lads. If you’re in a giving mood, Talk Show are trying to raise a little money to make it stateside for SXSW in March. You can find their donation page over on IG.

Talk Show’s new album Effigy is available on February 16th via Missing Piece Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Talk Show Share Leather Video

August 24, 2022 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Hear me out, but imagine you’re making a weird musical stew, which is how I imagine this Talk Show track came to exist in the world. It all starts off with building your roux, which in this case seems to be a sort of weird world where early bits of the Cure get melded with this sort of hyperactive bit you’d get from old Aphex Twin and Prodigy. But, things aren’t quite ready, so you sprinkle in a bit of Liars later recordings and the propulsive nature of Sleaford Mods. You’re set there, so you add in the main bits, some darkened vocals, which blend in the dark post-punk vocals of acts like Shame. I share that recipe only to let you in on the big secret…there’s nothing I’ve heard quite like this jam. The band will release their Touch the Ground EP via Missing Piece on September 23rd.

Southern Ballad from Leif Vollebekk

September 27, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As we move into cooler temperatures, it’s time for the sad bastard in me to break out the whiskey and let the more melancholy tunes of the world make their way onto my stereo. One of the artists I’ll be waiting for is Leif Vollebekk, who has just signed on to Missing Piece Records for the release of his next album, North Americana. There’s an old-school innocence to what he’s doing, writing great lyrics to accompany the down-trodden tunes that yank at your heartstrings. That album will hit early next year, but you can also download an awesome Borrowed Time EP featuring covers and the first single from his record, which we’ve got below.
