SLUMB – Come & Get It (feat. C.W Jones)
SLUMB has released their new video for the track titled ‘Come & Get It’. That smooth vibe and steady groove hit you right in the feels when combines with that weathered vocal style. This is a song to remember and define a memory with. Julien Marchal and Senbeï form a rich combination of talents only found in the best of the best. Genre hopping never felt so effortless and free of constraints and limits.
The video is a lucid mix of surreal and unexpected artistic liberties that form a yin to the music’s yang with bright cinematic flair and poetic underscore.
About SLUMB & ‘Come & Get It’
SLUMB combines Senbeï’s electronic sound explorations with Asian accents that go hand in hand with Julien Marchal’s refined piano.
Draped in adventurous poetry, SLUMB explores a musical universe made of sobriety and vaporous harmonies. As if Erik Satie met Burial, the melodies of pianist Julien Marchal marry the instrumentals of the producer Senbeï in an Electronica tinged with melancholy pop.
This is evident in the first single ‘Come and Get It’ from the new project featuring UK artist CW Jones. The song and video follow the story of a young man struggling with his addiction to painkillers while hallucinating in the streets of Moscow.
Directed by Russian filmmaker Andrei Bulatchik, (whose own career kicked off working on The Revenant directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu), the video takes you on a hypnotic and crazy journey following the main character through Moscow.
The song is a mixture of lavish vocals alongside CW’s ever insightful and tactful rapping, fuses the song together creating something fresh and unique, amidst a back story on the all too familiar subject addressing mental health.
This single falls ahead of SLUMB’s album release ‘Play Dead’ dropping on the 16th of April. Come and Get It is out on Friday 26th February. Buy links are HERE.

Social Station – Try (Cross My Heart)
With a passion for analog synths, hypnotic guitar, and undeniable melancholic vocals, the band originally started as a solo project in 2013 by singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist Paul Todd, debuting with the single ‘The Sun and The Air’, followed by their ‘With a Smile’ EP.
“The song ‘Try’ has been evolving for close to two years with its start as a slow and deep staccato guitar riff along the lines of early Chelsea Wolfe or PJ Harvey, and just the first verse. Moving the song to an arrangement for piano completed the verses but still did not have the Cross My Heart chorus and up-tempo pace. Still pretty gloomy,” says Paul Todd.
“Experimenting with an Akai MPC 100, the song took off with a life of its own. The guitar melodies and string arrangements just fell into place. Two words always come to mind when working on a Social Station song, yearning, and melancholy. The perspectives or lens may change but longing or struggling and feeling overwhelmed drives the writing process. This song in particular frames the challenge of feeling comfortable in your own skin while trying to have a meaningful and significant relationship.”
Their live show and distinct sound took shape through Paul Todd’s collaboration with Spenser Kydd. Their common music sensibility for distinct melodies and themes led Social Station to release their debut single ‘Awfully Pretty’ in 2015. That track received immediate attention and was hand-picked for Orkus Music and Culture Magazine’s monthly music compilation.
With the addition of Alexander Minx on drums, Social Station spent a summer in an industrial space in Baltimore, writing and recording their debut full-length album ‘Our Pleasure of Solitude’. This effort earned them inclusion in the NPR-affiliated WAMU Capital Soundtrack and Stereo Embers Magazine’s ‘Next Twenty Post-Punk Bands You Should Know About’.
With a renewed commitment to touring and recording and the departure of Spenser Kydd and Alexander Minx, this release marks a new chapter for Social Station. The extensive use of midi sequencing and the addition of classical musician Jacob Sebastian on bass has opened a whole new world of possibilities for the duo, both in the studio and on stage.
The two of them will kick off an extensive tour in support of their new single ‘Try (Cross My Heart’ and their back catalog. Catch them at one of the dates lined up their summer.

Klammer – Being Boiled
Klammer is a band with, not only a rich history in music but an even richer knowledge of music. They not only know what works, they are what works. And this is none more present than in their new single titled ‘Being Boiled’. With a thick beat, wonderfully decadent guitars, and the rich deep and pound vocals of Paul (Poss) Strickland leading the way, ‘Being Boiled’ is that special drive and sonic assault that give a rush of adrenaline to the brain while staying steady enough to remain in your mind long after that initial listen. We have a brilliant anthem for the summer.
‘Being Boiled’ was released on June 3rd, 2019, on all digital platforms, including Bandcamp and their official store (more links below).
About Klammer
Hailing from Leeds, Klammer draws on the members’ shared love for all things angular, dark, loud and melodic. Previously described as the love child of XTC and Gang Of Four, they offer an enticing contemporary twist on the post-punk attitude, blending elements of goth rock, punk rock, and darkwave, all with dark pop sensibilities. You’ll find plenty of hooks and dark and edgy broodiness coursing through their sound.Formed by UK Producer Steve Whitfield (The Cure/The Mission/Jane Weaver) in 2014, they have already released 3 albums to great critical acclaim, with last years ‘You Have Been Processed’ receiving fantastic reviews across the board. The singles ‘Modern God’ and ‘Spiral Girl’ off the album, both received airplay on 6 Music.
Having consistently played up and down the country both as a headline act and in support of some big-name bands (including The Skids, The Undertones, Richie Ramone, Chameleons Vox, Penetration, and The Membranes), they have also played at Rebellion for the last two years and The Great British Alternative Festival. Klammer is intent on consolidating their position as one of the country’s finest live Post Punk acts.
