Jim Carroll on music

LORN

Hailing from Illinois and signed to Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label, Lorn describes his music as “digital dirt”. What you’ll hear on debut album

Nothing Else

is a grandstanding display of dark, dreamy, occasionally menacing sounds.

B-MOVIE LIGHTNING

New project from former Cane 141 frontman Mike Smalle shows he hasn’t lost that deft touch when it comes to off-kilter pop tunes with shimmering electronic frills. Debut single

Triple Trouble

is out now and there’s an album on the way.

FACTORY FLOOR

Pulsating, post-punk grooves, metallic underworld disco and thundering noise from London trio and Factory Records fans, now signed to Blast First. By all accounts, their live show is a thing of magnificence.
