up with the way performers treated music “as a means to an end” in the capital, they wrote a bitchy album on the subject, ‘Corruptible Faces’, before high-tailing it to California, where they are now happily resident. But they’re not completely bummed about Mexico they’re openly indebted to 60s garage-rock bands like The Dug Dugs and The Spiders, and say there is some good music coming out of the country just now. “I guess we’re just difficult people!” says Lorena, with a laugh that says they’re anything but.
Jaakko Eino Kalevi is a Finnish, Chris Rea-loving tram driver and self-taught multiinstrumentalist. His duvet-soft ‘Dreamzone’ EP is out on Weird World next month. Koichi Ymnha’s
‘Chambers’ is released on Sonic Cathedral in February
Wet are perfectly named. The New
Grimm Grimm project floats on an axis of spidery folk and acid-fried psych. See him at Catch on 7th November. Clever couplets and awkward stories sung in a cakey Australian twang personify Courtney Barnett’s debut. Get ‘The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas’ now.

The Argentine trio have just recorded a new album; seek out the ‘Goldfish’ EP in the meantime. Leeds five-piece Autobahn aren’t just another punk band. There’s that loaded name, for a start. Then there’s gruelling intensity and elegant grace. ‘Autobahn 1’ is out on 4th November on Tough Love.
Blending METZ’s tone with the torn melodies of early Vivian Girls, HSY are a sludgy nightmare. Download their EP from hussywhore. bandcamp.com.
