Eavesdropping on a phone call with these two Italian musicians, discussing a time where it was harder to be heard in the wider world, but where you were more likely to create musical bonds over a bowl of pasta.

We got our favorite purveyors of music from our own shores ‘No Pain In Pop’ to converse with our favorite jam-out label in the US ‘Underwater Peoples’ via the old interweb; The boys discuss having your heart in the right place for putting out deserved decent music.

We caught up with Gang Gang Dance ahead of their show with Animal Collective and took them on a stroll around the rumbustious streets of Brixton, where they seemed very much at home.

We took a visit to French’s illustration studio where his days are fueled by tea and only the most brutal of death metal.

This song immediately gives me that all encompassing feeling that tends to set in at about six in the morning.

Here is a wee taster of the vast sound this duo have been producing on their South London sound farm.

Much like this particularly awe-inspiring kid I went to school with, “Don’t Lie” was his catchphrase – he would hold you by the ears and command you not to lie, before eating multi-coloured biros and running out the classroom to scale up the walls of the corridor.

Be My Girl – Giving more then just a little nod to T-Rex and the guy we are not aloud to talk about anymore, you know… perfectly rhymes with shitter and bitter!

‘Close to The Ground’ is destined to find its place in a psychological horror movie in a scene involving possessed and rabid wild boar running through the dusk toward the orphanage. That’s my prediction anyway.

Famous for not being famous and as baffled as the rest of us as to why.
