U.S. GIRLS is the moniker used by Philadelphia's Megan Remy. Megan Remy is a chanteuse from (perhaps) the future, guiding all who choose to sail on an evocative trip through her unique aural hallucinogenic landscapes .Like fellow DIY ingenues Sally Strobelight and Inca Ore, U.S. Girls' approach is deceptively ethereal and delightfully haunting - a lithe, lysergic gamma ray of keyboard murk beamed over percussive bonk that sort of resembles Diamanda Galas reinterpreting Suicide. New album 'Go Grey' is the second full-length release by U.S. Girls and proves to be an even more fully realized excursion into a hazy alternate universe where pop vocals and muzzy scree fuse in harmony. The album conjures up ambient aerosols while luminous kaleidoscopes of sound sizzle, peak, and explode. Her label Siltbreeze thinks U.S. Girls should be hailed as the Eno of the 23rd century and we agree whole-heartedly.

TIME is the musical collision of Frances Morgan and Mark Dicker. The duo wrangle eerie guitar, mind-frying static and electronic rainbows into a sombre yet beautiful landscape populated by Frances' stark and vulnerable vocal. Clanging woozy riffs stride through bowed atmospheres of synth pulse and psychedelic viola work outs, as much haunted by Henry Flint as Charalambides, only with a darker and more malevolent core. The group's self-titled EP is now available as a limited edition CD-R with handmade lino print cover from their webiste below.

HEATSICK is the solo moniker of Berlin-based performer/musician Steven Warwick, also known as one half of the duo Birds of Delay. Heatsick uses various instruments including voice, keyboard and percussion to create saturated washes of tone, floating and disintegrating entropic loops, while also using deliberately broken continuity as a playful, live conceptual gesture. The project is focused on repetition as a means of creating abstraction, improvising with organic variations of a theme, yet embracing the artificial to facilitate a psychedelic mindshift. The music references a palette of sources from Musique Concrete through to the early Chicago House mix tapes, creating a unique and compelling sound. With forthcoming LPs on Olde English Spelling Bee and his own Alcoholic Narcolepsy imprint, this will be the first Heatsick tour in the UK.
