VESSELS<\/span><\/a>
In recent years, the term \u2018experimental\u2019 when applied as a musical genre has digressed into something of an excuse for bands who wouldn’t know a tune if it kneed them in the groin and slapped them in the face to hide behind.<\/p>\n

Enter VESSELS, a band whose mere existence seems to be built upon by continuously confounding and subsequently exceeding any kind of pre-conceived expectations either the listening public or indeed band members themselves may have.<\/p>\n

VESSELS have created something that is both unique and alluring which should endear them way beyond the chin-stroking legions of MOGWAI devotees.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the band’s choice of THE PAPER CHASE’s John Congleton on production duties, a man previously responsible for turning EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY’s ‘All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone’ into the masterpiece it has since become, was an inspired one. The re-recorded versions of thier singles glisten with an effervescence not previously heard on their limited edition 45 formats, ‘Yuki”s piano-led signature providing a classical-themed yin to ‘Two Words And A Gesture”s jazzy prog-folk yang (think YOUTHMOVIES covering THE TWILIGHT SAD’s ‘Mapped By What Surrounded Them’).<\/p>\n

Their alliances with metal, abstract dance beats and lo-fi folk also shouldn’t be underestimated. VESSELS’ debut album ‘A Hundred Times In Every Direction’ begins dissipated, almost like a drum machine in slow motion, before the guitars kick in, aided by a stampeding onslaught of drums halfway through that brings to mind how BATTLES might sound if they ever developed post-hardcore tendencies into their music.<\/p>\n

VESSELS should be commended on making one of the most forward-thinking, non-generic records you’re likely to hear this year.<\/p>\n

ORCOP<\/span><\/a>
Cardiff based Gwydion Ap Hywel’s experimental and organic tunes are living proof that brains and electronic music can run hand in hand.<\/p>\n

ORCOP was recently heard highjacking Rob Da Bank’s Radio One show for a whole hour long live mix – not something everyone can say they’ve done in the past year.<\/p>\n
