Remember when Fleetwood Mac were derided, the pariah of our precious underground?

And then remember when everyone just thought nothing of them at all?

Of course you don’t, and neither does Sophia Knapp. Be thankful for the capricious mistress of our recent histories.

Weird Dreams – “666.66″

Iceage and Sexdrome throw a jagged curveball in the face of those who thought they had the latter pegged.

The sound of a glass held to a squat wall, the terror and ecstasy of the other side filtering through with barely suppressed desire.

In the middle of the night, I go walking in my sleep.

From the mountains of faith to the river so deep. I must be looking for something, something sacred that I lost. But the river is wide and it’s too hard to cross.

And even though I know the river is wide, I walk down every evening and stand on the shore and I try to cross to the opposite side. So I can finally find what I’ve been looking for.

In the middle of the night, I go walking in my sleep.

Former Lovvers main man Shaun Hencher leaves behind the bile and instead skips back into earshot to merrily lead us all down the river(s cuomo) of golden dreams.

And Sexbeat are releasing it on 7″ on 30th January. You don’t need me to tell you what to do. But if I were to, you’d be guided towards this buy link right here.
