THE SUBTLE DOOM OF THE FALL/NEW DEMOS+PRACTICE TAPES

It's been a while since I mentioned Goxxip but this does not mean they are any further from my heart than normal, and they will always be close. Anyone keeping an eye on their whereabouts will have heard the new demo '1,000 Things' on their myspace this past week, a pretty promising idea of what might be to come on their next album. A slight departure from the torrent of thick bass lines and huge voice that was 2005's 'Standing in the Way of Control', the vocals are more restrained than you might expect for one, and while the bass is still the driving force it's the joy division-like guitar that sticks, highly excellent on all counts.

They don't seem to be playing too many shows from now till the end of the year, having toured with 'Standing in The Way of Control' for around three years now, but if you get a chance to see them I highly recommend that you should- the smaller the venue the better.
