Love everything about your music, from New Romantic to Hope In The Air, all heart-stoppingly beautiful. Gig at Bristol Colston Hall earlier this year was one of my favourite gigs ever, only slightly behind Tom Waits, but only slightly.
All the best
James

Hey! Come and listen to our new songs, "Forest", I'll Be Waiting" and "In The Fire". Melancholic strings and voices, insistent rythms... We hope you enjoy.
Nice mention of the Hillside Fest set in Exclaim " Laura Marling performed songs from 2008's Alas, I Cannot Swim and her more recent, Mercury Prize-nominated release, I Speak Because I Can, including an affecting rendition of the latter's namesake"
Though I know it was a while ago, I saw you in Detroit quite a few months back. I cannot stop thinking about it. You are such an inspiration to me, and I am so glad I had the opportunity to see you and meet you, even if it was very brief. Thank you so much for playing in a less than thriving city. It means the world to me. Please visit again soon! -Riley
It’s a family affair as Ultragore Recordings returns with its second single, a two-pack of collabos between Sluggo and a couple other heavy hitters from the Ultragore family. After the success of the all out rage-fest that was I Get Violent, Sluggo and company show a deeper, more melodic side of Ultragore with Power Glove.
On the lead single, Sluggo teams up with UK vet Kirkus. After a string of strong releases with Dirty Circus, Stupid Fly, Execu7ion, Bass Punch, and BroTown, Kirkus seems to have met his match in Sluggo. While both still have a taste for murder bass and heavy whomp, Power Glove has the two venturing into new territory with surprising results.
The single opens in a New Age music style, with airy, melodic synths going into the drop. A long forgotten vocal snippet from a long forgotten 80’s commercial disguised as a feature film leads the charge to the bass drop where each producer’s character shines through in turn. A deep, spooky line is followed by Sluggo’s signature murder bass, which is followed by Kirkus’ signature amen drum rolls—this track screams collaboration in a good way, taking two elements and creating an alloy stronger than either of the bases alone. A chilled out mid-section showcases a deeper side of both producers, re-creating the airy synth vibe from the intro through the break and beyond.
In another collaboration tour de force, Sluggo and Kirkus team up with label boss Lank for a chuggy stepper on We Kill Everything. Once again, Sluggo and Kirkus open up with some airy synth notes, quickly deteriorating into some chopped up squelch going into the drop. A deep, heavy bass line chugs along at a healthy clip, with some 8-bit highlights and heavy bass injections along the way to keep things interesting. Despite its title, We Kill shows that the monster inside of Ultragore isn’t all blood-thirst and terror—apparently there’s a brain inside the beast. Ps - If you don't want us sending you new dubstep
