<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/audiobooks-now-in-a-minute">audiobooks - Now! (in a minute)</a>

audiobooks. audiobooks. What can you say about audiobooks that does them any justice? The London-based pair have already done so much that audiobooks is but a chapter in their ongoing story. But what a chapter.

Walking the tightrope between ultra-realism and surreal concept art, Now! (in a minute) is a fever-dream journey through daily life and the inner-thoughts of Evangeline Ling and David Wrench. Prosaic and deadpan, akin to Human League, disquieting and hypnotic, just like The Fall. Ling's exploration of her art is grounded and aided by Wrench's sense for melody, texture and fun.

This whirlwind of synths, screams, poetry - and even coughing fits - may not be to everyone's taste but this was never the intention. Now! (in a minute)is a 'push it to the limits' test for both the band and the listener.

Albums of the Year 2018

Kristin Hersh's album Possible Dust Clouds. Available here on Limited Edition Indie Exclusive Silver Colored LP, Standard Black LP and Standard CD.

This is the 10th studio album from musician and author Kristin Hersh as seen in Throwing Muses as well as 50 Foot Wave and of course solo. Kristin Hersh is a legend.

A rocking it shaking the room pop goes boom album. Rough and rowdy psych -shimmer rock. Rumbling lo-fi pop anthems with ridiculously stomach-wobbling tremolo-ridden (all hail it sounds great!) guitar. Gloriously harmonious pop vocals. Like the best bits of the anthemic ‘90s with some of the wilder bits of ‘60s psych coming out to play with the best of the current crop of Aussie/American psych bands.

A highly personalized sociopathic gem delivered as a futuristic rewriting of how music works, a melodious breeze with a tail wind of venomous din. A ten-track album, her tenth studio set. Enveloping the juxtaposition of the concept of ‘dark sunshine’, a brooding solo record creating with friends to expand her off-kilter sonic vision; a squally, squeaky mix of discordant beauty. Feedback and phasing gyrate from simply strummed normality, imagine Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine cranking up a Dylan couplet. Messing with both extremes of the sonic spectrum: atonal and arrhythmic, a unique sound and a glorious return to form for one of alternative rock’s true innovators. “Sometimes the most subversive thing I can do musically is adhere to standard song structure, sometimes the creepiest chords are the ones we’ve heard before, twisted into different shapes, and sometimes a story is lived a thousand times before we can ride it like a roller coaster. Nothing wholly unfamiliar is gonna make you look twice. When you can describe a record as being “deceptively” anything, you’re hinting at the sociopathic nature of music. Something I love. Imagine truly buying your own sunshine and charm, but also your darkness and violence; the two sides of your psychology showing each other off in relief. Songs can do that...we can’t, really. Darkness we’ve seen.” Kristin Hersh, July 2018
