new new new with thorpy towers twist


Some may recognise this track from the past year of live shows but up until now, we had never released a recording of ‘In The City’.
Here it is now, recorded once again with the mightily talented Beak>, whose tracks you shall also find on this complilation.
Anika - In The City by Invada Records
All tracks are highly recommended, especially fairly new female punk/post-punk act, the Vees, Geoff’s new project Drokk, the track off the Quakers album by Katalyst. Basically all of it: Thought Forms, who supportted Portishead late last year, the Fauns, DDMMYYYY and Scarlett Rascal.

Here’s an interview i did with some nice people from Mxdwn in Echo Park, LA around February time.
It was my birthday. I seem unable to string a sentence together. Really clever when you’re talking about political journalism ha! Fools. In my defense: I was a/couple+ white wines in and it was my birthday.
