While gwilliamrexunderground365 is focused on putting the 40+ year history of indie music into perspective, that does not mean my ears are trained solely on the past.

Far from it.

In the past two weeks alone you have been introduced to exciting new outfits like EGYPTIAN BLUE, BDRMM AND GRIAN CHATTEN (from FONTAINES D.C.). [Ed. Note. Just today group member Kristin sent a photo of the same CHATTEN tune that came up on her satellite feed!]

Today, a bit of a twist. Let me introduce you to a brand new act that has its feet firmly planted in the past. It is a supergroup (if you will) whose core members are the legendary producer JACKKNIFE LEE, former SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES drummer BUDGIE and original CURE drummer and keyboardist LOL TOLHURST.

There are also going to be special guests such as BOBBY GILLESPIE of PRIMAL SCREAM and LCD SOUNDSYSTEM honcho JAMES MURPHY

The band describe their debut LP “Los Angeles” as “a hard-hitting and compulsively exploratory 55-minute electronic mindscrew, founded on unrivalled rhythmic expertise, fleshed out with an armoury of synths, guitars (Jacknife’s forte) and supplementary percussion, often overlaid with elite-class strings and brass, then universally twisted, manipulated and quite masterfully sculpted by Lee, with his super-producer’s hat on.”

Whew. If that is remotely accurate, I can’t wait.

The LP drops in November but here is the title track featuring the always distinctive vocals of Mr. Murphy.
