One of my favourite bands from one of my favourite music cities has released a new LP!

IST IST 🇬🇧 hail from Manchester and record the kind of dark sound I love. They are a rex Festive 15 artist.

Here is the new LP “Dagger” on the rex turntable.

Since it is Monday, I am going to pop the week with the two opening tracks on the LP. First up is I Am The Fear”. This reminds me of a cross between THE CULT and JOY DIVISION.

Next comes “Makes No Difference.” Ni could easily be persuaded that pal PETER HOOK is playing bass.

Enjoy the music week ahead…
