‘NIGHT VISION’ OUT NOW // LAUNCH GIG TONIGHT
‘Night Vision’ - our sophomore offering - is finally out today. Listen to it, play it to a friend, tell us what you think of it. Seriously - one line reviews are anticipated. We already have one from @jordano_lutherie
“It’s not unapproachable, it’s just not friendly.”
This is the first song we properly arranged as a band back in the Summer of 2023 in the basement of Electric Ladyland and it set a tone of dark-and-light contrast which we have continued to enjoy ever since. I wrote ‘Night Vision’ about other people’s misfortunes - I hope it brings you some joy.
Epexegetically yours,
Kilian
Now some words from Oli:
Night Vision is the first song I heard from this band in it’s non drums demo status which is the main reason I decided to join after the demise of My Octopus Mind. I was venerable and needed to thrash something with little care for musical nuance. After much demoing around with drum ideas, the end result is an unsettling bout of the noise rocks with much patience and much winding up, being brutally let out of the box when the tension is simply too much.
================================
‘Night Vision’ was recorded at @ninevoltleap by the esteemed Dominic Bailey who also mixed and mastered the track for us.

Bristol avant-proglords known for blasting giant multicolour riffs out of a wall of fighting frequencies where every part aims to be the loudest. Following from the energetic sci-fi stylings of Church Of The Second Sun (Mondo Death Waltz) the quartet, in collaboration with Stolen Body Records, presents Organesson, a direct expression of their celebratory approach to aggressive music.
𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐒 (@theredandpurplesongs )
Noise sludge band from kent. Voted Kerrangs sexiest singer 7 years in a row. New album Crack Machine out via Road To Masochist. Awesome drumming and ok guitars!
𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐢𝐫 (@surfaceairband )
From the splintering bone-ashes of progressive rock, post-punk and the sallow remains of no-wave springs a rare bird of apocryphal breed. Featuring members of My Octopus Mind, Jakabol and WINDSHAKE, Surface Air are poised to unleash aural intoxication onto unsuspecting minds in 2026 and beyond. Early career highlights to date include supporting psych-prog extraordinaires Plantoid, performing at Shambala Festival 2025 (PFR stage) as well as being a regular fixture on Bristol’s community run events in 2025 and beyond.

WOW!!! Massive thank you to @rickbeato1 for including DEFECTOR in his TOP 20 STANKIEST GROOVES RIGHT BEFORE THE SECOND VERSE video.
Thank you to everyone who made this happen, in particular @andy_edwards1968 who I’m told played the track to Rick in the back of his transit after they went to see Sombr at the Ill Repute the other week.
Check out Rick's full video in our story!
Coming soon to… THE MIDLANDS.
It is our joy to announce we will soon be heading to the midlands to play a selection of shows.
First up on Friday the 24th of April we will be at @jtsoar in Nottingham with the brilliant @codexserafini_band and @glassdiet courtesy of the good folks at @buttonpusherdiy - get your fix of psychedelic frenzy!!! (2)
The following day (Sat 25th Apr) we head down to Birmingham for a long-awaited return visit to the @rocknrollbrewhouse - we played there last year and it was legitimately one of our favourite places to play yet so we cannot wait to come back! (3-4)
Finally, we are also excited to announce that we have been added to the @stourjam line-up which we will be playing at @thethreelionsstourport on Sunday the 7th of June at 3PM. (5)
Be there!!!
UPCOMING SHOW: 11th of March at @thegallibristol with @horsefair.wav

Save the date, bring your mates, make some new mates there… Also it’s FREE ENTRY, you’d be daft not to come.
