Virgin Vacation, an instrumental quartet that blend math rock, improvisation jazz, krautrock and electronic beats, have released their eponymous debut EP on cassette, vinyl and digital formats – available from Bandcamp

The EP kicks off with a sound collage of a woman’s voice dispassionately recounting events related to the Hong Kong protests—before being crowded out by multiple copies of itself and a rising drone, reflecting the overwhelming news cycle in the city.

Independent comic book artist Lai Tat Tat Wing illustrates provides the EP’s cover art.

Fardhell Muchell Release Second Album ‘Opinions Matter, Brains Shatter’

Hong Kong based band Fardhell Muchell have released their second album Opinions Matter, Brains Shatter.

Fardhell Muchell is the current mutation of a crazy rock band founded in Shanghai in 2014 by a group of Italian expats initially named Bordhell. After several transformations and new members Bordhell became the Müchell in 2016 which is the Hong Kong version of the original band. In 2020 they evolved into their current form Fardhell Muchell!

Here’s how the band describes the album: “As well as it was for the first album, the title Opinions Matter, Brains Shatter is not a mere title taken from a song in it, but the password to unlock the hidden message of each song.

The opening track Rollerblades seems to teach us that the threats are often well visible and obvious, even in the most innocuous things and aspects of our life. Of course, we don’t like to read, so we realized that we are screwed when it’s too late.

What’s worse than taking advantage of someone who can’t fight back Rotten Hearts is dedicated to all those bastards who do that for a job. A whistleblower said that this song is dedicated to insurance and telephone companies, banks and vigili urbani.

Will be 2021 the year remembered as the dawn after the long night?…Or the only one to wake up at the sunrise will be Godzilla? This thought must have generated some 21 Anxiety. Surely the light at the end of the tunnel is represented by the massive vaccine campaign that just started.

Lack of Humanity should put you in the right mood for a self-vaccination session in the parking lot of the local train station.

Katsu Anares is the hero nobody needs, but he is always there for us! Constantly in the wrong place, always at the wrong time. Spoiler alert, he doesn’t wear a cape… nor a mask.

It’s well known that every single snowflake is different to one another, you’ll never find two identical Snowflakes … but what happens when they pile together? would you be able to tell the difference anymore?”
