about

this is a mini-album (which is what you're meant to call an album that is shorter than a normal album) by jehova’s fitness, a noise rock band from berlin. that means we (mathew johnson and murray royston-ward who are writing this about our band) play songs but they’re a bit messy and chaotic at times. we also improvise a bit with our songs which means they’re made up as we go along so sometimes it’s a bit shit but we edited it all so most of the shit bits have been taken out so it's more fun. we recorded at the funkhaus in berlin because mathew works there and it didn't cost us any money. when murray sings it’s not really singing, it’s more like whining, straining, and choking, what phil minton calls “mucking about with your mouth”, but we think it’s good and also a bit funny too. mathew is a really good guitar player but to make it sound more exciting he’ll play lots of really fast or out of tune things so you’re not quite sure what’s coming next. we'll be going on a short tour in the summer so come and watch us if we're in your town, or you feel like travelling to another town.

Nuncio Ref!
by Sophie Sleigh-Johnson

Saw this live recently and easily the best thing I've seen this year. Spoken words (what wonderful words) and noise collage that play off of each other (rather than like a backing track). Heady mix. The House Organ

The Work Is Slow
by Body Meπa

Keep coming back to this. On principle I think I'd usually hate the hard panned guitars but it totally works here. Plus Melvin Gibbs on bass, what more do you need! The House Organ

Many Glorious Petals
by Food People

I've been slow on Food People but crossed my path since moving back to Notts and glad they did. Entire back catalog is massively worth your time but this is the new record so grip it if you can. The House Organ
