A math-rock band hailing from London, Quadrilles recently released their new EP ‘Isotypes’ on very reasonably priced vinyl from Lonely Voyage Records. Friends of Olympians (in fact, their EP artwork is by Michael Parkin – the man also responsible for the knights you can see above), they share a label with Polymath and Lost in…
Written about the frustrations of corporate business ethics (or lack of…), Spectral Nights favourites Quiet Lions have released the video for ‘The Wolves of the Capital’. The first single from their next EP ‘No Illusions’, it’s full of intelligent math-rock guitar lines and maybe a touch of Arcane Roots in the passionate chorus where Michael…
