				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest grand finale took place yesterday at Liverpool, UK, where all 26 participant&#8217;s of different countries competed for the trophy and becoming the next host/hostess for next year&#8217;s Eurovision. After 4 days of the duration of the competition, Loreen from Sweden was crowned the winner for this years Eurovision with the song <em>&#8220;Tattoo&#8221;</em>. This victory marks the 7th time that Sweden has won Eurovision. The last time Sweden won, was 8 years ago in 2015 where Måns Zelmerlow won with <em>&#8220;Heroes&#8221;. </em>Sweden is now tied with Ireland for the most Eurovision victories.</p>
<p>Loreen was also crowned winner in 2012 for her song, <em>&#8220;Euphoria&#8221;</em> and was rendered the bookmakers clear favourite to win this years Eurovision. Visitors of Eurovisionworld predicted in the Eurovision Poll that Loreen was going to win. In terms of results, as Sweden has the most wins, Finland takes the cake in the most public votes. But in total, Loreen and Sweden won by having 583 points. More of the detailed results will be found <a href="https://eurovisionworld.com/eurovision/2023">here.</a></p>

<p>Loreen has been a rising star on the music scene, eversince her appearance on Swedish Idol 2004. For the past few years, she has gained national recognition for her hit singles, <em>&#8220;Euphoria&#8221; </em>and <em>&#8220;Statements.&#8221; </em>Her uniqueness of sound contains an elemented blend of pop, dance and electronic music, which has won her fans from all the walks of life. Her performance at the Eurovision Song Contest that truly solidified her status as a musical force to be reckoned with. From the moment she stepped onto the stage, dressed in a stunning silver and black jumpsuit, she effortlessly encourages the audience&#8217;s attention with her powerful vocals and infectious energy.</p>
<p>As she sang her song, <em>&#8220;We Got The Power&#8221;, </em>her undeniable passion and charisma shone through, electrifying the room and inspiring thousands of viewers at home to dance and sing along. The judges were equally impressed by Loreen&#8217;s performance, awarding her top marks for her vocals, creativity, and stage presence. In the end, she emerged as the clear winner with a commanding lead over the contestants.</p>
<p>The BBC Eurovision cast went to interview her to express her thoughts on being crowned the winner. She started off by <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0f82zys">saying</a>, <em>&#8220;Darling, I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d do it ever again,&#8221; </em>she said. <em>&#8220;But then they sent me the song and I could just feel it was a good song, and then they popped the question.</em> <em>&#8220;The answer?&#8221; </em>BBC asked, Loreen responds, <em>&#8220;Hell no&#8221;</em>. It took her team, with the inclusion of the same songwriter and producers of Euphoria four weeks to change her mind and encouraged her to go for the double gold in Liverpool.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, Loreen has big plans for her music career. She hopes to continue pushing the boundaries of pop music and experimenting with new sounds and styles that will keep her fans on their toes.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sex Pistols&#8217; bassist Glen Matlock recently played an updated version of the band&#8217;s classic hit, <em>&#8220;God Save The Green&#8221;,</em> to coincide with King Charles III&#8217;s coronation yesterday. The song was first released in 1977 and is known for its anti-establishment lyrics and controversial message.</p>
<p>The London&#8217;s 100 club was the location it took place to support the release of his new album, <em>Consequences Coming</em>, which was released last week. In the announcement of the gig, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/sex-pistols-glen-matlock-to-play-intimate-coronation-london-show-3439915">Matlock wrote</a>: <em>&#8220;I wander what type of warrant I&#8217;ll get?! Come on down to the 100 club this Saturday and find out.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Matlock&#8217;s updated version features lyrics that does not shy away from addressing contemporary issues such as climate change, Brexit, and the Black Lives Matter movement. The lyrics also showcase Matlock&#8217;s wit and humor, as he critiques the current state of politics and society.</p>
<p>Ahead of the show, Matlock made it clear that he will not be changing the lyrics to the band&#8217;s iconic protest anthem because he believed that it was proving tricky to make the new lines rhyme but luckily, he found a way. Matlock introduced the reworked lyriccs. He confirmed that it was for <em>&#8220;one night only&#8221; </em>before singing the opening line, <em>&#8220;We&#8217;re gonna save the King/ It ain&#8217;t just old thing&#8221;. </em>You can see the footage of him performing the updated anthem below.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Sex Pistols&#39; &#39;God Save the Queen&#39; has been updated to reflect Charles&#39; coronation.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Matlock spoke to Channel 4 and said that it was a <em>&#8220;bit weird&#8221; </em>singing <em>&#8220;God Save The Queen&#8221; </em>when she is <em>&#8220;not around anymore.&#8221; </em>He added on to say, <em>&#8220;Instead of changing that one word [King], you&#8217;ve got to change a good few of them to make it all work. I&#8217;m just doing it one time, for a laugh, I&#8217;m not re-recording the song and putting it out, that would be a whole publishing nightmare. I&#8217;m doing it for the people out there at that moment in time and why not? It&#8217;s a laugh. I like poking fun at the establishment.&#8221; </em></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">For one night only, the Sex Pistols will play &#39;God Save the King&#39; &#8211; changing the title of their punk anthem.</p>
<p>Bassist Glen Matlock told <a href="https://twitter.com/krishgm?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@krishgm</a> it was a &quot;bit weird&quot; singing the original as &quot;she&#39;s not around any more&quot;. <a href="https://t.co/RX2joOMcyw">pic.twitter.com/RX2joOMcyw</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Channel 4 News (@Channel4News) <a href="https://twitter.com/Channel4News/status/1654891712131522563?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 6, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>When Matlock&#8217;s thoughts were shared in regards to his opinion about the coronation via <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/05/sex-pistols-star-reworks-god-save-the-queen-rhymes-for-king">The Guardian</a>, he admitted that, <em>&#8220;there&#8217;s just so many people in destitution at the moment in this country.&#8221; </em>He then adds on to say, <em>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s kind of rubbing their noses in it a little bit. It&#8217;s all a distraction, but that&#8217;s the country we live in. Things are bleak for a lot of people and I think the royal family is pretty much the same as Love Island or The X Factor. They&#8217;re kind of the opium of the masses, just keeping people quiet. This is England and that&#8217;s the way it is, what can I do about it? I just can rail against it every now and then.&#8221;</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scottish indie rock band, The View finally announce their upcoming UK tour for Autumn 2023. After performing in front of 10,000 people for four nights in Glasgow last December. The band &#8211; consisting of founding members, Kyle Falconer (vocals/guitar), Kieren Webster (bass/vocals) and Pete Reilly (guitar) &#8211; will make their first appearance in their full-scale UK headline tour since 2017. In addition, this will also include a London show at Scala.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p>Pre-order our new album &#8216;Exorcism of Youth&#8217; from the official store to get pre-sale access to tickets: <a href="https://t.co/SfdoXV05dp">https://t.co/SfdoXV05dp</a></p>
<p>General sale begins Friday 5th May at 9am. <a href="https://t.co/aYPHXenjBQ">pic.twitter.com/aYPHXenjBQ</a></p>
<p>— The View (@viewofficial) <a href="https://twitter.com/viewofficial/status/1651858789795270657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 28, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Fans of The View who have pre-ordered the upcoming album of theirs, <em>Exorcism Of Youth </em>will receive access to a ticket pre-sale, which will open on Wednesday 3 May. Pre-sale availability will still remain live until the tickets go on a general sale on Friday 5 May at 9 am. For more information, it will be on the band&#8217;s website through <a href="https://theview.tmstor.es/">here.</a> Tickets will be available on the Ticketmaster page through <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/the-view-tickets/artist/1091587?irgwc=1&amp;utm_source=2011783-Sam%20Warrenger&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=2011783&amp;awtrc=&amp;clickId=2l-T9YXpXxyNWDX3-fziy0xHUkAVEmxtGVV-Qc0&amp;camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_2011783&amp;ircid=7559">here.</a></p>
<p>It has also been confirmed that The View will perform at other live shows. Intimate headline gigs at Manchester&#8217;s Deaf Institute (May 10) and London Oslo (May 11) are already sold out. Numerous festivals are scheduled along the way. Calling at: Neighbourhood Weekender (May 27), Darwen Live (May 27-28), TRNSMT (July 7), Greenwich Royal Naval College (July 8 plus Kaiser Chiefs as special guests), The Mighty Boof (August 18-19), Victorious (August 25) and Shiiine (November 19)</p>
<p>After five years of inactivity within the band and the band reconvened, the three old friends came to a realisation of the fact of how much they have missed everything during their time as a band, the rush of the sight of an audience&#8217;s reaction to their performances, the thought of staying close together and a simple jam idea evolving into a song within a second.</p>
<p>Their connection gathered place in Granada Spain as they focused on new material with the Grammy Award winning producer, Youth (The Verve, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Charlatans). This resulted in their latest upcoming album, <em>Exorcism Of Youth</em> and it weaves natural-sounding sonic elements into their renowned rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll feel in the album. Their first new track in 8 years, <em>&#8220;Just Like&#8221;, </em>gained attention from Jo Whiley at Radio 2 and received a very positive reaction. This was also followed by being named Track of the Week at Amazing Radio. The return of The View continued to gain traction with the follow-up of their song in the album, <em>&#8220;Neon Lights&#8221;</em>.</p>

<p>Rina recently made her acting debut in John Wick: Chapter 4 as Akira. She spoke to NME for the <a href="https://www.nme.com/big-reads/rina-sawayama-cover-interview-2022-hold-the-girl-john-wick-3310634">Big Red cover story</a> last year about her role as Akira: <em>&#8220;My team are all just shook by the idea that we even got offered John Wick, so I think&#8230; none of us really know what&#8217;s going to happen. We&#8217;re just like, &#8216;What does happen to people in movies?'&#8221; </em></p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/film-reviews/john-wick-chapter-4-review-keanu-reeves-3418262">four-star review</a>, of the film, NME wrote: <em>&#8220;Chapter 4 doesn&#8217;t exude the wheel-spinning cynicism for a forever franchise. Stahelski may traffic in excess, but at least he understands it: how choreography, performance and style can make over-the-top spectacle cohere into pleasurably overwhelming action fizz, rather than congealing into a sweaty special effects overload. He also gets that after 169 minutes, some degree of closure is appreciated. There may well be a John Wick: Chapter 5, but Chapter 4 still feels like a movie giving its all.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>Rina spoke to <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/rina-sawayama-on-working-with-keanu-reeves-hollywood-rejection-and-forward-rolls-12844782">Sky News</a> about her acting debut, <em>&#8220;I actually have been doing self-tapes, when I&#8217;ve been sent a really great script and when I&#8217;ve got the time, and also when I have the energy because I hate doing them,&#8221; </em>she says. <em>&#8220;But I&#8217;ve been doing them for several years, and I&#8217;ve gotten quite close to getting several roles but I hadn&#8217;t landed anything.&#8221;<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>English electronic duo,  Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons from The Chemical Brothers finally make a comeback with their new single and album after two years after their last single, <em>&#8220;</em><em>The Darkness That You Fear&#8221; </em>and <em>&#8220;Work-Energy Principle.&#8221; </em> Their latest single, &#8220;<em>No Reason&#8221;</em>, was released on Friday 17 March. &#8220;<em>No Reason&#8221;</em> provides a texturized and inventive sound. It is a song built around funk, bass, vibrant percussion and overall, a danceable feel that the duo never fails to provide.</p>
<p>The music video for <em>&#8220;No Reason&#8221;</em> was directed by Smith &amp; Lyall and choreographed and performed by Gecko Theatre. The Chemical Brothers noted that this new single is a follow-up to their 2019 album, <em>No Geography. </em>Their 2019 album hit no. 3 on Dance/Electronic and won the Grammy for best dance/electronic album in 2020. In total, they have won seven Grammys in their nearly 3-decade long career, which launched with the 1995 release of their now classic album, <em>Exit Planet Dust. </em></p>
<p>Their new single has also been mastered in Dolby Atmos at Abbey Road Studios by Giles Martin who has been no stranger to helping out The Beatles remaster their back catalogue. The limited version of <em>&#8220;No Reason&#8221;</em> will be released on April 28, including a 12-inch red vinyl with a previously unreleased b-side track, <em>&#8220;All Of A Sudden.&#8221; </em></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The new single from The Chemical Brothers is available everywhere Friday! Listen / Watch &#39;No Reason&#39; at <a href="https://t.co/YJMzC7Ywfj">https://t.co/YJMzC7Ywfj</a> Video by <a href="https://twitter.com/smithandlyall?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@smithandlyall</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NewMusic?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NewMusic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/eddychemical?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@eddychemical</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheChemicalBrothers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TheChemicalBrothers</a> <a href="https://t.co/bZSt8ax0b1">pic.twitter.com/bZSt8ax0b1</a></p>
<p>&mdash; The Chemical Brothers (@ChemBros) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChemBros/status/1636578103693651968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 17, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>As The Chemical Brothers do not shy away from expressing their political opinions as demonstrated in two songs, <em>&#8220;Free Yourself&#8221; </em>and <em>&#8220;MAH&#8221;</em>  from their <em>No Geography </em>album that was explicitly about the Brexit crisis, but that was not the case for <em>&#8220;</em><em>No Reason&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers shared his thoughts on electronic music. <em>&#8220;Electronic music has always seen as a genre that&#8217;s divorced from reality or acts as an escape, but every day you come into the studio you&#8217;re informed by how you feel and what you have read in the papers,&#8221; </em>He told <a href="https://www.nme.com/big-reads/big-read-chemical-brothers-glastonbury-no-geography-interview-2511689">NME in 2019.</a> <em>&#8220;These things seep into what you do. It&#8217;s Why I love using samples and how you decide to use it to communicate, you can find a voice and lyrics that resonate no matter when they&#8217;re from.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The duo are both headed to perform at this year&#8217;s Coachella, Isle of Wight Festival and Wilderness Festival. Location-wise, they will be intertwined between Europe and the US. Their full 2023 live itinerary can be viewed <a href="https://www.thechemicalbrothers.com/live">here</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The acclaimed UK singer-songwriter and pop icon, Ellie Goulding has recently branched out into new musical territory. After a decade-long career writing and performing her own unique synth-pop brand, Goulding has begun moving further from the alt-pop era as her signature music style and now leaning further into classical music.</p>
<p>She <a href="https://www.music-news.com/news/UK/156728/Ellie-Goulding-writing-classical-album">told</a> The Sun newspaper, <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m always writing new music. I think my natural state is to always come up with ideas and I&#8217;ll get in the studio at some point. Since I wrote Higher Than Heaven a while ago during lockdown, I&#8217;m very ready to write new music. I&#8217;ve always wanted to compose music for films, so at the moment I&#8217;m focusing on more classical.&#8221;  </em></p>
<p>Goulding&#8217;s bold decision to explore a genre of music that is not quite common in today&#8217;s music industry, and a step away from the standard formula of &#8216;singer-songwriter &#8216;pop. She is determined to prove that her talent creativity and passion for writing and performing extend beyond the pop and electronic music that has become her mainstay.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">miracle by calvin harris &amp; ellie goulding.  <a href="https://t.co/K7lvUoQrDV">pic.twitter.com/K7lvUoQrDV</a></p>
<p>&mdash; songs that changed history (@iconiksongs) <a href="https://twitter.com/iconiksongs/status/1634281808576630794?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 10, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Goulding recently teamed up with Calvin Harris for the third time for their song, <em>&#8220;Miracle&#8221; </em>from her <em>Miracle </em>album. She admitted that the trance track came <em>&#8220;out of the blue&#8221;</em> but she almost missed the opportunity for a collaboration by playing it a bit &#8220;<em>too cool&#8221;.</em> She <a href="https://indieheads.net/ellie-gouldings-classical-symphony-singer-dishes-on-new-musical-direction-and-movie-scores/">explained</a><em>, &#8220;This one came slightly out of the blue. He said that he had the track and immediately thought of me for it. Calvin doesn&#8217;t like to mess around so he sent the song in the next message. I accidentally played it a bit too cool and didn&#8217;t reply for a few days so he thought I wasn&#8217;t into it.&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p>Goulding remains committed to creating a full album of original classical music. Her announcement of the project has been met with positive responses from fans and critics alike, which leaves her fans intrigued about her capability in creating her new sound.</p>
<p>She admitted that the creation of her classical album has been a rather difficult process than her other albums. The most difficult thing in her process was mastering elements or techniques of classical music which has been the biggest challenge she has taken on musically. Regardless of the big challenges, she nonetheless remains hopeful that the creation of her new album will be epic and beautiful.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sir Tom Jones, along with three prominent major artists: Nile Rogers, CHIC and Kaiser Chiefs are set to headline the highly anticipated concert at the new festival called Greenwich Summer Sounds, a celebration of the best music within the United Kingdom. This will take place between July 4-8. Along with special guest supporting acts and another headliner are to be revealed. In the meantime, tickets will go out on general sale on Monday 13 March at 10 am, which will be available <a href="https://www.greenwichsummersounds.com/">here</a>.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It’s time to soak up the soundwaves. Your summer plans have docked</p>
<p>Welsh legend Sir Tom Jones never fails to bring a crowd to their feet. He&#8217;s sold over 100 million albums worldwide and will perform hits from his vast back catalogue. Jones&#8217;s powerful baritone and commanding stage presence and iconic songwriting truly mark an unforgettable event.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Nile-Rodgers1.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-27681" src="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Nile-Rodgers1-600x600.jpeg" alt="Nile Rodgers" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Multi-Grammy Award-winning legendary producer Nile Rogers will perform at the Greenwich Summer Sounds before Sir Tom Jones will be the closing act. He is famed for his work as the frontman and producer of the funk/disco group CHIC, who will also perform at the festival. He is well known for producing big hits for artists including David Bowie, Madonna and many more. He is recognised as one of the most influential figures in contemporary music and will perform classics from his extensive discography.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/kaiser-chiefs-press-photo.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8421" src="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/kaiser-chiefs-press-photo-600x600.jpg" alt="kaiser chiefs press photo" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Next act to perform after Nile Rogers will be none other than Kaiser Chiefs. The five-piece band are quite known for their energetic live shows, wittiness, often political takes and lyricism, and have achieved 5 UK top 10 albums since their formation in 2002. With an extensive back catalogue, the Kaiser Chiefs will surely bring the house down with their powerhouse of a performance.</p>
<p>The festival will be run by IMG, who are behind The Big Festival, Hampton Court Palace Festival, Taste of London and Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. Matthew Mees, chief executive of Old Royal Naval College <a href="https://www.thisisdig.com/nile-rodgers-chic-to-play-greenwich-summer-sounds/">said</a>, <em>&#8220;We&#8217;re delighted to welcome such an incredible line-up of artists to perform at the Old Royal Naval College. It&#8217;s truly a magnificent venue for concertgoers to enjoy open-air music on a summer&#8217;s evening next to the river across London. Greenwich Summer Sounds is set to be a spectacular event in a beautiful and historic setting.&#8221;   </em></p>
<p>Nile Rogers, alongside CHIC, will be the opening act for the performance on July 4, and Sir Tom Jones will be the closing act on July 6. Kaiser Chiefs will take over on July 8. Greenwich Summer Sounds would be perfect for a Saturday night out. With three major artists as the highlight of the festival, this is one occasion that music lovers won&#8217;t want to miss.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canadian singer, Alice Glass announces the UK Leg of the Traumabond tour after completing the North American tour in the Fall of 2022. The upcoming UK tour will include 6 stops with performances in Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Brighton, London and Manchester this April and May.</p>
<p>This tour supports Glass&#8217; debut album, <em>PREY//IV. </em>Her music involves essences of noise-pop, jagged electro shapes, and rubbery rhythms bouncing under gleaming synths. Glass&#8217; personal mission under <em>PREY//IV</em> will be sharing her vital music with anyone with whom it will provide a necessary refuge.</p>
<p>Her debut album consists of singular and electrifying elements of raw emotion that are undeniably hers, which indicates a result of a life lived wielding the necessary sharp objects to survive the awakening of trauma and abuse. Producer and musician, Jupiter io and Glass collaborated together on all the song processes in the album. <em>I get messages from people all the time about what&#8217;s happened to me, and there&#8217;s always this cliché of the victim overcoming and becoming the survivor. It&#8217;s one-dimensional. Idealistic endings don&#8217;t represent reality. There are lots of different ways that people live their lives, and mine is one of them.&#8221; </em>Glass concludes.</p>
<p>During the time between Glass&#8217; self-titled 2017 EP and <em>PREY//IV</em>, the singer dedicated her time to the continuation of the healing process following the abusive treatment that was forced upon her and survived as one-half of Crystal Castles, a now-defunct electro-punk group. Glass was best known as lead singer in the band. The release of her self-titled album showcased her sharp, often political lyrics and her intense industrial-inspired sound.</p>
<p>Upon those four years of developing the concept of <em>PREY//IV</em>, Glass and her partner Jupiter io worked on writing and recording the album from their basement. The album title itself, not only describes Glass&#8217; own personal experiences but the constant issues women statistically face in society on a regular basis. Her song in the album, <em>&#8220;Baby Teeth&#8221; </em>addresses turning the abuse and violence based on one&#8217;s inward experience. Her main purpose for this album provides and encourages healing to those who relate to her experience.</p>
<p><a href="https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/alice-glass-preyiv/">Pitchfork</a> describes the movement of her sound with the interaction of the dancefloor in <em>&#8220;Baby Teeth,&#8221; </em>evoking the <em>&#8220;dark thump&#8221; </em>of Lady Gaga&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Poker Face&#8221; </em>and <em>&#8220;Pinned Beneath Limbs&#8221;</em> giving a SOPHIE-esque deep cut via the industrial punk&#8217;s tremor of a Posh Isolation record.</p>
