SINGAPORE SLING – ” Good Sick Fun “

Reykjavík maverick Henrik Björnsson is due to release ‘Good Sick Fun’, his eleventh album under the Singapore Sling project, on September 25th via Fuzz Club Records Inspired by goth-rock, dub and big-band jazz on top of the usual fuzzed-out rock’n’roll touchstones that are seared into Henrik’s work, the latest Singapore Sling full-length is as perversely hedonistic as they come – and that’s not without competition by any means.

An invitation to “rejoice in doing wrong”, in Henrik’s own words, ‘Good Sick Fun’ is the latest morbid and characteristically-depraved addition to a back-catalogue spanning nearly two decades from the cult Icelandic band. Arriving off the back of the 2019 ‘Killer Classics’ LP, Henrik says of the new album: “Old rock´n´roll is the main influence on this record, as on most of my records. When I release a record it means rock´n´roll has saved my life, my mind and my soul once again. And it does that quite frequently. Sometimes I start running astray, getting sucked into pointless garbage and thinking it actually matters. Then I realize that it´s absolute garbage and that nothing matters but rock´n´roll so I go and make a record instead.”

Fuzz Club exclusive vinyl limited to 200 numbered copies on clear 180g vinyl (inc. Bandcamp download card).

Fuzz Club members will receive the exclusive vinyl as part of the September membership package. Standard vinyl limited to 300 copies on 180g black vinyl

The Third Sound is the solo project of Icelandic singer-songwriter Hákon Aðalsteinsson, formerly of Singapore Sling and currently touring in Brian Jonestown Massacre. Now residing in Berlin with a fleshed-out live line-up, The Third Sound are gearing up for the release of their fourth album ‘All Tomorrow’s Shadows’ – arriving via Fuzz Club Records on May 11th. Recorded by the band themselves over the harsh Berlin winter, the new record is their most refined yet – offering an expansive exploration into krautrock-tainted post-punk and dark psychedelia.

Following on from their 2016 LP ‘Gospels of Degeneration’, the new album takes a much more sparse and rhythmic approach than we’ve seen before, combining hypnotic guitar drones, motorik rhythms and haunting vocals – the last track boasting a guest feature from Anton Newcombe, who released the band’s debut album on his own imprint A Recordings.

SINGAPORE SLING – ” All Your Sins “

As the prime force behind Iceland’s Singapore Sling, Henrik Björnsson has created some of the most compelling psych rock of the past 15 years. With his creativity just as reliable as it is relentless and boundless, Björnsson has consistently made music that revolves around, as he puts it, his “love of the rock & roll of the past, and hatred for the majority of music around him.”

It’s this combination of love and hate that defines Singapore Sling’s triumphant 2014 album, “The Tower of Foroncity”. The album bathes you in musical references to The Jesus and Mary Chain, Suicide, late 50s’ and early 60s’ rock & roll, country music…the list is seemingly endless. And, in doing so, it offers you a listening experience unlike anything you’ve had before.

Not only is Foroncity one of the best albums of last year, but its strange genre amalgamations are the stuff of pure psychedelia in its original Greek definition of “mind-revealing” – challenging you to rethink what you thought you knew about genre and imagination. Indeed, Björnsson wants to challenge you, entertain you, and give you a true psychedelic experience – and Singapore Sling accomplish this to no end.
