Out July 22nd, 2022 this marks the band's first release through Flightless Records. Lavish with opulence and dripping in surrealism, ‘With Gusto’ is a vivid labyrinth of intricate and intersecting worlds, a pastiche of poignant ideas and concepts held together by a taut but jagged thread. Songs that strike with tenderness, and resonate reward through deeper inspection. Taking melodic cues from avant-pop experimentalists Stereolab, with the rhythmic and left field stylings of Krautrock renegades Faust, Eggy fuse these together to forge a sound that is at once fascinating and disconcerting.. As any imaginative odyssey should be. It's got saxophone, strings, sandpaper, synths, carpet, piano, samples, feedback, surrealism and synergy. Pure EGGY.

Up next from Mood Hut we have the debut LP from Local Artist aka Ian Wyatt. Previously known for his underground party starters Dancer and Touch Tone. This time Ian takes us further towards the intimate end of the radio dial, recording music as a way of processing the emotions of watching his father and partner battle cancer pre-pandemic. Themes of love, loss and life emerge in a moody brew to help you through. In Local Artist’s world, the sun is setting on our old selves. Tonight is a slow ritual of letting go to gradually make room for the new. We’ve been up all night. It’s almost dawn and beyond the horizon, we can trust the light that morning brings.

Breaking a decade of omertà, The Mars Volta reawaken from their lengthy hiatus with an eponymous album that radically reshapes their paradigm. The 2022 album shakes loose some of The Mars Volta's long-standing shibboleths, fearlessly defying all expectations and categorizations. Instead, The Mars Volta pulses with subtle brilliance, Caribbean rhythms underpinning sophisticated, turbulent songcraft. This is The Mars Volta at their most mature, most concise, most focused. Their sound and fury channeled to greatest effect, The Mars Volta finds guitarist/composer Omar Rodríguez-López's subterranean pop melodies driving singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala's dark sci-fi tales of the occult and malevolent governments. Distilling all the passion, poetry, and power at their fingertips, The Mars Volta is the most exciting and accessible music the group has ever recorded.
