SCOTTIBRAINS ARISTORATS
During some much-needed down time from his hectic studio schedule, producer extraordinaire and face-melting axe wielder Dan Carey has whipped up a new Scottibrains release with his best friends/bandmates. Starting off as a crunchy melancholy-steeped jam, 'Aristorats' continually builds in momentum before descending into an inevitable krautrock wig-out at 3 minutes 30. Accompanied by a suitably socially-distanced video, drummer Liam shows off his bog roll stash as he plays the pots and pans, whilst bass player Oli cools it in the bath with a glass of wine. With signs of cabin fever setting in for the other two, vocalist/screamer Beth gets creative with a red tulle chrysalis whilst Dan hosts a studio rave for one. As much as 'Aristorats' makes us want to head to the Brixton Windmilll and down shots of tequila to the foursome's incredible live show, this ferocious mix by Dan's youngest, 15-year-old Orla Carey, is easily the next best thing. -Holly Mullineaux
