Lerryn has also announced an EP launch at London's The Ivy House on 19th September - tickets: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lerryns-ep-launch-as-a-mother-tickets-995257099777

She says of the new single: "A song about a holiday in France. I took the melody to the studio and told the band to imagine the sun was shining and that they had just lit a cigarette and were sat on some hot concrete..
When I sing it I think about how starting a family expands your capacity for love, and what a courageous act that can be."

Having been a stalwart of the South East London creative scene for over a decade, the As A Mother EP is the first offering from the next chapter of Lerryn's own life, and the debut release under her own name. It is a record written during her experience of pregnancy, motherhood and a period of profound creative reckoning.

Preorder the EP now digitally and on tangerine peel cassette via our Bandcamp:
https://redundantspan.bandcamp.com/album/as-a-mother

You don’t need to be a mother, or even a parent, to understand the love that glows from Lerryn’s songs. They speak to anyone who has ever felt immense compassion, to anyone whose world has been upended from lightness, to anyone that’s felt hope in their hearts.

We’re so excited to announce the release of As A Mother - the debut EP from South East London musician and artist, Lerryn, due 13th September on tangerine peel cassette and digitally: https://lerryn.ffm.to/asamotherep

Lerryn has been a stalwart of the South East London creative scene for over a decade. The founder of cult creative space Lerryn’s Cafe and later frontwoman of post-punk band Dead Arm, her impact on a DIY scene that has defined a corner of London has been significant.

As A Mother is the first offering from the next chapter of Lerryn’s own life, and the debut release under her own name. It is a record written during her experience of pregnancy, motherhood and a period of profound creative reckoning, though the themes present in As A Mother go far beyond motherhood, and are universal. Love. Comfort. Newness. Happiness. Feeling lost. Feeling at home. Feeling loved. Confusion. Self-belief. The passing of time. The inevitability of change.

Today, Lerryn shares the EP's title track, featuring Naima Bock - listen here: https://lerryn.ffm.to/asamother

Dearthworms’ debut album Sapsucker is out TODAY!

A ferocious yet considered blend of jagged noise, wonk-rock, and experimental post-punk, Sapsucker dives head first into a parallel universe populated by snivelling, pathetic men, tales of eroticism and B**M, ruminations on death, and even a giant worm rooted in North-East folklore.

Out now digitally and on vinyl worldwide: https://dearthworms.ffm.to/sapsucker

+++++

Early praise for the record.....

“You’ll find Eddie Argos’s absurdist yelp and Parquet Courts’ inscrutable wit in the third single by this new Sheffield guitar band, which slips between frenzy and playfulness.” - The Guardian

“The bizarre and wonderful world of Dearthworms unfurls in spectacular fashion through their debut album Sapsucker… a spectral void of jagged noise, discordant rhythms and ferocious intensity all of which blend into a magnificent piece of art which needs your attention.” - Louder Than War, Album of the Week

“The swagger of The Fall and experimental post-punk infuse the surreal lyrics to shapeshift from oddball pop to off-kilter rock” - NARC Magazine, ⅘

“Please welcome one of South Yorkshire’s finest, Sheffield’s very own musical answer to David Lynch. Their name is Dearthworms and just like the Twin Peaks director they trade in a similar currency of surrealism, strangeness, and freakish charm.” - God Is In The TV Zine.

“Strike Low’ showcases the brilliant balance between Nick Potter’s raw vocals and [Juni] Rothwell’s more dynamic voice. If you’re a fan of bands such as Squid and Shame, make sure you check out their new album Sapsucker” - Now Then

“If David Firth, Protomartyr and David Lynch started a band, it would probably sound a lot like Sapsucker.” - Far Out Magazine

"This is a group of friends making music for the sheer joy of it, and it’s all the more intriguing and compelling as a result.” - For The Rabbits

“A rad ripper” - Austin Town Hall

Stereogum - Sapsucker featured on Albums of Note

ALL HAIL THE WORM! We’re very excited to announce Dearthworms’ debut album, Sapsucker, due 26th July & marking our first vinyl release!

Sapsucker is a ferocious yet considered blend of jagged noise, wonk-rock, and a touch of experimental post-punk; an altogether different beast from band members' past and current projects inc. Blood Sport, Amorous Dialogues, Knorke and Stray Bullet.

Leading the charge is new single “Strike Low”, a song written from the perspective of a male praying mantis before it shifts into human narration, which comes complete with a video premiering on God Is In The TV Zine: https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2024/04/30/exclusive-dearthworms-strike-low-video-premiere-and-debut-album-announcement/

Say the band, “We felt like the best way to present our ho****st song was with chaotic live footage and abstract violence. We cannot confirm who or what was under the spade.”

Sapsucker will be released on vinyl and digital download, preorder on our Bandcamp: https://dearthworms.ffm.to/sapsucker

Live Dates:
11th May – Big Hands, Manchester w/ Dreamwave
19th May - Hatch, Sheffield
19th July - Delicious Clam, Sheffield
26th July - Shakespeare's, Sheffield
27th July - Jabberwocky, Sheffield

More high praise from The Quietus for Emergence Collective's Fly Tower...

https://thequietus.com/articles/33221-babau-bienoise-emergence-collective-julek-ploski-ayami-suzuki-not-not-fun-cassette

"Their music echoes The Necks in terms of pace and elegance. Though working in more undulating and fluid forms than the Australian trio, Emergence Collective’s swirls and eddies are equally unhurried, meandering into the air on their own time."

28/07/2023

Emergence Collective's Fly Tower gets The Quietus stamp of approval!

“Dislodged from time, fragments of older and folkier traditions seep into contemporary ones in their compositions with seamless grace, ornate patterns ambling through the reverberant space they're enclosed in.”

We’re really excited to announce our first release! Introducing Shangri-Lass - the solo project of Sheffield-based musician and Sister Wives bassist, Rose Love.

Shangri-Lass makes a striking entrance with her debut ‘Over & Over’ EP, an off-kilter, 60’s girl-group inspired synth pop record with a brooding punk underbelly.

The EP will be released 28th April, preorder on our Bandcamp: https://redundantspan.bandcamp.com/album/over-over

Along with the announcement, Shangri-Lass unveils lead single “Parallel”, premiering on It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine. This dark, psych-pop tune is a homage to the saddest, baddest 60’s girl groups; the lyrics’ hopeful yet ultimately doomed yearning is a perfect match for the trippy dream pop surrounding them. Imagine The Shirelles if they’d grown up in West Yorkshire.
