White Lodge - Swung

Out this week on the ever excellent World Unknown label is a double A sided (or W/U sided) release featuring tracks by Black Merlin and White Lodge. The creation of one Chris Bauer, Swung cruises along with sharp hi hats,claps and snare rolls dragging you in to a pulsating rhythm before you know where you are or where you were at. This sits perfectly among the current wave of chuggy musical stylings that are becoming prominent at the moment,so much so Piccadilly Records created a new sub section in store called "A Love From Outer Space" to accommodate such sounds.

I think of this sound as the darker side of Balearic and can be heard  at an ever expanding number of nights across the country,I have yet to attend a World Unknown night in London yet but hope to do so this year. Worth seeking out it is a vinyl only release and limited quantities ensure it will be gone quickly,so be sure to pick up a copy whilst you can.
