The Police Box: The Police Box 18
10 works of art, many currently exclusive to Ten Tracks, journeying from bands through cross-over to fully electronic. Enjoy the ride, fresh people!
Light Through Rubble
John Knox Sex Club
The final song on searing debut album Blood Rins Cauld kicks off a fast building compilation of indie and electronic treats. Two distinct halves to this one creating a sense of division, united only by an overarching sense of its yearning by-product.
No Trophy
Gdansk
Here, a pleasing blend of indie-disco-noise-scapes and some sincere lyrics bridge the gap between up-beat and soul-seeking in the 18th Police Box compilation.
We Can Be Twins (live)
Foxgang
A superb new departure for the gang, with a Rapture-esque outro synth line that will guarantee you to be unable to stay still. This impeccable live recording precedes a forthcoming album by the band, to be released by Ten Tracks - stay tuned.
Allons a la Piscine
Francois And The Atlas Mountains
This charming sketch shows Francois edging closer to the dance-folk that he and band (including fellow Fence artist Rozi Plain) exhibited with a staggering headline set at the first Doune The Rabbit Hole festival, June 2010.
Ali, The Pig Opera & The Helicopter
Lady North
Math dance pop with trumpets and Yellow Submarine sections, indeed...?
You Can't Go Easy When You're Making Trees
Comma
This, the flagship track from their debut self-produced and packaged EP, displays polyrhythmic ingenuity beyond Comma's years. Art students, don't you know...
Japanese Flag
LOGIKPARTY
Swinging between nonchalant bass to urgent guitars is a good way to showcase a hi-energy, anarchic voice: shades of Divorce and Comanechi coming at you from Dublin.
Soggy Biscuit
Enfant Bastard
Simple electronics inexplicably combine sinisterness and nostalgia to euphoric effect – another brilliant exclusive! Appears on The Bowery Compilation, and re-released on Police Box 18 to celebrate the launch of his EP (out on SL Records, October 2010)
The Big M
GRNR
Sublime meta-genre electronic loops, rhythmic musings and sonic experiments, giving birth to epic/nostalgic synthy motifs. A breath of fresh, warm digital air in the background - yet danceable when you push volume up. Which one finds oneself doing.
