AURAL SECTS

We reckons you must have been living in a box (or let’s say coffin...lulz guys...ya get me?) for the last few years to not have heard of Tri-Angle and Disaro Records...or at least some of their acts. The rise of the likes of SALEM, oOoOO and Witch House (can it not go back to being called drag?) has pushed those skewed, slowed down, eerie hip hop vibes well into the spotlight/ghostly candlelight (enough now pleez..)

But it’s also seemed to be primarily a US kinda thing up to now...so it’s nice to discover this new (?) label AURAL SECTS who apparently hail all the way from sunny Wigan, just round the corner from our native Manchester. They describe themselves as ‘A dark electronic/experimental/Witch Haus musical collective and netlabel’ which sounds mad cool to us. From a look on their bandcamp its clear that they’ve been busy too...with already tons of bands signed up. Whether any of these acts will progress from what we suspect is still bedroom-producer-mode remains to be seen however but for now the whole thang def worth a check out y’all.....and all are free downloads......which is cool by us. Here’s a sample of some of our faves:

And props to me for managing to write this without the usual blogger-ease cliché of mentioning hard to pronounce band names/use of symbols......wah......nearly
