Every week seems to bring a new Edmund Xavier-related delight to the doorstep of your 20jazzfunkgreats ludicrous cult. After sniping across the ruins of a sonic Stalingrad with Teenage Panzerkorps, chasing Hostage Sex until the Gates of Heaven and tuning to FWY’s post-mutant-apocalypse radio show, we turn to the melange of cold wave turbulence and metronomic aspiration which is Horrid Red’s Pink Flowers EP.

Foehn Winds surges across still landscapes like a gang of existential cyborgs revelling on the cadence of their own suicide mission, the bass buzz of bike engines grafted into flesh tattooed with Peter Saville iconography makes flowers wilt, as they drive past the ghastly spot where the Youth of America crashed against the pitiless barricades of reality.

Horrid Red – Foehn Winds

Pink Flowers will be out soon in Soft Abuse. Dig the video from the title track.

Borghesia have been our favourite East European body funk warlords ever since Ben Atkins first told us about them in a bunker deep under Hamburg streets, fleeing the onslaught of a deathdrone swarm. We celebrate with the laser-focussed enthusiasm of the debauched the reissue of their debut LP Ljubav Je Hladnija Od Smrti by the excellent people at Dark Entries.

The trebly perv-boogie jewel which is ‘On’ comes across like the theme tune for Knightrider if Michael was into proper cruising. Ruthless electrobeat grammar dashed with lurid synth flourishes and mutant bass punctuation, black ink splatters out of the stereo most unhinged like ectoplasmic effusions of the sexual samizdat.

Borghesia-On

Go get. And here you have the video.
