HAPPY MEALS
Do you remember where you were when you first heard Happy Meals? Hopefully locked in an embrace, metaphorical or otherwise, with something or someone you love. Suzanne Rodden and Lewis Cook came into the world as Happy Meals in late 2014 as the leaves turned brown, a cascade of loving sunshine and acid-fried Italo-pop by way of Glasgow, but since then have travelled the globe, picked up a top ten finish in the Scottish Album Of The Year Award and most importantly worked on new emissions. Fruit Juice is the first new crop to drop from the duo and documents the wonderful state their craft is in at the moment: more searching, more psychedelic, more pop, just more. Happy Meals will be presiding over the brightest, most ecstatic love-in of the summer.
THE MODERN INSTITUTE
A renegade trio birthed by the feverish, warped hive mind of some of Glasgow’s most celebrated underground electronic artists, The Modern Institute exist to expand. A minimal/maximal proposition, their music is a submerged, clicky electronic pulse, Autchre covered by Suicide, a subterranean alien landscape pulsating with menace and malcontent. Sub-bass swoops in, a maniacal vocal pervades like Genesis P-Orridge never discovered love; live, The Modern Institute are simply one of the most exciting performers in the UK. Expect the unexpected, the expandable and imploded.
PENTECOSTAL PARTY
Debut Scottish show from Newcastle-based, Paisley-born artist Dawn Bothwell. Pentecostal Party is process as revelation, a blow-by-blow construction of a pop music that is direct and looped into your psyche. Live, Bothwell uses sample-based electronics and synth interjections for a stripped down and emotive Synth Wave backbone but the lightning rod is Bothwell’s vocal; a tentative voice that seems to strain at the leash until exploding into a soulful force recalling Meghan Remy (U.S. Girls). Disarming and winning.
