Jennifer Touch Releases 'Attic'

Dresden born and Berlin bred Jennifer Touch is equally at home on and off the dancefloor. Her highly anticipated debut album Behind The Wall’s wave-kissed dreariness drips with cold sensuality is both vibrant and brooding. Showcasing her unique sound in the saturated world of electronica, Touch successfully draws from electropop and disco influences, combining ‘80s vintage synths with industrial soundscapes, delivered with a visceral post-punk snarl.

’Attic’ is a politically driven track about the processing of memories and observations made from Touch's upbringing in East Germany. Her music strongly relates to the social climate of that time, or at least what is left of it when filtered through a young and naïve mind.

She had this to say on it: "My parents had one or two parties together with the families in our house, up in the attic. It was a place where they had space and could sing all their favourite krautrock-songs and all the kids felt happy and free. I have dreams about it, my 6-years-old brain taking pictures of the scene, everyone dancing. My parents were GDR-Flowerpower-childs, forced to live in a very repressive society, behind this wall.  The song just came out of me and whilst writing it I realised why I make music and where it comes from. It comes from my childhood in East Germany. It comes from that attic.”

 

 

Peter And The Test Tube Babies Are Screwed Down

UK punk legends Peter And The Test Tube Babies are back with their latest album Fuctifano, which is out now via Arising Empire. Fourteen stories about love, revenge, violence, parenthood, health, the black economy, home improvement, social media addiction and of course drinking.

In 1978, seventeen year old punk rockers Peter Bywaters and Del Strangefish decided to form a punk band and Peter And The Test Tube Babies are born. After a couple of rehearsals, they made their first recording ‘Elvis Is Dead’, which appeared on the Vaultage ‘78 compilation of Brighton new wave bands. Radio 1 DJ John Peel loved the song instantly and offered the band a live session. The success was breathtaking and Peter And The Test Tube Babies became one of the hottest unsigned bands in the UK overnight.

In 2018 Peter And The Test Tube Babies signed with Arising Empire Records recruiting Nick Abnett and Sam Fuller on bass and drums respectively resulting in their now critically-acclaimed album That Shallot which went on to receive 4 and 5 Star reviews worldwide.
