Hull's finest outfit Fila Brazillia, formed in 1990 by Steve Cobby and David McSherry, have a new e.p. out, five new songs recorded and released after a sixteen year hiatus. As chance would have it (and I'm blogging very much on the fly this week) the second track fits in very nicely with Monday's and Tuesday's tracks (Monday- Manika Kaur dubbed out by Youth. Tuesday- Daniel Avery and Alessandro Cortini). It's a sort of making a blogtape. This is Midnight Friends, a haze of shimmering chords, echo- laden piano or organ, repeating melodies and riffs, building and falling away for a good seven and a half minutes, some ambient sounds and bass part coming and going, tickling the nape of your neck.
The other four songs on Fila's MMXX are worth splashing out for too, there's some jazzy future funk and the spacey electronic dance of The Silver Scale is a wonderful piece of music.
