Lol Hammond, formerly of Spiral Tribe and The Drum Club, has a band with Karen Frost and Stefan Gordon called Are We Superheroes? that sounds nothing like either of those two. Fast Forward came out in September and is a short blast of rattling, uptempo, fuzzy, guitar music, partly coming from post punk, partly from early 90s shoegaze/ indie, partly from mid period Mary Chain, partly from the guitar sounds of the 00s of groups like LCD Soundsystem and the post first album Horrors. They do a good line in melodic alienation and future shock.
Duncan Forbes, collaborator with Lol on an overlooked 2020 ambient/ drone/ psyche album titled Who Will Stop The Robots?, has done a remix, stripping away the chug and loading it with some frantic, propulsive drums instead.
Interesting.......
