COURTING - Guitar Music LP

Highly recommended.

Black Midi. Squid. Black Country, New Road. Shame. Yard Act. Dry Cleaning. If none of these bands ring a bell (I know they do, you are following Strangeworld after all), it might be time to dive into the world of post-Brexit British post-punk.

Affectionately known as the “Windmill Scene” by its fans, this rapidly growing genre has been increasing in popularity and momentum for the past three years. Even though all these bands are coming out of the same area and have similar approaches, they differ vastly from each other.

With their debut album “Guitar Music,” Courting is the newest addition to the growing roster of eccentric, speak-singing, musically complex bands in the Windmill Scene. Influences from their contemporaries are easily traced, but the band refuses to be completely backed into that corner.
