Self-professed "woodland agitators" Snapped Ankles' latest release is well deserving of the not inconsiderable amount of airplay it's been receiving of late on 6Music. With its propulsive beats and distorted vocals Rechargeable is a strobe-inducing belter of a track; imagine James Murphy and Lene Lovich fighting over the controls of a jet-speeder as it races across the alkali flats towards an army of Secret Machines commanded by Mark E Smith, that's the movie that plays in my brain each time I hear it.
It's not just me, surely?
Is it?
It is, isn't it?
Oh well.
Regardless, if like me you want to experience their shamanistic stage antics first-hand then there's good news ahoy; the East London outfit will be bringing their brand of "agricultural Kraftwerk" to Portsmouth when they play Psych Fest 2019 on Saturday 4th May (for which tickets, though limited, are still available).
