Kagoule have re-emerged with a powerful comeback single in the form of 'Monsieur Automaton', out now on Ra-Ra-Rok Records. It's the first track to come from the Nottingham trio this year and is drenched in their typical, brilliantly jarring and gently unnerving alt. rock hue, bolstered by work with Matt Johnson of genre flag-bearers Hookworms. Of the cut, guitarist/singer Cai Burns explains, "Not sure what inspired this one. I wrote most of it whilst i was watching Terminator 2, could've been that. It was probably that. In fact, it was definitely inspired by Terminator 2. Terminator 2 kicks ass. The song came together within minutes, you shoulda seen it, it was a magical event. Usually we play a riff for about 12 seconds and then bail into some kind 'The Kinks after 12 pints' jam or something that sounds a bit like a buffering video." 'Monsieur Automaton' comes alongside news of a headline tour this November. -G.O'B
