ANOTHER; COUNTRY $$$$ TETHER
After what feels like way too long (11 months to be exact), Manchester experimentalists ANOTHER; COUNTRY $$$$ surface with their high-energy sophomore single 'TETHER'. Easing listeners back in to their magpie-like approach, there's plenty of depth and nuance to unpack as emotive strings and ambient guitars find space between high-pitched samples, rapid electronic beats and an unruly synth bass line. Hurtling along after a tasteful introduction, 'TETHER' manages to fuse hyper-pop and gut-wrenching classical compositions in the time it takes a standard pop song to play out. Grappling with a palpable sense of disconnection, 'TETHER' "is about that feeling of becoming distant from your own reality- like losing your sense of control, being swept away by everything happening around you." Watch and listen to it here ahead of their upcoming live shows at Pitchfork Festival London and with revered techno-punks SCALER. -Holly Mullineaux
