Recently signed to tastemakers AD 93 (Martha Skye Murphy, Moin, Coby Sey et al), Bristol-formed experimental oddballs LICE make an explosive return with 'Red Fibres'. Marking their third album campaign, the substantial offering introduces concepts and characters explored across Third Time at the Beach. They explain: “This song is about realising you’ve reached adulthood with a blinkered understanding of the world, and feeling confused and frustrated. After visiting some key moments in the history of language, science and the human eye, we arrive at a campsite: where two shipwreck survivors are about to have a fight.” Applying aspects of minimalism, post-punk, math rock and techno with whiplash intensity, it's a real journey of a track, and one that's certain to hit even harder live. Third Time at the Beach will be released on the 20th of September. -Holly Mullineaux
