LIST PICK

METHYL ETHEL UBU

Ahead of the release of their forthcoming album Everything Is Forgotten, due 3 March via 4AD, Methyl Ethel have revealed new single 'Ubu'. The Australian trio - songwriting front-man Jake Webb plus bassist Thom Stewart, drummer Chris Wright and Hamish Rahn on keys and guitar - continue to deliver their immaculate brand of psych-leaning indie rock that nods to the likes of Gengahr and fellow-Aussie pace-setters Tame Impala. Inspired by Alfred Jarre's surrealist play Ubu Roi, and recorded by acclaimed UK producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Foals), this attention-grabbing cut comes alongside confirmation of their extensive 2017 tour. -G.O'B
