SODDEN PELT HONEY FOR A DOCTOR

Consisting of members of fellow TMR tips Boil King, London-based band Sodden Pelt create what they refer to as “Bog trawl-folk and fever drone lullabies.” Released via Hideous Mink Records, 'Honey For A Doctor' is the idiosyncratic first taste of their forthcoming EP. Something of a cowboy tune with a distinctly British twang, the ramshackled offering makes quite the impression. Squeezing dirty guitars, percussive beats, frantic strings and unhinged vocals into a truly cinematic 2 minutes, the band say of the single: "A downward glance, sod’s law moment of noticing that you’re still attached to a slapped and fleeing horse. ‘Honey for A Doctor’ is a period of realisation that before you, lies an ever-growing Hieronymous sketch of rats and scoundrels. It is a decision to throw in the towel and burn your own house down before they come knocking. This, to many, would be the ultimate act of protest." Watch this space for more from the weird and wonderful Sodden Pelt. -Holly Mullineaux
