Glasgow art-rock three-piece F.O. Machete presents their debut album, Blaze of Flashes. This stuff can rip your face off at 50 meters but has a hook your mum might sing along to. You want cynical and vicious yet at the same time infectiously bouncy, upbeat lyrics? Get this record. What if Bjork and P.J. Harvey had a daughter? This record shows what would have happened. And there are songs about Richard Pryor. How cool does this sound? Australian front woman Natasha was formerly in Domino Records' post-rock favourites, Ganger, and was also the cover star of the last Belle & Sebastian album.
