Electric Light Bulb Lies


Image taken from Christiana & Tim's diaries.

Factory Kids are a pair of Glaswegians who formed in 2008. After a couple of low-key releases on small indie labels, they've just released their debut LP on the New Zealand based label Power Tool Records. The exclusive track they've sent over to us speaks volumes about the rest of the LP it is taken from; seamlessly blending The Vaselines guitar fuzz with Jesus & Mary Chain style drone to create a kind of depressive surf-pop. Glorious stuff that shows it's softer side on tracks such as She Said, an echo-ridden joy infused with deliciously airy vocals.

The pair have just let loose a fantastic little mixtape which you can download below, perfectly showcasing the different influences they meld together in their own material. Tracklisting here and cover here.
