Self-Immolation Music runs the gauntlet of dreamlike pulsing basslines, nightmarish synthscapes and acid soaked guitar licks all filtered through a punk lens. ‘Infinity Trip’ marks the start of a new era for Self-Immolation Music. After three years of experimenting with a completely new sound palette, they emerge with a cohesive and unique take on psychedelia through a punk lens. There are nods to the quintessential psychedelic bands that inspired them (Spacemen 3, Hawkwind, The 13th Floor Elevators) but we get something raw and heavier than you might expect.

Dawn Terry - a veteran drone artist producing large scale minimalist landscapes characterised by an austere openness, with looped accordion drones barely punctured by hypnotic drumming, slowly intoned vocals and spoken word passages.
Contentment - new scum rock band. The same riff over and over. All the right influences with a 90s/sludge twist.
