Get ready for a sonic adventure with Oral Habit, a Brighton-based trio that's turning heads with their unique brand of psychedelia. But is it truly groundbreaking, or just another drop in the ocean of modern rock?
Hailing from a city known for its psych festivals and acid-inspired bands, Oral Habit stands out with their 'ear-rattling psychic dream' sound. Imagine a fusion of the raw energy of mid-60s freakbeat and the contemporary chaos of 2025's unsettling atmosphere. Their recent EP, 'Garage Frock!', showcases this with a wild blend of distorted guitars, drenched vocals, and feedback-laden solos. It's as if they've cranked every dial to 11, creating an overwhelming yet captivating experience.
But Oral Habit isn't the only act making waves. This week's top tracks feature a diverse range of artists:
- Bill Callahan's 'The Man I'm Supposed to Be' is a powerful introspection, a savage yet playful exploration of self-doubt.
- Robyn's 'Dopamine' hides emotional complexities beneath its neon-lit, dance-inducing sound.
- Ms Banks' '4C' celebrates her Afro hair, symbolizing freedom from constraints.
- Mandy, Indiana's 'Magazine' is a raw, techno-infused scream for justice.
- Poppy's 'Bruised Sky' surprises with a metalcore twist beneath a dreamy chorus.
- Bleech 9:3's 'Jacky' brings a spirited chorus amidst a guitar-driven storm.
- Tony Bontana's 'Battered Chips' is a laid-back lo-fi celebration of life.
