WEIRD ERA

Taking your name from one of the most influential and repeated albums of the Pitchfork generation is one thing, but living up to it is another altogether. Weird Era are rarely a band to do things the easy way, though. They released two acclaimed, lo-fi albums before even playing a gig and, with promoters and labels banging on the door, spent 6 months making another before they finally stepped into the light – playing an unpromoted basement show to an enraptured, sweaty mass of bodies to mark their live debut. It’s no coincidence that the knocking has only got louder since, with the band still joyfully uncompromising in their selectivity.

The obvious will grope at Deerhunter in search of comparison, but the trio’s noise has never quite been so straightforward; this is shoegaze but brutal, noise-rock without the pretence, or something equally vague. There are guitars, but if there’s ever been a band to reassure you that Manchester doesn’t have to become the Oasis museum it has been threatening to turn into, this is it – guitars used to extend the sonic boundaries rather than reinforce them. In short, it’s a sea of noise that is best you wade into yourself – moody, unrelenting and almost unfathomably astute.
