PERCOLATOR - Sesta (Sealed) (LP)

Dublin-based Percolator are Ian, Spud and Ellie who together play rock and roll music that is noisy but always melodic, occasionally abrasive but rarely harsh. Taking some cues from bands such as Neu! and Stereolab and the Creation/ Cheree/ Slumberland/ Sarah Records stables their music comprises of propulsive rhythms and gauzy synthetic textures, along with guitar work that is both muscular and delicate. Its subtle, detail-oriented production along with the use of much of their own custom-built equipment faithfully captures the gnarled beauty of their idiosyncratic vision.
