We’re delighted to be working with Index for Working Musik for the first time!

Index for Working Musik emerged from the depths of an East End bunker in 2023 with Dragging the Needlework for the Kids at Uphole (Tough Love), a ‘Heroin Country’ affair, followed by the experimental Indexe’e.

2024 saw the release of Purple Born, an eight-minute track that channels the likes of John Fahey and Polvo  – leather boys, leather girls and silly cuckoo clocks – and serves as the first signal of the future to come in 2025.

‘Their sound brings to mind John Cale’s drone effects on the early VU albums and the pink noise of the Jesus and Mary Chain‘ – Louder than War
