This week we have Tristwch y Fenywod in town on Wednesday! Joined by electronic artist Anna Peaker too - the evening at St Matthias looks set to be a memorable night of mystical cadence and experimental gloom. Tickets available here: link.dice.fm/Aec543e61aa5 UTR x @nightschoolrecords.bsky.social

Here we go! EarthBall’s goliath slamdunk of an album is released today! ‘Outside Over There’ is a phantasmagoria of improvised psychosis, as heavy as a juggernaut, as divine as a tarot hand.

EarthBall kick off their European tour today in Amsterdam, taking in Le Guess Who, Metz, Strasbourg, Geneva, Lyon, Torino, Bescia, Lausanne and Paris!

Canadian psych-bruisers EarthBall return today with their convulsive new single ‘Helsinki’. Bearing down like a juggernaut, ‘Helsinki’ is a quake to the core, inspired by an account of a UFO sighting in Tibet in the late 1920s, an antique locket and the Bock saga.

Two incredible UTR shows planned for the coming week:

 Monday night we're teaming up with Parallel Lines at the O2 Forum Kentish Town for John Maus and Alpha Maid!

 Tuesday night we're hosting Phew, Isaiah Hull and Freddie Murphy at the ICA!
