RATTLE released their third album ?Encircle? on Upset The Rhythm at the start of the 2025. ?Encircle? sees the drumming duo expand their unique experiments in rhythm, metre and tension. Rattle have honed the four songs that make up ?Encircle? by playing them live over the last few years, adapting and stretching them into endlessly inventive new shapes, playing with the concept of time and expectation. With ?Encircle? Rattle have grown, writing songs alive with elemental power. They build-up and disintegrate, existing in two places at once, embracing the nuance, tracing the circle?s edge. These are modes of song as pure gesture and eternal imagination, refined in mirrors after midnight. Rattle have toured the UK with Animal Collective and Thurston Moore and toured Europe with The Julie Ruin and Protomartyr, and have also performed with Hot Snakes, Bill Orcutt Quartet and Codeine.

QUINIE released her her third album ?Forefowk, Mind Me? with Upset The Rhythm back in May this year. The record is largely sung in Scots language, one of Scotland?s three official languages along with Gaelic and English. ?Scots gives me a way of expressing myself which is connected directly with the landscapes I love. It brings the songs alive and it is a fascinating language. The name of the record is in Scots - Forefowk means the people who came before, or ancestors. When we say ?mind me,? we can mean a few things- remind, remember, watch over or care for me. The record explores how tradition needs to be constantly reconnected with, built upon, looked after, and shared.? To develop this record, Quinie travelled across Argyll with her horse. They went on a pilgrimage of sorts through the ancient landscapes of the West of Scotland to explore the interconnected relationships between people, ancestors, animals, and place.

ES released an incredible EP titled ?Fantasy? in 2023 (on Upset The Rhythm). Echoing the legendary Pylon or the later, disco-inspired releases from PIL, tracks like ?Emergency? and ?Unreal? blend the band?s established disjunctive style of gothic restlessness with brighter, poppy, and danceable tones. These stylistically unwind in transition with the increasingly claustrophobic pieces like ?Too Late? and ?Swallowed Whole?, syncopating a parallel design of the frantic and the fashionable. Es deconstruct our modern wreckage of personhood and self-deceit, granting a sense of solidarity inside alienation. This show represents Es? final show for Upset The Rhythm, as the musical project winds up this December.
