Amsterdam’s Rosa Ronsdorf and Nina de Jong made a name for themselves as Spill Gold with a demo tape which soon saw them touring across the US, UK and EU. Mixing heavy guitar riffs with flickering post-apocalyptic rave tapestries topped with a wild dose of trance-inducing psychedelia, their work sounds both euphorically raw, dancy and introspectively downbeat. The equally punk-minded Knekelhuis released their much anticipated debut album Highway Hypnosis in October, an LP that sees the band navigating from 70s synth pop to industrial and stoner rock grooves, via hallucinated lullabies à la Jefferson Airplane and shape-shifting electronica harmonics.
