Editors Pick: Torn Relics' Soundtrack To Your Recurring Dreams...

Published on 2020-04-10 00:00:00 by Will Soer

For this edition of Editors Pick, Hardy takes us back to memories of summers gone by in particular, two amazing nights: a Torn Relics gig at Griessmuhle and a Loose Lips event in Manchester which also included Schefelgelb. After releasing their first album, The Poisoned Chalice, Torn Relics gave us a selection of 10 tracks to your recurring dreams…

Torn Relics’ live show feels like the view of late 1800s London one might have experienced whilst clinging on to the side of a moving train, grinding industry and human perseverance framed by clouds of smoke and soot. Or at least that was the vibe I got when I caught them in the cavernous main room of Berlin’s Griessmuhle last summer. The set was a perfect eye-of-the-storm breather from a night of powerhouse techno, with Rommek (who played a DJ set later on) bouncing on the spot infront of his synth setup whilst Aimee Mullen’s violin glided above the beats. Check out their EP below, and if you’re in Manchester this Friday get dowwwwwwwwwwwn to their show (alongside another mammoth live show from Schwefelgelb).

_Needless to say, we’re enormously excited to share their selections, introduced by the duo here:_Flying in the clouds. Being chased through the woods. Making hot magic sex. Robbing banks and riding off into the sunset… These are tracks that will be playing on the radio, whistling in the wind and throbbing in your mind.**Bauhaus Hollow Hills | Mask \[ 1981 Beggars Banquet \]**
