Sometimes when I see those crazed people in the street – yelling at no-one, screaming up at bare windows, having it out with the fresh air – I wonder if maybe they’re the sane ones, and it’s me that’s mad. Maybe they’re just the chosen few with flexible enough minds that they can see the ghosts, and recognise the push and pull that most of us walk blithely by. Maybe they’re enlightened, and I’m stumbling around the dark. Listening to South London act Peepholes, and their mesmerising drone-out, makes me wonder all over again.
(Peepholes currently have a tape out on Nail In The Coffin and a split 12″, ‘Kingdom’, out on Upset The Rhythm, which prettily summarises Peepholes as ‘party music for the lost at sea’. A new EP ‘Caligula’ is due imminently, also through UTR.)
