Gimic - We Are Making A New World 7"

Gimic are back with three new songs so hot you could fry an egg on ‘em. But just to be clear - there’s no egg here. Kind of surprising, as there’s elements of just about every other punk-adjacent genre - punk, hardcore, post punk, post hardcore, art punk. All of which Gimic mix up effortlessly with an urgency, groove and acidic aggro. There’s no other band like them at the moment and this 7” is exemplary of that - it captures a band coming into their creative prime. Huge variety of songwriting, spot on vocals/lyrics (see We Are Making a New World) and exquisite musicianship packed into three blazing songs. If you want to see how a band can pack a sub two minute punk banger with a hoarde of hidden gems that will reveal themselves on each playback just check out the opening track Irrational Demographic.
If you’re in any doubt whether to pick up this record or not, just ask yourself - is there any other band in the UK right now who are capable of juggling the choicest cuts of the Dischord and SST discographies with a Siege-like intensity? Nope - just Gimic! - Hamish
