Leeds-formed Drahla have defined their own vital subset of art-rock with Useless Coordinates, a debut album that’s as fearless as it is enthralling. Stern and rigid sounds splatter and land as drum-roll explosions. Urgent, nagging, jagged guitars accent slap-shot choruses and melodies like broken glass. Rhythms like gunshots and raw guitars in brutal slices of meaty viscosity. Cool-as-hell vocals drive churning horror show sounds.
