And so the fetish for 90s fuzz-revivalism continues unabated – the latest to fall onto artfully distressed, denim-clad knees before the altar of plaid are New York trio GHXST (Shelley X, Chris Wild, Nathan La Guerra). They released their debut single via Club.The.Mammoth earlier in the year; the b-side (today’s MPFree) – available as a free download via their Bandcamp – possesses enough swagger to potentially set them apart from their similarly retro peers. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to do a little Billy Idol sneer whilst imagining yourself in a pair of leather keks you once saw on a Scandinavian male model.
