Gabi Garbutt & The Illuminations: I Can't Win

The creative process can be a bitch, but keeping at it can pay in spades. Recording I Can't Win, the new single by London's based pop punk band Gabi Garbutt & The Illuminations, was like pulling teeth, but even when the lyrics say otherwise, the track became a winner - and a dead ringer for an encore during their live shows. A low but powerful song powered by a very welcome reappraisal for the sound of vintage synths.

It is a track from their new album, Cockerel, out via Trapped Animal Records (blue and black vinyl). The video was made by Minus Tone.

Gabi Garbutt & The Illuminations: Never Never

One of London's finest pop punk acts Gabi Garbutt & The Illuminations hit the ground running with their new single Never Never. It is short and sweet affirmation of believing that can work out fine. If the B52's had grown up in Camden they might have sounde like this. It is the lead single from their new album, Cockerel, out on May 20th via Trapped Animal Records (blue and black vinyl).

The video was made by Matt Fleming.
