Field Day mix 08 – S.C.U.M.

Based in London, S.C.U.M exploded onto the UK music scene two years ago with their intense live shows, uncompromising aesthetic and captivating, finely tuned melancholia…

Since then Thomas Cohen (vocal), Bradley Baker (machines), Samuel Kilcoyne (moog), Melissa Rigby (drums) and Huw Webb (Bass) have toured across the UK and Europe, recently supporting The Kills.

Next month, they return with a new album, Again Unto Eyes, for Mute, which showcases their brand of psychedelia, space-rock, avant-disco and dystopia to the fore more fully than ever before.

Their live show at Field Day should be a hoot, but for now, dig into this, their exclusive Field Day mix and a consummate summation of their musical influences, including tracks by Silver Apples, Kraftwerk, Eno, Moondog and Sun Ra…
