Yorkshire’s feral garage-punk quintet, Avalanche Party, have unleashed a new single, 'John Coltrane’s Moscow Skyscraper' ahead of their highly anticipated album Der Traum Über Alles, due out on February 7th via Kartel Music Group’s alternative imprint, AMK. This track encapsulates the band's unhinged energy while exploring the primal and rebellious themes coursing through their latest offerings.
Recorded at the iconic Rancho De La Luna studio in Joshua Tree, the album promises to be a raw and visceral experience, and this single offers a taste of the animalistic intensity Avalanche Party thrives on. True to their signature style, 'John Coltrane’s Moscow Skyscraper' isn’t just noise for noise’s sake; it's a calculated chaos, a restrained fury that pulses through each beat.
Frontman Jordan Bell’s description of the track highlights its stripped-down nature: “Take half the strings off your guitar, tune the ones remaining to the same note… Hold back the noise.” This deliberate minimalism doesn’t detract from the impact. Instead, it sharpens it. The song builds a hypnotic tension, driven by an aggressive, pulsating rhythm and jagged, raw guitar lines that echo the track’s themes of bottled-up energy and defiance. It feels like a wild beast pacing in a cage, constantly threatening to break free.
Avalanche Party have already teased listeners with 'Nureyev Said It Best' and 'Collateral Damage' tracks that gained traction on platforms like Radio X and BBC Introducing. 'John Coltrane’s Moscow Skyscraper' takes things a step further, proving that the band is honing their craft and pushing boundaries. It’s a track that dares you to let go, to join the band in the cathartic release they seem to be gearing up for on Der Traum Über Alles.
This single solidifies Avalanche Party as a ferocious force in the alternative scene, blending wild punk aesthetics with a thoughtful, almost surgical approach to sound. The result is exhilarating—an infectious, untamed anthem that leaves you anticipating the storm that’s coming with the full album.
