Post Coal Prom Queen

Released back in July, this is well worth catching up with, as it could be the strongest and most complete realisation of Lilly and Gordon’s ongoing mPCPQ usical project yet…
A heady mix of heady electronica, orchestration and squalling electric guitar riffs, it combines beats with chamber arrangements while all the time Lilly’s vocals twist around the music like a 2024 relative of the Cocteau Twins; yes it is that good.
There are lyrical references to particle biology, internal worlds and “tiny gods” – the musical territory that this covers in just over four minutes is just incredible, dexterous but never forced, like it just flows naturally – it really is the most compelling track to get lost in.
A few live dates are in the diary for the autumn and a new EP is in the works, meanwhile BM is off to examine the several (ok, 5!) remixes of this track by artists including Texture…
