Formed from the ashes of the prolific yet short-lived Nottingham punk four-piece Plaids, Soul Structure are a prime example of why anyone who claims that the best guitar-based music comes from outside the UK is looking in all the wrong places. Words like "raw" and "frenetic" and "visceral" come to mind when listening to them, which would make it easy to draw on the Dischord Records roster or pioneers like Moss Icon for comparison if Soul Structure weren't so uniquely themselves.
We're premiering "Cooling Board" from their debut album True Love. It was written last summer and then recorded in the autumn across two DIY spaces that exist at the very heart of Nottingham’s punk scene, Stuck On A Name and JT Soar, which the band also help run. Vocally reminiscent of Patrick Kindlon's (Drug Church and Self Defense Family) husky semi-shout, "Cooling Board" pulls you all over the place, preparing you for a crescendo and then pausing for reflection, before eventually careening into "jam" territory.
Take a listen below.
True Love will be released on March 18 through Barely Regal Records (UK), Strictly No Capital Letters (UK) and Dingleberry (Germany), and is available to pre-order now. Soul Structure will be touring Europe in April, starting with an album release show at DIY Space for London. Full list of dates below.
