D'ya like your music mental? Hard as a dockers cock? Louder than concorde? Like, honestly, really, really mental? Come over here then sonny. We've got it right here for you: The new album from Castrovalva. It's bizarre, confounding and great in roughly equally measures. Born out of a perverse ADHD desire to see what Prince might have sounded like shoving a synth up his arse and rapping over Mike Patton's wedding band, Castrovalva make noise rock like no one else. Then add some dubstep. It's -ahem- a bit of an aquired taste. Tbh we can't see any Mumford like chart assaults from this lot, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. We can always hope. You can stream You're Not In Hell, You're in Purgatory My Friend below, and never feel quite the same again.

If you liked what you heard, or alternatively, you hated it want to go and throw doggy pap at them, see Castrovalva playing with Nine Black Alps at one of the following dates:
