On their self titled debut album, The Othyrs – a band featuring members of indie band The Wolfhounds – explored a world of acoustic-based folk and pop music. On stripped down tracks like ‘Money To Burn’, the quieter musical stance provided a superb backdrop for Alice Golding’s pure vocals, whilst busier numbers like ‘Time’s No Martyr’ and ‘Wasps & Nettles’ showcased great harmonies shared between the various band members. With a couple of tracks that sounded very much like a callback to Indigo Girls’ classic self-titled disc, it was a record with an almost timeless sound.

Listen: Call To The Void share new track ‘Viper’s Venom’
Call To The Void have been lurking within the musical underground for a while. In the summer of 2023, the London based band shared their debut single ‘Uncontrollable’ which blended sharp edged, 90s inspired elements – Pixies/Nirvana-eque basslines coupled with a noisy chorus – with a few 80s goth traits to create something that had one eye on the past, but sounded really punchy in the present. Their belated follow up, ‘Blow’, delivered in January 2024, explored a few different sounds. Stoking up the bass and relying more on a moody vocal, it shared moments that sounded, strangely, a little more like they were channelling a couple of old Billy Idol hits, but with the help of some aggressive guitar work, their love of 90s alternative sounds still remained obvious.
