Kaputt are a recently hatched post-punk act from Glasgow. Kaputt features Simone Wilson and Cal Donnelly on guitars and vocals, Chrissy Barnacle also sings and plays saxophone. Tobias Carmichael is responsible for bass, whilst Rikki Will and Emma Smith cover drums and percussion respectively. Racing away from the playful torn edge of no-wave song, Kaputt blurt out tracks with twitchy charisma, their catchy riffs circle with relish, allowing timely sax stonks and stop-start rhythms to drive things on. Vocals leap, guitars bluster and always the saxophone snakes, hypnotically drawn through the erratic beat. There’s a riot of fun at play in their febrile racket, but there’s also some deeply cerebral grooves and choice lyrical concerns evident too.

Debut album from this Glasgow six-piece. Tightly-wound post-punk mayhem with saxophone weaving through jerky, spidery guitar lines and helter-skelter rhythms. Check this if you're into Omni, Duds, Parquet Courts, Devo...
