New Music: CORLYX – Twist Like An Animal

Published On: September 3rd, 2019|

Brighton-based CORLYX are Caitlin Stokes (singer / songwriter) and Brandon Ashley (producer / guitarist). Already active in other musical endeavours, they bonded over a mutual love of 90’s industrial rock, grunge and electronica, as you can hear on Twist Like An Animal.

Incorporating references to old school genres like industrial rock into your sound whilst avoiding sounding retro can be a hard trick to pull off, but it’s fair to say the band do that with style.

Hints of Angelspit and Hole break through the dense but textured electro-rock of the arrangement, with layers of sensuality and danger added courtesy of the upfront nature of the lyrics. With their musings on the dark paths they certainly add and air of frisson to an already intoxicating mix.

Featuring on their In2 The Skin album, CORLYX’s Twist Like An Animal is out now. For details on stream or downloading the song, as well as news on upcoming live dates, check out the band’s Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts.
