WIN STUFF
WIN !!! ALBUMS
Strange Weather, Isn’t It? is the new album by !!! (or ‘chkchkchk’ if you prefer). It’s less spiky than previous efforts, with a brooding
darkness that owes a lot to the city of Berlin – the band relocated there during
the recording process, following in the footsteps of Bowie, Iggy and all the other musicians who owe a creative debt to the German capital. The album’s reviewed on page 117; and we have five copies to give away. WIN DOVES TICKETS
