The pair of releases shared up to now by Ashnymph defy easy classification: their own description of their music as “subconscioussion” provides few hints. Their initial track Saltspreader married a pounding industrial rhythm – guitarist Will Wiffen has sometimes been seen on stage wearing a T-shirt that bears the logo of Godflesh, icons of industrial metal – with old-school electronic keys and a guitar line that partly brings to mind the Stooges’ garage rock perennial I Wanna Be Your Dog, before dissolving into a mass of eerie audio. The planned result, the group has mentioned, was to evoke motorway travel, “the endless movement of vehicles 24-hours a day over huge distances … orange lights at night”.

The subsequent track, the song Mr Invisible, sits somewhere between nightclub tunes and experimental rock. For one thing, the track’s rhythm, multiple entrancing electronic parts, and vocals that arrive either psychedelically smeared or spellbindingly cyclical in a way that recalls Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman period all indicate the dancefloor. Conversely, its forceful live-sounding dynamics, near-anarchic character and distortion – “getting that crisp distortion is a long-term goal,” Wiffen noted – mark it out as clearly a group effort rather than a solitary home producer. They’ve been playing around the independent music circuit in south London for under a year, “anywhere that will turn the PA up loud”.

But both are exciting and different enough – mutually and anything else around at the moment – to make you wonder about the band's future direction. Whatever it is, on the strength of these tracks, it’s unlikely to be boring.
