Every element of Egyptian Bluersquos fierce, uncompromising sound feels like hypnotism fuelled by psychosis. Their grinding riffs achieve a mesmeric power through brute repetition, while their rhythm section produces taut, nervous energy and intense postpunk grooves in equal measure. Following on from their incendiary debut E. Prsquos 2019rsquos lsquoCollateral Damagersquo amp 2020rsquos lsquoBody Of Itchrsquo, the band garnered a fervent following and had support from key tastemakers across the media including Steve Lamacq, Jack Saunders, Tom Ravenscroft, NME and Fader. In the intervening time they have been heralded by their peers as one of the best new bands in the country IDLES frontman Joe Talbot describing them as ldquofucking sickrsquorsquo and picking them as his act of choice for the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury 2022. Yannis Philippakis is another avowed superfan, personally choosing Egyptian Blue as support for Foalsrsquo run of arena shows in the UK amp Europe during their Life Is Yours tour run. The band have now reappeared following an extended period of writing and recording their highly anticipated debut album lsquorsquoA Living Commodityrsquorsquo, due for release on 27 th October 2023 via YALA Records, the label cofounded by former Maccabee Felix White and home to releases from acts including The Magic Gang, YAK, The Homesick, FEET, Whenyoung, Talkshow, Seraphina Simone and Willie J Healey. With a new clarity of vision fully formed during the extended hiatus of 2years of pandemic enforced delays, lsquorsquoA Living Commodityrsquorsquo represents a dynamic artistic shift from Egyptian Blue and showcases in full the scale and ambition of their songwriting. The first teaser of new music came in the form of lsquoGeisharsquo a psychetinged punk attack driven by Luke Phelps propulsive bass combined with Isaac Idersquos tight percussion, underpinned by dual frontmen Andy Buss amp Leith Ambrose jagged guitar playing adding to the angsty and foreboding lyrics with Buss professing lsquorsquoI live for only yoursquorsquo making a magnetising collage of sounds. Andy Buss and Leith Ambrose formed Egyptian Blue in their late teens, theyrsquore the type of people you expect to find in an essential new band two lifelong friends who share a seemingly telepathic connection. Now, finally, after pouring all their collective creative energies into creating a meticulous debut album in lsquorsquoA Living Commodityrsquorsquo that showcases an undeniable new ambition, hunger and dimension Egyptian Blue are poised and ready to pick up their mantle as one of the best new guitar bands in the UK.
