Prolapse formed in Leicester in the early '90s and are now spread across the UK and Scandinavia. Still pursuing their own path of repetition and twisted melodies, they merge influences from post punk to krautrock and even folk. Their previous releases have included numerous singles and four albums on various labels, including Cherry Red and Radar. They feature vocalists Mick Derrick and Linda Steelyard, whose intense dueling vocals combine with ferocious triple guitar assault and pummeling rhythms. The fifth Prolapse album I Wonder When They're Going to Destroy Your Face is released on Tapete Records and marks the band's first new recordings since their last album, Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes. From the opening incessant riff of "The Fall of Cashline," Prolapse set their stall out, hammering the message that they're back, over and over (and over and over) again. The album was mainly written in Leicester and recorded at Foel Studio in Wales. Some songs had been evolving for a few years whilst others (three on the album) were improvised and recorded on the spot, just like they've always done. Get ready, turn the microphones on, press record -- and something just happens. Perhaps channeling some of the ghosts that have previously recorded at Foel: Amon Düül II, the Groundhogs, Young Marble Giants, My Bloody Valentine, and inevitably The Fall. The last words of the album are said by Linda Steelyard, recounting a tale of arriving at Leicester Forest East Services, and deciding to stay -- forever.

Deluxe reissue of their Prolapse's debut album, Pointless Walks To Dismal Places, originally released in 1994. Completely remastered under band supervision. Combining a metronomic krautrock beat played by a monster drummer, looping guitars, and a boy/girl vocal that sounded like a bickering bed-sit argument turned into song, Prolapse had all the manic intensity of a nervous breakdown set against a backdrop of inventive guitar work and a really tough rhythm section. There were hints of the Fall, krautrock, PiL, and a touch of the pure golden pop of Blondie along with the sense of restless dislocation shared by many of the post-punk bands. Prolapse arrived in the middle of the Britpop era and their tense, almost neurotic music clashed with the stadium-filling, jolly knees-up pop that dominated the indie mainstream of the time. By 1996, indie had become the mainstream in terms of record sales and sound and was strutting around at the opposite end of the cultural spectrum to the indie bands of the '80s and their war against popular culture. Late arrivals Prolapse were the last gasp of this genuine independence. Features the original LP plus a bonus disc with the Cherry Red EP tracks, plus a 16-page booklet containing photos, reviews, and sleeve notes from Mick Derrick, Steve Mack, and John Robb. Burgundy vinyl; gatefold matte laminated sleeve with spot UV varnish.

RSD 2019 release. Glass Modern present a reissue of the Prolapse's second album Backsaturday, originally released in 1995. Backsaturday saw them experimenting with both repetitive grooves and ambient soundscapes, krautrock, and kitchen sink drama. They feature dueling vocalists Mick Derrick and Linda Steelyard, who play out an intense soap opera over a ferocious triple guitar assault and pummeling rhythm section. The classic 15-minute track "Flex", has been remixed by current bass player and former Julian Cope associate, Donald Ross Skinner. 180 gram vinyl; Duck egg blue vinyl.
