"The machine looms—it watches you from within. The finger points, but the face is missing."

The Bristol/Amman connection just got even deeper… following DBL's impressive string of Avon-infused heaters (check the recent scorchers from Nzumbe, Content Provider and 2023's 'Weld'). And we're well informed there's even more of this cross-continental greatness to come…

But first...

Kinlaw & Franco Franco. ATC's original prodigal sons. A two-headed nephilim with an ever-growing tally of near-biblical performances – leaving shook audiences coughing dust for months after. Resurrected for 2025.

Those familiar know their hallowed-dogma – brimming with cyberpunk prophetics, surveillance state paranoia and rusted gothic futurism. Each chilling sermon accompanied by a bespoke blend of crusted sonics, taut future-concrète prangers and only the finest industrial-trappist beats.

Back with renewed precision. 11 hot-kneelers for your mental.

On 'Faith Elsewhere', they lead the congregation into uncharted waters with pop-confessional, 'Pitstop 2024'. There's a fresh revamp of the beloved feudal anthem, 'Crocs on the Plough'. Next, a long-fermented, yet still refreshing, kind of chamber-wave on the album's self-titled track. And there's even a touch of the devotional in the final ethereal reprise… Plus, there are plenty more teachings to be found elsewhere…

The writing's on the wall. Accept no false idols. Now pull up your cushion and kneel at their altar. It might just be their best yet….

"In the holiness of their temples, unsuspecting worshippers were being observed by indiscreet eyes."

Artists Bio:

Duo Kinlaw & Franco Franco shook hands on a series of spontaneous freestyle sessions somewhere in the dank chambers of Avon in 2018. Time-stamp of an exuberant year the first release "Mezzi Umani Mezze Macchine" (Avon Terror Corps, 2019) consecrated their fellowship followed by their second offering, the socially-deprived, "Mega Dopo Mega" in 2021.

Among a slew of CDR mixtapes, LIVE bootlegs and compilations appearances the due counts the single "Crocs on the Plough" (NoCorner, 2022) - a heartfelt excursus on original accumulation and market-induced nomadism, clouds aimed "WAVE LED" (RIFORMA, 2022), and again together on Kinlaw's royal rumble album "WELD" (Drowned By Locals, 2023) with the stomped serenade "E Gli Fanno".

The duo's blend results from ill-cried tales of the present and future, a devout approach to beatmaking, turbulence and self-expression, bread rap and butter Gollem birthed from Goram's phlegm.

Back on the kneelers with renewed belief, their third album "Faith Elsewhere" will be out in October 2025 on Drowned By Locals.
