Nottingham alt-rock trio Content Provider, comprised of Tim Brudenell (vocals, guitar), Erfan Ghafouri (bass), and Michael Brown (drums), make their powerful return with ‘Moon’s Gravity’, their loudest and most ambitious track to date.

Blending funk-fuelled basslines, jagged post-punk guitar, pounding drums, and abstract lyricism, Content Provider has carved a reputation for defying genre boundaries both live and in the studio. ‘Moon’s Gravity’ pushes this ethos to new extremes.

Opening with eerie, atmospheric guitars and airy vocals, the track lures the listener into a false sense of calm before erupting into a cataclysmic crescendo. Thrashing guitars, distorted bass, and thunderous drums collide in a soundscape that balances prog-inspired expansiveness with raw alternative rock grit. Lyrically, the song weaves metaphors of space exploration and plane crashes into a haunting meditation on dread and inevitability.

With an ever-growing reputation across Nottingham’s underground scene, Content Provider has built a loyal following for their unpredictable live shows, where songs twist and transform in real time. ‘Moon’s Gravity’ captures that same energy on record; a sonic journey that feels as volatile and electrifying as their performances, and a clear statement of intent for what’s to come on their new album.

‘Moon’s Gravity’ follows last year’s record ‘Exposure Complete’ and offers a thrilling glimpse into what’s ahead. With its brooding intensity, shifting dynamics, and genre-melding energy, the track reaffirms Content Provider as one of the UK’s most exciting underground bands.

Q&A

What are some bands you like that mix genres and sounds in a way that you try to?

A particular reference for me is an album by Super Furry Animals called Guerilla. It was quite formative in my early teens, but I didn’t realize how out there it was until I revisited it much later.

Are you more inspired by prog or alternative? Or is it an even split?

I feel like alternative is more my bag, but a lot of the bands that I see as inspirations probably see a lot of prog as inspiration for their music, so it all drips downstream.

Do you write the lyrics from the point of view of a storyteller, or are they personal?

Writing from different points of view is something I am trying to develop, and not to sound self-pitying in my lyrics. Often, the ‘characters’ I’m writing from are just exaggerated versions of myself, though.

What has been your favorite show to date?

We had one at Rouge Trade in Nottingham when we were launching our first EP, which was personally quite a big milestone. That was special with the timing of finally releasing a complete piece of work.

Do you consider yourself more of a live band or a studio project?

It was originally intended purely as a studio thing, but it’s pretty equal now. I started doing this because I love writing, but when gigs go well, you feel like you’re flying. No feeling like it.

When are you playing next, and what recordings do you have in the works?

We’re playing at Victoria Inn Derby and Rose of England Nottingham on 21.11.25 and 22.11.25. Currently recording an LP – one single is out already, with another forthcoming
