Entitled “Foggy”, it follows current single “Anteater” which got here out earlier this yr and is the second observe to be taken from the band’s debut EP Spider Rock Without end, which is scheduled to come back out this autumn (fall).
Written after a protracted state of sleep deprivation, “Foggy” speaks a story of the dreamer, rising with its fuzzy insomniac bed-head. In granting your self permission to simply accept an uncanny state of affairs as believable or reality, actuality and reality turn out to be tough to discern.
Delivered with an acceptable lullaby-like-nature, the backing vocals add to the surreal sensibility with an unshakably condescending, mocking tone. A drunken tub-thumping rhythm performs because the lead guitar warbles with a half-asleep grogginess; solely to be shaken awake by a raucous overdriven refrain. Singer, songwriter and guitarist Eliot Jones would come to study that magnesium is a formidable treatment for his restlessness (all credit score to the employee in Holland and Barrett).
The EP is an impartial self-release, recorded at Tom Rees’ (Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard) studio whereas he was on vacation. To grasp the challenge, the group sought out long-time collaborator Eddie Al-Shakarchi (Boy Azooga, Detest, Swim Deep).When a charismatic chief is concerned, actuality, religion and fantasy are the entwined pillars of cult mythology. For this challenge, sect storytelling was a bottomless pool of intrigue for Jones. Inspiration was drawn from watching numerous hours of movie, particularly the documentaries of Roch Theriault and the Ant Hill Youngsters, Heaven’s Gate and Youngsters of God (IBLP).
