Well constructed art rock track, a treat to listen!

I love avant-garde style music, well done!

Off the Record - The Fades
Bark Like a Dog Records
Friday June 2nd 2023

The Fades release an in your face blast of alternative garage rock rage with 'Off the Record'.

Big riffs, soaring guitar and powerful drums with a simple and maniacal vocal refrain "I don't feel comfortable with my voice on the record"..... Don't quote me on that!

Reminiscent of early Nirvana, elements of Faith No More and the snarl of Idles

Off the Record

'Colour Running Away'. The new single from Simesky+Fritch.

Colour Running Away

Love to tweak your 303??? You might like this. Off beat acid track. What would a 303 dream about if it had consciousness?

Dreaming In Sine Waves

Cover Art Painting by Graham Nicolls.

Track four of the EP The Elemental Concoction. This is probably the bravest track as it doesn't have any drum beat, nothing but the swaying rhythm from the roar of an open fire that morphs and pounds. It sounds like a harsh roasting and it shoots out sparks well. All together it has it's own beat with the timing of a flickering flame.

Like staring at a fire, I find this one quite hypnotising.

The good recordings were from the open fire and getting cracking and crackling sounds from burning leaves and twigs in the yard. I tried filling balloons with lighter gas and putting a flame to them, they were visual effective, but too much like the air sounds I had recorded.

Single released 26th May

The nerve and membrane of sister species is not dissimilar: a tuft of hair on the hind leg, eyes black and immaculate. A vague body: veins soiled, the head slightly enlarging, mouth open wide. The vulva of woman and spider serve the same purpose.

Species

Vulva

Featuring Dave the joiner who was recorded unknowingly and would rather remain anonymous. This one is dedicated to him, us and his longstanding love for honey and peanut butter sandwiches (which he used to keep under his pillow as a child). Written, sung and produced by Twitchy. Mixed and mastered by Forest DLG of KMJ45 Studios. 

Lyrics:
What 
What you looking at?
See how you get on

I think me and you are like honey and peanut
And I love this taste
There's nothing in life, only death come between us
Nothing more to chase
This taste lifts me up like the rays from the sun
Though your love weighs a tonne I feel light
Your qualities are rare blossom on trees
And so vast like the seas and the stars in the night sky

Honey and Peanut

Reminiscing about a Scouse childhood & dreaded Sundays at the garden centre, false nostalgia, getting old, cycle of life. Out officially late June.
