In an unprecedented turn of events, I am resurrecting Flat Battery for a couple more records. One is a remaster of some more obscure Flat Battery tracks  from yonks back(ETA whenevs), and the other is happening with a more specific intention:

One of the main reasons Flat Battery started is because people shared awesome free loops, samples and plugins online, and any time I struggled to find a sound or move a track forward, the internet was so generous in its assistance. On later albums I egotistically tried to move away from content I didn't make myself but I still always ended up using a cheeky sample or loop somewhere.

I want to celebrate the people who share random and cool things on the internet with an album intentionally made out of those sounds. A lot of it people just dump and never think about again but honestly to me, these people are unsung heroes and deserve celebration.

On this track I used the following awesome free things:

Guitar: https://freesound.org/people/4barrelcarb/sounds/362832/

Drums: https://freesound.org/people/mojomills/sounds/101121/

Synths: Synth1 - https://www.kvraudio.com/product/synth1-by-ichiro-toda

Lyrics:

My world is filling up so quickly
And there is so much hurt and noise
It's hard to see what is important
Whether or not I have a choice

Or a voice...

And I don't know where to go
Got lost somewhere on the road
But I don't mind if you come too
We got many things to do

And I don't want to waste away
I'll keep moving every day
When we finally leave the ride
I hope you had a good time

I get so wound up trying to find words
For all the things I want to say
They always seem to find the airlock
And then they all make their escape

But hey...

I don't know where to go
Got lost somewhere on the road
But I don't mind if you come too
We got many things to do

And I don't want to waste away
I'll keep moving every day
When we finally leave the ride
I hope you had a good time

Good Time

Flat Battery was formed by Robert Rumney and Liam Wiser in 2005. They made one album together (Liam on vocals/guitar and Rob on programming/sampling/production), entitled "Hello, I am an ashtray", and Robert contributed to the tracks "Stone" and "Pu$y" on the second unfinished album "Ikonoklazm". "Stone" eventually found its way onto "Intermission", a short collection of works done at random intervals.

(Additional credits on "Hello, I am an ashtray" on the track "E-Malgamate" go to Ariel Wertlen Spilkin [guitars], Marco Mario Belloni [vocals in the second verse] and Robert Rumney [ending rap])

After producing his last track "Stone" with Flat Battery, Rob moved on in 2006 to later become well-known in SA acts such as Twelv & Thesis, LSD Influence, Biscope and of course his own solo act Twelv.

Liam continues on the project Flat Battery solo with the occasional collaboration. It's mainly a "just for fun, when there's time" sort of project. Always up for a collaboration with fun, creative people!
