The song State Of The Art, from the Gotye album Making Mirrors

Lowrey Cotillion choir, banjo, Genie Bass, custom flute presets,
diapason, Orchestral Symphonizer, Magic Swing piano,

******************************
When the Cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D 575
Has custom flute presets
And Harmony-Plus in addition

Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half-dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom

I put the Genie Bass on
So my left hand can play the choir
With 16ft Diapason
And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer

Banjo's great on repeat
The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient
The wife can't help tapping her feet
It's a genuine home entertainment revelation

State of the art
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State of the art
[Listen to the difference!]

(Oh my god, it's so)
State of the art
[By use of a computer]
State of the art

Now we don't want to go out
When we could spend the night
at home with the Cotillion
Invite the neighbours around
Start the bossanova beat and
limbo from the living to the kitchen

Enjoy the state of the art
The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding
Now we can't tell them apart
But these amazing simulations end up
 sounding even better than the real thing

State of the art
(Hold the phone, it's so)
[Computer controlled tone colour]
State of the art
[The marriage of music to computers is quite natural]
(Oh my god, it's so)
State of the art
[It is time to hear the results]

This is a really long trip we're on here, sugars and sugarettes. But it's not about the destination. No need to get an ironic tattoo, wear lavender oil or a Stepford smile if that ain't you. Just be your bad self. Don't worry 'bout your birthday. You only have one anyway. And as a wise man once said, time is no linear thing. You, me, us, we love our bodies, and that's a good thing, but let's not forget that Father Time's hourglass figure makes him a sexy mug too. Let's give him some lov. And while we're at it, let's feed that fine ass Mother Nature some honey as well. Remember, we're all Children of Lov. So let's make our parents proud. Let's sing ourselves back to the Mother's hip. Let's turn back to the cosmic cantaloupes and draw deep. Let's travel through the deep south, pass through the lov canal, and immerse ourselves in the voluptuous body of water ahead. As the Scripture hath said, the ocean is our catwalk. The time is ripe for music made of lov n' haight. Let's jump off this money tree. Together.

Rakshasa (feat. Monsoonsiren)

"I think this might be the best song I've written, I hope that doesn't read arrogant, it's certainly not a great song in the grand scheme of things. I chipped away at this one over the course of about 3 months and there were times when I was close to ditching it altogether, I had the first half of it written as a sort of poem or short story and then I spent a long time whittling that down into different verses. I was trying to fashion a sort of country and western song but I really only wanted the feeling from those kind of songs, that "last orders at the bar type" sentiment, I'm not interested in making some sort of parody, affecting the accent and all that, I just try to drag all this different coloured music into my own sad world. I think this is the first time I've talked about religion in a song, I am romantic to a silly extent and I am disposed to believing in all sorts of things that there is absolutely no proof for but not Jesus and his Dad, I just don't like the story that much, not compared to Harry Potter or something, that said, I can see why people find comfort in it, and that is what I talk about in the song, I am not sure that it matters if it's real or not. One time I was walking home from the pub a bit worse for wear and I saw the Virgin Mary statue in the church gardens, all lit up and It felt like a vision and I was touched and I could of wept. I knew then that it was the beer and the lighting and the setting but It seemed for a moment like much more than just the sum of that and if that is how other people have felt, then it is dead easy to see how the religion thing has gotten to be so big. Perhaps I am asking rather a lot for you to get all this from the song, I hope it doesn't just sound like I'm preaching."

In 2009 Spectrals began life as a one man band. That one man was Heckmondwike, Yorkshire resident, Louis Jones, and he played everything on his early releases himself. A number of singles were released on labels such as Captured Tracks, Tough Love, Underwater People and Moshi Moshi; somewhere along the way Louis recruited his brother, Will, to play drums; touring band members came and went, but the core of the two brothers remains to this day. 

In 2011 Spectrals signed to Slumberland (in North America) and Wichita (for the rest of the world) and those labels released the debut album, "Bad Penny." Recorded by Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Spectrum etc.), the album was critically acclaimed, with Pitchfork giving it a 7.5 and described it as having “a youthful spirit but rooted in a classic sound”, whilst the NME gave it a 7, welcoming “another intelligent, funny, soul-baring songwriter to the fold”. They also named Louis as “the Slacker Poet... a mantle not lightly bestowed” in a more recent article  about their favourite recent lyricists.

But what of the new album?

Well, after an understated guitar intro, a buzzsaw starts up and 'Let Me Cave In' comes sliding in. At once it is obvious that "Sob Story" oozes a new confidence not heard on Bad Penny or his earlier releases. The songs sparkle: they are catchier, poppier, more direct into your ears than ever before.

The album displays Louis's wide-ranging influences – many loves developed on family car journeys growing up – from Big Star and The Rolling Stones, through Nick Lowe, Tom Petty and Slade to Galaxie 500 and even blink-182. Some of these sounds are more obvious than others but it is legendary Welsh rock 'n' roller Dave Edmunds that Louis names as the key influence on his songwriting and the sound he wanted on this record, saying that he was “trying to cop some of those Country and Rockabilly licks he does”. 

Louis takes all these influences and puts them together to create something that is undeniably Spectrals. You might argue that he does this in a similar manner to his very favorite musician (“that's my guy”), the one and only, Elvis Costello (on a recent run of solo shows, the only song that Louis played that was not taken from his new album was a cover of an early, rough Costello demo, 'Cheap Reward'.)

Much like Jones on this new album, Costello has always been a musician who could traverse many styles across an album but who never lost his own style and voice whilst doing so. 

And speaking of voices, what really stands out as you listen to "Sob Story" is how the once shy Jones, who would hide his vocal in a cloak of echo, can be heard singing more clearly, strongly and proudly than ever before. Long gone are the reverb-soaked days when Louis would be heard at gigs asking the soundman to turn the reverb on his vocals up between every song, whilst also requesting they not even turn it off between songs when he speaks to the audience (something that is a commonplace practice for most musicians) because he didn't like to hear himself in the monitors without it.

So what has caused this undeniable leap in confidence? It could well be the result of two years on the road, touring with the likes of Real Estate (and as support act, as well as backing band, to the R.E. side-project, Ducktails), Cults (two months across North America), Best Coast, The Cribs and many others, including GIRLS. 

There was a strong mutual-appreciation between Spectrals and GIRLS from the start and having got to know Chet “JR” White from the band, and being a fan of his production work for is own band, it made perfect sense to ask him if he would like to work on the next Spectrals record. Following a meeting at the legendary, if somewhat rough-around-the-edges, Bull & Gate pub in London's Kentish Town, JR said he was into the idea too and plans were made for Louis and Will to fly out to San Francisco to start laying down the songs that now make-up Sob Story at the Decibelle studio.

Working in his hometown allowed JR to call in friends of his to contribute their own magic to moments of the album. Guitarist Jon Anderson added lead guitar to five of the twelve tracks, of whom, with typical modesty, Louis said “it was ace to have a real guitar player around”. The band were also joined on three songs by pedal-steel player, Tom Heyman. “It was a big deal to have a pedal steel player come and play on one of my records”, said the Spectrals mainman, “to me the sound of those things is like a shorthand for "sad" and a thing they have on proper studio albums. I was thinking how I could have the songs sound more sad and knew I had to get a pedal steel in”.

JR even played some of the basslines himself, as well as adding some deft manipulation from behind the soundboard, for example the atmospherics that he created for one of the stand-out tracks, 'Milky Way'. As JR said in a recent interview for Paste magazine, “we had to use a lot of creativity and in the end, it sounds really cohesive and big. It’s not a lo-fi record”.

The central theme of this record is love – that has always been the case with Spectrals, as Jones once said it's all “just about love really” – but this time the lyrics are more reflecting on and questioning of love and relationships. 

There are songs that are clearly loves songs in the classic sense ('Limousine', 'Milky Way', 'Sob Story'). The problems of long-distance relationships are covered in 'Blue Whatever' (“I've been blue as a bruise ever since you went down / 'cause to me it could just as well be another galaxy”); that same topic, as well as the problems caused by being away on tour so much, come up in 'Karaoke' (“If I stop playing guitar / Learn to drive a car / And try and get my head around living in another town”); he discusses how he can be the cause of their problems in 'A Heartbeat Behind' (“I made such hard work of loving you / Love became a hobby too / I'm in no way badly done to / After all, I have you”); and with his characteristic humor, 'Something To Cry About' tackles a question asked by a number of journalists when reviewing Bad Penny – what will he write songs about if he doesn't have trouble in love???

"Sob Story" sees Spectrals back and better than ever, brimming with confidence and the best songs of the Jones brothers' careers so far. It's an album that begs to be played again as soon as it finishes and one that will also create excitement at what is to come next from this band, whether Louis is lucky or unlucky in love between now and then.

Out June 18 on Slumberland Records (North America) and June 3 on Wichita Recordings (rest of the world).

NONONO x Pumpin Blood (Taken By Trees x Belief Remix)

You always tell me you are hurt
That giving up yourself would never work
Instead of acting so damn smart
Let go and listen to your heart

Stop hiding yourselves in a thousand questions
All Im saying
More tears wont lead you in the right direction
You can go anywhere you want 
If you just leave the past behind if only for a moment
Heartbreakers never break your break forever
Never break your heart forever

You tell me your not good enough
Maybe one were expecting to much
but that is not what others see
All they want is you to be happy

Stop hiding yourselves in a thousand questions
All Im saying
More tears wont lead you in the right direction
You can go anywhere you want 
If you just leave the past behind if only for a moment
Heartbreakers never break your break forever
Never break your heart forever

I will never force you
You have to do this alone
