2017 WRC Best Prog Performance award winners IT returned to London last Wednesday night 14th March 2018 at 229 The Venue. Not only did we manage to present the guys with their fully deserved award (pictured) but we also managed to do a quick interview here with Nick Jackson (vocals and guitar) and Andy Rowberry (lead guitar) after their soundcheck where we not only discussed their critically acclaimed latest album 'We're All In This Together' but also their path forward as far as future gigs and albums were concerned. With also Tom Ashcroft (drums), Ricky Kincade (bass) and Ryan McCaffrey (keyboards) - the guys have two more gigs lined up, namely Fusion 2018 supporting Godsticks in Stourport on Saturday 31st March and following that they are supporting Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate at The Fiddlers Elbow in Chalk Fram/Camden on Sunday 23rd September.

The DJ Struth Mate Show - Episode 176

This very short track is an instrumental portrait of Scorpio, the hybrid pig/human from Alastair Reynold's Revelation Space novels. This is from the album Nostalgia For Infinity by Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate www.hatsoffgentlemen.com

Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate - Scorpio

"Nostalgia for Infinity is an exquisite mix of appealing songwriting, intricate musicianship, and unconventional techniques that channels multiple genres and eras into a deeply unified journey.

English duo Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate certainly chose a moniker worthy of curiosity and remembrance; fortunately, their music proves to be just as intriguing and enduring. Centered around multiinstrumentalists and vocalists Malcolm Galloway and Mark Gatland—with support from vocalist/flutist Kathryn Thomas—the group aptly classifies itself as a “genre-defying band combining prog/alt-rock and electronica, with elements of minimalism, funk, classical, acoustic, and metal.” Indeed, there’s virtually as much vintage progressive rock in their music as there is late 70s/early 80s glam rock and new wave, leading to irresistibly wide-ranging and pristine compositions. Their latest collection, the semi-oxymoronic Nostalgia for Infinity, does an excellent job showcasing that cohesive fluidity. It frequently juxtaposes wonderful accessibility and eclectic abstractions, resulting in a fascinating journey that requires repeated visits to fully appreciate.

Nostalgia for Infinity follows 2018’s Out of Mind LP, and it contains two out of three pieces from 2019’s Ark EP. According to the band, it centers on “the frailty of civilisation, from a variety of perspectives, including seven tracks inspired by the science fiction novels of author and former astrophysicist Alastair Reynolds.” Elsewhere, there are pieces “relating to nanotechnology, the Second World War, and environmental destruction.” Clearly, there’s a lot of historical, philosophical. and sci-fi weight to the lyrical content, and luckily, its melodies and arrangements make you want to dig into each and every sentiment.

Nostalgia for Infinity is an exquisite mix of appealing songwriting, intricate musicianship, and unconventional techniques that channels multiple genres and eras into a deeply unified journey. By evoking so many influences and styles at once, Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate comes off as commendably original and ambitious. In a world in which so much music is exhaustively predictable and safe, it’s nice to find an LP that’s so surprising and absorbing at once. If you aren’t already tipping your cap to the London duo, Nostalgia for Infinity is a great reason to do so." Jordan Blum - Rebel Noise (reviewing Nostalgia For Infinity album)
