escucha and learn

August 6th 2013.

A Gitmix of the 12" of the track that was also on the LP Tackhead Tape Time.

Started work on this in 2011. Made it fifteen seconds in and stopped.

Yesterday I revisited the file and got to work again. Funny how imminent destitution is a great motivator to finish things.

Adrian Sherwood and the masters Wimbish, McDonald and LeBlanc, 1985. And the album Gary Clail's Tackhead Sound System - Tackhead Tape Time, has never been bettered.

Tackhead - Mind At The End Of The Tether (Gitmix)

 Our best version of the classic Velvet Underground track. We tried about 10 times to record this song, but the results were never very tight. This version I think is strong enough to share.  Miss Mess and Sonny Blood absolutely back each other up to the very top, lots of support from the awesome Bryce Martin,  Tim Moore as well! At Patrick Jennings Underground Paradise Place, he calls it Unseasonable Sound Studio.

Venus in Furs

I hate this crazy world
crystal castle-like
so cynical way it goes
hiding behind a smile
 
Old rules fake news to follow
made up to control us
there's anger everywhere I go
but cowardice holds everyones back
 
I hate this world
hate this world
 
Full of stupid flags
dividing us apart
I hate this world
hate this world

Barcelona post-punk quartet Low Blows is unleashing a Pandora’s Box of frustrations with their new song “I Hate.” The introspective song reflects upon recent years living under constant global crisis – injustices and maladies that range from rights to inequity, peace to war, health to the pandemic, and education to disinformation. The plodding, dystopian soundscape showcases buzzy synths reminiscent of early Human League and Gary Numan, as well as post-punk guitars that bring to mind Joshua Tree-era U2. The droll chant of the lead singer unfurls a steady litany of rage.

“The track is a harsh interpretation of reality, because it was written at a time when the world was not up for celebration,” the band says. “It continues on in this state, but hopefully everything will change and advance for the better. We try to contribute to that change.”

The video for ‘I Hate,’ directed by Cristian Vidal and Amanda González, is a sinister, unsettling wander through the dark, encountering surreal visions, dreamscapes of the past, photo cameos of long-past ancestors, and the cleansing power of fire.
