The Atwood Machine - http://soundcloud.com/paulmdye (who does all the hard work with knobs, buttons and awesomising) and http://soundcloud.com/kimguy (chief wurbler) like to do things with songs they love.  In a coversome way.

I am thrilled with this.  I'd done the vox months ago and completely forgotten about it. It bears repeating:  Paul is a Musical Magician.  I hope you like it as much as I do! :)

Stay With Me (The Atwood Machine stay up all night with Judie Tzuke)

All noises made by punching swans. Except for those that weren’t. 
Recorded at Sunlight Studios. Engineered by Greg Webster.

DOWNLOAD IT HERE: https://tij-official.bandcamp.com/track/bleed-through Written by Barry Snaith & Erika Bach July 2014 
Voice: Lola Demo https://soundcloud.com/lolademo
Instruments and Voice: TIJ
Blister-inducing Guitar Solo: Darren Chilton https://soundcloud.com/spectrum_one

After many a ‘heated debate’ between the fantastic Lola Demo and I, we finally got the track we both wanted without shedding  too many tears. I must have gone through a whole box of tissues.
The trials and tribulations were many - Erika’s laptop broke before we even began and I soon learned that a small Greek island isn’t the place for speedy repairs. My Mac then died on me - unsurprising after the beatings I give it. Then we had a few ‘issues’ about the subject matter and my gory artwork (which I’ve since altered in the light of current horrors). Then I wanted to enlist the astounding skills of the (surely) extra-dextered Darren Chilton, much like Eddie Van Halen on Michael Jackson’s Beat It. Turns out he also had no computer (Darren, not Jacko) so we had to liaise via internet cafés in Tokyo. Darren's only brief was to 'make it as fucked up as possible'. Eventually a truly global song was born (Tokyo, Ithaca, Wakefield). 
I’d also like to say that, once computers were revived, Erika and Darren were so quick to provide their stellar contributions, whereas I laboured faaar too long over the mix, which eventually Erika mastered superbly over at Ithaca Manor.
Anyway, here’s the result. I hope you like it. Loved working with them both. Please listen to their music, you won't be disappointed.

Produced by TIJ 
Mastered by Lola Demo

lyrics by Bach & Snaith July 2014 and we did bleed through them.
BLEED THROUGH 
Halaal! Hallal! You’re bleeding me dry… 
You cannot tell me what I need - what I should want from my life. 
There is no cure for what I feel. No medication to make it right. 
It’s not easy shaking off the damage. 

'Undead Girl Walking'. Halaal! Halaal! You’re bleeding me dry. Hanging on a hook. It's a struggle but you’re good and stuck. Guess you’d be out of luck if you weren’t up so high. 

Bleed through. I know you want to. 

Already dead. I’m already dead. Already bleeding from the back of my head. You’re so wrong. This is genocide. Doesn’t it make you want to cry. Already dead. 

Undead Girl Walking. Halaal! Halaal!  You’re bleeding me dry. I’m hanging on a hook. I struggle but I’m good and stuck. Guess I’d be out of luck if I didn’t feel so high. 

Bleed through. I know you want to. 

Halaal! Halaal! Halaal!
Goodbye.

released 22 August 2014

Bleed Through - TIJ & LOLA DEMO (feat. DARREN CHILTON) AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW.

New single ‘Bonjour Bonnet’ is released through Skingasm Records on 15th June. A song about neither fancy headwear, nor the French.

The track is taken from our forthcoming debut album ‘Paunch’ (also 15th June), recorded over two whole days with Greg Webster (Punching Swans) at Sunlight Studios in Gillingham. It follows a run of independently released singles and EPs put out over the past few years and darts between grunge, noise, stoner and psych. 

“Combining lyrical finesse and thunderous riffs, they are an intoxicating blast of raw power” Echoes and Dust.

Live:
Maidstone Fringe Festival 3rd May
London Courtyard Theatre 21st May
Homespun Festival 25th July
w/Wo Fat in a field in France 8th August
