The Bludgeon

Ain’t it funny how it worked out?
Well, my friends all had their doubts,
They said that’s the reason why we quit, not the reason why we fit,
Well did it seem to you, all I ever wanted to be used, you must be confused

But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream
But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream

Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me?

Da da da da, Mmmhmm
Da da da da, Mmmhmm

Should’ve known you were trouble way back when, 
I wish I had listened to them, listened to my friends
But I've always been the one to go for the guys who always tell the lies
Wonder if I’ll ever learn or if I’ll ever realise

But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream
But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream

Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me?

Da da da da, Mmmhmm
Da da da da, Mmmhmm

You say you get a lot of attention 
Is that the only reason you’re confessing, 
That you’re over and gone and clearly moving on,
But is there something else that you forgot to mention
I don't want to try and aim to be perfection,
Just for a minute of your time and your affection 
But it’s fine, you’re no longer mine...
I’ve been wondering if you ever think of me?

Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?

In the Middle is the first single to be taken from Rat The Magnificent’s debut album The Body As Pleasure, coming out on the fiercely independent TTWD Records in Spring 2018. 

Featuring Ian Catskilkin of Art Brut/ Future of the Left, Ross Davies and Anna Dodridge of Hot Sauce Pony, RTM are a much darker and more foreboding prospect. 

A motorik stampede of a song In The Middle is an ode to lust and the carnal acts where Anderson sings of the immediacy of desire. 
The video looks at this paradigm, a ritual essay on the bright lights of the flesh and the darkness that can surround such things.
The single’s exclusive 2 b-sides feature Jen Macro (Hurtling, MBV, Graham Coxon, Charlotte Hatherley) on guitar.

“Muscular, fuzz-drenched post-punk” Joyzine
“Stomping, Cramps’ish, punk-blues” Dexter Bentley, Resonance FM
“I’d have no problem with you being my house band” Steve Albini
“The happy vibes take a bit of a kicking” Raw Meat
“Slick, dark and hypnotic” Roadie Reviews
“Dark sensual beats and basslines for this unique take on slacker rock” Clark Kents Rock and Roll Revue
“Something really special” Criminally Underrated Podcast

Written & Performed by Perry M. Anderson, Ian Catskilkin, Ross Davies and Anna Dodridge
Recorded by Brad Hemsell
Mastered by Shawn Joseph, Optimum Mastering

IMPORTANT:

Wine based powertrio from London. A mix of obstinance and oblivion this guitar bass drum unit. Like all the good drinks, the whiskey, the coffee, you need balance in strength.

Open blasted guitar, heavy bass and drums. I’m not saying they ain’t hard work, but nothing good comes without that. No one fucks good without sweating.
