Here Is Too Near

So Many Animal Calls are pleased to announce the release of the free download track 'My Blood's Not Mine', taken from their second EP, Burden, due for release via Bloc+Music on 26th May 2014. 

Burden sees the Glasgow based four-piece make a welcome return after the release of their 2011 debut EP, Eulogy. While Eulogy highlighted the raw, visceral skills of a young talented band, on Burden we see a marked progression in their sound - a more mature sound mixing abrasive alternative rock with layered moments of technical excellence.

Opening track and forthcoming single, ‘From The Sick Bed’, kicks-off proceedings beautifully as So Many Animal Calls illustrate their ability to write solid, sing-along pop-rock songs encased within a song structure that edges towards prog territory. Emotionally charged lead vocals are intensified by relentless drumming and chiming guitars as the track undulates between the quiet/loud dynamic to great effect. Second track, ’My Blood’s Not Mine’, showcases everything that is good about So Many Animal Calls - technical guitar pieces, dreamy vocals and time changes galore display an impressive depth to a band who offer far more than the sum of their parts.

The Glaswegian foursome, consisting of Sean McKenna (vocals, guitar), Ross Stewart (guitar, vocals), Ross Coll (bass) and new member Sam Leighton (drums) with previous drummer Martin Johnston featuring on the EP, recorded Burden with producer Bruce Rintoul (Twin Atlantic, We Were Promised Jetpacks) and the EP was mastered by Carl Saff (Joanna Gruesome, Braid, Speed Ortiz). Drawing on influences that range from The Cure to Motion City Soundtrack, the band have produced a record that would legitimately sit alongside contemporaries like The Get Up Kids, The Promise Ring and Death Cab For Cutie.

Their dynamic sound has also seen the band gain support from the likes of Artrocker, Drowned In Sound, Jim Gellatly, The Herald and Huw Stephens as well as picking up support slots with the likes of Little Comets and The Xcerts and sharing a stage at Rockness with Friendly Fires.

Burden is due for release on 26th May 2014 via Bloc+Music.

 Mack Rice, Ride Sally, Ride.  Performed by Rockin' Shirley
"Mustang Sally" is an R&B song written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965.[1,,,It gained greater popularity when Wilson Pickett covered it the following year on a single, a version that was also released on the 1966 album, The Wicked Pickett.[4

According to music historian Tom Shannon the song started as a joke when singer Della Reese wanted a new Ford Mustang. Rice called the early version "Mustang Mama" but changed the title after Aretha Franklin suggested "Mustang Sally".[5]    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_Sally_(song)

Bob Seger, "Mainstreet", performed by Rockin Shirley
"Mainstreet" is a song written and recorded by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band. It was released in April 1977 as the fourth single from the album Night Moves. The song peaked at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and has since become a staple of classic rock radio. The song also reached number-one in Canada.[1]

Seger has stated that the street he was singing about is Ann Street, just off Main Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he grew up. There was a pool hall there where they had girls dancing in the window and R&B bands playing on the weekends.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstreet_(song)

His unique style fits right in with Rebel Yard’s mission to provide a platform for diverse and versatile artists to release cutting edge music. By adding young producers with raw potential like Jurab to their repertoire, Rebel Yard continues to establish itself in genre-bending future of dance music labels.

Back in 2014, Chris & Matt had the great idea to find cheap flights and go away on a trip. Unfortunately they couldn't find any and instead they booked a session at Rich's studio, Snug Recording Co. Rich was quickly coerced into drumming and out of the session emerged The Four Fours!

Chris, Matt & Rich were (at some point or other) part of math rock wonder band You Slut (apologies for the potty-mouth). YS did a Maida Vale session for the BBC, toured Europe and their album Critical Meat sold out in Japan (making 100,000 Yen, about 500 quid). The Four Fours’ name doffs its cap to the time signature shenanigans of their former outfit. Plus originally there were three of them. Good segue… three became four when Col joined the band in 2018 and took over bass duties, freeing Matt up to sing and dance.

The band play up in your face rock, with a garage feel and pop sensibilities, think QOTSA meets The Clash.
