Slow Down Lover

Formed in 2008 by vocalist Rachael guitarist/bassist David, Tics started to demo material with a view to recording an E.P. They started working with one of David's previous collaborators Pete Pick, as the main lyricist. Pete's unique style, coined the phrase "Post Ironic" (a reaction to the labelling that seems to dominate late 20th and early 21st century popular culture). His lyrics were very much drawn from Rachael's life experiences, and were personalised with additional words from her.&#13;
Looking for a suitable producer, they enlisted the talents of Russell Simins founding member and drummer of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, who has also worked with Tom Waits, Elliott Smith, Yoko Ono, DJ Shadow,  Beck,  Chuck D, Fred Schneider (B-52's) and Tiny Masters of Today, Harper Simon (Paul Simon's son). Russell met Tics at a Tiny Masters show in Brighton and after hearing demos was suitably impressed.&#13;
The resulting songs 'New Gun'and 'Margins' were recorded in New York with Russell producing. After successfully completing the recording, they returned to Brighton and recorded a demo of 'Slow Down'. The band parted company with Sam and started to move in a new direction, using more technology, and became effectively a duo. The resulting tracks 'Fizz' and
'Slow Down Lover' are the the last tracks recorded, as the band have been pursuing other projects.
