Jake Ferguson of The Heliocentrics on "In The Middle:"
"We’ve all been big fans of James Brown since we’ve been involved in music and have played ‘In The Middle’ regularly on our live tours. It felt like a natural fit for the Orlando project, particularly as we have added an Afro swing to the track. We first played the track with Orlando at a London gig last year and he got into it in the studio straight away – his sax solo here was the very first take. James Brown and his band loved Orlando when they saw him play in Ibadan back in the ‘60s and the two of them met up and talked at J.B.’s hotel. So, for lots of reasons, this felt like a natural one to include.”

The Light

Kate Bush’s song 'Army Dreamers' was released in 1980, and earned a ban on the BBC eleven years later when the Gulf war erupted. 

The song is now included on Moddi's forthcoming album 'Unsongs' – 12 banned songs from 12 countries – released Friday, September 16 via Propeller Recordings.

W   A   L   L   S
People, can you hear me?
I am wondering why 
One man kills himself 
Million people must die
One man tells lies 
Million people holding flags in the sky 
What about trust?
What about god?
What about allah, allah?
What about love?
What about care?
What about human desire?
What about freedom?
What about justice?
What about peace?
What about choice?
What about life?
What about truce?
Did you forget about that?
Can't u hear it ?
This earth is crying
How many more people have to die until you 
Burn all your flags?
Find silence?
Lay down your guns?
Stop violence?
Remember, we are all made from blood and bones
We are same same but different - what of it?
#🙏

New Band Name, new LP; The former Max Graef Band toured and worked on new music all year. Musical progress, and the impression of not enough edge and rawness in a lot of recent music, inspired and motivated a majority of the recording. The band has grown as a unit and wrote a lot of material together this year in late night sessions. During 2 weeks of recording the new songs in the studio the goal was to try all sorts of instruments, amps and effects and be open to any combination of sounds. Furthermore, they and engineer Lutz Fahrenkrog-Petersen tried to capture and maintain the raw feeling of the live recordings using almost exclusively analog pedals and racks as well as keeping the editing of the recordings to a minimum. Although Bands like Et Cetera (Wolfgang Dauner), Embryo or Xhol have heavily infuenced Max Graef and his band, the result turned out very original ranging from Distorted Jazz-Rock to Experimental Soul, Electronic Percussion Workouts to Free Sound Experiments and Psychedelic Rock. With some tracks being around 14 minutes long, it is better to let the music speak for itself though.
