    First new music out there in a while, this is one of my tunes from my band's new record... had a couple of overdubs to do all through lockdown and just got them done last week/ finished the mix on Friday. Bonus video commissioned by a mental health arts charity with footage from some classic local b-movies they somehow got permission to use!

    • i like that a lot. i'd have brought in the final guitar much earlier... just feel the first half needs soemthing more happening...hans_glib
    • agree, there will be a radio edit...a label wanted it for a 12" so i extended it Cure style before we tracked but 24w lead time on vinyl fucked that enterprisekingsteven
    • It's really nice, vocals are ace. Video also great.fadein11
    • God is this ever dope. Nicely done!mantrakid
    • I like this a lot. I am reminded of Cavern of Antimatter. Ace vid too!MrT
    • Heh! I played before CoM at green man and Tim Gane bummed a fag off me while watching Michael Rother from the wings and I nearly exploded I am such a fankingsteven
    • CoAM! it was the first time Tim had seen Rother live which was nuts as Stereolab totally introduced me to NEU 30 years previously :)kingsteven
    • Love this! The vocals are indeed ace. Great drummer too.mort_
    • Ye the drums, bass and most of the guitars are one take. I had a camera on James (drummer) was threatening to make it the video...kingsteven
    • He's in a full Hummel tracksuit tho, not quite the same vibe hakingsteven
    • Wow. This is f'ing cool. It sounds like something that might have been a Primal Scream Exterminator B-Side...mg33
    • ... I'm sure that comparison is weird... but that groove at the beginning reminded me of them quickly. Such a great tune!mg33
    • heh, cheers mg - vanishing point-> XTRMNTR their best work IMO. random trivia: the track i posted below "love as a ghost" was recorded on the Primal's unusedkingsteven
    • studio time for More Light and originally mixed (the LNT version is kind of a remix) at the same time as that (admittedly pretty damn good) record.kingsteven
