Ghostnotes: Daddy's Got A Gun

Here Comes The Flood — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:29:00 GMT

Torre Florim has put up an example of on-the-fly songwriting on Ghostnotes:

This was made on a summer night, somewhere in 2010. One of those songs that just ‘happened’.

While I was trying out some new gear in the studio, Jaap, Lea and Jop dropped in. I had a beat, Jaap grabbed the bass, the devil posessed Lea and next thing I know we had a song.

Recorded in our old dusty farm.

Lea: vocals & lyrics
Jop van Summeren (De Staat): vocals
Jaap van den Berg (Black Bottle Riot): bass, guitar
Torre Florim (De Staat): drums, guitar

Johnny5thWheel&thecowards: "Nancy" b/w "In My Laboratory"

Here Comes The Flood — Tue, 15 May 2012 18:28:00 GMT

Johnny5thWheel&thecowards (yes, that's one word) are an UK steampunk band who like to dress for the occasion. It is a collective, with songwriter Richard Lomax as the sole permanent member.

On their new single Nancy b/w In My Laboratory, they mix vaudeville with alt.folk tunings. Johnny5thWheel&thecowards sound like an old fashioned cabaret band tearing it up on a tiny outside stage that has been set up on the lawn in front of a dilapidated mansion. The suns sets, there's plenty of booze and the clouds are coming in. Something nasty is bound In the Laboratory of the owner who seemed a bit odd but harmless. For now everything seems quite alright. O, and the fine young lady's name isn't Nancy.

Recommended if you like Spottiswoode & His Enemies, Pulp, and the early Seventies incarnation of the Kinks.

Nancy b/w In My Laboratory drops is on June 25th on Sotones.

Live dates:

05/18 Mad Ferret, Preston
05/26 The Oakwood, Glossop
06/24 GlastonFerret Festival, Preston
06/29 Mixtup Showcase, Amsterdam (Richard Lomax solo))
06/30 Mixtup Showcase, Amsterdam (Richard Lomax solo)
09/15 Southsea Fest, Southsea
10/20 Bent Brief, Southampton

Wooden Constructions: People Now People

Here Comes The Flood — Fri, 11 May 2012 14:41:00 GMT

photo: Luiza Ongelofelijk

Amsterdam based post-punk disco house band Wooden Constructions took their time putting together their new album People Now People. They released two free tracks over the last couple of months to get a buzz going. It's quirky and all over the place: a bit of the Talking Heads, Sisters of Mercy, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pavement, Television and then some. Try dancing to it and you wil be on the wrong foot before you know it.

People Now People is an album mashing up jangly guitar pop with a stuttering back beat that is hard to transcribe. If schizophrenic post.rock was a musical genre (well, it is now), Wooden Constructions have made a landmark album.

People Now People is released on Subroutine Records. Digital (pay-what-you-want) thru Bandcamp.

Bombay Show Pig: Vulture/Provider

Here Comes The Flood — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:32:00 GMT

Dutch rock band Bombay Show Pig started out as trio, but ended up as a duo after their singer and keyboard player walked out. His leaving turned into a blessing in disguise for Mathias Janmaat (vocals, guitar, samples) and Linda van Leeuwen (vocals, drums, samples, keys) who had to reinvent themselves while recording their Vulture/Provider album at Kytopia in Utrecht, an analog safe haven for musicians that is constantly buzzing with activity. If they needed help or wanted to use an instrument, all they had to do was ask.

Van Leeuwen's voice is a bit more poppy than Janmaat's, but their vocals can blend together quite nicely. Vulture/Provider has a 4AD feel: experimental and catchy rolled into one. High energy songs (Sharp Like), percussion driven odd ball tunes (On A Plane) or slightly psychedelic (Fingerprint), it's all there and more. This pig can't fly , but it can sure as hell play.

Vulture/Provider is released on Kytopia Records.

Tracks:

Sancho Panza
Shackles And Chains
On A Plane
Heart In A Headlock
Start / Rewind
Fingerprint
Stuck In My State Of Mind
Timewaster
Sharp Like
Ill Intention
Wires
Making Friends

Live dates:

Sounds Haarlem (15:00)
