REPOSE 066LP
|
Third full-length from Somerset trio Henry Blacker, follow-up to 2013's Hungry Dogs Will Eat Dirty Puddings (REPOSE 045CD) and 2015's Summer Tombs (REPOSE 045LP). As with the first two Riot Season is again taking on the release. Henry Blacker formed because there's nothing to do in Somerset. They formed because the other band they play with (Hey Colossus) rehearse in London and they wanted a band they didn't need to travel the width of the country to jam with. This nine-song, 40-minute record lyrically covers the downtrodden, shaking them with lysergically gloopy riffs of both the upbeat and downbeat nature. It is perfectly suited for 30 people in a bar having a night of pints. Or a packed venue in some exotic hot spot full of characters having a night of white wines. Or would sit nicely soundtracking a person at home secretly having a night of cans alone, drowning their misery under the weight of an eight-pack of European strength lager. Inspiration comes from all the desert rock bands and angular punk rock bands that always get listed on these things, you can imagine. Bands that list bands on these things and want you to think they sound like them are ridiculous. They did recently get included on Bandcamp's "Top Ten UK Noiserock bands", but that list didn't include Drunk In Hell so it's not to be trusted. This record was recorded in Bristol and Barton St David by Ben Turner. Look up Barton St David, it's in the middle of nowhere and it's really lovely. It's also where Henry Blacker rehearse. It's got it all, and biscuits on top. Housed in 350gsm printed sleeve; Includes download code; Edition of 300.

REPOSE 045CD
|
Henry Blacker (featuring members of Hey Colossus and Reigns) have been up and down the country and into Europe relentlessly since 2013, three times playing twice in a day, slamming heads in doors, raging left and right. Touring their 2014 debut, Hungry Dogs Will Eat Dirty Puddings, and road testing the tunes that make up LP two: Summer Tombs. Recorded in one brutal day, one voice-box-shredding day. Westminster Brown (Part Chimp) at the desk, South London, September 2014. Tunes are more complex, more speed, more frustrated, with the same vocal mangle and rhythmic splat. Seven tracks, 29 minutes, set to cruise control and ride. Summer Tombs was released on vinyl on Record Store Day 2015 (REPOSE 045LP); this expanded CD version includes the album plus all eight tracks from Hungry Dogs Will Eat Dirty Puddings. Card sleeve CD limited to 500 copies worldwide.
