RELEASE DATE
11/4/2022
Experimental post-punk outfit
Girls In Synthesis
are set to release the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2020's incendiary debut,
Now Here's An Echo From Your Future
(HARB 206CD/LP/S-LP). Entitled
The Rest Is Distraction
and available via the band's own label Own It, its mix of fractured guitar, crushing drums and bass, intense vocals and lyrical content create as challenging a record as you will hear this year. Formed in 2016, Girls In Synthesis are
John Linger
(bass, vocals),
Jim Cubitt
(guitar, keys), and
Nicole Pinto
(drums). The trio's double A-sided debut single
The Mound/Disappear
came out in the early part of 2017, and since then they have established themselves as the most forward thinking, viscerally challenging band around with unmissable live shows that continue to excite and astound in equal measure. Recorded last year amidst the uncertainty of continuous lockdowns as a result of the global Covid-19 pandemic,
The Rest Is Distraction
is far darker in content than its predecessor. Mainly exploring internal and mental struggles as opposed to external current affairs, it focuses on the claustrophobia of emotional anguish and continues to bravely delve into previously un-ventured topics. Featuring frequent collaborators
funkcutter
and
Stanley Bad
on horns and violin, respectively, two songs also see
Eleni Poulou
, ex-
The Fall
, on keyboards. The album was mixed by long-term collaborator
Max Walker
and features stunning landscape photography by
Bea Dewhurst
. The album was mastered in France by
Ayumu Matsuo
. Sonically atramentous and less one dimensional than the band's debut,
The Rest Is Distraction
takes its cues from
Join Hands
-era
Siouxsie & The Banshees
,
Brainiac and Crass
's
Christ The Album
, among others. From the first crackle of electricity on the opening track, to the heart wrenching taped voice-recording on the final outro, this album triumphantly retains every ounce of intensity and vitality that makes Girls In Synthesis the most captivating band to emerge from the UK DIY underground in recent years. Listeners will find
The Rest Is Distraction
a challenging, yet ultimately cathartic listen. Prepare yourselves for a sonic cleansing, Girls In Synthesis style. LP versions available on black vinyl (OWNIT 001LP) and grey vinyl (OWNIT 001COL-LP).
