65DAYSOFSTATIC, RALPHCORE AND MYSTERY MEAT....

ORGAN ALBUM OF THE WEEK @ www.organart.com

65DAYSOFSTATIC - One Time For All Time (Monotreme) - They have a sound all of their own now, an instantly recognisable sound, an unmistakable fingerprint, this could only be 65Daysofstatic - they're established already. Opening doors and setting standards with their glitching starlight and their flickering textures. Last year's debut The Fall Of Math was a revolutionary leap forward for everyone, this year we kind of know what to expect.This year we expected a lot, we've got it. Heavy touring has built on their towering reputation, they are the biggest genuine word of mouth band out there. There has been no hype, this is how it really works, people organically telling others - you have to hear this band (and you do, you really do have to hear this band!). If you haven't caught the glories of Sheffield's 65days yet then you need to think somewhere near the restrained moody musical adventure of Radiohead through a refined glitching post-rock drum 'n bass(ish) filter, uplifting heart-warming mood shifting beauty, towers of radiant musical hope and prog rock in the real real sense. Progression, a break down of rock's convention, street symphonies, instrumental inner city flickering - epic. They don't actually sound that difficult or complex, they're clever and oozing with warmth and imagination. It's simple, beautifully simple - “There are still no words. The band are still trying to articulate all that stuff that no-one's really invented words for yet”. They say this is not a happy album, they say it's a mixture of guilt, exhaustion and anger - if it is then it's beautifully uplifting positive anger (anger is an energy). Glorious glitch, white noise guitar walls, broken laptop clicks and soothing tranquil pools of reflection and bits amongst the furious noise that are as delicate as the first snowflakes. It's not dance or rock or post this or glitch that or drum 'n bass now, it's just 65Daysofstatic - a beautifully glorious uplifting thing that you really do need to share.The musical goal posts just shifted again. www.65daysofstatic.co.uk / www.monotremerecords.com

Meanwhile hey, here’s something (from Ralphcore)
“Would it be considered a 'piss take' if I were to ask you to help me out (promotions-wise) with my Kill Kenada, Mystery Meat, Optimist Club gig that is to happen next wednesday!?!?? If you could pass this on - i will be forever indebted to you”

What on earth are you on about Ralphcore! We’d buy you pints all night for putting such a fine fine bill together! (if only we weren't banned from the venue!) Here it comes.........

Title: Kill Kenada @ Purple Turtle 5/10/05

text: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

stylings of:

Kill Kenada
Mystery Meat
Optimist Club
The Trust Fund

all of this hearty rock goodness for just £5 or £3 with a flyer

Now what Ralphcore hasn’t told you is that Kill Kenada are extremely tasty and that Mystery Meat (who in turn turn out to be Ex-Ikara Colt bassist Tracy Bellaries, Blood Valley front-man Alex Lindsay and ex-Beachbuggy drummer Adrian, risen from the ashes of their old bands to form Mystery Meat) are a heavier Ikara Colt with scuzzy guitars and ear shattering drums, "this band are most certainly not chicken” and OPTIMISM CLUB are so good we got to name drop Cardiacs in a review of the other day..... The Purple Turtle is in Camden, Lndon, right by Mornington Crescent tube station....

OK, you can find lots more ofthis every week over on the ORGAN website at www.organart.com - meanwhile the OCTBER print version of ORGAN MAGAZINE just hit the streets............
