The Projects: "Voice Is Glue" is a six track CD collection on Track and Field.Mr Phil got pretty excited about their debut single. On this set they deploy the usual drums, bass and guitars with the addition of an army of keyboards and electronic glockenspiel. Their sound is a cross between the motorik rock of Can, Neu! etc with the vocal harmonies and melodies of the great Stereolab. The bonus on this ep is a Broadcast remix of the second track "Accidents will happen", which is also given a elick by Simon Break.

What their label says...

Ex-members of Stereolab and Comet Gain collide in steamrolling krautpop mini album. Also features a remix from Broadcast.The Projects formed in 2001 after previous pop outings in the likes of Comet Gain, Stereolab and Miss Mend. Their debut single, ‘Entertainment’ received great praise from everyone who heard it. Sonic Youth collaborator, Dan Graham, even provided the image for the sleeve.  Favouring electric pop with an undeniably human heartbeat, the London based 5-piece will make you shake to the repetitive structures of everyday life.  This mini album was recorded in London in 2005/06, and you couldn’t imagine the white noise of distorted guitars and crystal clear choruses evolving anywhere else. The Projects follow the drawings of the post punk architects, translating sociological analysis into pop poetics verging on the nonsensical. Imagine Brian Eno giving Debbie Harry a lift to the local roller skate disco in his convertible, Devo is on the stereo and the sun is definitely shining. “The Projects turn their romance into urgency. The kind of urgency that made Stereolab come to life. The same urgency that would make Ladytron less boring” – Uncut.
