More goodness from Fence with a split single by Player Piano and Come In Tokyo. The Player Piano side is smashing. Both Brian and me were taken by it on first listen. What does it sound like though? We couldn't decide at all and all we could come up with was it's a great pop song. Nice scratchy guitars in it and it has a real 70's feel......The press release says Bowie and Roxy Music but I can't hear that. Cock knows but it's marvelous. The Come In Tokyo side on the other hand is rather uninspiring to say the least.
ULTRA-LIMITED 7" ON SUNSHINE YELLOW VINYL
This is the fourth
release as part of the Fence Secret 7 collection - a new series of
vinyl, available for free at Fence Club shows. There are a limited
number available from this website and select independent record stores.
This Secret7 title is a split single, with tracks from PLAYER PIANO and COME IN TOKYO.
Player Piano is the nom de plume of Indiana-born, London-fed Jeremy Radway. We’ve been a fan of
his for awhile now - having had him play the past couple of Homegame festivals, up here in Fife. A
talented musician and studio-engineer, Jeremy plays all the instruments on all of his recordings -
drums,
guitar, keys, vocals, handclaps and even backslaps (if it’s going
well). ‘Backwards Invention’ is a rattling glam pomp-pop shimmy, all
Bowie preen and Roxy glisten.
In 2007, Alan Oates (a.k.a.
winsome folk troubadour Little Pebble) traded his acoustic guitar for
an electric, messed up his hair a bit, became friends with
proto-drummer Anna Duffield, and started to write songs as Come In
Tokyo. Together they make the most blistering 3-minute pop you’re
likely to hear in our life. ‘See Saw’ is no exception - a juggernaut of
a tune, replete with filthy riffs, shuddering drums, and jackknife
time- hanges. Easily one of the best live acts on Fence.
