Gentle Friendly - Night Tape

Gentle Friendly are David (vocals, keys) and Daniel (drums, organ). They found some high grade coffee and a drum kit in a skip in their adopted home of Peckham, South London. Matching these with some antique keyboards and samplers, they began to play songs in their basement until their neighbors chased them overground with knives. Night Tapes was recorded in early 2008 on a makeshift studio during a five day retreat to a countryside cottage. The tracks meld cutting keys and rolling drums with a backdrop of loops and feedback, transcending their influences (“anything screw'd & chop'd”) to create something gleefully disjointed and chaotic. Since the recording they’ve honed their live show to a perfect outburst of organized chaos, playing with the cream of US talent (HEALTH, Ponytail, AIDS Wolf, Telepathe, Indian Jewelry). 500 being made, we get 450...best be quick...
