Gyratory System have a mighty intriguing 7" out on Angular records, the A side, 'Sea Containers House' harks back to that style of percussive post punk that genuflects in front of the altars of early 23 Skidoo, A Certain Ratio & Pigbag, then runs off into the vestry to piss mutant electroid sax & bursts of demented toytown keyboard all over the floor like a drunken infant. All this occurs whilst this solid wall of fluid repetitive funk captures you hypnotically in its snaky groove. I like the trippy dying seagull effect they pull out of their particular bag of audio spanners on the, even stranger, disjointed flip - they've seemingly got some kind of perverted dystopian rave vision going on, these guys, what with this bleak, haunting synthline intermittently spooking you out and our Ant even suggests it sounds like a mad Eastern European fairground. Really interesting, original stuff!

‘Sea Containers House’ is the first single to be taken from
Gyratory System’s forthcoming debut album ‘The Sound-Board
Breathes’.

Gyratory System create instrumental tracks using what they call ‘The
Process’ – a mixture of a fixed backing tracks married with woodwind
improvisation which is then chopped up and processed in unusual
ways. Yet out of this mysterious birth comes tracks that are as suited
to a dancefloor as they are the world of the contemporary avantgarde.
Their motorik brass and woodwind counterblast to indifference
has let the tongues of the blog world wagging.

“We pace in confinement with a dippy feelings grin in our lips, this is
the off one’s feed of shit that keeps us going” – 20jazzfunkgreats,
“Infinite aural comfort. Four-to-the-floor but oddly unhinged. The
light-year become bored with relic of an general area marching band”
