Jesus H. Corbett I wasnt expecting this. It looks a bit death-rock (judging from the sleeve), but in fact what we have here is something that could have been knocked out by Robert Pollard. Not that thats a bad thing. It's a nice song, slightly psyche in its production, and could even be accused of being a bit Beatles-esque. It's a fairly straight up, unpretentious offering from a promising bunch of chipmunks. Side B isn't bad either, or should I say not Bead etc....
Seattle duo, BEADS release their debut UK single, Evil, through Everybody’s Stalking on Monday 24th May 2010. The single, featuring B-side No-One Knows, will be available on limited edition seven-inch vinyl and digital download.
Written and recorded by brothers Snow and Garnet Keim, BEADS is the sound of rogues relaxing, strumming ten dollar thrift store guitars and telling stories of sweet hope, rotten businessmen, and feral pet dogs you probably should have given away a long time ago. The basement baroque soul rock of BEADS is like a private journal written between riotous nights rocking the clubs on tour and Sunday morning come downs packing up to head out of town.
This haunting first single is "about the loss of innocence. It is a cold hard look in the mirror and the sin of mortality," says Garnet Keim. "This record oozes the life that we lead and events and experiences from our past.
The single Evil will also be the debut release for new Manchester label, Everybody’s Stalking. To accompany the release Everybody’s Stalking will be commissioning a short series of photographs to depict a theme behind the release.
