Future Pilot AKA/ St Deluxe - Split

Shaped in clean white vinyl this release is for the lovers of drones, loops and fuzz drenched tunes ST DELUXE: are a band that don’t seem to fit with the current “popular” musical movement or what people with no imagination describe as mainstream, nor do they fit the latest semi-retro fad surrounding what’s become an increasingly stale British music scene with too many Major and Indie labels scared to let artists express themselves, and instead rely on playing it safe, churning out the same old same old. What becomes apparent when surfing the psychedelic smacked out experimental noise rock of St Deluxe is they never really feel the need to fit in, and this is what sucks you in and makes them some what more intriguing. A. Festival Of Lights (Future Pilot Aka/ Damo Suzuki) This historic track documents a genuine piece of “instant composing” featuring a live jam across the telephone exchange, Sushil K Dade performs on acoustic guitar in Glasgow whilst Damo Suzuki (Can) listens to the chords ”down the line” from Cologne HQ and responds with his hauntingly poignant, crackly telephone vocals. AA. Crystals (Future Pilot Aka Remix) The Pilot returned to Riverside Studios after almost 15 years… it was here that he cut his first solo 7” … and ironically this remix is probably the last recording to be mixed at Riverside before it closes it’s studio doors before it moves location. AAA. Crystals (St Deluxe) This wild rocker has already drawn comparison to My Bloody Valentine and Swerve Driver at there peak with vocals sunk low in the mix and layers up noisy guitar’s feeding back, soaring out of control, morphing from one pitch to another. AAAA. First Light (St Deluxe Remix) Loop after loop makes this remix a fantastic reminder of “Tomorrow Never Knows” by the Fab Four.
