Here's a 12" from Sheffield's FEEDLE. Instantly I think I've fucked up the needle (which the lads laugh at me for cos its just a noisey
introduction). The electronic instrumental sets off on its course with warpy floating
synths underneath a wall of scratching and noise pollution. Names are being thrown at me like 65 days of Static, Northstation, Lord Aphex Of Twin. Its actually quite a shoe gazy sensitive song but its softness is a window too wide into the soul of Feedle, so he stops you from entering with disturbance and rapid noise moment. B-side starts with a looped John Peel sample then we're back into
Feedles fast electronica which never forgets the ear for melody. The drums fly along at an astounding rate like drill and bass.
Yeah good stuff
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
*THE 12” IS LIMITED TO 1,000 COPIES ALL WITH UNIQUE HAND DRAWN SLEEVES* NOT MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT FEEDLE, APART FROM THE FACT HE'S FROM SHEFFIELD IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND. IT'S BEEN SAID THAT HE'S A DJ WHO CAN'T MIX, A MUSICIAN WHO CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO MAKE MUSIC AND A PERFORMER WHO HATES PERFORMING!!!. ‘SONG FOR DOGS’ IS A SQUEALING, ROARING DISTORTED RACKET UNDERPINNED BY SUBTLE MELODIES WHICH LURK BENEATH A PAINT-SHREDDING CACOPHONY OF FIZZING, LIFE AFFIRMING WHITE NOISE AND DRUMS, WHEREAS ‘HER BRAIN GOES GLOBAL’ IS THE ONLY SONG YOU’LL HEAR THIS YEAR WHICH FEATURES THE VOCAL TALENTS OF JOHN PEEL AND JUDY GARLAND.
