Dual vocalists, Gabriel Stove and Justin Teale, share the lead microphone, each a collective voice, defining the charisma of a band connected through the sonic maelstrom. The ‘Et cetera, etc’ EP was recorded in its entirety on guitarist-saxophonist Adam Ridgway’s family farm in Edwardsville. Bassist Liam Smith and drummer Kye Cherry complete the 5-piece.
Through warbling saxophone solos and electronic ambience a spiritual yin and yang manifest to demonstrate the power of interconnected forces coming together, this philosophy drives the atmospheric energy of the band’s live shows.
Ward 52 by dust
The singles are improvised and innovative, an exposure of the skeletal routes of the conscious plane. Gentle synths swell, and ambient interludes, morph the self into everything else, a harmonic hand into a higher realm. dust eloquently energise, an audible sip into personal potential.
The band have described each track on the e.p:
“The singles taken from the EP -‘Joy ( Guilt )’, ‘Ward 52’ and ‘The Gutter’ illustrate et cetera, etc’ scollage-like nature, including Justin and Gabe’s trade of vocals. Alternator’s wailing saxophone gives an eerie and unexpected edge to the release, tension breaking, frustration easing, growing and firing back up again in time with the story of a broken down car, waiting for roadside assist ten hours from home. ‘False Narrative’ comparatively showcases our warmest melody yet, as a whole transposing the familiar yet introspective energy of King Krule, Aphex Twin.”
What does falling in love sound like? The turbulence of a tentative trumpet player, tumultuous like the trombone? Colourful like the sax? It feels like sipping coffee on a sleep Sunday morning, like a hand waiting to catch you. there is a sense of hope, like the rising crescendo of an orchestra reaching its peak.
Coffee by The Redroom
New release from indie powerhouse The Redroom, ‘Coffee’ explores the effervescent nature of falling in love, through jazz infused instrumentals, new feelings flourish ,the fizz of that first kiss, the grip of the optimistic abyss of not knowing if it’ll happen again, it is the existing of the chrysalis you’re ready to unveil your wings again, this time hopefully they’ll be noticed.
The song itself is metamorphic, showcasing the beginnings of the band and alluding to their future. Vocalist and lyricist Jess Lewis Ward explained that she wrote ‘Coffee‘ when she was 16, during the first lockdown:
“I left it in a back pocket for a few years then circled back to it when the band started to explore a different style of writing. It went through quite a few phases before the final finished product, but I feel like it encapsulates our new sound, alongside my younger self. I guess you could say it’s about young love and feeling love romantically properly for the first time.”
Known for their intricate narratives and roadmaps through humanity, The Redroom release music that boasts a poignant tale, such as their previous release “The Woman From Nowhere”,‘Coffee’ continues on this legacy with it’s complex portrayal of a first love, whilst also exploring a new avenue for the band, one that sets them out to be the on ones to watch list for 2024, especially with their Headline show on September the 1st at iconic Newcastle venue The Grove, celebrating the release of their new single.
Continuing to mesh the old with the new, The Red Room have mastered the art of creating their own multi-genre sound backed by Lewis-Ward’s talent for colourful, witty and insightful storytelling. ‘Coffee’ is the band’s first step into a form of new age indie-pop song writing, combining the likes of layered brass with the band’s signature acoustic sound.
That signature sound comes through with an explosion of energy, there is joy in each lyric, groove in each instrumental and power with leach layered harmonies all punctuated by the keyboard and the saxophone. An eruption of emotion, evocative of the rush you feel when your hand brushes theirs, your eyes hold their stare. Exhilarating and optimistic this song is an audible coffee.
