Description

The Remainder comprise of Blancmanges Neil Arthur vocals, guitar and synthesisers, solo artist Finlay Shakespeare synthesisers and vocals and Liam Hutton drums, guitar and synthesisers. The latter best known for his work with Boxed In, Neneh Cherry and more recently, Young Fathers initiated the writing process back in 2015. There was never a clear brief or definition of the project that we were working towards collectively, he explains. It was always a completely open statement.The trios crisp, glacial rhythms, cascading synths, shadowy psychedelia, absurd humour and lyrical xrays of every day life all feature strongly on their forwardlooking debut album. The hypnotic, beatdriven songs are a way of venting facing up and expressing a strange New positivity in spite of all the darkness. Each song is also linked by interludes created by Liams mother Jo Hutton, a recording engineer and composersound designer of experimental music and sound art.1 Broken Manhole Cover2 Hoarfrost3 Evensong4 The Remainder5 Awake6 Dead Farmers Field7 Lift Music8 Forgotten9 What Do You Want To Want Interludes by Jo Hutton1 Broken Manhole Cover2 Hoarfrost3 Evensong4 The Remainder5 Awake6 Dead Farmers Field7 Lift Music8 Forgotten9 What Do You Want To Want10 Bonus track SoftwhereInterludes by Jo Hutton The Remainder is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £15 +P&P
