Moreish Idols – All In The Game

Description

Falmouth-formed Moreish Idols return with details oftheir highly anticipated debut album All In TheGame, out 7th March on Speedy Wunderground. Thealbum follows their recent singles Pale Blue Dot andSlouch (with the former marking the labels 50th 7single), which have seen the band earn plaudits fromthe likes of NME, CLASH, DIY, Dork, Wonderland,and BBC Radio 6 Music.

Moreish Idols have carved out a unique position forthemselves in the burgeoning London scene.Whereas their debut material showcased a restless,jerky, jagged and rhythmically centred sound that borethe influence of energetic post-punk, their second EPshowcased an entirely different side to the band. Thisevolution saw the group stitch together a looserconstellation of ideas, combining swooning tremologuitars, prickly melodic riddles, erudite saxophoneimprovs, and flexible rhythms, sounding like Watery,
Domestic-era Pavement one second and the bucolicCanterbury Scene the next, but always, always likeMoreish Idols most of all.

All In The Game is filled with Dan Careys eccentricproduction ideas, largely inspired by the concept oftime. For the title-track, Carey asked Humphreys toplay the same saxophone part at different tempos,recording onto tape which was itself moving at
different speeds. He also suggested splitting one ofthe demo tracks in half, with the first half played as theopening track Ambergrin, and the second as theslower, less saturated outro Times Wasting:designed to sound like a memory of the former. A nod
to their debut EP Float which can be played on acontinuous loop the return of the track in this moreethereal, ghostly form captures how ideas, stories andobservations are changed by the process ofremembering.
