Eclectic, eccentric and ironic, British alt-rock with complex percussion, driving bass line, stirring horn section and powerful buildup is some of the latest ‘prehistoric future music’ from new album Small Country Eclipse.
The God in Hackney are Nathaniel Mellors, Andy Cooke, Dan Fox and Ashley Marlowe, variously based in Los Angeles, Hampshire, New York & Brighton. On The Pub Machine The horn part is provided by Kelly Pratt from Portland, Oregon. With highly original sound that defies description, a central theme seems to be a troubled society, particularly in Britain dealing with its political, identity and evolution. Their new album, following the previous, Cave Moderne, is described by them as “reflecting on the perils of nationalism, eschatological cannibalism and experimental popular music”, Proxima as “dying stars and how to work from home during the apocalypse”, and Pub Machine mischievously labelled “neo-pagan sun worship in advance of neo-terrorism during a post-Brexit all-nighter following a good old-fashioned lock-in preceding a revisionist hangover (3 days).” Out on Junior Aspirin Records and is also available on Bandcamp.
