Excerpts From Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of Rabbit Paths Rats On Rafts SKU: FIRELP587 Barcode: 809236158710 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire Records Released Date: 29th January 2021 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info The third album from Dutch punk-laced noiseniks adds new maturity and a conceptual feel that pulls the extremes of their sound together. A psyche-fuelled journey into the id punctuated with rhythmic kabuki modal mood swings, thunderstorms, digital beeps, traffic noise, and just plain old beautiful cacophonous reverb-drenched sound when needed. The ‘third chapter’ refers to the last five years that the Dutch band have spent creating their “difficult” third album. Each song spins a yarn; there are plagues, dreams, wind and fire, ‘mythical’ characters, and the search for the secret government warehouse. Lead single, Tokyo Music Experience, resonates with a conveyor belt-propelled modal guitar, reflecting the halcyon days of Japanese super-productivity; a mesmerising mantra, infected with news bulletin on-the-hour bleeps underlining its time-sensitive nature; a pristine super-commercial anthem to drive loyalty and reinforce solidarity with the party! Having been described as creating “underground noise with a bracing, warped pop appeal” (Mojo), their new album is a coming-of-age post-classic with a unique worldview – inspired by Van Dyke Parks (Song Cycle) Scott Walker (3 & 4), Moondog (Elpmas), White Noise (An Electric Storm) and Beach Boys (Smile). If their previous effort (Tape Hiss) was their very own sketch of a sketch for an incomplete concept album, a noisy reaction to their previous life, then ‘Excerpts From Chapter 3..’, with all its interlaced intricacies, is the realisation of their transition from punk-spiked-pop to psyche-pop protagonists. Evolving, testing, infectious… “They’ve mapped out a whole new territory to explore.” The Quietus “Often totally enveloped in a cacophony of noisy abrasions that transition from one track to the next.” AllMusic “Rats On Rafts is a band that takes no prisoners and who plough their own distinctive furrow and for that they have to be congratulated” Louder Than War Artist Rats On Rafts Genre Rock And Pop Label Fire Records Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Side A 1.
