To describe 65daysofstatic is not an easy task. Indeed, most who have tried can merely hint at the depths these guys reach with their wide-open sounds, melding seamless guitar shapes with ferocious drum ‘n bass styled beats, live drums and c-c-c-computer g-g-g-g-glitch. A soundtrack to a new dimension, where rock, dance and electronica are equals. A refreshing glimpse into the future at a time when the music industry has arguably been far too obsessed with all things retro. To describe a 65daysofstatic live show is an even harder task. Viciously euphoric, frenetic, overwhelming, bordering on chaos and really, really loud. It’s what the band thrive on and how they win armies of new admirers every time they go out on the road. Following the release of their hugely acclaimed debut album The Fall Of Math in 2004, 65daysofstaic spent several months touring the UK, playing to packed venues and festival tents. They recorded three radio sessions for BBC Radio 1 - for the late John Peel, Zane Lowe and a live from Maida Vale Studios 40-minute set for Huw Stephens. They were also 'artists in residence' on John Kennedy's XfM X-Posure programme. 'One Time For All Time' was written on and between tours and is a mixture of confusion, guilt, exhaustion and anger. Furious drum'n'glitch beats collide with walls of guitar noise, broken laptop clicks and tranquil pools of piano. There are still no words. The band are still trying to articulate all that stuff that no-one's really invented words for yet. Senses are pulled in every direction - this is not a happy album - yet the overall effect remains an uplifting experience… Go here to listen to some mp3s from the album. 65's debut ep, ‘stumble.stop.repeat’, a limited 1000 copy release on their own Dustpunk Records label quickly sold out and earned them acclaim from both press and radio in a variety of countries. The release of their first full-length album, 'The Fall of Math', looks set to build on their reputation as a band to watch for people who want to hear what the future frontiers of music hold in store. A forthcoming radio session for cutting-edge DJ John Peel and a variety of press accolades for the album point toward a promising future, in which the boundaries of music will be stretched futher, and open-minded music fans will reap the rewards. www.65daysofstatic.com |
