"BALLAD OF JOSEPH MERRICK EP" - 28 JUNE 2010 - SATELLITE OF LOVE
'It is as if Neil Young had played for Spacemen 3 while drinking sangria in a Tapas Bar' Vice Magazine
Watch video for EP track "Valley of Abra" here:
Comprising of three members, the band are Pepo Durantez (lead-vox and rhythm guitar) Pascal Hoerner (lead guitar, backing vox and bass) and Renoi Jacob Mathieu(drums and percussion), and 'Ballad of Joseph Merrick' is their debut EP. Recorded in Barcelona, just two days after the band saw Neil Young, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Deerhunter, and Michael Nyman play at the infamous Primavera Sound Festival, the recordings capture the bands live dynamic. Produced by New York born Dave Bianchi, described in La Vanguardia as an "Unusually brilliant producer" and mastered by Kelly Hibbert, who's work includes mixing for J-Dilla and Guilty Simpson, the EP's sound has already been perfectly summarized by Vice as 'Syd Barrett sound tracking a spaghetti western, i.e. eccentric, reverb-heavy, dreamy pop music.'
