Writing solely as a group so as to allow the blending of each member's widely divergent personalities and influences Moreish Idols laid down the four tracks that make up debut EP Float on a five day stretch in the studio with Speedy Wundergrounds, Dan Carey at the helm.
Following debut single Speedboat, latest track and EP opener, Hangar, started life as a mistake with a chord strummed on a detuned guitar with this happy accident gradually morphing into a song about feelings of disenfranchisement and boredom that comes with the inescapable nature of late capitalism.
Ferociously delivered with an arpeggiating melody, Hangar shifts effortlessly throughout its duration from opening with a swarmatron chordal drone leading to intense revving guitars and frenzied saxophone even switching vocalists with band members Jude Lilley delivering verse while Tom Wilson Kellett takes the chorus.
Discussing the EP Guitarist and Vocalist Jude Lilley comments: "The most exciting thing for us as a band is capturing our performances live, which something Speedy is renowned for. Everything you hear in the EP is us in the room working together as unit - apart from Dyl who recorded his take across the whole EP in one! There’s something really cool about listening back to the takes and realising ‘this is what the room sounded like 5 minutes ago… and that’s us making the noise’. To us "Float" is a collage, and a demonstration of the band putting everything in the mixer and seeing what comes out (lyrics included) and it’s exactly what Dan heard before getting us involved with the label."
