“The most exciting rock & roll band in the UK right now” - JACK SAUNDERS, BBC RADIO 1
“A tsunami of mega riffs and eardrum-popping bass lines. Definitely don’t want to wear your Sunday best to one of their raucous gigs” - NME
“An absolute tour de force, their boundless energy and breathtaking performance truly sets them apart. By far one of the most thrilling bands you will see in the UK” - LOUDER THAN WAR
Today, (28th November 2024) Yorkshire feral garage-punk band Avalanche Party release new single ‘Shake The Slack’, a commanding, psychedelic-dance track and call to arms. The track features on their forthcoming album ‘Der Traum Uber Alles’ on 7th February via AMK, Kartel Music Group’s alternative music imprint. Listen to ‘Shake The Slack’ here.
Vocalist Jordan Bell speaks on the track, “This is about the noble process of taking the slack and shaking it. Whipping that angel delight into shape. The great reckoning cometh. We took a lot of takes in the studio to get it as crisp as possible, lots of slave-driving going on”.
Guitarist Jared Thorpe adds, “From the birth of the initial idea, this song went around the world four times before it learnt how to speak. It was like a painting that was painted over a hundred times, ripped apart daily for months. It kind of got to the point where it finished itself”.
Avalanche Party have presented morsels from their upcoming album ‘Der Traum Uber Alles’ in recent months in the form of ‘John Coltrane’s Moscow Skyscraper’, ‘Nureyev Said It Best’ and ‘Collateral Damage’ which have seen support from BBC 6 Music, Radio X, DIY & more. Recorded at the hallowed Rancho De La Luna Studio in California’s Joshua Tree with Dave Catching, the LP retains a wild and animalistic essence. If you were to sit it down on the psychoanalyst’s couch, its themes of bloodlust, subversion and incineration might suggest a heavy payload of pent-up aggression being detonated. The record’s first half in particular feels like a sonic exorcism: a 21st century occult primal scream that shifts from the frenzied New Wave of ‘Nureyev Said it Best’ and ‘Shake the Slack’ to the exhilarating war-drum deliverance of ‘Serious Dance Music’ and ‘Collateral Damage’. Pre-order ‘Der Traum Uber Alles’ here.
