Gallops GallopsThe Machines Are WinningDeath Square, released 27 September 20221. Death Square2. Death Square (worriedaboutsatan Remix)Gallops unveil ‘Death Square’, the second in a series of single releases showcasing the instrumental trio's assimilation of technology as a de facto fourth band member.'Death Square' feels more intimate than 'Boolean Who?' - its massive, high energy predecessor. Here shimmering synths are gradually overlaid with intricate rhythmic elements and arpeggiating figures before a whip-cracking gear-shift takes 'Death Square' on the road for a spacewave drive powered by a precision engine and expert dynamic swerves into acidic territory. Despite such mechanistic smarts, the seven-minute track cuts a lithe, organic groove – rich sustenance for a night when you'd rather not see the dawn."Death Square's parent series originated before lockdown," says Mark Huckridge, "back when memories remained fresh of innovative audio-visual performances centring on work from 2017's much-praised Bronze Mystic album." Huckridge clarifies: “Lockdown shut me down creatively and it was only towards the end that the juices were flowing and I opened up these projects again. I found I was coming back at them from a different perspective, and possibly a darker one.”That change of perspective included the relegation of the guitar as primary composition instrument in favour of studio experiments with modular synthesis and machine learning tools such as Magenta. 'Death Square' features human voices more prominently than in the past, with Gallops previously preferring to bury them deep or transmogrify vocals into rhythm.This interplay between machines and musicians, technology and humanity, is a major thread weaving through Gallops' work, from using their home studio as an instrument to the organic ooze created by visual artist Sky Ainsbury in response to their work to how this relationship will further evolve in the live arena.

Look Me In The Eye5. She was Here6. Single Day7. Search Party8. Chill Wind9. Home Lies Onwards10. The Tax Advantages Of A Slow, Lingering Death11. Helen Lane12. It's My Country As WellFollow The Gleam.These words come from a line in Empty Chair, and ended up as the title of the whole album, fighting off all the other contenders by virtue of being the least bad one. Then, having googled the phrase, I found to my slight dismay that it featured prominently in a Tennyson poem, and had gone on to become a revivalist hymn, all long before I ever had the idea. I must have come across it and then forgotten about it.Still, it fits the content of a lot of the songs quite well because they deal with obsessions. Empty Chair’s protagonist is suffused with a debilitating nostalgia that finally unseats his reason. She Was Here tracks someone pursuing a lost love intemperately. Search Party is about a stubbornness that isolates you from all attempts at rescue. And It’s My Country As Well homes in on a chance encounter between the Empty Chair tramp and someone at an earlier stage of anomie. Swans Flying touches on a life blighted by loss, while Home Lies Onwards says that enchantment can never be recaptured but might return of its own accord if you walk away from it. Look Me In The Eye is about someone who wants the truth, however bitter or destructive. All these types are following gleams in their different ways, for better or worse.

Hand In HandIn 1985 my sister and I went with my Dad to buy an Alfo Romeo from his friend. Driving off there was a tape left in the player, Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits. I was 9 and Money For Nothing introduced me to the electric guitar. A couple of years later the same mate gave me my first guitar, a Hofner acoustic, and off I went on the road of music. Dire Straits were my first band and through the love of Mark Knopfler's guitar I persevered on my Hofner. Hand in Hand is one of the first songs I learned to play and sing when I was about 14.Cue July 2021 and Gareth is visiting from Pennsylvania. We always make some music when we get together, and so decide to record two tunes from the Making Movies album in my front room with our friend Rob on piano. So, we record Romeo & Juliet and Hand In Hand live, as a kind of virtual 7" single harking back to 1980. Romeo and Juliet is the A side and Hand in Hand is the B side.The artwork, by Kirsten McTernan, is based on that idea of a 7 inch single from the early 80s - black and white photos on the yellowing sleeve. I wanted it to look a bit like the Making Movies cassette I used to listen to with my granddad in the car when I was about 10. I still have the tape! Platform: Bandcamp Signup for Free.
