65daysofstatic is back now.
We’ve been away making an album. Now we’ve made it.
It’s called ‘The Destruction of Small Ideas’ and it’ll be released on the 30th April on the awesome Monotreme Records in the UK, Europe and America. The album is coming out a week earlier in Japan on the excellent Zankyo Records, because everyone in Japan will be on holiday the week after.
The tracklisting is this:
1. When We Were Younger & Better
2. A Failsafe
3. Don't Go Down to Sorrow
4. Wax Futures
5. These Things You Can't Unlearn
6. Lyonesse
7. Music is Music as Devices are Kisses is Everything
8. The Distant & Mechanised Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties
9. Little Victories
10. Primer
11. White Peak/Dark Peak
12. The Conspiracy of Seeds
The Cover looks like this:
We tried to make it in a way that would retain it’s dynamic and make it listenable at many different volumes, like records used to be made before it became fashionable to COMPRESS THE FUCK OUT OF THEM, until they’re so loud they sound like a brick wall, but can capture the attention of the average radio listener faced with hours and hours of rubbish, by being that much louder than everything else. Instead we made this so the quiet bits are quiet and the loud bits are loud, and if you turn it up on your stereo you can hear everything in it’s own place. This being a learning experience for us, we had to trust our instincts, but we’re quite proud of what we came up with. Also, Graham and Murray who recorded it are GENII. PLURAL.
Before that comes out, though, ‘Don’t Go Down to Sorrow’ will be released as a single on April the 9th.
The tracklisting is this:
1. Don’t Go Down to Sorrow (Edit).
2. Morning in the Knife Quarter.
3. The Major Cities of the World are Being Destroyed One by One by the Monsters (skin of the horses teeth version).
It looks like this:
A single is a promotional tool aimed primarily at radio stations, the music press and television, as a means of raising the awareness of a band. It's not really aimed at the people who buy it, unless you’re the kind of band who sells so many you make a lot of money. It is an excuse to go on tour. 65daysofstatic don’t really need an excuse to go on tour, because we’ll be doing that for the rest of the year. Cripes!
In conclusion:
It’s been far too long since we were out on the road. We will rectify this shortly. The dates we have confirmed so far are up now. There are already quite a few dates there, and like a collection of past failures, they will be added to. Also, new photos from both the times we went to Japan are in the Pictures section of the Media link on this very website. The 65 Japanese Tour Diary (as serialised by Drowned in Sound), can be found in the Scribblings section. New t-shirts, new music, new tour dates, new everything, will follow shortly.
65 is officially GLAD TO BE BACK.
