New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Re: Gad Whip - In A Room 12'' EP out NOW on Ever/Never
« on: July 02, 2018, 08:00:39 AM »
Some excellent reviews. Few copies still hanging around,,,
Terminal Boredom :: (click to enlarge)
Via Perte & Fracas (translated to English)
A strange piece of vinyl engraved on one side with four pieces, the other side representing an engraving made by the singer Pete Davies. Members who are not first-time but whose past says nothing. An English band landing on a New York label. Already several albums on the counter but only in cassette version, In A Room being their first vinyl release. And finally, a post-punk that is much more than that, experimental, traviole, surprising, taking old codes but spitting them to their sauce. Welcome to Gad Whip (just the origin of the name is quite a story).
As Gad Whip comes from the north (Yorkshire), the post-punk is invited and the singer speaks more than he sings, The Fall is there. But the horizon is wide and foggy. With bits of synths that float and tinkle short-circuiting sounds, a sharp guitar or drawing voluptuous scrolls, the song / spoken always more intense Davies who breathes anger under the good big voice and a sense of the arrangement which belongs only to Gad Whip. And a funny unpleasant scream in the middle of the Fair Fair Fish tale. But the bass is the central element that leads the ball, round, sometimes dub for a general rhythmic haunting and catchy groove. Four tracks traveling between the late seventies, in the English coldness, its bad fog, splinters of PIL, The Fall, Big Flame and a phlegm all English, a bitter disenchantment of composites manufactured in their corner, sheltered from looks, out of the world and out of time. Listening to their albums shows that Gad Whip has a wide vision of his music and that the quartet is capable of almost anything, the best as the most. In A Room remains a very pleasant snapshot and if the group continues on this inspiration there, Gad Whip can be an entity with the certainly unpredictable but very interesting character.

The new EP of the British experimental band falls once again wonderfully out of the ordinary with their largely uncomfortable, bulky sound, which provokes comparisons to The Fall, early Sleaford Mods or Swell Maps among other things, which also has a vague no-wave influence, a hint of cabbage and psychedelia can not hide. This crude tapestry is an absolutely fitting vehicle for the venomous rants of vocalist Pete Davies, in which he packs clear announcements about current affairs and the grim reality on his own doorstep in extremely surreal-looking lyric.
