after the much deserved hype and frankly knicker wetting
anticipation that preceded their first two singles 'smodern sleep
over' and 'garden of dance') the two man studio outfit, and ten
strong live act, known as talc, are finally ready to unleash their
debut album on wah wah 45s - the pensively entitled 'sit down
think'.
talc are two grown men that felt the need to write and perform
material that spoke to them, that made them fall in love with
music all over again. after a meeting on christmas day at james
knights' house, over turkey prepared by his good friend nichol
thomson the intrepid pair decided they were full. full of the
usual pop/rock deserts on offer and would make their own recipe.
and so talc were born.
talc put everyday things to music. 'father tomato' is about a
young carrot, who after leaving home gets shot by dustin hoffman.
'modern sleep over' on the other hand is about the love between a
human and her computer, set in the near future. 'kings of the road
' is about riding your bicycle pissed. obvious really.
both knight (dr. fun) and thomson (the gift) draw their influences
from steely dan, buddy miles, the doobie brothers, the beach boys
and frank zappa. but let it not be said that contemporary artists
don't get a look in. they do.
talc are without doubt the most unique and talented outfit we've
come across. they combine lush harmonies, cunning lyricism, genius
song-writing and a uniquely british sense of humour like no-one
else we've seen or heard, and 'sit down think', by rights, should
be heralded as a twisted classic.'
