Release Notes:
A. Human are the new breed. Dirty. Strange.
Slightly deranged. And very real. Be prepared to
get hooked on their full on electro-androgyny rock
fronted by a Shakespearean-esque storyteller singer
who tells tales of fantasy and reality in the same
sex fluid dripping breath. One thingÆs for sure -
A. Human arenÆt for the dicky hearted but, like all
addictively hedonistic things in life, thatÆs what
makes them so great.
æBlack MoonÆ is the first commercial single from
this London 6 piece, and has become a firm fan
favourite on their recent tour with Art Brut. Live
they are captivating and an entity that shouldnÆt
be missed. Catch them on tour with label mates
Infadels in March û full details below.
ôBlack Moonô introduces you to singer Dave HumanÆs
psycho-monologues about women with knives for hands
and men with deer heads. HeÆs a modern day literary
oddball, and the single ingeniously couples these
musings with deep, pulsing, analogue basslines, and
razorsharp guitars. The b-side ôTrees Swayö
explores the sonic and lyrical darker side of A.
Human. The package is completed by Justus Kohncke
(Kompakt stalwart) who delivers a lush synth laden
minimal excursion, and the Dr Strangelove remix
(Lottie and Pete MartinÆs [Slide of Cass & Slide]
new pseudonym) which jacks everything up for
peaktime floors whilst retaining the full vocal and
analogue melodies. Their live show is a left hook
to the cheek û and itÆs led by Dave who pulsates
into every bewildered crowd member like some new
age Michael Hutchence on Viagra. HeÆs a master at
capturing a crowd, ôThe band creates the atmosphere
and I tell the story and thatÆs what itÆs about.
The emotion and the performance that they give
really puts it in me to go out there and the bigger
the live acts get the more excited I get. When IÆm
off stage and I look back at everyone itÆs a solid
unit and itÆs a sexy thing. IÆve got too much going
on in my body so I have to get rid of it - itÆs
like a nervous twitch.ö
The debut album æThird Hand ProphecyÆ is finished
and coming on May 5th. ItÆs an 11 tracker of synth
and bass laden shock ænÆ roll thatÆs ready to
assault dancefloors. A. Human, as a package, are as
real as a slap in the face. Distinctly odd, a bit
over the top, whatever the label - this is one band
that wonÆt, and shouldnÆt, be ignored.
