Release Notes:

Promo CD all tracks except track 14 seem to fade out early.

Coming hot on the heels of their recent single the Drumattic Twins are
set to release new album Hammer & Tongs on the 1st June. Being a sneaky
so and so I've had an advance listen and it's...as the kids would
say...a belter. Kicking off with Don't Be So Drummattic (you
remember...the one that sounded like it featured Jonny 5 from Short
Circuit) the album takes in influences as diverse as the Middle East
(Broken Planet) and Old Skool Euro house (the suitably titled Back To
The Old School). Glow sticks ahoy. Any got any Veras?
Sorted...etc...etc.

It's amazing how evocative all of that stuff still is. Without wishing
to sound like a boring bastard the early days of what is generally
lumped together as 'dance music' were incredibly exciting. Granted a
lot of what followed become predicable and formulaic but the Drumattic
Twins (who were Shades of Rhythm in a former life) have a knack for
recapturing that feel good vibe. Away from the old skool influences the
Twins aren't afraid to mix things up a bit though. The most
experimental track on the album, Antique Vinyl (which almost sounds
like an album on its own...there's so much going on in there) starts
off all funky before breaking down into a strings backed female vocal
number that's strangely moving. Shades of Gavin Bryars Jesus Blood.
It's a surprising ending to a surprising album that sounds familiar but
fresh all at the same time...which ain't an easy trick to pull. It's
Hammer time...

Hammer & Tongs is out on June 1st on Finger Lickin' Records.
