A self-described "psychedelic power trio
specializing in zone-out progressive pop
musik," Twinkranes dare to be different.
Spektrumtheatresnakes, their debut
album, is triple-pronged, hammer-action
psychedelia driven by tribal motorik,
barking mad synthesisers, loose
connections, dead ends and choppy
waters. If you like Silver Apples,
Wooden Shjips, car chases, krautrock and
mind-bending grooves, you're going to
love this.
Hailing from Dublin, the trio comprises
Anto, aka Blonde Fox (Vocals & drums),
Rooster (guitars & tape manipulation)
and Ray, aka Auburn Spinner (Korg
synthesizer, rhythms and soundscapes).
Together, they take influence equally
from dance music and the weirder wings
of pop history. "We love krautrock and
prog but beyond the classics we think
there's a lot of great music that would
have been better if it had been
processed in a pop way. That's what
we're doing. The album as a whole is
really us exploring the psychedelic
world like a baby snake opening its eyes
for the first time and checking what's
around."
Recorded over three days in November
2008 at London's Press Play Studios
(owned by Stereolab's drummer and used
frequently by the band) the album was
co-produced by Rick Tomlinson, aka Voice
Of The Seven Woods, and engineered by
Jimmy Robertson (Florence & The Machine,
Last Shadow Puppets). "It's the first
electronic production that Rick has
worked on," says Anto. "He gave it a
nice authentic sound harking back to
those seminal '7os Krautrock records -
'dry but driving," you might say."
The trio formed around three years ago,
a classic story of "boy meets boy meets
boy," according to the band, and have to
date released two killer 7" singles:
Plateau and Being Kong. Welcomed into
Andy Votel's B-Music collective,
Twinkranes joined the Migrating-Caustic
-Mutable tour of the UK and Europe in
the summer of 2008. Highlights of their
career so far include performances at
Barcelona's Primavera Sound, Ireland's
Electric Picnic and Belfast's
Oscillation festival plus a track (Being
Kong) featured in the latest Rupert
Grint movie Cherrybomb. "All the Harry
Potter heads are well into it," say the
band. "They've been passing the track
round online like an opium pipe..
they're all space rockers at heart
really."
Recently, the band has taken a break
from live performance to concentrate on
the album, and in tightening tracks from
sprawling live versions to the seven
taut blasts of krauty, proggy goodness
spanning this 40-minute masterpiece.
