![]() ![]() Two long songs that are essentially built around one riff each, just battered into submission. This record is by friends of mine from Ommadon and Bismuth, and is just jaw droppingly heavy. ![]() Every now and then I start to think I’m done with heavy stuff and then a record comes out which just floors me and gets me wanting to write heavier and louder riffs. I’m becoming a little obsessed with his stuff.Ģ. This album is just totally flawless and all the superlatives about Scott’s voice are well deserved. I’ve always been aware of Scott Walker but to my embarrassment I’ve only really started listening to him quite recently. Name 5 things you’ve listened to that you’d recommendġ. I’m probably more influenced by bands we play with really, like early on Like A Kind Of Matador changed things for us, and more recently the likes of Ommadon have made us want to push things further. In terms of where we are coming from its older stuff like Hawkwind, Sabbath and the Stooges, along with bands like Mudhoney, Ride, Loop, Tad and all that noisy stuff that came along in the early 90s. It’s not like we ever sit down and decide to rip off anything directly. Nothing specific, more a combination of everything we’ve listened to over the years. Marty joined us in 2011 and that’s really when things kicked off. We formed in 2004, toured and put out a couple of albums and some splits. The line up is Marty on drums/vocals/synths, Chris on guitar and I’m on guitar too. We’re a three piece based in Belfast, Ireland. David, the band’s guitarist, took the time to tell us all about the album, his band, and life in general… Introduce us to Slomatics! So I won’t bother trying – just make sure you get your claws on it and let the band sweep you away. Mixing sheer heaviness, colourful vocals, infectious melodies, atmospheric synths and a real emotional connection to the listener, I simply can’t say enough good things about this record. Future Echo Returns is, basically, a great album.
