- apothecary
now press
release
- Cambridge
band my friend irma
release their second album, titled ‘apothecary now’ in May
2003, featuring the songs ‘Butterfly’, ‘Young
Harridan’, ‘Gimmie Something’ and 8 other cuts.
-
- The
new album was produced by the band themselves at their own fully
analogue studio ‘The Tallow Room’ near Newmarket.
Like the White Stripes’ ‘Elephant’ album, it was
recorded through tubes n’ tape, with not a computer in sight.
-
- 'apothecary
now’ is a finely crafted 11 track offering that perfectly
captures my friend irma‘s
peculiar brand of melancholy… psychedelic soundscapes,
exploratory synthesonic gurgles & burps and chainsaw guitars,
laced with bittersweet fallen angel vocals.
-
- Entertaining,
moving, perplexing, taxing, some of these new songs have you tight
in their grip whilst others put you somewhere else completely!
Some albums you can let wash over you… Using only one
style, you can suddenly come to from a waking sleep and find that
you’re into the final track having missed the other 9.
They were there you just didn’t listen. ‘apothecary
now’ has a dynamic, a set of changes that can jar you into
consciousness.
