Falmouth-formed Moreish Idols return with details of
their highly anticipated debut album “All In The
Game”, out 7th March on Speedy Wunderground. The
album follows their recent singles “Pale Blue Dot” and
“Slouch” (with the former marking the label’s 50th 7”
single), which have seen the band earn plaudits from
the likes of NME, CLASH, DIY, Dork, Wonderland,
and BBC Radio 6 Music.
Moreish Idols have carved out a unique position for
themselves in the burgeoning London scene.
Whereas their debut material showcased a restless,
jerky, jagged and rhythmically centred sound that bore
the influence of energetic post-punk, their second EP
showcased an entirely different side to the band. This
evolution saw the group stitch together a looser
constellation of ideas, combining swooning tremolo
guitars, prickly melodic riddles, erudite saxophone
improvs, and flexible rhythms, sounding like Watery,
Domestic-era Pavement one second and the bucolic
Canterbury Scene the next, but always, always like
Moreish Idols most of all.
“All In The Game” is filled with Dan Carey’s eccentric
production ideas, largely inspired by the concept of
time. For the title-track, Carey asked Humphreys to
play the same saxophone part at different tempos,
recording onto tape which was itself moving at
different speeds. He also suggested splitting one of
the demo tracks in half, with the first half played as the
opening track “Ambergrin”, and the second as the
slower, less saturated outro “Time’s Wasting”:
designed to sound like a memory of the former. A nod
to their debut EP “Float” – which can be played on a
continuous loop – the return of the track in this more
ethereal, ghostly form captures how ideas, stories and
observations are changed by the process of
remembering.
