PHEW – THE VOID
2020-09-07From the album Vertigo KO, out September 4th, 2020 on Disciples.
“This was recorded in 2019 at the request of the radio station WFMU in New Jersey, USA. They had compiled covers recorded today of tracks from 1979 debut albums and asked me to contribute, because Aunt Sally was released in 1979. Since the album with Ana had been released just a few months ago, I had chosen “The Void” from the first album of The Raincoats. I wondered how to install this song, recorded in 1979, into the 21st century. I wanted to represent a multi-layer time axis separated by forty years, considering the context of punk, post-punk and new wave. Specifically, the beat of this song uses a sequence of four slightly different tempo rhythms to create one groove.” – Phew
