THIS TOWN NEEDS GUNS - 13.0.0.0.0


Calmative Complex
Melodic Math Rock Power Trio

Released: 2013 Jan


This is TTNG's second official release if I'm not mistaken.  And this is timely for the year 2013 not mentioning the album name, this is Math Rock, a more melodic one indeed.  One could  not make out their music pattern directly or by first hand.  Their sound sort of  plays out like fireflies in your head.  And as the more you play it, the more you can't make out the next shift, pattern and intervals.  That makes it wonderful. 13.0.0.0.0 is more technical than the earlier Animals which I yet have to listen to. This release was technically described as a smart use of asymmetrical time signatures and complex accenting between guitar and drums, with minimal use of distortion and guitar effects, giving way to more complex melodies.  The music from this power trio from Oxford, United Kingdom, would most likely remain among those full track album records that I play on point.

Red wine and tan lines
colour our differences.
You feel less satisfied
the more that you acquire.
Black cabs and bar tabs
to help you get away.
You feel quite justified
to feed your magpie's eyes.

You'll be happy
when you're willing to share.

Worn holes in old clothes.
Wait for the hand-me-downs.
Tethered, tangled and tied
the suit that fits too tight.
Hide behind the breadline.
Hunger howls our pockets dry.
It should cripple your pride
to know others won't survive.

We'll be happy
when we're willing to share.

Gather the right minds,
and slowly through time,
all the right minds,
(ignoring patience that we lack)
will inform the new minds,
and likely in kind,
all the new minds,
will in turn replace the old.

We won't change you easily.
Wait, ideals will be replaced.

Red wine and tan lines
colour our differences.
An economic divide
this doesn't suit me fine.
