    Backwards Invention / SeeSaw 7″

     

    ULTRA-LIMITED 7″ ON SUNSHINE YELLOW VINYL

    This is the fourth release as part of the Fence Secret 7 collection – a new series of vinyl, available for free at Fence Club shows. There are a limited number available from this website and select independent record stores.

    This Secret7 title is a split single, with tracks from PLAYER PIANO and COME IN TOKYO.

    Player Piano is the nom de plume of Indiana-born, London-fed Jeremy Radway. We’ve been a fan of his for awhile now – having had him play the past couple of Homegame festivals, up here in Fife. A talented musician and studio-engineer, Jeremy plays all the instruments on all of his recordings – drums, guitar, keys, vocals, handclaps and even backslaps (if it’s going well). ‘Backwards Invention’ is a rattling glam pomp-pop shimmy, all Bowie preen and Roxy glisten.

    In 2007, Alan Oates (a.k.a. winsome folk troubadour Little Pebble) traded his acoustic guitar for an electric, messed up his hair a bit, became friends with proto-drummer Anna Duffield, and started to write songs as Come In Tokyo. Together they make the most blistering 3-minute pop you’re likely to hear in our life. ‘See Saw’ is no exception – a juggernaut of a tune, replete with filthy riffs, shuddering drums, and jackknife time- hanges. Easily one of the best live acts on Fence.

     

    This Secret 7 title was available for free at Fence Club #5 – The Bulleit Sessions (06/06/2008).
