The pair of idiosyncratic sonic stylists, bullish outsiders with a Dadaist's ear for unexpected rhythms and ear-catching turns of phrase return showcasing a new track – the title of the EP - along with three bass heavy dubbed out no wave versions of tracks from their self titled debut LP.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTed Milton is a prolific poet, with several volumes under his belt, as well as an avant-garde puppeteer. Yet he's probably best known as vocalist\/saxophonist with psycho-funk afro punk fake no-wave pogo jazz trio \u003cstrong\u003eBlurt\u003c\/strong\u003e. Milton's group has produced an impressive string of albums, not to mention his numerous solo recordings.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeanwhile, \u003cstrong\u003eEdvard Graham Lewis\u003c\/strong\u003e has a history of strong solo releases, both under his own name and as \u003cstrong\u003eHe Said\u003c\/strong\u003e. And of course, as bassist, lyricist and sometime vocalist with post punk innovators \u003cstrong\u003eWire\u003c\/strong\u003e, he's been responsible for numerous landmark releases, from 1977's \u003cem\u003ePink Flag\u003c\/em\u003e, to 2003's \u003cem\u003eSend\u003c\/em\u003e, to 2020's \u003cem\u003eMind Hive\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArranged, like the album, by electronic composer and sound artist \u003cstrong\u003eSam Britton\u003c\/strong\u003e whose sure touch pieces all the elements together. Kicking off with a stripped down driving shortened version of “\u003cem\u003eHe Folds\u003c\/em\u003e” with its eerie honking sax and kraut like pulsating bass the perfect complement to Milton’s chorus echoing throughout. “\u003cem\u003eBoat\u003c\/em\u003e” is another album track beefed up with Milton’s chants backed by layered percussive blasts and squawking sax. “\u003cem\u003eMeet My Stalker\u003c\/em\u003e” makes its first appearance here with its infectious snarling looped bassline and Milton’s refrain “It’s a wind up”. Closing out with another album highlight an elongated version of “\u003cem\u003eVancouver Slim\u003c\/em\u003e” all synth bleeps and ricocheting grumbling sax and hypnotic vocals. Punchy, idiosyncratic, packed with melody and groove, this second release is the fascinating sound of an evolving Elegiac. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Upp Records","offers":[{"title":"12'' EP - Vinyl","offer_id":46930876957017,"sku":"SDZ-10842","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Elegiac_-_Meet_My_Stalker_EP.jpg?v=1689697225","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/elegiac-meet-my-stalker","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
