IAN - Come On Everybody, Let's Do Nothing! - LP - Pink Vinyl [OCT 17]

LP - Eco Mix Pink Vinyl

East London-based quintet IAN bring a sense of jovial camaraderie through their heavy, loud and droning post-rock dirges on their debut album Come On Everybody, Let’s Do Nothing!, released via UK charitable label Human Worth.

IAN are refreshing newcomers in the UK’s heavy underground. The East London-based quintet will release their stirring debut album Come On Everybody, Let’s Do Nothing! on vinyl and digital via independent label Human Worth on October 17. It’s a labour of love between five old friends and ex-bandmates from Exeter’s fertile early-2000s DIY punk scene.

Self-described as "a band that appreciates the peaks and troughs of post-rock as much as the crunch of the riff," IAN’s striking debut delivers five dirges that merge earth-swallowing riffs with the atmospheres and dynamics of their post-rock heroes such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, alongside the bite and visceral heft of Cult Of Luna and Amenra. Thoughtfully captured by Wayne Adams (Petbrick, Big Lad) at his London-based Bear Bites Horse studio, IAN craft slowly mounting riffs and anguished screams, woven with elegant cello, field recordings, and earthy timbres.

Come On Everybody, Let’s Do Nothing!, and the band IAN as a whole, is the culmination of 25 years of musical comradeship and the search for inspiration in film, noise, and the drudgery of middle-aged life.

Rising UK independent label Human Worth have pressed a limited run of Eco Mix Vinyl, housed in a stunning sleeve designed by guitarist Craig Murray, with a small batch of Bandcamp-exclusive signed prints. 10% of all profits will be donated to Mermaids, a charity supporting trans, non-binary and gender-diverse children, young people and their families since 1995.
