New Postindustrial Poets EP called "Orbiting the Sun". Release date is 3 May 2023.

All about the Postindustrial Poets!

Postindustrial Poets are the vehicle for the songs of Pete Poet - a Brit living in Luxembourg. They started recording in 2019, released their first track in 2020 (it did well in the Cooltop20), and didn't get on stage until 2021 (when COVID relaxed its grip). Postindustrial Poets have charted in streaming charts around the world, with more than a million streams on Spotify.

Their sound is alternative rock - but they have released songs in a range of styles.

Words matter to the Poets - and their songs often tell stories.

The new EP is called  "Orbiting the Sun". Release date is 3 May 2023. There is a pre-save link:

What's on the EP? It is a four-track EP. The lead track is called Living in Space, the second track is an instrumental called The Million Year Orbit (it actually lasts three minutes), and there is also a remix and live version of a single from a couple of years ago Record of the Week. 

 What's the lead song about?

Living in Space is about wanting to withdraw from society - the hikikomori move. And it is specifically about Syd Barrett - who turned his back on fame and lived a reclusive existence in Cambridge after he left Pink Floyd. But it also has fun with some of the typical themes of sci-fi movies - being kept in suspended animation and falling in love with aliens. There is also a reference to Dan Dare...
 
When was it written?

In February of this year - on a bus in Norwich. Specifically, the bus from the University of East Anglia to the Park and Ride car park. The first line ("they could extract my consciousness") just appeared. By the time Pete got off the bus, he had all the lyrics sketched out.

And the music?

There is an influence from Syd Barrett's guitar work on the track - his use of glissando for example. But also from more recent electronic music. It is really a guitar and bass track though - louder than our recent releases!

The other tracks?

The Million Year Orbit refers to a line in Living in Space - and is designed to provide an extended version of the track if you play them together. We did this on That's When You Blew My Mind - and it seemed to work.

We chose to include Record of the Week on the EP because it is the other track where we hear a Syd Barrett influence (okay - no one else has ever mentioned it, but we know it is there).

What's next?

We have a series of tracks that we are looking forward to releasing. We are trying to work out the best order for doing this. The ideal would be to put them on a CD, but the practical obstacles are slowing things down.

We have some purely acoustic tracks recorded, and they will probably be next to be released.

The Quivering Palm Up Coming EP... "Perpetual Motion Vol. 1"

About The Quivering Palm

The Quivering Palm is the solo project of Kevin "KP" Hahn where alternative rock and indie pop hold hands.

About the EP

This EP is the first of a trilogy where each song leads directly into the next. Additionally, the last song of each EP will lead into the first of the next as well so when the trilogy is finished it will be like one seamless 18 track album.

The idea of perpetual motion, although unrealistic, fascinated me in my youth. I used to draw imaginary machines like the one shown in the album's cover art that could almost work in the real world if it weren't for those pesky laws of physics.

While the album’s single “Bittersweet Escapes” is on all the major streaming sites and the song “Uninspired” is playing on various indie radio stations, this EP will only be available for purchase on Bandcamp at https://thequiveringpalm.com at this time.

Releases March 24, 2023

Track list:
1.Fading Photographs 05:10
2.Uninspired 04:13
3.In the Zone 01:17
4.Bittersweet Escapes 03:12
5.Perpetual Motion 03:04
6.Number One Hit 04:32

The Review

The Quivering Palm has a unique sound. I love the many different instruments used to create a rich sound. The drums are outstanding along with the Piano. the bass line is also phenomenal. I like how they used electron elements in their tracks. This is a divers band that mixes electronic instrumentation along with traditional rock. Smooth bass lines and rich sounding guitars mixed with synths. Readers if you like diverse sounding tracks this is the band for you.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed this band. I loved how they mixed electronic elements in their tracks that makes this band unique. This band had my head bobbin and toes tapping. And I am sure if you listened to this bands track you'll be doing the same.

Saturn Saturn Saturn Has An New Release... "The Void EP!!"

                   Getting to Know Saturn Saturn Saturn also know as Ben Capper...

Following on from the global indie radio airplay and streaming success of recent singles such as 'The State We’re In' and 'Maybe Someday', 2022 saw Ben take to the studio to work on a new collection of songs, which has become The Void EP and will be released on Bandcamp exclusively on 11th November, with a wider streaming release a week later on 18th November.

The release of The Void is preceded by a lead single 'Don’t Ever Change', a love song to a home town and also features four more songs written and recorded from Autumn 2021 onwards. The Void EP explores our troubled and divided culture taking influences from the likes of indie and punk rock legends Teenage Fanclub, My Bloody Valentine, Built to Spill, Spoon, The Besnard Lakes, Mogwai, Sugar / Bob Mould, Pavement and Fugazi.

From social media shock jocks, to populist governments; our time is blighted by people seemingly going to extraordinary lengths to make people’s lives harder and worse. The Void calls out those people whose divisive rhetoric seems to them like a brave new way of communicating, but is in fact just the same old fascistic nonsense we thought we’d rejected as a society, a generation ago: “There’s a void at the heart of your thinking. Nothing new: your poisonous dream.” (The Void)

At times melancholic, the EP pleads with people to get back to understanding that, whatever our differences, “there’s such a thing as intrinsic human worth” (Getting By); and laments how people we have once cherished have been sucked into and radicalized by online ideological rabbit holes: “It makes me sad to see what’s happened to you, on your search for something true” (A Place to Belong).

As is Saturn Saturn Saturn’s way, there is a glimmer of hope amid the chaos, based on an inherent hope in humanity to overcome its divisions and the collective traumas of our age: “In my heart I know, when you feel so low, you’ve got to breath, so you know.” (Breathe)

The Void EP Track List:

1. The Void
2. Don't Ever Change
3. Getting By
4. A place To Belong
5. Breathe

The Void is Saturn Saturn Saturn’s first full EP since its debut EP “Hope and Heartbreak” from 2020, is available on Saturn Saturn Saturn’s Bandcamp page: saturnsaturnsaturn.bandcamp.com

The Review... Saturn Saturn Saturn's EP The Void

 
I'll be reviewing two tracks that I like the most off this EP, then follow up with a conclusion. So, lets get started.
The first  track that I'll be reviewing is, "The Void".  The Void starts out with warmly picked electric guitar that leads to the rhythm guitar playing bright chords introducing Ben Capper singing, "Where It Starts, The Freedom of Thinking..." is a pleasant voice.  What stood out in this track for me is Ben keeps singing about how things never change. He is so right about that. Take some time out and look around you environment and think to yourself is it the place that changes or is it you, or do we really ever change at all? Really, Really good track. This is a track that makes you think. Plus, Saturn Saturn Saturn sound is incredible.

The second track I'm reviewing is, "A Place To Belong". This track also starts out with warmly picked electric guitar accompanied by drums and bass that sets the mood of this track. The sound is incredible, like notes floating in the air. Ben Capper begins to sing, "Find your way, I bet its somewhere safe.." later he sings, " You'll Find Us Waiting, With Open Arms, You'll find a place to belong..." Now, I don't know about you but, seems to me that's what every one at least once or twice in their lives is looking for..."A Place To Belong". This has to be my favorite song on Saturn Saturn Saturn's EP The Void. I absolutely love the message of this song. A message we all can relate to because in a way we all are looking for a place to belong with all the diversity's of these social media groups now a days. Kinda makes it hard to know where you really belong.

In conclusion, Saturn Saturn Saturn's EP The Void is absolutely incredible. with the warm rich sounding guitars, incredible bass and drum lines that are  simply outstanding and well played. Ben Capper has a very inviting voice and the topics of their track you can relate to. This is an all around outstanding EP that everyone should take the time out and just listen to it. A see how much of what Ben is tell you that you can relate to.
