New striking strokes

9 August 2024

Sample-addictive post-punks THE WOLFGANG PRESS (1983–1995) created some impressive sonic waves in the ’80s and ’90s, but they called it a day after their 5th LP Funky Little Demons.

Obviously music is still streaming through their veins as original members Michael Allen and Andrew Gray, along with Andrew’s brother Stephen, just announced their comeback album, named A 2ND SHAPE. It will see the day of light on September 27. More info here.

New album artwork

First preview track SAD SURFER is a darksome mid-tempo
electronic creeper, spiced with nightmarish vocals. Touchdown.

“Sad Surfer” is one of the first songs written for the album and references the Victorian painter Richard Dadd, who painted imagined landscapes populated by fairies and supernatural beings. Dadd killed his father, convinced he was the devil, and thereafter spent most of his life painting in Bethlem and Broadmoor hospitals.
