REPO MAN video premiere – ‘Sirhan Sirhan’ forward of gig with USA Nails on Saturday and a forthcoming album.
I first reviewed Bristol band Repo Man and their Minesweeping album in 2015. ‘The label ‘noise-rock’ does the band an enormous disservice as musically it’s fairly complicated and technical…’ I mentioned.
Later, in 2019 I described I Can Reside With It If You Can, Son as ‘an album for people who find themselves uninterested in on a regular basis music and rock’n’roll, who need one thing new and troublesome to get their enamel into… cerebral jazz punk for thinkers and drinkers on the sting of a nervous breakdown…‘
They’re again! However present little by the use of data… apart from a considerably disturbing video of how they persuade the reluctant vocalist Bojak to rehearse… and this:
‘Sirhan Sirhan’ is the primary monitor unveiled from the brand new Repo Man album ‘Me Pop Now’ recorded at Large Wafer Studios in Mid-Wales by Wayne Adams (Bear Bites Horse) in June 2022. Date of launch at present to be confirmed.
The video was filmed and edited by the band’s guitarist Aron Ward.
‘Me Pop Now’ is the fourth Repo Man album and the primary to function Aron Ward (Olanza/Harpoon/Bryn Wryd) becoming a member of the lineup on guitar and Simon Mawson (Motion Beat) on drums.
‘Sirhan Sirhan’ is a taster of ‘Me Pop Now’s aural foraging into totally different stylistic realms and odd juxtapositions. Me Pop Now. Pop Me Now.
However fortunately the video is a really cool piece of artfully put collectively visible enjoyable. The primary couple minutes music are deceptively sunny-day jazz with clarinet noodling and worryingly contemporary-sounding… however the jittery Repo Man we all know and love quickly emerge and the album title ‘Me Pop Now’ appears to be a little bit of a fib. It ends in full-on schronk noise and a cry from Bojak of “Nein Nein Nein swarfega I dont perceive”.
