Add N To (X) -Little Black Rocks In the Sun

add n to (x)

little black rocks in the sun

 
Released on 20th July

"add n to (x) are Suicide gone lunar....quite simply brilliant"
....NME....
add n to (x) are set to release their new single "Little Black Rocks In The Sun", the long awaited first outing for Mute Records.
Clocking in at over 11 minutes, "Little Black Rocks In The Sun" is the band's third single and follows "Black Regent" and "King Wasp" both "Single Of The Week" in the NME when released last year.
Based in London add n to (x) are Ann Shenton, Barry Smith and Steve Claydon, they take their name from a computer program command that creates an unknown electronic third force. Their wall of sound is created with the aid of two drummers and a large collection of ancient synthesizers and keyboards liberated from skips and junkshops.
add n to (x), who released their album "On The Wires Of Our Nerves" to critical acclaim in February, have spent most of the year taking their infamous live set around Britain, Europe and America. They will continue with dates at the Meltdown Festival on the 4th of July and with Pulp at Finsbury Park on the 25th. The band also make an early evening in-store appearance at Intoxica, Portobello Road on Wednesday 22nd July.
"Little Black Rocks In The Sun" will be pressed on extremely limited hexagonal shaped vinyl with interlocking fold out sleeve while the CD comes in a hexagonally embossed digi pak. The track is already a live favourite and could be a taste of what to expect from the album due on Mute Records early next year.
"As a demolition of the genre obsessed, this is about as good as it gets."

Glice 09.26.2006 03:29 PM

Yes. But perhaps not as much yesly as King Wasp or Black Regent. Still very good though.

Heard their new band? Utter gash. Disappointing.

porkmarras 09.26.2006 03:30 PM

No i haven't.I still think this is one of their better tracks.

Everyneurotic 09.26.2006 03:31 PM

i'm listening to it now, i do have to say i haven't followed them thru the years.

Glice 09.26.2006 03:32 PM

They went rock... sort of slowish surf with math-ish elements. Arse, is the main thing. A mate of mine cheated on her then-boyfriend with Barry n to x.

I saw them live a couple of times. I was mostly impressedly.

Everyneurotic 09.26.2006 03:39 PM

this song is very awesome!!

porkmarras 09.26.2006 03:39 PM

I love the way it ends in chaos.

You mean Barry7's band Prey?

They supported Sunburned recently and I thought they were actually really damn good. Seeing them ponce around the venue all dressed in black made me want to hate them but they were good. Sort of sleazy/decadent loud stoner/garage type thing with some electronics thrown in for good effect. Better than it sounds though. Haven't heard any recorded stuff.

Everyneurotic 09.26.2006 03:44 PM

the whole arrangement is awesome, they kind of do everything they've ever done in that song.

Glice 09.26.2006 03:44 PM

Well, different strokes. I heard a Resonance session when they were still fairly new, it's possible/ probable that they got better. I have been known to be wrong before. Very, very rarely, but it has happened.

It's been a while since I've listened to them. Good moment to pick up where I left off.

That has to be one of the coolest music videos I've ever seen.

sarramkrop 05.13.2007 02:18 PM

If memory doesn't fail me, it was inspired by some porn comics that the band found inside a rubbish bin in Belgium.
