In a
daring public exhibition in 1837, Mr Robert Cocking released his parachute and
promptly launched himself into eternity. In 2013 the Green Circles launch their
4th album Mr Cocking's descent.
With
this new release, the Green Circles invite you to climb into their basket and
soar into the psych/garage/jangled sky.
These
four dashing aerialists showcase their daring with guitars that have six and
twelve strings, bass guitars with four, wailing organs, drums, a tambourine, a
saxophone, and various sets of vocals cords. It's taken more than 80 days to
launch, but they have landed eleven new tracks – nine originals and a couple of
covers originally performed by band faves the Screaming Believers and the Ninth
Wave.
From the
riff and harmony laden ‘I can't see the day’ and ‘I'll give you thanks’ to the
tough, overdriven ‘Time comes’ and ‘Semaphore Girl’, the dreamy Love tinged ‘Flown’
and the deep psych groove of ‘Watermelon sugar blues’, this Green Circles
collection shows how far they have travelled since they first took off in
Adelaide.
Previous
releases ‘Tavistock Street’, ‘Brass knobs, bevelled edges (and in 23 different
positions)’ and ‘Get on the outside of this’ (not to mention the ‘Black Vinyl
Heart’ ‘Best Of’ on Biff Bang Pow Records) have received rave reviews from all
over the globe and ‘Mr Cocking's descent’ is destined to go down in history as
their hottest set yet!
“The
Green Circles have more hooks than a piranha's mouth.” Phil Suggitt, Shindig
“Simply
smoking.” Mike Bennett, Fufkin
