Besides, tonight we're throwing a party in order to celebrate this awesome single, come play madness!!
Now let's here what the band has to say about this new release:
“We were finishing writing the songs (nfr: for their second album) last
fall and were discussing the release options with the guys at Division. It was
too short for an album release before the summer. Someone then said, “Why not
release just 1 or 2 songs first?” Someone else added “On a 7” single!” Old
school as fuck, but fresh.” The first song of the 7”, and single “The
Spleen Controversy” is a track that the band considers to be “the most
danceable song of the album”, with a contagious groove and rhythm that are
rightly complemented with vocals that jump up and down, the unceasing energetic
vibe and the dramatic weight that parades from time to time, the two spectacularly
intertwined. “A sort of 70s
dancy-soul-rock song whose line was inspired by let’s call it “the approximate
memory of a video game jingle of the 80s”. Not kidding! The bass line, on which
the whole song is built, was even composed on a gipsy guitar,” explains the
band.
For the
second side of the 7” they wanted, “something
special, something we would never do otherwise, something we might never do
again.” Remember 1993 electronica-clubby-pop hit “Sweet Harmony” by UK’s The Beloved? Yeah… they did something
special alright. There’s no relation between the song and Charles In The Kitchen, but they wanted something different and
special. For reasons they try to ignore, the idea came from the singer that had
been dreaming singing the song. The only rule was “it had to be rock and therefore be recorded using only our instruments”. The song has also a special participation of Lisa-Marie
Boux, responsible for all the sweetness that enables an unhealthy addiction.
