Melt Em All Down

about

Guitars start with minor key laments. A bit of a national anthem-style picks up at first, with minor Morris flutters sent drifting down our way. I try to start several dumb beats, while Thom plays rings around rings and things, and around the 3m mark Goddard decides to let it all slide, baby, slide. A strange jungle beat is constructed, a jumpy kind of off-count sequence, and the guitars and slide bass wrap around it all. A TV drama from the early seventies comes and goes, while I whip out the diminished intervals yet again. By 6m the guitar gets involved in picking out chords. By 7m a jerky little pattern comes out, set to chiming chords and robotic drums weaving in and out of complexity. I start playing “I’m So Insane” and everything just fits. At 9m I’m still playing around with it, but very far from where it was before, and Sleet patiently takes apart the beat for us all. A series of drum rolls are answered by a few slide bass goodbyes.
