The Harridans: Songs to tap your feet to


Has the song started yet?

Here is a CD inlay for a two track album by experimental post-punk band The Harridans.

The two tracks contained on this album are:

1) Music for sheep

2) Murder to the beat

Track one is a deeply hypnotic, brain spank of a track, and revolves around one very simplistic rhythmic time signature that recycles itself over the course of the song with subtle embellishments that add colour and dynamics to the mix of linear guitar lines, and dark repetitious vocals.

Track two has an improvised drum and guitar intro that builds into an odd time tribal drum pattern which live can last for up to 30 minutes, before descending into the main theme of the song which is pinned into submission by a heavy, foreboding guitar part fit for the nearest disco abattoir. The song then turns back on itself and once again the tribal drum pattern is back, before an improvised outro leads the listener down yet another slippery garden path.
