An Organ Thing of TheDay for today; Sydney noise makers and favourites around here, Party Dozen (Kirsty Tickle and Jonathan Boulet), return with a new piece of music Mad Rooter, taken from their upcoming AA-single 7″ Mad Rooter/Ghost Rider out December 5th via City Slang. The duo will be touring throughout the UK this November with shows in London, Brighton, Leeds, Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow, if you’ve seen them already then you know, if you haven’t then you really need to get to that gig!
On the new track, the band said “It doesn’t always happen, but sometimes it’s your night. You feel like the maddest rooter. Every step you take is a step closer to glory. No f*cks left to give, the charisma of Jon Hamm. Mad Rooter is 10 feet tall and can walk through a wall. Stuck here with all you rookies eating fortune cookies.”
They added “We didn’t record it with a click, so it has this sort of off-grid pull and push that gives it swagger. There’s a sax solo that’s giving David Letterman opening sequence. We recorded the sample with Jon’s guitar, which is old and barely hanging on. The electronics are shot, it’s missing strings, and it’s been sort of half-modified then given up on.”
