about

We do love a bit of woozy, wonky, tripped out tackle here at Sprechen and this offering by Matt Gunn goes above & beyond providing the wigged out goodness via his Complicata E.P. which gives us 4 spaced out, slo-mo selections of acid tinged, psychedelic goodness. Where guitars & synths straddle solid beats & rhythms in a hybrid of yessmate proportions.

Be Born starts us off and ticks all the 'Sabres Of Paradise' influences box for an instant win. Immediate images of late nights into hazy mornings during the 2nd Summer of love suddenly appear by way of tripped out guitars, soaring pads & synth sounds with reverse effects dropping left, right & centre. Then when that drop happens its like a big warm hug of hedonism.

Strendale Moonstomp goes a bit tougher yet is still Weatherall (and Johnston) esque in its outlay. Bubbling electronic sounds and wobbly arps along a stomping beat & bass leads way to a fully spaced out lead line that sounds like a lost outtake by Jeff Lynne if he worked with Jon & Vangelis. Mad mix of chug-acid-space rock psychedelic brilliance.

Quid Significat comes up the rear and brings the funk to proceedings. Slamming drums and warped guitars with some hefty tremolo action and cosmic synths to accommodate make this a proper squelchy punk-funk force to be reckoned with. Fans of A Certain Ratio will be definitely tuned in!

Not A Hymn is a glorious bundle of chug-psychedelia with enough thud and squelch to make it feel at home for any of those that worship at the church of A Love From Outer Space. Seemingly stripped back and simple but with a warp factor level of hooky & hypnotic that drags you right in. Serious machine workout.
