    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    CD Issue on Fourth Dimension Records - "The CD version of this Lincoln/Yorkshire-based UK group's latest album (the vinyl of which was released by Germany's X-Mist label), following several low-key cassette albums released since 2014, plus the four tracks that constituted 2017's limited edition 'In A Room' 12" e.p. Gad Whip blend avant-garde sensibilities with a contemporary take on the place where D.I.Y. culture meets post-punk, hints of deconstructed garage rock and interstellar voyaging through sweat-drenched waking dreams. Immediate, powerful, confounding and kept in place by wry, sometimes observational, semi-spoken vocals that recall Jason Williamson and the late Mark E. Smith, this is music primed perfect for any 21st century meltdown in a suburban sprawl."

lyrics

The Vault
When the waters rise, can you hear the cries?
The pink headed lab rat scurried across my field of vision,
It was dressed in a pair of yellow y-fronts,
And was carrying two Ennio Morricone LPs in its front legs.
Where the blind lead the blind,
The squinty eyed one is king,
He once told me you have to flower wherever you are planted.

I’m sowing seeds for survival, whilst the deniers await an arrival.

Chained to radiators in a disused call centre,
Doing 8 hour rotating shifts and fed on supermarket bin scraps.
Original 1970s green woollen existential goalkeeper jersey,
Guaranteed to double in weight and go baggy when it rains.
I’d like to shoot a burning arrow through your flag,
Be done be gone – away with it all.

I’m sowing seeds for survival, whilst the deniers await an arrival.

When the waters rise, can you hear the cries?
Chewable tie outfitters, figgy piggys catered for,
Indeed this way and that if you please, oh you are a tease,
I think that bloke over there keeps bees.
You need a steady hand to place the fighter plane decal,
At this point your thoughts are with another person,
And how you try and see with someone else’s eyes.

I’m sowing seeds for survival, whilst the deniers await an arrival.

When the waters rise, can you hear the cries?
