Mary Epworth's new single 'September' (out now on Hand Of Glory Records) is a glitterbeat glamstomper, heavily infused with synth bass, fat back beats and dirty, killa fuzz.
September shouldn't be a surprise in terms of direction, the radio-edited single 'Black Doe' from debut album 'Dream Life' hinted at a footstomping, fuzz filled future. If you follow Mary on twitter @maryepworth or have listened to various radio interview/live sessions with the band, you already know it's 60s sunshine pop, prog, psych & much, much more (not just f*lk) that excites this band. More recently a slight obsession with Bowie's foil Mick Ronson has been a major twitter topic between Mary and guitarist/vocalist Helene Bradley. So maybe some glitter-killa Ronson style riffs will be evident on the second album!
Mary - "This song in an earlier form nearly ended up on Dream Life, but once we decided it hadn’t made the cut, I realised it could be turned into a bit of a glitterbeat stomper. I’ve been in a bit of a glam rock frame of mind, and wanted to make something that people could move to. Producer Will and I went as far as dancing while we recorded the drum take, to make sure the beat was just right for a night out at the local working men’s club"
Coming in at only 1.46 seconds, this is a fresh slice of perfect 70s pop. Imagine Joe Meek & Brian Eno (Here Come The Warm Jets era) co-producing Suzie Quatro while Marc Bolan gets jealous in the control room.
