Details

The God in Hackney’s new LP, ‘Small Country Eclipse’ is coming in as the Brexit themed anti-genre album of the year; channeling musical diversity via Camberwell Now, Wire, Lemon Kittens & Coil it follows their debut ‘Cave Moderne’ which Andrew Weatherall charted as his number one album of the year for NTS Radio and which Thurston Moore and Byron Coley described as “a very swell blob of UK art-rock of a deeply friend nature.” Number 1 record of 2020 (Colloquium for Unpopular Culture) “An LP that felt of the year. Mordant music: stuttering, dread, black humour. A record that felt truly independent, beholden to no genre, out of step with all centres and signposted nodes.” BBC RADIO 6 - repeat plays from Steve Lamacq & Gilles Peterson. Featured guests on The Watt From Pedro Show presented by Mike Watt (Minutemen, The Stooges) “There’s a poignant exasperation to this album, a humorous and offbeat meander through the miasma of a Britain blighted by Brexit intoxication and national confusion. Imagine Wire but less punk, more ‘Neolithic rock’” headsonsticks.co.uk Andy Cooke – vocals, lyrics, synthesizers, piano, guitars, fire extinguisher. Dan Fox – piano, trombone, guitar, other musicians, voice, cello. Ashley Marlowe – the drum kit, guitar, pedals, keyboards. Nathaniel Mellors – vocals, lyrics, synthesizers, guitars, cello, dubbings.
