Our
thanks go out to Zander and all the Sleaze family for this great review of
Sorry Escalators AA release ‘Generation Winter / Street Corner Absurdity’.
Here is
what the culture and music magazine had to say:
“For fans of: My Bloody
Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Dinosaur Jr, Happyness and Team Picture.
Sorry
Escalator are a band who are characterised by noise rock and elements of
shoegaze. Forming in 2013, they have gone on to tour with bands such as The
Wytches, Fufanu and Weirds. In 2016 they released their first self titled EP Sorry
Escalator, a
lovely collection of songs which are original and accessible, on the fringe of
90s indie music but more comparable to bands in the realm of noise-rock
such as the Jesus and Mary Chain.
They have recently released their
new double A-side cassette, Generation
Winter [2017], with
tracks, ‘Generation Winter’ and ‘Street Corner Absurdity’. Released
through the independent label Imagination
Engine Records,
it is a tape which shakes our walls and reminds us of our grunge induced
teenage angst. ‘Generation Winter’ is a song which immediately throws us into
their noisy sound with a strong melodic bassline, which is then drowned out by
over driven guitars, something which is consistent throughout most of
their music. The song is largely driven by catchy bass hooks and hazy
lyrics.
Much preferred to the former, ‘Street Corner Absurdity’
is the second track on their cassette. Laced with feedback, it definitely
shows the moodier and more shoe-gaze side of their compositions. The song
starts with a dreamy My Bloody Valentine distortion sound which carries us
until the cataclysmic crescendo of fuzzy, piercing solos which act as an
outro. As a follow up release from Sorry
Escalator
[2016], Generation
Winter
[2017] has lived up to their immaculate and creative sound. It is a great
debut release on Imagination Engine Records, and has certainly put them in
good stead for the future. Be sure to watch their space
for updates on their music and gigs”. Words:
