GYRATORY SYSTEM

GYRATORY SYSTEM release their second album ‘New Harmony’ on April 16 2011 on The Angular Recording Corporation.  

The album is preceded by a free download single ‘The Knowledge’ on March 7th and a single of the title track ‘New Harmony’ on April 4th. 

 A UK tour will coincide

Over the last yearproducer/trumpeter Andrew Blick has been holed-up perfecting a new batch of material using the band’s customized recording technique, ‘The Process’. Added to the melodic feel of earlier releases is an industrial, Einsturzende Neubauten/Cabaret Voltaire edge, plus an affinity with contemporary acts like Holy Fuck, Black Dice and Fuck Buttons. 

Using electronica as a base-camp, ‘New Harmony’ makes instrumental expeditions into territory including free-jazz, minimalist composition and Afro-beat.

The album sonically depicts London landmarks both well-known and obscure, with trip-hop-gone-John Coltrane opener ‘Lost on the King’s Road’; the hypnotic synth-and brass fanfare clatter of ‘Seven Dials’; and the Harmonia/Kraftwerk-flavoured ‘Sicilian Avenue’.

There is a more ambient interlude in ‘I must Create a System’, a title drawn from the writing of William Blake. Album title track ‘New Harmony’ is named after a 19^th Century socialist commune established in the US; and the political theme continues on album closer ‘Industrial Action’.
