Are you in the market for a new Australian supergroup? We've got just the thing. Station Model Violence is made up of members of Total Control, Den, and R.M.F.C., and they're announcing their self-titled debut album today.
The lead single "Heat" is a convincing preview. About it, Dan Stewart wrote on Bandcamp:
There is a scene in the BBC Krautrock documentary that made a great impression on me. Iggy Pop sits spread eagle in some beachside location drilling holes in coconuts and ruminating on the sound of Neu. The clash of the visual spectacle and the subject matter infected my dreams. At one point he describes Neu as "pastoral psychedelicism."
I thought of that moment when Buz first played me the demo for the song which would become "Heat," when first he asked me to play music with him. I heard it, smelled the fresh coconut juice and the sour sweat on Iggy's leathery hide. I knew that we would do it right.
Station Model Violence follows the formation of KX Aminal, a supergroup with Stewart and members of Den and Diat. These people really like playing music — that much is clear. You can hear it on "Heat," which shreds with focus and passion. Listen below.
