Martin Carr editou este ano “New Shape Of Life”, o terceiro disco sob o seu nome e o segundo através da Tapete Records. Aqui explicou-o faixa a faixa.
#1 New Shapes of Life
I step through the glass and meet up with Mandy on a rain soaked field in Wales. We smoke a joint, her chest hurts but she is loud and funny, funny and loud. She gets married on top of a hill and then the van comes and we are left to carry on without her. Northing changes on the outside, not really, but inside she becomes a place, a sad/happy space that we can visit whenever we want. She is there but nowhere and she is everywhere but here. On we go.
#2 Damocles
Chaos and confusion.
#3 The Main Man
The benefits of automation have not been shared with the people whose jobs they had cost.
#4 Future Reflections
Waking up, reflection, breakfast. Disaster on the news. The mirror.
#5 A Mess Of Everything
Oil painting of a fisherman in his tiny boat. His hungry family wait on the shore but he will return empty handed.
#6 Three Studies Of The Male Back
More reflections and oils. Francis Bacon, stuck in a loop. Marijuana is a reflective surface.
#7 The Van
Thanatos twinned with sleep. The Dullahan calling out your name. Little Pete, King Yama, The Van.
#8 The Last Song
I’m standing on the side of the road one long slow tail of a day, still warm and so quiet. From nowhere The Van pulls up alongside. It is old, it is new. It idles beside me with a low hum, perfectly toned. The door slides open and there is an outstretched hand before me.
