Man/Woman/Chainsaw release debut EP Eazy Peazy
Man/Woman/Chainsaw have dropped debut EP Eazy Peazy, today via Fat Possum. The album’s arrival Follows a sold-out Halloween show at 100 Club in London, and also announced that they will be playing at SXSW, the group’s first time playing in North America. To celebrate the release the band have shared a live session recorded at The George Tavern, a venue held dear by the band and one that has seen many of their earliest shows, directed by Ella Margolin. In addition, they also share a visualizer for EP highlight “Sports Day.”
On the track, the group says: “’Sports Day’ takes commonplace memories of shame and embarrassment on sports day to ridiculously exaggerated levels. We were inspired by the brash, campy worlds of American films like ‘Grease’ and ‘But I’m A Cheerleader’ to set memories of teenage insecurity against a bright backdrop, with an instrumental that mimics the pomp and pageantry of a marching band.”
Man/Woman/Chainsaw includes Billy Ward (vocals, guitars), Emmie-Mae Avery (vocals, keys/synths), Vera Leppänen (vocals, bass), Clio Starwood (violin), and Lola Cherry (drums) —
Recently celebrating their 100th gig, this November the band truly comes of age, with their debut EP landing on the indie taste-maker label Fat Possum Records. Recorded with Daniel Fox (Gilla Band) at Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne, the group present us with cinematic arrangements, mauled by moments of cacophony. On their writing process, the band’s Billy Ward says “we thrive on the thin line between pretty and noisy, often trying to jump between the two – it’s that chaos that excites us.”
