Release Notes:
--------
Truly fantastic, exciting rock bands from Britain are a rarity, compared to the
number of pop bands, electronic artists and indie guitar bands it ready spills
out. Usually British rock music is in thrall to its American counterparts,
readily copying genres that have flooded radio and TV in the last twenty years,
already tainted with an ennui or overtly in debt to the work of their US
cousins.
So when a band like Young Legionnaire and a record like Crisis Works comes
along, it's a reminder that the UK is the originator of pounding riffs,
scorching guitars and sensory-grabbing rhythms.
Formed by Paul Mullen formerly of yourcodenameis:milo and Gordon Moakes of Bloc
Party, Crisis Works is a record loosely concerned with the idea that crisis can
kind of be engineered around us to make us more pliable. As Gordon explains;
'The idea is that we're living with a siege mentality about the recession and
spending cuts, but it's that siege mentality that makes 'difficult' decisions
easier to confer on us from above. The principle applies at a personal level
with the decisions you make for yourself, all the way up to the global economic
level'.
The seeds of Young Legionnaire were sown following Gordon's guest appearance on
the yourcodenameis:milo side project Print Is Dead album in 2006. Some more
meetings and conversations followed over the next few years, eventually leading
to their first rehearsals together as a band in 2009, alongside drummer William
Bowerman. Ove the next eight months the band wrote six songs during three
rehearsals, fitting around other work schedules.
Produced by Rich Jackson (Future Of The Left, The Automatic, The Chapman
Family), Crisis Works Combines the ferocious dynamics of ...Trail of Dead with
the intensity of Husker Du, Crisis Works is an album full of power, intent and
brilliant songs. In turns tumultuous and epicly minded, it brings together.
The album is about noise, volume, being heavy and being loud, as Gordon puts it;
'(We wanted) To make a big, juddering noise but weave a trail of melody through
it'. He goes on; 'Even though the format of guitar, bass, drums and vocal is
established, is nothing ground-breaking, the possibilities are endless. There's
always another riff to write, a heavier sound to find. And we're looking for the
magic in the gaps between the riffs too. There's a tenderness to it, a fragility
almost, that we stumbled upon, and I'm inspired by that, to discover that. The
record is about the brutal, the fragile and the possible.'.
Энджой!
