About Me |

| The Marylebone Greenwave is the mythical journey that can be made from Londons Kings Cross to freedom, via the
Westway, without hitting one red light. Cabbies swear it is possible, and has been done, but, as yet, there is no proof... Post Office's Greenwave takes a lifetime to complete: Each track represents one of the seven stages of life. Below youll find a synopsis on each of the album's tracks, three of which are included on this site: Dawn at Refuge des Oulettes de Gaube. Birth. A real dawn we witnessed at this stunning mountain refuge. The place where we first decided to write the album. A very slow build, ice and rock analogies abound... its not until two thirds in that the sun finally licks the mountain tops and the track takes off. Electronics, feedback, strings, kbds, drums, and brass are the key elements. Ascent of the Young. The energy of youth. Full speed build, layers of sound, and a Tom Chant soprano sax solo, dominate the first half, then insanity and aggression fight out the rest. As bandy as the album gets in terms of the line up (drums, bass, gits, kbds, percussion). Tiny Overnight. A short reflection on the brink of maturity. Spacey, meditative, with a sprinkling of foreboding. Wurlitzer, djembe, and electronics feature. Pin Out My Eyes. Couldnt shake this working title, though Brick by Brick wouldve described it better. Written from inside a flat whos view is slowly being obscured by a new build opposite. The monotony of everyday life, the feeling of helplessness, unfulfilled dreams and ambitions. The first half swaps between electronic and acoustic backdrops, a sort of humanity versus the machine analogy, which underpin the emerging simple piano riff. At about the half way point this gives way to the brass section and the vocal talents of Sia Furler. Rust. Failing love. Dying relationships. Familiar, though critical, song territory so enter vocalist Dedi Madden in an almost standard song arrangement until the brass take over for the final stanza. Mr Trebus. The inspiration for this, the longest track on the album, is the true story about an old man fighting against the council for his right to keep, and to continue to collect, the rubbish and junk that fills his house (as told on a BBC doc a few years back). On one hand a charming tale of a lovable old eccentric, but this strange compulsive hoarding disorder is somewhat of a smokescreen to a tragic and incredible life story. This piece comprises piano, strings, French horns and electronics. Time Regained. And so finally death. Cheery album eh? This simple track is for the first half based on two chords that accompany fleeting vague memories, which later vanish leaving a long C major drone to close. Hammond Organ, Piano, and samples. A website to support this project is unfortunately only in the development stages. But if you would like to receive a shop ready copy of the album, please contact Eddie@TheMaryleboneGreenwave.com or Dan@TheMaryleboneGreenwave.com . This album will be sent to you free of charge if you can suggest a good, or at least mediocre, reason why it should be. |
