More Info:
Orange color vinyl. Three Quarter Skies - the new band formed by Simon Scott from Slowdive - present their debut album Fade In. It was recorded by Simon and mixed with the help of elusive Flying Saucer Attack mainman Dave Pearce. The eight-track album includes the singles "Crows" and "Leave A Light On," a Nick Drake cover and brand-new versions of "Holy Water" and "Pieces Of Roslin," which was originally released on 2023's introductory EP, Universal Flames. While that grew out of a semi-improvised live recording, the new album is as focused as it is ferocious; a cohesive body of work that came together after a fertile creative period following the death of Simon's mother earlier this year. "My creative well was already beginning to overflow and losing my mum pushed me over the edge," says Simon. "I didn't want to write pretty tunes, or sentimental and saccharine music about love or pretend how happy and healthy the world is. Three Quarter Skies' songs are angry, noisy, turbulent, stubborn and petulant." As a result, Fade In is a heavy listen - opener "Slight Betrayal" has a nagging sense of motion sickness before the fuzzy hopefulness of "Leave A Light On;" there's the post-new normal rumble of "Superwoman," the feedback folk of "In The Night" and "Crows," with it's "vivid and surreal" attempts to process grief.
