London-based noise-pop outfit Victor Talking Machine have announced that their brand new EP ‘Had Enough’ will hit shelves on November 12th.
The EP begins with the title track ‘Had Enough’, a pop gem with all the emphasis on the chorus, glorious fuzz and melody. Next up, live set opener ‘Muggy June’ sees the band showing off their love of west coast vocal harmony aficionados Big Star, while ‘Penny Arcade’ takes the band into psychedelic rock territory with a rolling rhythm section underpinning searing guitars and spaced out vocals.
Finally, on ‘Had Enough (Always Dub)’ the band take the title track and twist it into a blissed out exploration, reminiscent of 'Lazer Guided Melodies'-era Spiritualized. Collaborating with producer Marc Waterman (Elastica, Ride, Ash) meant the band could share a vision and create a distinctly British angle on guitar music with their own influences and twists laid over the top like an insistent snare drum. Recorded live with very few overdubs, the ‘Had Enough’ EP shows a band moving forward through their very own musical landscape.
The 4 piece have already received rave reviews for their debut single ‘Tuscany’ (releasedback in May), with NME Radar describing a band with a “fresh and honest approach to their style of British guitar pop.” Gaining a reputation on the London live scene, Victor Talking Machine have been sharing stages with Sissy and the Blisters, Comanechi, Echo Lake and Fanzine amongst others, consistently delivering roller-coaster live performances.
In celebration of the EP, the band have offered their track ‘Penny Arcade’ as a free download - you can grab it below.
