Victor Talking Machine Release Special 'Had Enough' Remix In Anticipation Of New EP

Noise-pop outfit Victor Talking Machine release their ‘Had Enough’ EP on 12th November - and have released a special dub remix of ‘Had Enough’ as a free download in anticipation.
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’ - which sees the band showing off their love of west coast vocal harmony aficionados Big Star and ‘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 V.T.M. 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.
To celebrate the brand new Ep, they're releasing a very special remix of ‘Had Enough’ as a free download. The remix was done by the band at Gun Factory Studios, Stoke Newington. It was a chance for the band to experiment with electronics, sampling and effects for the first time and take the original song to a more reflective mood. You can check it out - and download it - below.
