Label: Punishment ParkRelease Date: 27th March Feel like Group A.D. couldn't come from anywhere else but a post-industrial northern city like Leeds. Their music bears a full-electronic force like the sound of monster machines that regularly swallow workers and their limbs whole but there's sweeping cinematic strings that add a real-world pathos and humanism. It's electronic dance music for the end of the world and up here the dystopia has always felt like a bitter wind on your neck. Group A.D. release their debut EP 'Colour SpaceTransform' on March 27th.Group A.D. is a brand new Leeds based project. Thename stands for The Group For Action & Dance. andtheir music sits somewhere between dubbed out,psychedelic no-wave and spaghetti-western orchestralmaximalism.Across the debut EP, tracks slip between the orchestralflourishes of John Barry and Ennio Morricone, the surf-rock of Jet Harris and spectral ‘80s dance floormaximalism - with each style appearing as suggestionrather than imitation.Samples punctuate the songs throughout - narrations,incandescent preachers, machines, children’s voices,all a patchwork of cut-out motifs that open portals intouncanny new worlds.More to come from Group A.D. very soon.
