‘Watch Me Disappear’ is the title track from the follow up to the bands 2006 breakthrough, Moo, You Bloody Choir . Which of course spawned the all-encompassing single ‘One Crowded Hour’. Recorded in New Zealand with US producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, White Stripes, Beck) and mixed in LA, Watch Me Disappear is set for release October 11.
Springing largely from a driving bassline, the five minute track is uncharacteristically bare for the band. Not to mention positioned amongst their “best set of songs to date” . Explains Glenn Richards on the band’s site:
“Funny track, wholly written with bass and drums not unlike a lot of the Dark Satanic Mills EP . Quite distinct from the rest of the album structurally. Thematically a return to the Eden subject previously explored in the Sunset Studies track ‘There is no Such Place’.
However, in place of trembling dilettante, now find shivering buccaneer on last voyage, minus sea legs. Driving on Paradise? Or one way ticket to Narragonia? You decide, (or don’t!)” – Augie March songwriter Glenn Richards
