about

The Silver Chimney Club / Wat Tyler comprises two long form tracks written between "Onkalo" and the latest Petrels album "Mima". Originally released for a short while in digital format they're now presented here in re-mastered form with new artwork for this release.

The Silver Chimney Club was written to mark the death of my grandfather, Ernest Barrett, who passed away at the end of last year. A civil engineer during his working life, The Silver Chimney Club was the name of a group formed of fellow work colleagues who would meet up on a semi-regular basis - I suspect more for social than professional reasons. As a tribute I'm not sure what he would have made of it but I wanted to create something that combined the industry he was a part of with his love of music that was passed on down to me. My grandfather was a socialist and Labour supporter (by which I mean the original post-war, pre-Blair party) - another thing I inherited from him, and which ties with the second piece on this release.

Wat Tyler is named after the leader of the Peasants' Revolt in England in 1381. Ostensibly a revolt against the poll tax, the movement was built on an undercurrent of a desire for social change and a demand for an end to the stiflingly limiting social structures of the time. Initially successful, the rebellion was abruptly cut short when Wat Tyler was murdered by the Mayor of London after Tyler supposedly insulted the young kind of England, Richard II during a parley. Over six centuries on, a lot less has changed in the world than those involved in the Peasants' Revolt might have hoped.

New release from esteemed member of the Petrels live band set-up. Packs a huge scope into three short tracks - beautiful textures and restless momentum. Petrels

Tessera

Spectral tectonics emerge out of the ether, coalescing into brief Rephlexes and Dilla-isms before dissolving back into a warm, analogue surround. 7 years of recordings woven through 1 excellent EP. Petrels
