A little about the band :
Having spent what seems like forever in our studio, meticulously placing beats, tuning analogue synths and rescuing long forgotten chord organs, we are ready to release our debut album 'Reset, Start Again'.

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We're Talk, an eccentric mix of inclement electronica, post rock and ephemeral indie. Recluses by nature, we have on occasion been spotted venturing out from our studio, the lab. Primary reasons being to purchase more electricity to power our vast synth collection or, just as important, to play our material live.

Performing has taken us as far a-field as Holland where we represented Radio One at Eurosonic festival. This rewarding jaunt was the result of us winning the title of 'best electronic fourpiece' on the Huw Stephens show, also leading to us playing at In The City for the BBC. Subsequently we performed on Radio One with a live session, which received fantastic and encouraging feedback. We released 'Bypass Control' from the new album to critical acclaim from both national and regional press including 'single of the week' on Londons XFM and coverage on ITV.

You'll hear a definite evolution to the Talk sound and progression of ideas on the new record. Don't simply take our word for it though, take a look at a few of the exceptional words said about us in the press recently:

"A delicious slice of hypnotic electronica...Album of the week"_ BBC Radio One - Huw Stephens

"Post Millennial Radiohead, windswept moans, processed electronica, tricksy jazzoid time signatures and eruptive angry space-punk guitar"_ UNCUT Magazine

"The Debut album by Talk is one of the most perfect albums to emerge in ages...and in terms of the indubitable quality of the songs, Reset Start Again is up there with the very best records."_ Fact Magazine

"Talk have achieved that rare thing of coupling experimentation with tunes. Byp/Ctrl is highly accessible to staunch indie-fans, whilst will also satisfy the minds of the arty electronica set. The EP see's rich sonic landscapes and hypnotic electro-beats over a back-drop of deep pulsing rhythms. Vocals and standard indie guitar styles are both violated and lovingly-massaged by dynamic instrumentations. This is Kid A with tunes, the perfect balance between analogue and digital sounds"_ National Student Magazine

"a five tracker of ethereal new age cosmic pop headed up by the airy Motion Sickness, a deceptive little chameleon that relaxes you with Simon & Garfunkel breathy 60s folk before the guitars start getting all worked up in a psychedelic riff lather and early Pink Floyd Ummagummaisms"_ Whats On

"A white hot distractive progressive art rock animal of sorts threaded and snared by a bleaching of abstract computer rhythms that craftily find themselves juxtaposing sublimely between the polarised paths of an edgy austere tensely tingling claustrophobia and a warmly honey combed harmony laced mellowness - quite disturbingly superb."_ Losing Today

"It’s as if the back of my head has been opened like they do in Being John Malcovich, a little stairway erected and a huddle of slightly bald scientists have entered, teasing and tugging at my brain - Genius!"_Subba Cultcha
