Senator are now dead. However......
"Being able to operate completely outside the typical machinations of music - independent or otherwise. Senator are going to carve out a sizeable niche in the sewage-infested gutters of underground rock & roll." - Craig Sneldon Alternative Press
After sending a letter bomb to the infamous engineer and guitarist Steve Albini (ex-Just Ducky, Big Black, Rapeman) the trio took a trip to the legendary Nirvana producer's US electrical audio studios to produce their debut album "United Wire". This stunning debut exposes the true heart and art of Senator's music.
All the tracks are delivered with speed and a precision which imparts beautiful clarity and razor sharp edges the playing on 'Tarnish All' and 'The Nymphet Test' somehow achieve simultaneous gentleness and violence, the cold metal of the scalpel and the cold metal of wire. This album will appeal to fans of Shellac & Nirvana and the Jesus Lizard .
The album was mastered at Southern Studios by underground Legend John Loder who sadly died in August last year. You can read the official tribute here: http://johnloder.blogspot.com/ John worked on albums by Fugazi, Shellac, Probot, Bjork, Slint, The Jesus Lizard and Girls against Boys. Senator have played with Fugazi, Snow Patrol, Idlewild, and Oxes amoung others.
