Influences
Imagine a piano keyboard, eighty-eight keys, only eighty-eight and yet, and yet, new tunes, melodies, harmonies are being composed upon hundreds of keyboards every day in Dorset alone. Our language, Tiger, our language, hundreds of thousands of available words, frillions of possible legitimate new ideas, so that I can
say this sentence and be confident it has never been uttered before in the history of human communication: "Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers." One sentence, common words, but never before placed in that order. And yet, oh and yet, all of us spend our days saying the same things to each other, time after weary time, living by clichaic, learned response: "I love you", "Don't go in there", "You have no right to say that", "shut
up", "I'm hungry", "that hurt", "why should I?", "it's not my fault", "help", "Marjorie is dead". You see? That surely is a thought to take out for a cream tea on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Sounds Like
"Almost metallic, yet closer to the realms of post-rock or noise-rock - hard-driving mainly instrumental tracks that build, drop out, hammer back in and ghost off into ambience before swinging it all back up in your face."
SOURCE Magazine
"The sound the band creates is dark and brooding, yet harmonic and engaging. The typical post-rock formula compromised for a direct approach that concerns itself with the sheer quantitative force driving the music."
Decoy Music
"The Cathode Ray Syndrome* are, like their goggle-box namesake, at their best an immersive experience. Let yourself go, fall into the stop-start-go-again-change-again riffing and find yourself wandering. Wondering how they can fit everything you ever needed to know about hardcore into a half-minute slapped into the middle of something that was itself the condensed essence of Pink Floyd's best post-Barrett moments and somehow still carries the beat and the mood and the rhythm and the immersion"
the Cathode Ray Syndrome* or just plain old CRS* to those that make miniature flyers, formed many many moons ago. practicing by telepathic connection, they meet in person only to play famously shambolic gigs. there are quite clearly four of them, ranged around the country. that is fact.
the CRS* site has more tunes, along with gig listings past and present and many many photographs of the band sweating, gurning and engaging in queer behaviour.
Over the years, the band made three records - an eponymous debut, the 7-track follow-up 'Use Forgotten Tools' and 'ARGH e.p.', their latest offering released earlier this year. Check the website for details on how to get hold of them.
