Those Men are a band who play prog/art rock.
In the studio we let ourselves go, indulging in as many overdubs as we feel the songs require, but live we strip them down to the basics and play only what is needed.
We use authentic instruments such as a Shergold 12 string guitar, Guild bass and analogue synths, all of which are circa 1979. Genuine samples sampled from source such as a Hammond organ and Mellotron complement and enhance the sound, but the best bit is that we play everything.
The songs are all recorded, mixed and mastered at EMP Studio.
"Sob God" the studio album and "Double Yellers" the live album are both available at Zingg records. www.zingg.co.uk either as a download or on CDR.
Those Men will be playing as a duo in the London and south east area for the moment, while they continue on with their next recording masterpiece. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoyed our music.
