The Physics House Band have released the first taste of their new record in the form of single ‘Calypso’, which is streaming above right now.
The Brighton-based trio will release mini-album Mercury Fountain on April 21 via Small Pond Records. It is the band’s follow up to their 2013 debut EP, Horizons/Rapture, and has been produced by Joel Magill and Raven Bush.
The psych-rock group focused on experimentation throughout the recording and production process, with the band attempting to replicate the feeling of diving into a Mercury Fountain, as the album begins and ends with the same piece of music, with a reprise in the middle.
The band also come endorsed by Stewart Lee. The comedian calls their latest effort a “super-dense sci-fi mindfuck of a thing,” adding that “Mercury Fountain doesn’t stop, a twenty-nine minute surge of tracks that it would be a crime to split apart, the kind of work The Physics House Band’s progenitors aimed at but never quite produce.”
They will play live in the UK across May with shows in Manchester (May 7), at Glasgow’s The Hug And Pint (May 8), Leeds’ Brudenell Social Club (May 9), Brighton’s The Haunt (May 11) and London’s Kamio (May 12).
