SUMMARY:Sulfate - And It Wants - Album Release Tour
LOCATION:The Crown Hotel
DESCRIPTION:Feral\, devolved and running on instinct\, the six songs on Sul
 fate’s third album ‘And It Wants’ grapple between David Harris unlea
 shing on his drum kit\, Zac Arnold conjuring fuzz and feedback and Peter R
 uddell’s taut\, wiry guitar-work and commanding baritone. Written and re
 corded in New Lynn’s industrial area\, this new batch of songs were crea
 ted on a diet of Cormac McCarthy novels\, Adam Curtis documentaries and th
 e madness of gothic horror. Since recording\, Sulfate's line up has expand
 ed once more\, introducing multi-instrumentalist Louisa Nicklin to the ban
 d's inexorable live performances. Sonically\, Sulfate set out some paramet
 ers at the outset of the album recordings - and it was important for thing
 s to sound real. The band wanted real instruments to be played\, and\, imp
 ortantly\, sound like they’re being played\, by real\, living people. Th
 is was a conscious reaction to the modern\, online\, perfect-existence\, s
 ocial media-ness of it all. Audio engineer Emily Wheatcroft-Snape was reco
 mmended to the band because of her ability to capture sounds with accuracy
  and precision - and she encapsulated the live band just as they had hoped
 . Thematically\, ‘And It Wants’ sees Ruddell clinging to optimism and 
 joy while being subject to the existential nihilism of our current hyperno
 rmal\, western reality. “Death is all through this record. The songs wer
 e born out of the feeling that there are no rules\, that nothing matters\,
  and that we all die. That we dance around the fact that death comes for u
 s all\, but we never really\, truly\, acknowledge it - it’s just too big
  or too heavy to have any kind of impact on our day to day existence. The 
 intent is to provide a sonic backdrop to dance ecstatically\, liberated\, 
 as the world around you burns. Find comfort and joy in things while you ca
 n\, even as the end draws near and darkness begins to ruminate.” ‘And 
 It Wants’ is out digitally\, and on two exclusive vinyl variants via Fly
 ing Nun Records and Holiday Records on October 23rd. https://linktr.ee/Sul
