The Space I Occupy/ The Hassle” is the new double A-sided 7” Single from windings, on Out On A Limb Records.
Contained within this new release are two very different sides of the always eclectic windings, one part paranoid cowbell boppin’ rant, and the other, an existential lament complete with kids’ choir. Both songs show the band flexing their musical muscles in ways they have perhaps refrained from thus far.
The past year has seen windings tour, flux, and morph into some kind of well oiled 5 man music machine! After touring their second album “It’s Never Night” throughout last year, playing with the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Kurt Vile, Iron and Wine, and Modest Mouse, and taking in such places as New York, Toronto and Mullingar, they released the poptatsic single “Embury Greenway” in the summer of 2011. Then they toured some more, and promptly hit the the studio to record what would become their next two singles.
Both songs have become live favourites (of the band anyways) “The Hassle” an infectious aggro pop number, heavy on the cowbell, with lashings of squalling guitars beamed in from somewhere in the mid-90’s, and “The Space I Occupy”, an equally infectious, but less rabid, slice of dreamy folk pop, featuring special guests in the form of Ms Geary’s 5th Class Singers.
Windings have just finished recording their 3rd Long Player in Hotel2Tango Studios, Montreal, ably engineered by Efrim Menuck (GY!BE, Silver Mt Zion)
It will be released on Out On A Limb Records Summer 2012
