about

‘Dexys Midnight Motherfucker’ is a DIY Garage / Soul floor shaker clocking in at 160bpm. Instrumentation is Guitar / Bass / Floor Tom / Snare / Sleigh Bells / Tambourine / Organ / Vocals and It also features i stolen clip of Dexys founder Kevin Rowland talking to Mark Kermode the styling of his band. Dexys Midnight Runners scored two number one hits in the early 80s with Geno and then the wildly different Come On Eileen. They as well as The Specials and Human League are some of my earliest childhood memories of music and Ive always followed and loved these three groups [and a few others its fair to say] ever since. Dexys inspire me as an artist because of their passion, their aesthetic and the singularity of Rowlands vision of making something beautiful and pure, a vision that transcended whatever music or style was popular at the time. The track contains commentary on gender equality, a testimony to my love of Dexys and frequent use of the word Motherfucker. Notably im also pushing myself to sing in a register that it a bit outside my range which gives the pretty powerful vocal approach some fragility. Personally I love this recording, its very energetic.
