Einstein's Getaway

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Manchester's Stranger Son of WB deliver an incredible mix of alt-rock and disco-not-disco styles, at one minute dropping the funk and at others snarling their way through the harshest of sounds - ESG meets The Birthday Party anyone? Featuring Warp Records signing Lonelady on guitar, championed by the likes of Mark Riley and bands such as Part Chimp, this is for fans of James White & The Blacks/The Contortions, The Fall, ESG, Liquid Liquid and Suicide

REZENSION
SSOWB creator, songwriter, and singer Gareth Smith is apparently a bit of a temperamental character, which may go someway to explaining why the Manchester-based band currently find themselves on about their tenth different line-up. He would do well to keep together the recruits that have put together this very impressive first LP however, particularly considering the tracks were supposedly only laid down following a handful of brief rehearsals. Einstein s Getaway harnesses a seminally post-punk/no wave ethos, whilst careening from funk driven alt-rock to cowbell bashing disco-not-disco, and even downbeat avant-rock along the way - all the while presided over by the unmistakably dysfunctional delivery of SSOWB s key protagonist. Opener and title track Einstein s Getaway bops along to a loose funk groove before Smith s ramshackle yelps charge in, bringing to mind no wave luminary James White of The Contortions.but with more contortion. Elsewhere, Engine is post-punk gold-dust; a pimped up juggernaut with customised glam keys and chunky bass, whilst the wild vocals on Crawl , a Birthday Party meets hyped-up Modest Mouse brute of a track, seem to literally fall and stumble out the speakers. After a brief respite by way of the disarming Mog's Pill and Hardy s Farm , the album closes with P.A.Y . Visceral in a weirdo standing in the street and screaming at a lamp-post kind of way , it brings the album howling and crashing to an entirely unceremonious halt. Brilliant. --Jim Finucane --pimpguides.com - Record Reviews (Feb/Mar 09)

BIOGRAPHIE DER MITWIRKENDEN
To date, Stranger Son of WB has been through about ten different lineups, each time the band's shifting sound being held together by the underlying style of Gareth Smith's songwriting coupled with his erratic vocal delivery. Following on from a couple of highly acclaimed singles on the Kum Ba Yah and Marquis Cha Cha labels, ('Snakes' and 'Hot Banana Wave', respectively), and a Marc Riley session, Smith locked himself away in his Chorlton flat, detaching himself from the immediate surroundings of a scene of 'young man nu-folkie flat-cap wearing Nathan Barley-type' chumpery, and battered out the scratchy, 4-track demos of the songs that would eventually become 'Einstein's Getaway'
