Zygmunt
Day & Echo Pressure follow up last year’s full-length, “On Streets That
Know,” with their new Ep, “No Hood, No Dogs, No Food, No Drink”. The band,
which also includes drummer Joe Hyam, guitarist Giancarlo Grasso and bassist
Nathan Kerntiff, recorded the EP in Madrid at Mr. Soul Estudio with engineer
David Hyam, Joe’s cousin, in the heat of July 2014.
Once
again, the band’s music addresses the difficulty and hopefulness of the UK’s
current way of life, with the title being taken from an apt sign in the window
of Zygmunt’s local charity shop. This time the band embraced more streamlined
arrangements than the folk/drone of their debut album, drawing on rock, samba,
disco and jazz rhythms. The new sound was made possible by the wealth of
equipment available at Mr. Soul Estudio – a fully functioning Hammond organ and
Leslie speaker, Wurlitzer and Rhodes electric pianos, a Yamaha upright, a
beautiful vintage Gretsch drumkit, and a wealth of guitars, basses, amps and
microphones.
‘No
Hood, No Dogs, No Food, No Drink’ is released on September 18th and
a release event is scheduled for the 17th September at The Finsbury in
Manor House, London.
