Search - Dardanelles :: Origami Tree-Ep

Origami Tree is the debut for 'dark dancefloor post punkers' DARDANELLES who comprised of ALEX CAMERON - (guitar, vocals), JOSH QUINN-WATSON (vocals, synth), JAMES NICOLSON (bass), RAVI SANDHU (drums). Their listed influences range from JOHNNY CASH to KRAFTWERK, the KLF to NWA, and with good reason. Chop guitars and S&M synth slap against a rhythm section with a disco/dirge split personality. Punk choruses snap into rave breakdowns, indie-rock instrumentals soundtrack whitee rap ad-breaks. The songs on the EP deal with sociopaths ("Origami Tree"), reverse evolution ("Instinct"), exile and betrayal ("Georgi"), mental illness ("One Plus One") and spiritual bankruptcy ("Of Course You Said") and In Dardanelles' hands, they somehow manage to be uplifting and danceable!
