Big Truck, the new band from Soft Play’s Laurie Vincent, have revealed all of the details of their first full body of work.
Titled ‘Midday At The Middleway’, it will be released on August 28 via Marshall Records.
The artwork looks like this:
Whilst the tracklisting is more like this:
1. ‘Feel Me?…’
2. ‘Central Reservation Blues’
3. ‘Polyester Vibrations (and the Handstand Currency)’
4. ‘Surf The Suffering’
5. ‘Collided’
6. ‘Head So Full (algae riddim)’
7. ‘Rebounder’
8. ‘Dress For All Weathers’
9. ‘Interlude’
10. ‘Heavensent’
11. ‘Keep On Trucking’
The record will feature the previously shared debut single ‘Central Reservation Blues’, as well as the freshly unleashed ‘Collided’. A heady, dizzying, soulful piece of patient, powerful and polarising post-everything, it is another surefire sign that this is a band who will be creating sounds that you have never heard before.
Laurie had this to say about the track, stating, “‘Collided’ is one of my favourite songs on the record. My musicianship is quite untrained, and I didn’t even realise I was writing it in 6/8 time. That’s the kind of stuff that’s been allowed to shine on this record, because it’s a full band and Sam’s jazz background helps those moments to work.”
Whilst drummer Sam Coppin adds, “‘Collided’ has this quality that I think is a snapshot into how good Laurie is. It scratches the surface of what he is going to reveal as a result of this project.”
