Human Worth are proud to present the beautifully unhinged new album ‘Totally Fine’ from London’s The Eurosuite, with a portion of proceeds donated to charity.
Perhaps unsurprisingly for a band featuring members of USA Nails, Nitkowski and Screen Wives, The Eurosuite summon a feral danceable cacophony, falling somewhere between synth-punk, noise-rock and no-wave.
Woozy synths with dentist drill guitars, (mostly) one handed drumming and FX drenched vocals.
Sharing an ethos of “first idea, best idea” the band have now released 3 full length LPs into the wild – ‘Hot Off Depress’ (A Tant Rêver Du Roi) in 2020, ‘Sorry’ (Human Worth) in 2023, and now the group have teamed up again with rising independent UK charitable label Human Worth for ‘Totally Fine’, available 18th October 2024.
Produced by Wayne Adams (Petbrick/Big Lad) at Bear Bites Horse Studios, the band have taken a different approach from their maximalist output on their second LP ‘Sorry’ – do less.
Where the songs on ‘Sorry’ were built from a variety of jams, band member ideas, traded demos and looped phone recordings, the 10 songs within ‘Totally Fine’ were all built and mercilessly edited from a full band improvisations, with individualism, indulgence and egos set aside to better serve the songs.
That spirit of minimalism is threaded through each track, which veer from sinewy post punk (Crustacean Blue), throbbing death disco (Antimatter) and something between driving krautrock, surf rock freakouts and an evil version of the B52s (12 Diphthongs, Houseplants).
Tracks such as ‘Celeryman’ and ‘Reflection Monster’ are arid, spacewalking palette cleansers, stretching the band’s sound further, with cavernous drums, nightmarish lyrics and melting the lines between synth and guitar.
Extra production work and canny mixing by Wayne fleshes out each song to its full potential both subtly (Earworm) and overtly (My Trip Away With Friends).
