With ‘System’ creeping up over the horizon, today Easter shares a new track from the album titled ‘Little Honey’:  a raucous synth-punk jam that sounds somewhere between The Cramps, T-Rex or the house band in some Lynchian bar-brawl.

The dance-floor opens up and there he is, in a white suit jacket, pulling shapes, strafing the shadows looking for you. Yes, it’s you. Probably a mistake but you let the beat sashay your arse on over there and you lock hips, grind and gaze into each other’s eye-linered eyes while the crowds sneer and eat their livers in a jealous pique. If only to be that free, they mourn.

Bio

Taught the basics of stride piano and attitude by frat boy Dick Dion at a college in South Carolina when he was a teenager on a sporting scholarship, Easter took this essential knowledge and has drip fed it into his work ever since. Applying the principle to accordion, ancient Japanese drum machine, utterly basic drums and, latterly using it to help produce a guitar sound somewhere between Dave Davies’s and Link Ray’s experiments with speaker cone scarification. Sitting his extraordinary voice on top, flitting from extreme vibrato to early-morning baritone and singing songs about… the words don’t matter it’s the way they’re sung, but if you must know, they take the fastest route, no frills, from the heart to the ears, even when they ‘get political’. F*ck the System everybody
