Stuart Pearce - All This Vast Overproduction - LP

Stuart Pearce release All This Vast Overproduction March 28th via Safe Suburban Home Records. File under: Cont. Rock for mass consumption by relatively few A mash-note to the transatlantic indie underground scenes of the 1980s-90s, ATVO sees SP traverse the musical coalface; exploring every nook and cranny; every crag and every surface perused; all in service to create a contemporary rock recording assured in purpose and astute in praxis. Covering sonic territory drawing beyond the now-established post-punk references, ATVO builds on ‘23s Red Sport International by allowing melody the opportunity to play a more prominent role, as well as the introduction of new sonic textures in the form of acoustic and twelve-string guitars, pianos and vocal harmonies, whilst the inclusion of odd-time signatures and darker timbres drawn from Post-Hardcore offers a welcome contrast to ATVO’s lighter moments, as the listener embarks on a vast journey through the kaleidoscopic terrain unfolding via medium of stereophonic sound over the course of 40 or so minutes. 15 songs are featured, drawn from 19 recorded across Erbistock Mill, JT Soar and Klang-Bop Studios, covering subject matter ranging from the usual rants about the prevailing trends, neurotyp. conventions, social media’s role in the decay of society and failed attempts at unionisation in the contemporary workforce, along with more narrative driven works covering successful revolutionary momentum and the würmhole that brought neoliberalism into being. SP pair unbridled enthusiasm with unlimited ideas; they know their worth and are happy to prove it. Who knows, maybe one day Our Band Could Be Your Life?
