In support of their debut album release on Tirk and forthcoming visit to the UK to appear on BBC 6 Music’s Marc Riley show on the 20th of March, Tim Chad & Sherry are set to release a digital single with ‘Rocket Tonight’, plus two exclusive unheard B-sides called This Could Be Our Song’ and ‘Now That’s Love’.
Tim, Chad & Sherry’s music is an oddly compelling mix of slinky, raucous rock, feet-dragging Dadaist grooves and uplifting melodious soul accentuated with electronics and subtle motorik drum-machine rhythms. In describing their sound, the band says it best: “PSYCH DANCE. If Steely Dan, The Flaming Lips and R Kelly had a love child, you’d have Tim Chad and Sherry.”
‘Rocket Tonight’ is all subtle RnB flavours emanating through the vocal harmonies, suspended before the guitar and keys solos peel away into a noisy, harmonic crescendo. ‘This could be Out Song’ is a woozy alt-ballad, part Beach Boys part Beck with twinkly slide guitar and heaps of warm low end fuzz. Sublime. To finish, ‘Now That’s Love’ delivers a melancholic punch. Diverse textures flood the ears to create an intricate patchwork of wierdo sounds and twisted grooves.
