Wellwater Conspiracy’s music exists at that moment when pop music started to fracture and go far further out.

Presley returns with a new album ‘Chaos and Calypso’, due October 20th via God Unknown Records. Following a period of activity in May of this year, John broke a three-year hiatus with the brooding, hypnotic single ‘Sinnerman’ (a collaboration with friend Laura-Marty Carter from Blood Red Shoes), and live shows with Radiohead’s Philip Selway and Gaz Coombes (Supergrass). ‘Chaos and Calypso’ features the first new music from Presley since his debut album ‘As The Night Draws In’ in 2019 and the vinyl only lockdown release ‘Albany Sessions’, which were both released to great acclaim, with Q Magazine calling the album ‘…a bold, striking debut’ and a nearly perfect review in Rolling Stone France. Presley's music is hard to categorize but that is its strength - from folk blues noir moments to tasteful post rock walls of sound, - classic songwriting to improvised, experimental moments, Presley is constantly creating a tapestry that will engage, challenge and inspire. Presley plays guitar, bass and pedal steel on the new record and is an in-demand player too - Nadine Shah, Duke Garwood, Laura-Mary Carter, Juanita Stein and Smoke Fairies have all had him join their line ups. A diary piece that echoes a period of ill health, of spiralling vertigo and misdiagnoses, ‘Chaos and Calypso’ shows Presley’s trademark guitar tone in full effect with enough space in the mix to weave in a new palette of textures from drum machines and synths throughout. First single ‘Sinnerman’ featured The Invisible’s Tom Herbert (a hugely respected player on the London Jazz scene with Shabaka Hutchings, Beth Orton’s band, London Brew (with Shabaka) etc) on double bass and was recorded with Ian Davenport at Courtyard Studios with additional vocals come from Laura-Mary Carter (Blood Red Shoes).Across the album’s twelve tracks, Presley tackles a wide breadth of musical and lyrical themes throughout the vast landscape of ‘Chaos and Calypso’. There’s ‘Sea Of Deserters’ with its utter dissatisfaction felt at the current political climate; “the utter disgust and frustration in the powers that be. Sheer entitlement of some individuals, and the mess many have left behind for future generations. Selfish, unparalleled, uneducated greed,” explains John and you can clearly hear the raw frustration in his voice. The anger is amplified by the squealing clarinet and soaring horns by legendary British musician Terry Edwards (who has performed with a great variety of artists, including PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Gallon Drunk, Lydia Lunch, Tom Waits etc).Then there’s ‘Hold The Ties’, which finds Presley following a stream of consciousness, recorded late one night at Courtyard in a trance like state, the song and feeling swelled in the moment, with some beautiful double bass playing again by The Invisible’s Tom Herbert. ‘Into The Fire’ again demonstrates Presley’s musical dexterity, inspired by his long drives through the Sussex Downs to London, the song was recorded live with John playing pedal steel and singing at the same time. “I love the ambiguity and resonance of a pedal steel, it’s a serene instrument,” he says. The album closes with ‘The Sequel, a song that John says is about “all about hypocrites. I’ve encountered a few in recent years. Preaching one thing and really living another.” He expresses this annoyance by trying to create the most jagged and distorted sound he could generate with an amp and fuzz box.

A Billion Sparks. Fin.’. On past records Dare has fought beasts and beats alike, waging a fuzz war and tackling the biggest topics the world has to face; Doom scrolling, capitalist demagogues, a passionate dislike of the beach in summer. On this record he leaves the sardonic frustration behind for sarcastic existentialism, zeroing in on the big philosophical questions, and the pedantic shards of nonsense that make up our existence. Piling up the synths, noise boxes and guitar pedals, Dez set about building a soundscape of noise and ideas around the nature of reality, time, and how we interact with them. From the music you would play in your last moments, to the reverse Darwinism of modern society, to arguing with time itself, and very boring people talking at you, all is covered here for the aspiring existentialist. The self-produced Australian has spent over 3 decades producing music, releasing and touring bands, and doing live sound for z-grade metal bands. Growing up in the coastal town of Geelong (Djilang) in Australia, he was introduced to the DIY punk and rock scene at 15 and this community and the ideas rooted in the underground music scene have guided his output and ethics throughout his career. This year Dez will be joining forces with label titans God Unknown (Cassels \/ Duke Garwood \/ James Johnston + Steve Gullick \/ KLÄMP \/ Oneida \/ Oneida \/ Laura Loriga \/ Monster Magnet \/ Wellwater Conspiracy [Soundgarden + Monster Magnet]) and will be producing a deluxe version of the release that will include a 12 page comic illustrated by long time collaborator Mike Keane.

The debut album was described by Joe Banks for Shindig! Magazine as; “Shivering slabs of drone blues transcendentalism…a burning junkyard of sheet metal blues… Hot stuff.” Volume 2 builds on the skronk blues guitar, sax and electronic drones of it’s predecessor, to explore cosmic free jazz, concrete exotica and dub, channelling influences of Moondog, Terry Riley, 75 Dollar Bill and Wolf Eyes. Playing like the imagined film soundtracks to a dystopian, re-wilded, post eco crash world in the style of Tarkovsky's ‘Stalker’ and ’Solaris’, Jodorowsky's surreal desert western ‘El Topo’, or the early novels of JG Ballard.

His new band project now combines avant swamp blues heaviosity with kosmic free jazz experimentalism in a fluid collective of godless raag brut improvisations - sonic visions of an hallucinatory apocalyptic near future.

Underpinned by layers of acoustic and electronic drone instruments and fed through an arsenal of pedalboard electronics that would make Kevin Shields weep, the blues are transmogrified, unhinged, reduced and re-imagined as intoxicating, trance-inducing, feedback-drenched noise paintings. THE JONNY HALIFAX INVOCATION follows Jonny’s junkshop skronk blues one man band Honkeyfinger, and the Julian Cope endorsed gospel fuzz psychedelia of Jonny Halifax \u0026amp; The Howling Truth, whilst not forgetting his ambient drone metal side project; Deathenteredinerror.

This was a band revelling in bad trips and the death of the hippy dream with a Manson Family stare, playing squelchy lo-fi psychedelic music with a rabid punk rock sneer, like The Stooges terrorising Hawkwind at the most unpleasant free festival imaginable. There were tales of entire audiences at their gigs being spiked with LSD. It didn’t matter if this was true or not, it all added to the mystique.

Later, I decided to go back and make a record there - inthis place which holds an almost mythological meaning to me. To record music in a city which is more or less a dream is affecting. One is out of place - a visitor-time traveler. Visiting scenes. Alienating and yet comforting. These songs are about memories -romances - ideas - which remain alive and ever changing. The reality of experience itself blurred by time. Music is of course also a conversation-between riffs, motifs- questions and answers. And more questions. Jokes, language, flirtations. Atmosphere. Ultimately, the longest conversation we may ever have is with ourselves. Sitting with a notebook, watching the street life - mopeds \u0026amp; graffiti.
