Kicking hard on the heels of Satellites:01, released as album of the week at Rough Trade last Summer, here is the next installment of the extraordinary journey of Johnny Vic - the Englishman living in Copenhagen who writes, plays and produces as Satellites. Having completed 01, and played select shows in London around its release, Johnny felt compelled to go back into the studio to deliver a next set of songs about the ascent of man, continuing the story arc of his first record. In a period when the tortured muddle of being a strong, silent man is finally being debated in the media, here is a record that documents the drama of reconciling the holy trinity of being a Son, Father and Partner with the drive of an Artist. Untangling a man's world. Searching for clarity, colour and perspective. Enmeshed in what Johnny calls 'humanized electronics', these songs are acutely aware of a future legacy for a young man feeling out of time and place. 02 channels the emotional and sonic precision of classic Talk Talk, with moments of unashamed pop, raw intimacy, and spooked electronica. The bonus disc is a 10-track live performance of tracks from 01, 02, a cover of Kraftwerk's 'The Model' and a completely new track, recorded in Saint Saviour's Church, Hampstead, London. Featuring a drum machine, guitar, piano, cello and a 16-piece choir, this is an entirely fresh take on the Satellites sound.Deluxe Double Coloured Vinyl Edition with CD.
