{"product_id":"call-me-terry","title":"Call Me Terry","description":"\u003cp\u003eCall me Terry! It’s been a hot minute since we last heard from \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e, what’s he been up to? Five years on from their last album, \u003cem\u003eI’m Terry\u003c\/em\u003e, the Australian post-punk quartet proudly present their new record, \u003cem\u003eCall Me Terry\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e is made up of pairs Amy Hill and Al Montfort, and Xanthe Waite and Zephyr Pavey who started playing together for the fun of it in 2016. Seven years, four albums, and three EP’s later, \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e is ready to pick up the phone again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past few years, \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e have kept themselves busy - but not only with \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e things. On top of numerous releases with alternating side projects (Constant Mongrel, The UV Race, Primo!, Sleeper and Snake, Chateau, Rocky, the list goes on… ) members of \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e have moved interstate, undertaken studies, had children, and started new fields of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e began sharing the demos for \u003cem\u003eCall Me Terry\u003c\/em\u003e online with each other in 2020 - as we all did - before getting together in 2021 at their trusty rehearsal space to record the beds. Overdubs were completed at \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e’s homes over the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLyrically, in true \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e fashion, the record wastes no time in scrutinising Australia’s corrupt, colonial history. They sing it loud and sprawl it across the jacket of this record, highlighting the greed, privilege, and entitlement of white, wealthy “Australia” which they won’t stand a second for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, ‘\u003cem\u003eCall Me Terry\u003c\/em\u003e’ still has the classic \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e sound; the four vocals singing as one gang, sharp guitars and quirky, burbling synths, the rolling bass and drums, all amidst their clever, dancey pop songs. Since day dot it’s been hard to reference a band that really sounds like \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is always amazing. Truly a sound of their own!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the sugar on top here may just be some of their finest horn, string, and piano performances to date - all of which never feel crowded, cluttered, or over-involved. More just excellent, necessary melodies. Rest assured Al still gives his famed Fuzz Factory a workout - and throws his tremolo into the pedal chain. It goes off. Tremolo is the order of the day for Amy and Xanthe too who also embrace the wobble, whilst Zephyr keeps the pulse of their politico-pop anchored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e isn’t afraid to call the shots and \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e isn’t afraid to point the finger. Listen to what \u003cstrong\u003eTerry\u003c\/strong\u003e has to say.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Upset The Rhythm","offers":[{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50477524123979,"sku":"2008696","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50477522223435,"sku":"2008694","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50477523140939,"sku":"2008695","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/UTR154_92068cfa_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727473831","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/call-me-terry","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
