English synth band The Last of The Fallen Angels teamed up with singer Hannah Robinson for a seductive triphop song, Red Dress. It is an exploration of an Trans-Atlantic relationship, expectations and gender roles. The band's bassist Conrad McQueen points to classics like Lola and Walk on the Wild Side as sources of inspiration to tackle the subject.
With the repeated "I love you in the red dress" line acting as a sort of mantra the track plays mindgames with the listener, whose perspective keeps changing as the song progresses. Simon Ellis (Spice Girls, S Club 7, Westlife) was once again on board as producer and mixing guru.
English synth band The Last of The Fallen Angels travelled to another planet for the video shoot for their new single Edge of the World", thanks to some green screen magic. As per usual Victoria Owsnett in on point with her vocals, with Conrad McQueen having her back every now and then. Simon Ellis and McQueen created gently pulsating backing track, that has earworm quality (but in a good way).
The single will be released on all the usual digital outlets on March 31.
Live date:
English synth band The Last of The Fallen Angels have rounded up wealth of guest musicians for their debut album, Radio Babylon, a collection of songs presented as an '80s radio broadcast, with DJ chatter in between the tracks. Bookended by the dreamy vocals of Victoria Owsnett on Press Play and Press Eject it is a throwback to the heyday of Northern English post-punk and early dance - with Peter Hook's signature bass as the driving force for Kisses, and Laura Rikenbacker and Jeff Black taking a late night stroll with Bowie In Berlin.
All tracks get the opportunity to grow organically, finding a groove that can run its course. Definitely old school synth driven indie stuff that will be embraced by listeners with an above average attention span. The orchestated Ocean with Renee LoBue will find its way to countless documentaries in the years to come.
