Therapy? - Deathstimate
Thursday 10th December, 2015
They say: "This might be my favourite track on the record. I had the riff and the chorus for this, and I said to Tom Dalgety ‘I want this to sound like Portishead are playing Black Sabbath’. He put together a drum loop and got Neil to play over it, and I played the riff, and we liked how it sounded, with this really heavy, almost 70’s style riff over the top of these funky drums. The day after we demoed it, Tom came down to breakfast and played us a track he’d heard online, with Beth [Gibbons] from Portishead covering the song ‘Black Sabbath’, so we were quite chuffed that that concept was actually a reality!” - Andy Cairns.
We say: "Proving that you don’t have to be fast to be heavy, this crushing slab of doom-rock takes no prisoners. Slowing things down this much showcases Therapy? in a new and welcome light, with dual vocals and apocalyptic samples adding further depth to a serious single.”
