Ipso Facto - Eyes And Ears
With their Mary Quant hairdos and their strict black and white op-art-meets-The-Addams-Family dress code, you can be sure that Ipso Facto’s musical hearts lie in the 60s.
The London-based quartet formed through a series of bus-stop encounters and old friendships to breathe life into singer/guitarist Rosalie Cunningham’s home recorded demos. With tremelo heavy guitar lines and organ riffs, the effect is somewhere between the Banshees, Clinic and the 13th Floor Elevators – the sort of thing you might hear in a groovy club scene in a low budget ‘60s horror flick. Yes, that good.
Forthcoming single Circle of Fifths (out on Mute on October 20) has been recorded with John Rivers, who engineered The Specials’ Ghost Town and is featured this week as the ‘five-day favourite’ on Q Radio’s QPM show throughout this week.
Today’s featured track is the recent limited edition release Ears And Eyes (erm, partly because we couldn’t find Circle Of Fifths, or it’s joint A-side, Six And Three-Quarters, streaming anywhere). It’s still a perfect introduction to the band’s sound with its creepy guitar line. Hear it here.
