Volcano! - Apple Or A Gun - 7"

Facts Listening to volcano! is a journey through highs and lows, through confusion and clarity. Like much of their work, ‘Apple Or A Gun’ (the first single from their groundbreaking debut album Beautiful Seizure), refuses to be pigeonholed, or indeed easily comprehended on first listen. But it will repay your attention a hundredfold. With dramatic stylistic shifts and a typically ambitious arrangement, the song veers from delicate to possessed in the blink of an eye. Lucid but anarchic, never allowing the listener a moment to relax. Yet despite the apparent chaos, melody is never sacrificed. The single is backed with a recording of a live favourite that will only ever appear on this release: ‘I’ve Been Loving You Since Desert Storm’.
