Capitalist Confession (Live)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-ghHq0dpmk

Recorded Summer 2018 at the Garlic Mansion & Parr St Studios.

The backbone of ‘Please Slow Down’ was recorded at Parr St. Studios, Liverpool, and was co-produced and mixed by Chris Taylor (Bill Ryder-Jones, Our Girl, The Coral). The result is an intricately layered EP, with richness and weight. This new set of songs possess a more robust, full-band sound than Seatbelts’ previous releases, providing a detailed and vibrant listening experience.

Abigail Woods (vocals/keyboards), delivers a plethora of angelic, Nancy-meets-Nico vocal stylings, whilst Alex Quinn’s (drums/percussion) self-engineered drum sound keeps a stalwart, rough-hewn rhythm.

Lyrically, Please Slow Down seems to be concerned with the trappings of our capitalist society. James Madden (vocals/guitars) comments, “The EP was written at a time when we felt overwhelmed, overworked, and over-tired. Mark Fisher’s writings came to the rescue. His work contextualises the problems with our capitalist system - cries out for an alternative. Many attempts to slow things down were undertaken last summer (2018), from watching Francios Trauffaut’s flmography late into the evenings, to listening to a Miles Davis’ 'Kind Of Blue' every morning in the shower.”

At a time when Western society seems to be running away with itself, Please Slow Down seems like a sensible request.
