SERVICES NEW EP RELEASE JUNE 30th
EAT PREY LOVE
Breaking boundaries, breaking beats, breaking necks high octane NYC electronic duo SERVICES blend, bend and destroy live instruments and samples with passion and painstaking craft and abandon on their brand-spanking new EP: EAT PREY LOVE (A Touch Of Class Recordings).
Having toured all over North America and Europe with bands such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Faint, and The Presets in rock clubs, discos, and in your bedrooms...and as well as at All Tomorrows Parties Festival in the UK and the Primavera Sound Festival in Spain, SERVICES deliver EAT PREY LOVE from the pressure-cooker of the NYC underground as the follow-up to 2005's full-length Your Desire Is My Business (A Touch Of Class Recordings). Produced by the "can do no wrong" disco precision masters A Touch Of Class (Oliver Stumm and Domie Clausen), and with the matchless Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's on drums, SERVICES "two-man keyboard assault team" have refined their chops to create the ultimate modern record.
Since 2004 SERVICES have been wowing audiences with their legendary shows. Brimming with personality and character, TRZTN achieves frontman status in the likes of a Brian Ferry (Big Black) with Christopher Pravdica backing him up with on-point machine management. Before Services, TRZTN and Christopher were in the well-known noise-rock band Flux Information Sciences, whose last record was released on M. Gira's Young God Records and was featured in the award-winning documentary Kill Your Idols.
Resolute in their creation of challenging high-concept music, the two stay close to their live show performance of smart, stop and go machine-gun fire of beats and sample driven rock played in real time without a sequencer. "The duo doesn't just rock the synths," Elisabeth Vincentelli from Time Out New York praises, "It also rolls and swings and shimmies them, cranking out one booty-shaking number after another like Blues Explosion crossed with the roar of a Sherman tank!"
The recently released video for the rousing single "Presenter" directed by Barnaby Clay is the perfect metaphor to describe the EP: natural, classy and stoic, but willing to get down, filthy and brutal. Other singles off the EP include the smash dance hit remix of "Element Of Danger" by MSTRKRFT, which was also hand-picked and released on Steve Aoki's Mixtape, as well as the intense remix of "Alive " by Nick Zinner of the YYY's.
A dancey, obscure mélange in the vein of today's MGMT and LCD Soundsystem, or yesterday's Blur, James Chance, and DNA; throwing in Slayer for tea-time, Beastie Boys for lunch, and Roxy Music in between the sheets (and don't forget your friends bands!!), EAT PREY LOVE is essential for any library/party/intellect with a passion for and understanding of what modern pop-rock-electronic music should sound like TODAY.
PAST PRESS:
- XLR8R: "Disruption and destruction drive New York's metal deconstructionists A band quite unlike what you may have heard before."
- Time Out New York: "Air-punching, headbanging hard rock one heavy-duty booty-shaking number after the other."
- The Fader: "Fun, finely crafted electrometal we haven't really heard the likes since the Grand Royal DHR days of yore."
- Village Voice: "Finger-diddle sampled heavy-metal guitar riffs that fart-blossom into dastardly electro-industrial candies."
