Watch this! The Battery Farm: Wooden Spoon Number – video premiere

Moston’s finest gutter punks The Battery Farm are back with another taster from their upcoming debut album FLIES. The tension is building says Wayne AF Carey…

After a bruising Working Class Lad earlier this year the lads have been busy rustling up their debut album which promises to blow the roof off wherever they land and stoke up the boiler for a cold winter. Wooden Spoon Number has one of the most extraordinary guitar sounds I’ve heard in a while that sounds like an elephant with a gas mask on attempting a mating call. If you seen them perform this live you’ll know what I’m on about. Hard hitting, loud, sinister and scary as fuck. Nidge Sanders (TAF) has been working his wonders to produce a video as freaky as ever in his own inimitable style up on the moors in Todmorden as you’ll enjoy below. As the band say:

“Wooden Spoon Number is the 2nd single from our forthcoming debut album FLIES – itself out 18th November on Rare Vitamin. It’s a funky, Krautrock-tinged number about the rich inner life of the wooden spoon, and what it takes for a wooden spoon to snap. Or is it about something else entirely? Produced by David Radahd-Jones – Red City Recordings and mastered by Pete Maher Mastering, the single drops with a video by Trust A Fox Photography and The Battery Farm, filmed up in the beastly moors above Todmorden. Naturally, the physical release will come with a couple of exclusive B-sides; live versions of A Working Class Lad and Crude Oil Water from our appearance on MancuniaTV earlier this year.

Can’t wait for you to hear this one. As the world of FLIES slowly unfurls itself we’re moving into uncharted, ungodly territory. Piece by piece, we’re letting you into a nightmare. The next couple of months are going to get dark.”
