The God in Hackney

Small Country Eclipse, 2020

£10.00

The God in Hackney’s forthcoming LP, ‘Small Country Eclipse’ reflects on the perils of nationalism, eschatological cannibalism and experimental popular music. ‘Small Country Eclipse’ follows their debut ‘Cave Moderne’ which Andrew Weatherall charted as his number one album of the year for NTS Radio and which Thurston Moore and Byron Coley described as “a very swell blob of UK art-rock of a deeply friend nature”.

1. Queen’s Disco - recasts Kate Middleton as Yoko Ono, i.e. do what thou wilt but NEVER EVER EAT MY CRISPS.

2. The Pub Machine - Neo-pagan SUN_WORSHIP in advance of neo-terrorism during a post-Brexit all-nighter following a good old-fashioned lock-in preceding a revisionist hangover (3 days).

3. Hello Boys - Sugar for the avant-garde... prooop!

4. The Adjoiner - depicts a cannibal restaurant at the end of the western socio-economic structure.

5. Proxima - dying stars and how to work from home during the apocalypse.

6. Side of a Square - imploding sovereignty; the geometry of INDEPENDENCE.

7. 3 Recordings - drunken teenage snoggery leading directly to SATAN.

8. 7 - 11 Car Park. The pathetic moderne; a car-park in which to weep.

9. Crumble & Collapse - building beats body.
Released October 1, 2020.
