The record sees Korody digging through and channeling three decades of anthemic British bands, from the angular guitars of late 70\u2019s post-punk (Gang Of Four, Wire), to the lush gloom of 80&#8217;s electro-pop (Tears for Fears, OMD), with the dance floor psychedelia of the Manchester sound (Primal Scream, Happy Mondays), and through the late &#8217;90s and early 2000s post-punk\/new wave revivalists,\u00a0\u2018Only Up\u2019 celebrates it&#8217;s sound cathartically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hard Boiled Wonderland<\/em> finds Korody working\u00a0between the sounds of Chemical Brothers\u00a0disco and the colourful house aesthetics of The Orb and Primal Scream&#8217;s\u00a0\u2018Screamadelica<em>\u2019.\u00a0<\/em>Heady rhythms are bedded with fuzzy\u00a0synths and angular guitars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the new single, Korody\u00a0says: &#8220;<em>Hard Boiled Wonderland is an important track to me because it was the first song on the album I put vocals down for. I essentially found my &#8220;new voice&#8221; which ends up dominating the record. I really love the energy of this track so much. Lyrically it&#8217;s the only song that isn&#8217;t about anything specific. It&#8217;s a complete stream of consciousness style of writing as a result of the early stages of the pandemic and feeling extremely existential which ends up making the song quite nihilistic while still anthemic.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When originally asked to make this album for Hand Drawn Dracula, Korody and his long time friend and music collaborator Kyle Connolly (Orville Peck, The Seams, Wish) quickly threw down ideas in a session, however with Connolly embarking on a world tour, and with Korody&#8217;s demanding schedule at his Candle Recording Studio, the project sat unattended. But by the time of the album&#8217;s delivery deadline, Korody not only orchestrated a creative ensemble of friends and collaborators, he wrote, recorded and mixed the entirety of the album\u00a0in two weeks\u00a0without a single regret or compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcusercontent.com\/4c25773ce0262fea87830a367\/_compresseds\/ed875e4b-7abb-8c83-9528-7caf5c919eaa.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Only Up\u2019 track listing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
