Like its predecessor \u20183D Routine\u2019 is a sensory overload of clattering, hooky, guitar work. However, this time space emerges between the onslaughts and in this respite, room is found for new emotional depth. More expansive than ever before, \u20183D Routine\u2019 manages to maintain the rawness of a classic debut but it\u2019s experimentation and variety portray a band unlikely to rest on their \u2018guitar<br>band\u2019 chops.<br><br>First single, <em>Eat the Etiquette<\/em>, described by Hyndman as a \u201c<em>a bit of a stream of consciousness type rant\u201d<\/em>, takes aim at the use of \u2018common sense\u2019 as societal weapon; the<em>&nbsp;\u201csick laughing track of malicious intent\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>making a mockery of progressive ideas, while \u201c<em>manufactured sense\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;helps maintain the underlying and iniquitous structures of wealth and power.&nbsp;It\u2019s out now in all the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-cyuojt-ejlihlkhu-t\/\">usual places<\/a>.

Finally settling on a lineup of Nick Grant (bass), Tyson (guitar) and Phil Porter (drums) the band\u2019s progression has taken them far beyond this original vision.<br><br>Having garnered local attention in the early days for their unhinged and often calamitous live shows in Leeds, it was the unlikely radio hit \u2018Alternative Facts\u2019, (clocking in at an uncompromising ten minutes) that brought the Mush to the attention of a wider audience. The song, one of the last releases for the legendary Too Pure Singles Club saw early support from Marc Riley and others on BBC 6 Music with them playing multiple sessions, and the follow up single, \u2018Gig Economy\u2019 hopping onto the 6 Music playlist. Roaming further afield from their hometown, Mush spent the first half of 2019 heading out around the UK, earning a reputation for their intense live performances, supporting the likes of Girl Band, The Lovely Eggs, Yak, Shame and Stereolab, as well as releasing the \u2018Induction Party\u2019 EP to great acclaim. At the tail end of summer of 2019 Mush headed to Leeds\u2019 Green Mount Studio and with Andy Savours (Dream Wife, Our Girl, My Bloody Valentine) manning the mixing desk, their debut LP, \u20183D Routine\u2019 was born.<br><br>If the EP was intended as admittance to the cult, \u20183D Routine\u2019 is a fully-fledged manifesto for the age of misinformation. The twin disciplines of surrealism and realism collide in the data stream, creating the absurdity of modern times. It\u2019s more than the lyrical content that\u2019s mercurial with Mush. Tracks such as \u2018Revising My Fee\u2019s incisive yet worldly lyrics comment on the work\/life balance, income to rent ratios and the increasingly worrying financial landscape for the younger generation, all set against a backdrop of a decade of austerity:&nbsp;<em>\u201cmeal-deal critique, aspirational creed\u201d<\/em>. It\u2019s a vital and instructive opener for the record, setting the tone for what comes next.<br><br>The way in which the album brazenly moves from polished 3- minute punk tracks, to avant-garde spoken word, to sardonic-political funk, whilst sounding like the same band is testament to an uncompromisingly unrefined ethic and compounds the jarring nature of Mush. Together, the songs form a unified, abrasive, emotive, frenetic and entirely beguiling concoction of sound and opinion, a fast-moving snapshot of current times, relatable, politically minded and incredibly personal. Music for those who want their guitars loud and weird, and their political commentary a little less \u2018on the nose\u2019.<br><br>&#8216;3D Routine&#8217; is available on ltd edition orange coloured vinyl from Mush\u2019s website&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-cyuojt-ejlihlkhu-i\/\">here<\/a>&nbsp;and super limited edition slime vinyl from Rough Trade, Jumbo and Crash record shops.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D1023EEB-3D16-494F-9E78-D3D2041E468D.jpeg?resize=566%2C566\" alt=\"Mush 3-D Routine cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-32779\" width=\"566\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D1023EEB-3D16-494F-9E78-D3D2041E468D.jpeg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D1023EEB-3D16-494F-9E78-D3D2041E468D.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D1023EEB-3D16-494F-9E78-D3D2041E468D.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D1023EEB-3D16-494F-9E78-D3D2041E468D.jpeg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mush<br>&#8216;3D Routine&#8217;<\/strong><br><em>Memphis Industries<\/em><br><em><a href=\"x-apple-data-detectors:\/\/6\">14th Feb 2020<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
