Speaking about the single, Hyndman of the band says:\u00a0&#8220;<em>It\u2019s about the time we all went to the tropical world together to see the meerkats. \u2018Down Tools\u2019 out soon, thanks for all your support so far!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Down Tools\u2019 was recorded in Leeds at Greenmount Studios with long-term collaborators,\u00a0Lee Smith\u00a0and\u00a0Jamie Lockhart (Yard Act, Easy Life, Cribs).\u00a0While grief and work balance form themes on the record, Hyndman\u2019s approach is largely made up of abstract, disconnected streams of consciousness and lines liberally taken from books, paintings, films and beyond.\u00a0Hyndman says of the recording process: \u201c<em>going into Greenmount was like returning to a childhood home, it\u2019s great re-connecting with Lee and Jamie. They let us do whatever we want within reason, we have fun and you kind of forget they are actually both amazing at what they do. So much of the guitar had to be improvised in the studio which was stressful but also intrinsic to creating the non-linear vibe of some of the stranger tracks\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mush formed in 2015, its first iteration being as a five-piece noise band with three guitars. Mush\u2019s MO and sound have changed a lot since then as the band continues to grow and hone their sound. On\u00a0\u20183D Routine\u2019, the sound centered around the interweaving of dueling guitars of Steven Tyson and Hyndman. Since Tyson\u2019s death, Hyndman has contributed all of the guitars for\u00a0\u2018Lines Redacted\u2019\u00a0and\u00a0\u2018Down Tools\u2019.\u00a0Recent\u00a0recruit, Myles Kirk is now\u00a0on second guitar duties ushering another new era for the band, joining Dan plus Nick Grant (bass\/vox) and Phil Porter (drums).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/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\/d787ac80-0856-2eef-4b15-89fe20393cc1.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Mush Down Tools cover artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Down Tools\u2019 track listing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
