Музыка и песни Six. By Seven / Six. By Seven

Nottingham's SIX. BY SEVEN, released their first album, "The Things We Make" to rave reviews in 1998. Five Peel Sessions followed and much touring. The band gained a strong underground following, and released four more albums. Lead singer and creative force, Chris Olley preferred to shun the limelight, releasing internet only albums of wide ranging music and building valve distortion boxes for a number of famous bands with fellow guitarist, Martin Cooper. In 2011, Olley formed the drummerless version of SIX. BY SEVEN, macabrely named THE DEATH OF SIX BY SEVEN with long time original member and Hammond Organ player, James Flower and ex-SIX. BY SEVEN bass player, Pete Stevenson as well as Martin Cooper on guitar. Gigs followed and so did five singles and an album. After a wrong phone call to a music shop and a chance meeting in London, Olley found himself having a beer with ex PLACEBO / BOO RADLEYS drummer Steve Hewitt. It turned out to be a magical and divine coming together as Hewitt said, "There's nothing for it, I should throw my drums in the car and come up to Nottingham and get you rocking again." What followed was four months of rehearsing old songs Olley had written over the last five years, before the band recruited producer, Dan Austin (MASSIVE ATTACK, DOVES, BIFFY CLYRO) and recorded 9 tracks at the legendary Moles studio in Bath. This July sees the release of what is arguably SIX.BY SEVEN's most accomplished album. Nine songs of pure drumming dynamite, feral guitars, and a string of songs dealing with the human condition and its broken dreams. It's a new start by a band that refuses to lie down .

This album will only ever be available on Vinyl and Limited to 300 copies. SIX. BY SEVEN KluBMix33 is a unique album. In April 2013 Chris Olley started his MuZiK KluB, which was a way of funding and being able to artistically manage his own vision for his musical and creative output. Every month Olley would sell his demo's and his stories and photographs in an exclusive artistic package, handmade and individually signed and numbered to each buyer. During this period Olley released over 60 songs and several mini albums before re-recording and mixing tracks to compile an album which he felt captured a dark and intense uplifting sound, a sound which was to be reminiscent of the 80's Blitzclub, but then again, nothing like it. "I wanted to feel lonely and detached when I made the music for this record, so it felt like I felt when I was 15, when I first fell in love with music properly. The music of that time was all the early synth stuff and it felt cold and industrial but pure and melodic too. I forced myself into solitude so I could get on with the task of self-examination. I wanted it to be six by seven but I wanted it to be free from six by seven and free from the temptation to just follow on from what had gone before. I wanted detatchment, detatchment and tranquility." CHRIS OLLEY. Recorded entirely onto a Tascam 8 track recorder through an SSL Desk, with only guitars and vintage analogue synthesizer, it's a new sound, it's six by seven firing on all cylinders, in a dark basement club, jamming with Bauhaus and Fad Gadget and early Kraftwerk. At times the record is sparse and melodic and other times, tracks like the 9 minute 'Stealth Wind' and the gargantuan 'Master Race' are as heavy as or even heavier than any six by seven songs before. As promised, everyone who bought a MuZiK KluB release was given a credit on the album as executive producer Record Label: SNSM Style: Independent
