Rixe 'Baptême Du Feu'
£8.49
French Oi! poster boys Rixe return with EP number three. Again it's a four tracker and there is no let up in the quality. It's full of snarl, bite and anthems.
Tenter Le Diable starts the onslaught with some immense tom tom work before heading into another classic Rixe Oi! pounder. Paris-Est begins with a military beat before the guttural vocals and crunching guitars come in and smash you over the head. Every part of this two minutes and 53 seconds song is precise and perfect pop.
Condamné is a straight down the line Oi! smash full of hate and bile and that Rixe wall of sound we know and love already.
Last cut Hécatombe is a total head nodder that has bounce and a chorus to either die for or sing-a-long to Three EPs in and Rixe continue to take Oi! to new heights..
As it is a tradition on the Rixe 7? trilogy Baptême Du Feu 7" comes housed in a reverse board sleeve with collaborative artwork between Nick Rat and Maxime Smadja.
Comes with lyric insert and download code.
Tracklisting:
1. Tenter Le Diable
2. Paris-Est Condamné
3. Hécatome

Achingly personal, incredibly poignant and familiar all at once, Elizabeth Morris' songwriting has deepened and developed since their debut, and while the upcoming album may have a more sombre feel to it Capricornia shows that they've lost none of their ability to create sophisticated, intelligent pop music with an uplifting, joyous feel. And for those of you wondering exactly what Capricornia is all about, Elizabeth explains:
Capricornia is the area in Queensland that I'm from. It has imaginary state lines, roughly around the Tropic of Capricorn, which runs directly through my hometown.
There's a nice 70s monument that marks the spot where the line passes, out on a lonely dirt road where all the kids learn how to drive. My family have lived in this area for over 6 generations but none of my generation remain. It's a beautiful place.
Musically, when we first discussed the album with our producer, I suggested that the feel of Europe should be somewhere between A New England by Kirsty Macoll and Cattle and Cane by The Go-Betweens. I think this song is the closest to that.

Sold outVisit product page →Probably the only disco song in the world to feature ukulele and lap steel, Dreaming is a melancholy toe-tapper of a duet with Monster Bobby of The Pipettes, who turned in a guest vocal so bass-worryingly low that he lost a filling.
A paean to going out dancing and falling in love in a cold climate it'll make you almost nostalgic for the sub-Arctic conditions of the last British winter.
Flip it over and B-side You Still Send Me is a total heartbreaker, recorded absolutely live in the studio, vocals and all, with every breath and creak audible.

Sold outVisit product page →Written while visiting her parents on the Queensland Coast If Loneliness Was Art captures some of that Australian sea air with its laidback reggae-ish beach vibe and summery Sha-la-la-la-las.
Listen carefully though and you'll hear that the carefree disposition of the song masks a quiet despair and longing in the lyrics. As Elizabeth herself says, It's about wanting somebody. Really really badly.Even if the British weather fails to cooperate, If Loneliness Was Art is going to bring a slice of Aussie pop sunshine to proceedings.
