The improvised, acoustic, instrumental triangle at the heart of S!nk expands, contracts and explodes on this April fools pre-release. Accordion, violin and saxophones are powerfully underpinned by acoustic bass and percussion opening space for vocals to rise and soar through seven contemporary songs.
Recorded with an ear for the true take by Tim Lane (Stables Project Studio) and buffed to a studio sheen by producer Marty Hayley (Metro 13 Music) this is a different face of S!nk to the site-specific explorations of deep water and deep time on their Hoy Sound EP or the pin-drop experimental acoustic lyricism of their 2015 debut Ossicles. Is this pop music?
“Like Pianodrome itself, S!nk’s music makes me happy.”
All songs from PopUpOcalypse were part of S!nk’s critically acclaimed 2018 and 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival shows at the Pianodrome, the world’s first hundred-seater theatre made from upcycled pianos. The band, the venue and the songs are distinct but intimately linked; born out of the same spirit of collaborative improvisation, playful experimentation and a love of the sound and feel of the things that we find.
