The Further

THE FURTHER

All songs written and recorded by Matt Turner.

Influences: Ride and Slowdive are our gods, Early Boo Radleys, then Chapterhouse, My Bloody Valentine, Jean Paul Sartre Experience . . . Radiohead, maybe Pulp kind of and oh, that other British band, you know the one. Shut up. Indie Shoegazer Dreampop. Still a fence-of-noise rather than a full blown wall at this point. Creation Records, Alan Moulder, Bowl Cuts, Anoraks, Art School, Monogamy, Ambiguous Lyrics, Rain Metaphors, Morrissey more so than Robert Smith. And we fuckin' hate those gallagher twats.

Why this name? I don't know . . . it sort of hints at an ambiguous depth . . . while possessing certain phonetic qualities . . . it carries meaning, but the point of which . . . isn't clear . . .

Do You play live? Well um . . . we have done one show, but we're kinda looking for a new singer at the moment. And I need either someone to play bass or guitar. If we could get a drummer, that would be good too.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry? I don't really use the internet that much, I'm more about, y'know . . . communing with the music, y'know. But we're gonna be doing some shit like this blog and we're doing a profile on that myspace thing, which is kinda weird because I'm not really sure if I'm ready to start letting people hear the songs and stuff . . . especially with no vocals . . .

Would you still sign a record contract with a major label? It really depends on what you mean by Major, I mean if we're selling records like Coldplay then we have to be in a position to take a step back and ask ourselves if we have remained true to the vision of putting together the world's greatest Indie Shoegaze band . . .
