Combining their creativity across transatlantic collaboration, Manchester’s Harry Stafford has aligned with USA guitarist Marco Butcher to bring us this new single. This first snippet from the new album, We Are The Perilous Men due out in the Autumn, takes the Inca Babies founder and former frontman to the trash-blues sounds of North Carolina. Filmed at a local 16th Century cemetery in Manchester’s suburbs, the music video gives the duo a sense of the traditional to match the cutting-edge compositions and style. From the days of 2021, when the pair made history with Bone Architecture, this latest record continues the theme of passing ideas back and forth between the two English speaking nations.
 
Background ambience rises into a groovy drumbeat that’s dressed in classy chords. The melodic progression forms a marching beat as the lyrics begin with punctual style. Elaborate reverb spaces out the delivery as a chunky rhythm section plods with surging blues and rock n roll vibes. Elements of the classic Doors keyboard sound build in the inflections as the chorus rises with a graceful incline. Chugging riffs lay down the tundra that escapes out of view as we trudge through a breezy and inventive score.
