The Return Of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry Sees A Fresh Chassis And New EP For Driving Black

Driving Black (Ding’s Remix)

Anything that makes me feel young again is worth my time at least once, and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry were formed the year I was born. That’ll do, they sound as good as they should for their level of experience and the million hours they’ve spent doing what they love. The band’s first radio single since 1991, their producer and bassist Simon “Ding” Archer reveals a new shimmering side to their popular song. Having worked with The Fall, Pixies, PJ Harvey, 1919, and plenty of others, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry are undoubtedly thrilled to have this guy on their roster. Known for their edgy and minimalist post-punk sound, the band known endearingly as The Lorries (it’s just as hard to type as it is to say) are preparing for their new Driving Black EP release just as soon as the remix single makes it around the circuit a few times. Let’s start the ignition.  

It begins with a tight drumscore with a slight punk thrill to the tempo. Vibrant and harmonious guitars then begin to chug and radiate with shining rock powerchords. The vocals enter, rhythmic and straight, a telephone distortion adds warmth and character to the lyrics. It’s like we’re listening in over the CB radio. The chorus gets it just right as the riff launches into a new section to break up the song. A pulsing and loop-based rhythm keeps the motion going in a vertical direction as the music keeps pushing the limits on how many times we can move our head in 3 and a half minutes.   

You can get music by Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, including the limited edition vinyl of Driving Black, from Bandcamp
