Posted by LetsLoop on October 24, 2016, 2:25 pm Minor Victories (a supergroup formed of @Slowdive's Rachel Goswell, @Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite, @Editors ' Justin Lockey & Hand Held Cine Club's James Lockey) have shared an orchestral version of their song Cogs, which first appeared on their self-titled debut album in June this year.This new version of the song will feature on Orchestral Variations - a series of instrumental interpretations of the songs from their debut album. It will be released on clear 180-gram double vinyl on Black Friday (November 25) in North America via Fat Possum. It’s out in the rest of the world and digitally on January 27.
Here's what Justin Lockey had to say about the new album:
"I don’t really know that much about music in terms of theory, notes, scales etc. I generally just fuck about with things until it sounds right to my ear... So I guess to call this album ‘Orchestral Variations,’ it would have to be in the loosest ever sense of the term.
When we were putting together the Minor Victories album, a lot of the music came about through string arrangements, motifs, melodies, countermelodies and other such noodlings I was messing about with. This record kind of takes it back to that initial point, and re-imagines the whole record from that standpoint–the bare bones, the hint at a vocal melody, not relying on any backbeat–but stripping the songs back to the base elements and then piece-by-piece making an entirely new record. It takes the songs and elements around them and the phrases into a new place, mostly born out of hindsight and I guess a curiosity to fuck around with it all long enough until it sounded right to my ear. From all that an entirely new record was formed. It’s not a remix album, or b-sides... it’s just another way at looking/hearing things."
