Transformation Motion Experiments No. XYZ I wanted to make those animated typographical designs that are so popular now. So i made some (way too many, so I had to choose 10) Once again experimenting with shapes, distortions and effects as my main elements for creation.

Interview: Abstract Typography

Ahead of the release of their debut EP ‘Dawn Chorus’ we chatted to band linchpin, Stanley Bull, to get the skinny on what inspired the making of the EP, why it’s being released on limited edition cassette, and pickled eggs and pints of bitter...

Hey Stan, your debut EP ‘Dawn Chorus’ comes out 22nd June via Casseblank Records; quick fire question: describe ‘Dawn Chorus’ in 3 words.

I'd have to go with 'overdue', 'indelible' and 'cathartic'. No explanation needed. 

What were your main influences when making ‘Dawn Chorus’ and were you inspired by anything unexpected?

All four of these songs began life as demos for my old band back in my uni bedroom in early 2015 - I have such a backlog of old tunes I'm trying to get out still. So they've all changed a bit over the years, but the main inspiration was always slacker rock groups like Pavement, grunge and alt rock bands a la Smashing Pumpkins and 80′s indie like The Smiths and Pixies. This decade has been great for a psych rock revival of sorts too, so that's an undeniable influence that's seeped in there. In terms of the production, I wanted to keep everything really thin and quite murky; the vocals shrouded in reverb and distortion. I think the Chronic Town EP by REM was the main blueprint for that, it's really mysterious but still accessible. 

As Abstract Typography is very much your own project; how does a track first come to life?

Almost every song I've written for this band so far has just been born out of strumming along on an unplugged electric guitar on my bed whilst watching films or TV, just picking out stupid riffs and tightening them up when I demo them on my laptop later on. Lyrics always seem to come after, and only when inspiration hits me, I can never force it out! I record shit loads of voice demos on my phone too; there's an obscene number of thrash metal riffs I've wanted to record before I forgot them that I've done nothing with since. Maybe that could form the next EP, who knows.

Your EP is available via limited cassette; what’s the reason behind a tape release?

Firstly, I'm a huge fan of physical copies of music, especially for indie bands. I stream albums too to discover new stuff but when I get invested in a band I like to own whatever I can – if they're worth it then it's nice to fully submerge yourself in their world. I've never stopped buying CDs as I love flicking through the booklets and reading all the liner notes. The second reason is that when I was younger I found all of my Dad's music on cassettes from the 80′s and 90′s in his record collection, and I thought it was such a cool format to store music on. I used to draw my own cassette and CD covers all the time for made up bands, and I'd write imaginary track listings on all of them. I like the fact that nobody has a cassette player anymore. It just shows that people who still buy them are serious about supporting the band any way they can.

On 28th July you’re playing a Casseblank Records showcase at The Mothers’ Ruin in Bristol; what can we expect from your set?

We've added a third guitar player to line up; our friend Matt Teal, who produced 'I Feel Better Already' and 'Charmed Ridge' with me. He's as much of a prodigy on the axe as he is behind the desk. Beyond that, he's been in every band I've ever been in so it was a no brainer to recruit him really. At Dot to Dot we started incorporating a few more sludge riffs into the set between songs, so you can expect things to get even fucking heavier again with another guitar player/avid Sleep fan in the group.

And finally, your video ‘I Feel Better Already’ looks to be set in a working man’s club; are you partial to a pickled egg and a pint of bitter?! 

I can honestly say I've never had either of those things in my life, but I had to become a member to shoot the video so I should really go back and make the most of my discounted pints. I'd like to clarify that the intention of the video wasn't to poke fun or turn our noses up at Working Men's Clubs and the like, but rather the opposite. Where I'm from in the countryside, there's hardly any music venues left, so if I did want to play a hometown gig this would be the sort of place I'd be playing anyway. The lack of people in attendance in the video at the end is more a comment on the lack of investment people (locally to me) put into young original bands. I actually knew about the place as I played a Halloween gig there when I was 16!

Dawn Chorus EP comes in two formats; strictly limited edition 1 of 50 orange cassette tapes. Available digitally on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and all good digital retail stores
