Scatter EP - Clear Vinyl Edition

    THIS IS A RECORD STORE DAY 2014 EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED TO ONE PER PERSON.

    The Inca babies release the “Scatter EP” on 12” crystal clear vinyl for Record store Day 2014. The Inca Babies take to vinyl again and from the Urban Mancunian soundscape comes a one chord slab of pure pounding deathrock punk-blues. The Incas re-discover their primal punk instinct slamming down a searing riff that sings at the deep raw edge between ecstasy and danger. The track has become an explosive finale to their live shows on their recent UK and European tour of 2013. On the other side of this 12” vinyl ep is a choice collection of tracks both old and new. The opener, ‘Superior Spectre’ is a long lost 1984 Peel session track never before available. Here it has been re-recorded and lovingly placed as the opener to the B side. From the Incas sixth Album “Deep Dark Blue” the title track has been selected as a twang-surf tribute to the genius that was Link Wray and Dick Dale. From their acclaimed fifth album “Death message Blues” comes ‘Walk like Jesus’ a jaunty piece of catwalk blues written for the Messiah.

    After the release of “Death Message Blues” in October of 2010, “Deep Dark Blue” is their sixth studio album. If “Death Message Blues” was a collection of loss and acceptance, after the untimely death of original bassist Bill Marten in 2008, then, “Deep Dark Blue” is a reflection of songs about hope and endeavour, but with the usual mischief and lyrical mendacity reminiscent of previous recordings. It reflects a re-shaping of the Incas sound into a perhaps mature and yet wilful approach to guitars, percussion and offbeat narratives of tall tales and extravagant characters. Made in Manchester, UK, the Album began at their now ‘house’ studio, Courtyard Recording studios, but with an unexpected breakdown laying low their brilliant producer Tim Woodward, the Incas were forced to up-root and finish elsewhere. They were recommended Phil Green’s Blue Room for its, sheer live sonic delight. And overall, the 13 new songs, written by Harry S., have taken on further inspiration of styles and genres.

    There’s surf punk, there’s trashman’s blues, death rock grunge and end of the world ballads. While the last album saw new territories open up for the band having played in Rome, Milan, Lithuania, Los Angeles and Warsaw, where they were embraced and applauded for their singular, blistering approach to live performance; This new album, “Deep Dark Blue”, with its exploration into yet more exuberant sounds and ideas, is looking for the band to consolidate and find yet newer untapped congregations to enthral.

    ‘Death Message Blues’ is the powerful new album from UK swamp blues band The Inca Babies.

    It’s their sixth album in a career spanning 28 years and marks their full return to live performance after the death of founder member bassist Bill Marten.

    Originally formed in Manchester in 1983 by guitarist and vocalist Harry Stafford and bassist Bill Marten, the band released four albums and recorded four sessions for the BBC’s legendary John Peel Show before splitting in 1988. Reuniting in 2007, Stafford and Marten recruited Gold Blade drummer Rob Haynes, but work on the new album was halted by Marten’s sudden death in 2008.

    After a period of reflection, it was decided to complete the work that Marten had begun, with the band’s long-time friend Vince Hunt (A Witness, Pure Sound) taking over on bass.

    ‘Death Message Blues’ features twelve new tracks penned by Harry S. casting a net across fast and spiky r’n’b, swamp blues, bastard country and punk power. Lyrically, the songs observe usual Inca traits of wild characters, ghosts and murderous stories, with reflections too on the passing of Inca founding member, bassist Bill Marten.
