June 23, 2023
Showcasing music from its initial and most accomplished pioneers [PIAS] arranged 18 new EPs. Among others they set up a realignment of tracks by alternative rock band New Fast Automatic Daffodils.
New Fast Automatic Daffodils (also known as New FADS) were an alternative rock band from Manchester, England, formed in 1988 by Andy Spearpoint, Dolan Hewison, Icarus Wilson-Wright, Justin Crawford and Perry Saunders. The band had a distinctly more artistic and experimental style than many other bands associated with the then popular baggy/madchester style, music reminiscent of A Certain Ratio as well as Happy Mondays. Signed in 1990 to Play It Again Sam Records, their debut album, Pigeonhole, reached the UK top 50 in November. The band released nine singles and three albums before breaking up in 1996.
Part of the EP is for instance their greatest hit "BIG". The album version of this song likely presents a polished and fully realized version of their sound. Known for its infectious grooves and energetic instrumentation it captures the essence of the band's experimental yet accessible approach. The song's driving rhythms, combined with distinctive vocal delivery, create an engaging and memorable experience for listeners.
