intro
Rudimentary and faintly-disturbing sounding, but enjoyable debut EP from Scottish duo the Stark Palace, the new project of Roger Simian, a former member of Dawn of the Replicants
Like Jo Brand, Roger Simian was a psychiatric nurse. He is also is a former member of Dawn of the Replicants. And if search engine results can be trusted Simian never made it on to panel, not even on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'. He is now teaming up with Cameron Jack as the Stark Palace, but there is no drastic change here from the sound of Dawn of the Replicants. Prepare for rudimentary recordings of a slightly disturbing nature. This 'Lost Women' EP a the place where pounding rock rhythms meet with exquisitely weird melody and story lines. The style is harsh, unpolished, thoroughly underproduced, but, no, it's no mess; it creates its own subterranean realms and echoes. The Stark Palace are even sufficiently proud of their Scottish heritage to end their EP with sounds from a tubetrain leaving a Glasgow station.
