Max Tundra 2009 UK Tour & New Single

Max Tundra releases a new download single, Which Song, which is taken from his recently released third studio album, Parallax Error Beheads You on 2nd February 2009.

Which Song will be released amidst a string of UK dates, which, having recently supported Hot Chip on an extensive UK tour, sees Max play the following shows:

JANUARY 2009
28th Cardiff Shape Function / Club Ifor Bach (w/ Ben Butler & Mouse Pad)
29th Bristol The Fleece (with Ben Butler and Mouse Pad)
30th London Cargo (with Pete Um, Ben Butler and Mouse Pad)

FEBRUARY 2009

5th Leeds Brudenell Social Club (with Ben Butler and Mouse Pad)
6th Manchester Deaf Institute
7th Bracknell South Hill Park

There are more ideas crammed into the 41 minutes of Max Tundra’s third album than most bands manage in their whole careers. Parallax Error Beheads You is a masterpiece of micro-melodies and sound-bytes; a triumph of splicing, dicing and editing. It’s an intricate mosaic of sounds and styles, some of which you might recognise from the last 30 years of pop, rock, prog, disco, funk, techno, rap, metal and soul, but many of which are completely new: either from a startling recombination of existing genres, or from Max inventing an original one himself. The attention to detail, and the sheer speed at which ideas whizz past you in the mix, will leave you stunned.

Mentioning that Which Song sounds like Scritti Politti had they signed to Warp in 1991, Max admits, “I like the Scritti comparisons.” For him, 80s pop isn’t a Guilty Pleasure, it’s an untapped resource.

In between furiously mixing and matching and inventing new futures for pop he’s been supporting himself by doing remixes of other bands, both unofficially (Missy Elliot, The Strokes) and officially (Franz Ferdinand, Futureheads, Pet Shop Boys).
