about

BIG STIR RECORDS SINGLES SERIES is pleased to announce the latest single release by THE SPEED OF SOUND titled “Replicant”, available for pre-order now and out this coming Friday at date and note that single is up for preorder at bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com/music . Driven by acoustic guitar and exuding a joyous hip-swaying bouncing beat. Replicant playfully asks questions about the very nature of human existence. Here too, The Speed Of Sound draw heavily from their Science-Fiction influences. While Replicant seems to inhabit the same universe as “Blade Runner” it also carries another message from the corporate world. Where modern job interviews appear to have evolved into some kind of reverse Voight-Kampff Test; instead of designed to detect replicants, the purpose is to determine if the applicant has unfortunately retained any human characteristics, or will - as hoped - mechanically follow scripts and instructions. Do Androids dance to analogue music? We don’t know, but point your arm and shout along with the chorus.

Now in their 4th decade, Manchester UK’s underground music veterans The Speed Of Sound return to the Big Stir Records Digital Singles again displaying two vastly contrasting sides of their own distinctive, distilled and deeply recognizable tones. John Armstrong (Songwriting/Guitars/Vocals), Ann-Marie Crowley (Vocals/Guitars), Kevin Roache (Bass guitar), John Broadhurst (Drums). Plus, on Replicant the keyboards of Henry Armstrong (yes, that’s father and son). Born at the century’s turn, with eight years of studying improvisational music and an intuitive approach he adds a new dimension to the already mesmeric music.

We are thrilled to bring themes of the upcoming full-length album with this singles release! For more on The Speed of Sound:
