Man/Woman/Chainsaw live from The Close Encounter Club

MAN/WOMAN/CHAINSAW the exciting, unpredictable five-piece who have been pushing boundaries since their independent debut at the wee earth-age of 16 “we thrive on the thin line between pretty and noisy, often trying to jump between the two - it’s that chaos that excites us" the tracklist according to M/W/C: THE BOSS The heaviest of the songs on the EP and definitely a live favourite of ours. We wanted to express our frustration with imbalanced power dynamics in our everyday lives with a big supermassive rant of a rock song. Working in the studio with Dan Fox (Gilla Band) was fun and allowed us to experiment with getting the song to sound as spacey as we could get it - we particularly enjoyed recording the electric violin through guitar amps cranked to 10 while simultaneously manipulating a tape delay unit. ODE TO CLIO It took us a year to write and it’s a nonsensical collage of people and relationships we’ve encountered throughout that time - moving from serene to tumultuous, all held together by Clio’s overarching violin melody. We think it’s the centrepiece of the EP, it encapsulates the range of the sound palette we work with. SHE LOOKS SO PERFECT Yes. It's 5 Seconds Of Summer.
