Foot Village need YOUR help to finish their new album

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 | Comment on this video »

Time is tight, though, so you’d better get your creativity on. Now.

We’ve just gotten word Hollywood Foot Village started recording their new album ‘Anti-Magic’ on the 17th December, and their people assure us it’s going to be brain wranglingly terrific. Going on past form that would be an acoustic hardcore thunderous drum-n-shout type of brain wrangling, and you know how we like that.

Which is why we’re encouraging you to accede to their demands, and contribute to the album. The track they’re asking for help with is called ‘Chicken And Cheese’ and they describe it as ‘a celebration of requited love, a call to arms, an espionage and also an ever evolving loop about the world uniting through music.’ It has a brief lyric, one line, “We write love songs in a secret language that no one can resist”. The plan is for Foot Village to start the loop and then switch ‘every few measures’ to another interpretation. And when they say interpretation, they mean that in the broadest possible sense, asking people to ‘really go crazy, change it as much as you like, take it to places only you can reach.’

So what’re you waiting for? We’ve pasted a link to a practice space recording of the loop below. When you’ve finished send your version to dbombarc@gmail.com. The Deadline for inclusion is January 15th 2009.
