They are a true experimental collective, combining spoken word + improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s the abundance of small venues accommodating free entry gigs and promoters like VWR and Freakz, that enables the East Sussex seaside town to develop a scene comparable to New Yorks late 70\u2019s No Wave movement.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Column258 can count themselves as one the burgeoning scene\u2019s protagonists. There live shows combine mischievous art-rock with a psychedelic atmosphere Blending analogue and digital:&nbsp;bluenote brass, korgs, screaming vocoders and hypnotic guitars&nbsp;with inventive song cycles. Multi-vocal looping, poems written on the back of gas bills and electric pinecones, the band exemplifies the unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Column258\u2019s live foundations are in warehouse parties, roof top gigs and art galleries.&nbsp; It\u2019s only been over this last year they started playing more traditional rock venues resulting in tightly honed performances through years of playing but considered\u201d new players\u201d to promoters and gig goers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no such thing as a \u201cfinal version\u201d with Column258\u2019s material, so when the band were offered free access to studio space above a disused tool hire station in an industrial outreach of town, they decided that whatever they left with, that would be the album.&nbsp; Sometimes it\u2019s the restriction that enables the art.&nbsp; The studio space was full of equipment accumulated by the owner over decades of salvage.&nbsp; The vocal shield, prominent on the record cover, was originally used by The Who.&nbsp; Well-rehearsed songs flowed between on-the-spot jams. Fine-tuned lyrics butted against headlines read from the newspapers gaffa taped to the studio ceiling. Mic\u2019s crackled and affects boards sparked. This could easily have D I S A S T E R written all over it. But fortune favoured the foolish with the end recordings providing enough quality output to cover two albums.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, the band are offering up a taste of their work with a special video for the album\u2019s opening track, \u201813<sup>th<\/sup> Floor\u2019. It\u2019s a true story, stranded high up in a tower block in Frankfurt\u2019s Europa quarter; song describes escalating feelings of vertigo, claustrophobia and nausea, as the writer is stuck in a dark and filthy room with a chain-smoking poet\/sculptor. The line about climbing into his BMW Messerschmitt micro car underscores the feelings of entrapment and the off the ceiling rage to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the \u201813<sup>th<\/sup> Floor\u2019 video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zvI9Ajdvf6o\">HERE<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interloper (Workshop Sessions Vol 1) is late night listening; it\u2019s for digesting and pondering if any of it was actually intentional or a simple glorious accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-order Interloper (Workshop Sessions Vol 1) <a href=\"https:\/\/column258.bandcamp.com\/album\/interloper-the-workshop-sessions-vol-1\">HERE<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Find Column258 online at:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/column258.co.uk\/\">WEBSITE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/column258\">FACEBOOK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/column_258\/\">INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Column258 are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross Clifford &#8211; Vocals, Electric Guitar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Weekes &#8211; Bass Guitar, Drones, FX<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Williams &#8211; Drums<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andy Cooper &#8211; Acoustic Guitar, Cornet (vocals on Crosby Goodnight &amp; Interloper)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kath Alsop &#8211; Violin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yair Katz &#8211; Percussion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Column258 \u2013 Interloper (The Workshop Sessions Vol 1) Release date: 25th April 2025 via Property Of The Lost Pre-order the album HERE: \u2018This is music as a force for change, seeking escape from the tyranny of conformist predictability.\u2019 (David Erdos, International Times). \u201cIf Bauhaus\u2019 Peter Murphy fronted Future Days era Can\u201d (Sean Kitchin, the Quietus) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26306"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26309,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26306\/revisions\/26309"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
