Fear, Desire by Ether Mech
EP Listening party on 28th Sept! Free tickets and info here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ether-mech-ep-listening-party-tickets-1000008471257
Fear, Desire is the first EP from “ferocious and sparkling” Manchester band, Ether Mech, delivered to you in dazzling stereo sound. Formed in 2019 from the bubbling mass of Manchester community organising, Ether Mech’s current members are Madeleine Françoise on bass, synth and vocals, Vivien Holmes on guitar and vocals, and Rami Yasir on drums. Their cathartic blend of noise and sound has landed them spots at local festivals all over Manchester and Salford – Sounds from the Other City, Beyond the Music and Fat out Fest to name just a few – and allowed them to support personal favourite bands such as Screaming Females and SPECIAL INTEREST.
Recorded and mixed at No Studio by Joe Clayton of Pijn - whose previous work includes recording for Conjurer, Ithaca and Underdark - Ether Mech’s Fear Desire mixes elements of punk, metal, hardcore and pop into a sound that will pull you into its world guts first. You’ll find two voices screaming for your attention, a landscape vibrating in time with the synth. There’s the pounding, insistent drums, the viciousness of the guitar’s bite, the growl and groove of each bassline. These five tracks disappear into a landscape of weirdness, queerness, anger and release that is uniquely Ether Mech, and we’d love for you to join us.

Ether Mech represents the constant experience of duality in which we live. The ether - the world out there - represents what’s been created for us. In contrast, the mech represents what we create for ourselves.
Ether Mech combines the boundless fifth element of the ether, and the manufactured mecha that are created for war, combined to unleash the post-revolution cyborg utopia.
