Musician and former editor of Punktastic, Tom Aylott is streaming his new EP, ‘Providence’. The release drew inspiration from Aylott’s recent adventures in South East Asia, written and recorded over 2 days upon his return.
As detailed on Speaking Tongues, Aylott’s own label, each track was written in regard to a particular country.
-‘Martyrs And Friends’ is about the remnants of the Vietnam war in and around Ho Chu Minh City – the Cu Chi Tunnels to North and the Can Geo area South of the city.
– ‘Concubines’ was inspired by the remnants of the Khmer Temples in Siem Reap and asks questions of where our current civilisation is headed under the stewardship of capitalism.
– ‘Martial Law’ is pretty straight up song about old friends and festive drinking in Thailand.
– ‘Motions’ is a song about ushering in a new year and being hungover as hell in Kuala Lumpur.
