Palm Skin Productions - AKA versatile musician, producer, and DJ Simon Richmond (whose CV includes Mo' Wax, Depeche Mode, REM, Pulp, Neneh Cherry, and The Bays) - announces new four-track EP titled Trickle Up', a revolutionary call to arms against trickle down economics. Talking about the meaning of the EP, Simon explains:
"Trickle Up to me is all about resisting the many forces that try to drag us down in different ways. The way the UK has been governed for well over a decade has been characterised by a downward trajectory as the extreme acquisition of wealth is increasingly rewarded at the expense of everyone else's well-being".
EP opener and lead-single "Trickle Up" is an acid-tinged, dancefloor-stomper; "Stealing The Sunset" melds live electronic sounds with a low-slung bass guitar (played with a 2 pence piece for added grit); "Back To Detroit" enacts on Simon's cut-up fidget sound blueprint while paying homage to the motor city, and lastly "Du(m)b Witness" pulsates with a brash UK swagger.
