Working Men’s Club playing YES in Manchester (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
It’ll now be October before Working Men’s Club debut album sees the light of day, and so to keep things ticking over the band have come up with something quite unusual.
Their first record has got the rare distinction of having a remix version made available before the original – it’s streaming all this week on their official website. “Our album would have been released today but we had to push the release back due to Covid,” Sydney Minsky-Sargean says.
“It doesn’t feel like a particularly apt time to be self promoting anything at all however we wanted to give something to the people who pre-ordered the album on what would of the original release date. Initially it seemed a bit of a crazy idea to go and remix an album we’ve just made that isn’t even out yet. But once we got into it we were like, ‘let’s f***ing go for it’.”
“It’s free flowing and electronic, rather than sounding like a band. It gives an insight into what the record is like, as well as the future of the band, but it’s also something totally exclusive. It’s very much its own thing.”
