Kagoule's first new single of 2017 is inspired by Terminator 2
Nottingham's Kagoule have shared "Monsieur Automaton", their vicious new single and first new material of 2017.
"Not sure what inspired this one," says Kagoule's Cai Burns of the follow up to last year's "Magnified". "I wrote most of it whilst I was watching Terminator 2, could've been that. It was probably that. In fact, it was definitely inspired by Terminator 2. Terminator 2 kicks ass. The song came together within minutes, you shoulda seen it, it was a magical event. Usually we play a riff for about 12 seconds and then bail into some kind 'The Kinks after 12 pints' jam or something that sounds a bit like a buffering video."
Matt Johnson (Hookworms) recorded the single at his Suburban Home studios in Leeds, with Spoon's Jim Eno on mixing.
Kagoule have also announced a new UK tour for November, including a date at London's 100 Club and a hometown date at the Bodega Social Club. Find out more.
