I like the title because it seems to suggest being out of step or out of kilter with the times which it probably is. I decided to write the songs on piano - despite having never played the instrument before in my life - because I liked the idea of naivety and discovery and having a new angle on songwriting after so many years doing it. I explored the classical music solo piano music canon before embarking on the project because I wanted to see what had been done with the piano before I sat my useless self in front of it. Schubert's lieder, Chopin's Nocturnes, Debussy's neo psychedelia, Mozart's pristine classicism, Beethoven's cosmic exploration - it was an amazing journey of discovery of a whole universe of music I'd previously known nothing about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.

The songs had been written, demo’d and arranged for some time, but still with a little room for trying things out in the studio. Many carloads arrived at the house, full of amps guitars and recording gear, we set up camp and soon made it feel like home; coloured lights, a log fire, and home cooked meals in the kitchen.

The keyboard, bass and drums trio don't have a guitar player, but their overwhelming sound and energy creates an atmosphere akin to a traditional loud power trio – except their music is anything but traditional. They create darkly hypnotic and frenetic music that's both rhythmically complex and sinister. If that paints any sort of aural picture, it comes as no surprise that \"Gillian,\" their homage to X-Files star Gillian Anderson, was roundly endorsed by the ex-punk actress herself on social media before the band had even played shows outside of their home country or received any support from larger press outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lang-en\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Ruddell \u003c\/strong\u003e(26, keyboards\/vocals), \u003cstrong\u003eAmanda Cheng \u003c\/strong\u003e(26, bass\/vocals) and \u003cstrong\u003eTom Leggett\u003c\/strong\u003e (22, drums) met studying Jazz Performance at the University of Auckland, and started Wax Chattels a few years later after they'd lived in Japan, Ireland, gone to Law School and\/or performed in various other projects. Though Peter plays heavily treated keyboards in the band, he's a multi-instrumentalist that focused on sax in school. His influences range from old horror movies to the more outrageous side of live performance styles in Tokyo's music and art scene. \"We want to play shows that make people feel uncomfortable. The goal is to leave the audience feeling slightly altered, like they have experienced, not just heard or seen something.\" This is evident in the self-recorded \"Stay Disappointed,\" the band's self-recorded debut single where Peter takes the lead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lang-en\"\u003eFrom novels to tweets, bassist Amanda is drawn to art and writing that addresses adversity. She's influenced by recurring themes of various difficulties she has experienced in her own life, challenges she feels are overly ubiquitous in the narratives of young women of color. Her post-punk informed bass lines provide the backbone for most of the band's tracks, though when she takes the lead on \"It,\" she's unrestrained. A song about \"really fucking wanting to fuck,” \"It\" expresses that it's important to not only have more visible women in the arts – especially in genres of traditionally \"dude music\" – but also to explicitly address female sexual desires. She finds these themes are usually shrouded in subtler terms, well-dressed metaphors and cute euphemisms. Perhaps, if people hear or see these statements more, female sexuality and\/or libido could become a less shameful, \"behind close doors only\" thing. \"Slut shaming is real, prevalent, and wrong.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lang-en\"\u003eInitially, Peter and Amanda started \u003cstrong\u003eWax Chattels\u003c\/strong\u003e by writing tracks with a drum machine before realizing the band would be more exciting with a live drummer. Tom was playing and continues to play in a feminist punk band as well as various jazz acts in Auckland. And, the one thing Tom hates the most in this world? Being stuck in traffic. By living in the city, he has an endless supply of anger to take out on the drums, which influences \u003cstrong\u003eWax Chattels’\u003c\/strong\u003e punishing aesthetic. His minimal kit propels the band like a freight train. When asked why he paired his kit down to what it is, Tom said: \"I saw a pianist play with only ten working keys and still sound great... I started following drummers such as Mark Guiliana, Paul Motian and Deantoni Parks, who all play minimal kits, and it always put me in awe when I heard how unrestricted they were by their set up. Also, less drums = less pack down.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lang-en\"\u003eComposing together, the band worked up their material for a year prior to recording. “We tracked the songs as a live band to capture the energy of the live show, restricting ourselves to instruments which we play live and keeping all production to a minimum to focus on the band sound itself.\" The band \"come from\" and \"go to\" different places on stage and in their heads when they write, record and perform, largely because they aren't the kind of band with homogeneous interests outside of music. Live, they are not to be missed. While they do come across as a \"rock\" band, it's coming from so many places so quickly that you're kind of left wondering where you're going. The opening of the one-chord tour de force “Concrete” begins in a downright frightening and jarring place and turns into an almost Krautrock-via-Suicide crescendo.
