Good Morning!
Today we’re listening to “Fall” by Single Gun Theory.
A hot topic on #musictwitter lately has been discovery; where were you when you first heard XXX?
It seems like everyone -at least in my circle- has a Tower Records story. Maybe a recommendation by one of the staff. Maybe a record just caught your eye. Or maybe it was on the in-store playlist.
With this band, it was the latter for me. I heard it and stopped in my tracks. I can’t remember what I came in for, but I know I left with a copy of this.
Single Gun Theory was an Australian trio founded in the mid-’80s. After 3 full-length records, and a few EPs they stopped making music.
They’ve never officially split up, but after over 20 years of silence, it’s a good bet they won’t be in the studio anytime soon, either.
More:
We tend to write a lot, but also throw a lot away. Also, like everyone else, we have lives to live. We work, we fall in love, we break up, we move house, we travel, we write music. For a start, we all have full-time day jobs. I’m a computer programmer, Kath’s a psychologist and Jacq’s a fashion designer…so there’s at least 35 hours gone every week…

Nice track. I like its psychedelic vibe ✨ It feels 6/10 to me
It’s so-so for me. A pleasant discovery, but not quite my cup of tea. That’s why I’m here--to find the next big track for my library!
