"Hearing this ‘Dirt In The Keyboard’ remix, being taken in a totally different direction, was genuinely a big surprise", says Talk Show frontman Harrison Swann. “I’ve loved how the material we’ve worked on for so long, which had a specific intention, is getting this new life breathed into it and ultimately finding a completely new form. It’s been really inspiring giving the tracks out and hearing what comes back. Baby Rollén smashed it".
In a recent conversation with The Line of Best Fit, who described the EP as "rooted in the world of dance and techno, thrashed out live with grit and guitars" frontman Harrison Swann laughs, "Techno My Bloody Valentine, that’s a sick description. Fuck me, that needs to go on the press release".
In NME’s 4 out of 5 star review of the EP, they stated, "Informed by classic rave sounds, the four-piece's second EP is their most demanding and musically adventurous release yet... the London band initially found their home amidst their city’s post-punk crowd, but across the six tracks on ‘Touch The Ground’, they explore a 90s’ dance-inspired world of wild, gleeful guitar lines and techno drum beats. Here, clearly, is a band who are unafraid to try something different: the resulting EP sees them evoke both the fluid rhythms of Underworld and the contemporary trend of sprechgesang, a vocal delivery that flits between speaking and singing, and is used heavily by the likes of Yard Act and Do Nothing".
Singles leading to the EP release were praised by the likes of BrooklynVegan, who called "Underworld", "a banger that would sound good back to back with The Gossip's ‘Standing at the Edge of Control’", We All Want Someone To Shout For who said "Cold House" sounds like "The Rapture combined with Viagra Boys and Shame", and NME who described most recent single "Leather" as "feisty" and "energetic".
DIY Magazine, Dork, Clash, CLOUT, Thoughts Words Actions, Austin Town Hall, and more have also embraced the EP, and "Leather" also saw incredible support on Spotify with 9 official playlists adds: New Music Friday UK, Shockwave, Post Punk, The Other List, All New Punk, All New Rock, Unleashed, Melomania, and Hot New Bands.
