Today’s song is “Butcher’s Hook” by The Nylon Admirals. The Seattle, Washington duo is a nostalgic nod to British TV show themes of the 70s. Their name is borrowed from a piece of Cockney rhyming slang still used today.
They formed in 2019 with the specific mission of injecting the drama and richness of cinematic music into a modern electronica scene that they have seen watered down over the past two decades by the predominance of loop-based background music tailored solely to dancing or chilling.
They cite their primary musical influence as legendary British multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield, whose work features similar collages of sounds and styles, capped with rousing crescendos. Other influential artists include Hans Zimmer, The Prodigy, Jean-Michel Jarre, Philip Glass, Björk, and The Art of Noise.
This duo makes high-charged electronic music that needs no words. This track combines progressive rock guitars with a voltage of electronic music that creates an exciting orchestral sound that keeps you on your toes.
